He hasn't as yet been over the entire town but will finish shortly, when he will send in the name* of those entitled to the prizes ofwed by the league. The president reported having talked with the Mayor regarding the disposal of garbage and he has promised to look into the matter apd see what it wiil cost to build two vats, one at each end of the town, into which garbage can be burned, as it is impossible to invest in an incinerator at. present.
