CIVIC MUSIC assn.
PLANS CONSIDERED
Temporary Organization Formed
at Meeting Today

representative from virtually all
the civic clubs and women's organ
izations met at the Burrtt hotel at
noon today to hear OF method to
be followed in the formation OF d
Civic Music association in New Brit
ain. George f., Brown of New York
was the speaker.
At the close of the meeting Their
on w. Hart was named temporary
chairman and Ralph II. Benson, sec
rotary OF the Chamber of Commerce.
as temporary secretary for the i'm
mediate future.
The club representatives will re-
port to their organizations and ar
range a week when Mr. Brown or
some other New York speaker can
appear before them and detail the
method Of forming a Civic Music as
ISOLATION, which would consist OF
committees from all the clubs, be
operated by them, have fun charge
of membership funds and have full
powers TO engage musical attrac-
lions for the city
The plan under construction Is to
provide five concerts each season al
membership cost far below the
rates charged for the same type OF
artists when operated through pri-
waite managers. There would be no
possibility OF a deficit aud no pos
sibility of mourning financial obli-
cations by any person or club. Only
members Of the association would
have access to the concerts.
1t is believed that in this city at
cities, large and small, and has
haps many more, can be procured,
which would provide five concerts
Of the highest artistic type for mom-
bcrs each year.
The civic music association meth
Cd is in operation in more than 100
cities, uarg" AMI small, and has
been successful cveryw here: each
year additional cities are forming
such associations.
1t was emphasized emphatically
by ths New Yorker that the associa-
ton in each instance is strictly

ures
Unless President Coolidge calls az
extra session Of congress and the
public buildings bill is passed then
the appropriations for beginning the
post office construction program
cannot be made by congress until
next winter. The usual procedure
then would be to make these appro-
priations available during the fiscal
year beginning July l, 1925 but Il
would be possible to make them
available Immediately after passage
