Fourth of July.
r. J Rossi. chairman of the Fourth |
Of July committee. stated that he
felt that the board was not in posi-
ton TO ask contributions for the Gel
ebration in view of the fact that over
$500 contributed fer the celebration
last year had been diverted to another
purpose. He agreed that the purpose
Tor which it is being used is a good
me but the. fact remains that the
people who subscribed the fund did
so for the Fourth of July and not for
swimming pool In that situation
he could not with good grade as :
