and the support of an old rope.

An estimate of the cost of re-
pairs was given as $40. The club
voted to pay half of the cost of re-
pairs and will seek the coopera-
ton of another organization. Mrs.

the Governors proclamation rel
alive to the amendment to appear
on the ballots in November. The
amendment, if carried, will allow
