A letter was read from tfie popular
and efficient president, Mrs. E. C.
Richie tendering her resignation. This
fell lifce a "boom shell in the camp",
and was received not only with regret
but with consternation. Mrs. Richie ib
expected' home this week and the
league decided not to accept her res
ignation but to let it stand until the
next meeting and try to prevail upon
Mrs. Richie to keep it afe the league
felt that it would be nothing short of
a qat^Aiity to have her resign.
Miss Willie Belle Mackey felt tl^at
she could no longer keep the manage
ment of the play-ground and Miss
Ernestine Bateman vwas .elected to
that positipn,
The League decided to turn the
Rest room ove* to the/Merchants' As
sociation. The league had no funds
4o carry it on, and "inasmuch as it is
a business man's proposition they
considered this the proper thing to do.
It was understood that a Merchants'
'Association was formed last summer
and while the league regretted to give
up a work it hud carried on for yearn
it also felt that tfce merchant* were
the proper onea to handle it.
The league realizes that the time
for planting trees and otherwise im
proving tho parka and streets is upon
us, and it u hoped that the next meet
ing will bo full and enthusiastic and
that Mi'tf Hie hie will decide to remain
as president.
