RECOMMENDS CIVIC
music ASSOCIATION
New Britain Musicians Put
Proposition Up to c. Of G.

A suggestion that a civic music
association be formed in this city to
consist of representatives of the New
Britain Musical club, the Chamber
of Commerce and the civic clubs,
was recommended to the directors
of the Chamber OF Commerce today
by committee from the Musical
club.
According to the proposition sub
mitted to the Chamber Of Commerce
the association would be operated
and conducted by the civic organiza-
tons and would be under their en-
tire control. including the finances.
Through memberships subscribed for
by the general public at a nominal
cost the presentation Of an annual
course of the highest type of con-
certs would be assured. Such asso-
Citations are in operation in many
cities, it was pointed out, and make
1t possible to achieve remarkable re-
suits. The underlying idea is to
keep New Britain on the musical
map and stimulate concert going.
The committee consisted OF Theron
w. Hart, George Hahn, Leland
Pierce and j. S. Kennedy.
The directors voted to appoint a
representative to serve on a general
committee with representatives of
other civic clubs to ascertain what
the plans of the musical club are and
to report back to the directors.
Judge w. c. Hungerford, president
of the chamber, probably will rep
resent that organization.
The selection of delegates to the
United States Chamber of Commerce
in Washington in May was left to
Judge Hungerford.
The chamber will have 4 repre-
sentative at the hearing before the
legislative judiciary committee on
commercial arbitration tomorrow.
