 City and County Affairs-Legislative
 This division has had no particular head unless it be efficiency in govern ment, as the new legislative chairman, Mrs. II. II. Shell, was only appointed a few days ago. However, real service to the community has been rendered by the league through the stand taken by it on various city and county matters of public policy. Resolutions have been passed as follows:
 Q) Calling mass meeting for fair discussion of the school and library bond issues, which was largely instrumental in securing the submission of the library bonds to the electorate at the same time as the school bonds-the May election.
 (2) Thanking the board of revenue for its action on eliminating commer- cial advertising from the county high ways.
 (3) Joining with the Junior Chamber of Commerce in asking the governor to request from the supreme court ruling on the constitutiOnality of the Brewer act, under which act it is proposed by the advocates of the mayor-aldermanic rlan of city government to call an cleo tion.
 (4) Deploring the shortages at the city hall, opposing any return to the mayor -aldermanic plan, and urging the adoption of the modern councilmanager plan as democratic and efficient.
 (5) Indorsing the building of the li- brary in Wilson park.
 (G) Appointing a special committee to investigate the city convention bu- reau and the city music department, which resulted in a further investiga- tion of the management of the audi torium and a condemnation of the city's entering the field of promoting musical attractions for revenue at the audi tOrium.
 CD Indorsing the Ramsay civic cen ter, plan, but urging that the library be built in the park unless the civic center can be speedily arranged for.
 (S) Indorsing rural school and Hill man hospital bond issues.
