la small indebtedness OF three or
four hundred dollars that would
have to be assumed by the CONSOLE

over. would more than balance this
amount.

| discussed those present voted unani-
mously in favor of the plan.

ttion for the purpose. Six or more
traps could be set up and there i6
ample room for parking cars as well
as for the placing of the house and
buildings necessary to accommodate
the shooters.
A committee was appointed by
president Deter to negotiate with he
Pennsylvania railroad company, md
