A very small number was present, only eight responding to tho roll call, but these few were deeply in terested in the work on hand and (luring tho hour some important measures for the betterment of the town were brought up, discussed, and disposed of in a satisfactory manner. Thc first report of the afternoon was that of the treasurer, Mrs. ll L McColl, in regard to tho work that is being done by the League on the Murchison school grounds. She stated thal '230 plants had been bought and set in the vacant pla ces in the-hedge. Mrs. Townsend also reported that twelve nico trees had recently been set out on the grounds. Thc treasurer stated that during the past month $15.83 had been spent in improving and beautifying thc school grounds, showing thc deep interest of the Civic League in this lovely square with so many possibilities for beautiful development. A kind of fer from Mrs. Matheson to fur nish the League with canna bulbs, to be planted on thc grounds, wai gratefully accepted, and a commit tee was appointed to attend t< planting the bulbs. Thc next matter discussed was one that has been before the Lea gue many times and is thc one tba lies nearest the hearts of the mern hers of the League. "How to ge thc streets clean and how to kee] them so," apparently almost ai impossible thing. lt was reported that the. matte of procuring regular refuse rece fi tades for tho streets had bec thoroughly investigated and it wa found that a neat, strong wir basket with a good cover and a attachment for fastening it to telephone pole could be procure at a cost of sixty cents each. Al ter full discussion it was decide to purchase at once twenty haskel as an experiment. If they prove success on the streets as a tras receptacle, thc League will Ol clea vor to place one at every poi sible needed place. A commit ti was then appointed to request tl mayor to insist upon thc strii enforcement of the ordinance i regard to paper, trash, etc., boin thrown upon the streets, and 1 also request him to provide, ft the removal of the Collection < trash from thc street baskets aft? they shall have been placed. The street committee reporte that thc petition to the town eon: eil in regard to changing the naur of two of the streets had bet submitted, but as yet nothing hi been heard from thc council. Tl committee in same petition mat the urgent request that the com eil instruct the proper ones have the pavements in front stores swept clean on Satur di nights in order that the stree may be neat and attractive to tl Sunday passers-by. This com m i tee was continued with instru tions to again urge the matter u on thc council. Il is a matter great regret and disappoint me to the few earnest members of tl Civic League that thc name every woman of the town is not < its "active list" and that of evei man on its "sustaining list." Tl work that the League is doing one that is greatly needed for tl health and beauty of our grow ii little town and it should appeal the. heart of every one who ca the town home. Any one won be welcome as a member and it hoped that many new names rhi be enrolled af tin1 next meetii which will be held on the four Tuesday afternoon of March thc home ol Mrs. C 1?
