of the plan depends very largely
upon their work it is pointed out.
in the judgment Of the committee,
women will make the best lieuten-
ants, and captains should have in
mind the successful carrying out OF
the details in the selection of their
assistants Arrangements have been.
snade with the Griffith Advertising
company for substantial steel
street marker to cost $1.O0 each,
and by placing one on opposite cor
ners. the cost OF the markers will
only be $500 for each block.
1t is believed that the people liv-
ine on each block will gladly con-
tribute the small amount to pay
for the two markers; each lieuten-
anti will be asked to collect this
money for the blocks that he or she
represents, and turn it over to the
captain on the street, who will then
purchase the marker for the entire
street and see that they are deliv-
cred to the lieutenants, who will see
that they are properly placed.
Each captain and lieutenant are
expected to see that every house
on their street is numbered and the
lieutenants are asked to make sur.
vey Of their block and use their ef-
forts to persuade the house owners
to secure numbers for their house
if not numbered. Inexpensive num-
bers can be secured from the stores
or the Gfiffithd Advertising company
will furnish number plate at %
cents each, ses
Captains are urged to keep the
interest in the work alive during the
summer, that the trees, grass and
flowers may be kept in good con-
dition.

Commerce civic committee are; B.
