About twenty-five business men and

ing.

Citizens National Bank and direct
or of the Community Club. made a
report of The budget plan for the
year 1928 as outlined by the board of

stated that the board of directors of
the Club had decided to cut the year
ly assessment of the business estab-
lishments half in two for this year,
and that the assessments would be
collected semi-annually instead of
quarterly. With the adoption of the
lower assessments it is expected to
raise budget fund of about $12.OO.OO

defray the necessary expenses of the
Club during the coming year.

alarm in the event of fire. He urged
that in the event of fire that the
person turning in the alarm give a
definite description to the telephone
operator or the engineer at the pow
er plant, as to the exact location of
the fire. BY so doing the fire depart
ment will not be delayed, as has been
the case on several previous occas-
ions, when an alarm was turned in and
| the party giving the alarm "hung up"
before giving a clear description of
the location of the fire. Mr.. Charles
impressed upon his listeners the great
Importance of this matter, and urged
all to cooperate with the Julesburg

fort to establish systematic method
Of turning in an alarm in the case of
