An enthusiastic meeting Of the
Armory seating committee was held
at the Civic and Commerce associa-
ton offices on Wednesday of this
week, to consider ways and means
for raising the funds needed to pay
eff the indebtedness involved. Plans
Tor holding a proposed three day
pageant next July, have been aban-
doned temporarily, and will not be
considered further provided that
other plans for securing funds pro-
duce results. One suggestion adopt
ed at the meeting, was to Solicit
contributions using the sum Of three
dollars, the price OF a chair as
unit, and as a basis for subscrip-
tions. Accordingly a person buy :
ing ten chairs" would pay $50, and
SO forth. This plan met with gen.
eral favor on the part Of those pres =,
ent at the meeting, and portion OF
the money needed will be raised IN
this manner. A tag day and various
entertainments will probably be used
as means to raise the balance. w.
A. Streater, chairman of the Armory
seating committee, was authorized
to appoint the necessary sub com =
mittees that will be required for the
seat sale campaign.

handicap. the week produced splen-
