and banquet and dues Of $24 per year.

mcnt and extension Of the present wa
terworks system. Mr.. McCuen stated
that the committee had not been able
to get q full report from the city in
time to make a complete report, but
read figures which had been in hand
for some time, including information
secured from other cities, which he
said indicated that the tax levy in Lau-
renS would have to be raiesd from %
mills, the present levy, to 33 mills be-
fore the city could stand bond issue
as large as other cities Of the same
size as .Iaurcns. On motion from

with instructions to make it's complete
report at the next meeting.
Following the committee reports,
the meeting was thrown open for gen

he said other counties were doing. Sew
eral bankers present, including L. G.

Lancaster, Of the enterprise National
Bank, and j. j. Adams, Of the Laurens
National Bank, pointed out that the
requirements OF the War Finance Cor
poration were so bound up in red
tape and that there were such other
restrictions that it was questionable
|whether or not it was advisable for
local banks to go into the arrange
ment.
Mr.. William Colder, guest for the
occasion, asked as to suggestions he
might make to the new league, said
that the important thing before the
people OF this section today Is to pro-
vide markets for the produce whicn
the farmers will grow next year. The
farmers, he said, must have some out
let for their products and that the
Business Mems League could help
them. Mr.. Gelder's suggestion was
given general endorsement and Pres.

make q report later.
