Axel Mejerton, chairman of the gen.
eral committee, stated that they had

nothing definite had been formulated.
The main reason for the meeting

start off with clean slate.
William Parker nominated William

with citizens to back up their presi-
dent and other officers. He stated he
and the other officers were elected
last year during their absence and
with out their knowledge, and that
was an unfair advantage to take of
men. The Club, the past year, he
said, had not functioned as 1. should,
but that was very largely caused by
the lack of cooperation on behalf of
the citizens as a whole. The following
resolution was unanimously adopted
by the club:
RESOLVED, that the Sank
Centre Commercial Club goes on
record. as favoring the Re-im-
bursement County Bond Issue
Law now before the Legislature

for paving where needed, and also
that the Club go on record in

sue as proposed by Highway
Commissioner Babcock.

Z the earliest possible moment.
