kno~ledgment was received, and il was not until this year that the N. F. w.. post decided to take the mat ter up with the city council. 4 communication was accordingly mailed to the mayor and council who in turn placed it in the hands of the miscellaneous committee which reported back that they be- lieved them ater should be left en- tirely in the hands Of Seicheprey post. The result was that the mem- bers of Harold r. Emmett post are still barred from the rooms.
 Postmaster Frank $. Merrill member of the American Legion, stated that at the time Harold F. Emmett post was formed about 50 per cent of the members of Seiche- prey post left the latter orga niza- tion and affiliated themselves with the former post. Their action nat urally resulted in their being refused admittance 10 the rooms. He also stated that If any member of the Y. +. W. fin good standing could join the American Legion and by SO do- ing would be assured of all the privileges now enjoyed by members Of seicheprey post.
 After considerable discussion the council decided 10 let the mat ter remain In the hands of the mis- cellaneous committee. which means that the request for equal rights submitted by the V. r. W. will be ignored.
 Many feel that the situation Is one which should have been set tied by the city council. Committees of the two posts will never arrive at an amicable solution of the problem. and in view Of the amount expend- ed by the city at the time the rooms were opened. some interest in the situation should be displayed by the city fathers. it is claimed. 4 num- ber Of citizens have expressed tho view that one veterans rights should be equal to the next one's and that no discrimination In the matter of cluhroom privileges should be shown.

The spot he called attention to is located on the property of J. NJ. White and during every heavy show CT, the brook overfows it's banks and water flows into the cellar Of his home.
