Gus matters of civic interest. Fore
most among them was the unanimous
approval of the traffic committee re-
port that was submitted by the Joint

chants Bureau for further endorse
ment. after which it will be sent to

ulations, all of which will be incor-
porated i'll a new ira fiic ordinance,
when finally approved by the city
fathers
Another decision, which will meet

winter carnival filmed for publicity
purposes. A single reel of the most
spectacular events will be taken and
it will be available for use in schools,

same to be confirmed at the next
monthly meeting of the board.
The board unanimously voted APP
prevail of the splendid work of the
winter carnival committee as re-
ported on by Chairman Lawrence G.
Purinton. Plans for making the work
of the committee permanent and for
maintaining the lead that Augusta
has already gained as the leading
winter sports city of Maine, were
talked over. Words OF praise were
spoken by every member of the board
and smiles were frequent and verbal
applause almost continuous as the
various carnival stunts" We're re-
vealed to the board.
1t was voted to authorize the Sec
rotary to act as manager of the play.

which the play is to be given from
winter sports to summer baseball.
Already two applications have been
received from nearby towns for the
play under local auspices for the
! benefit of summer baseball on a
$3.50 basis.
A splendid report from the COM
| mittee on Express Deliveries was
read and accepted. r. f. Beane, as
| chairman, assured the board of the
willingness Of the express company
to give adequate service and asked

A proposition from the Buffalo

some 5000 coast to coast lectures
during The season of 1923-l924.
The Board unanimously endorsed
the bill now before the legislature
which seeks to provide a higher and
more attractive salary for supreme
court Justices. AS the Augusta
Chamber of Commerce very rarely
endorses legislation. it's endorsement
of this bill is doubly significant.
