At that time, 128 donors had made their contributions to the clean-up pro ject for a total of $970.25. According to Dorris, “It will take at least $3000 to do a good pruning and trimming job. . . I want to call attention to the May 15 deadline once more and to re mind everyone that we must get this money in and the actual work started by that time if we are go ing to make any showing for Me morial day.” Masonic Clean-t'p It has also been suggested that the old Masonic cemetery south of Eugene as well as the Odd Fel lows cemetery adjoining the cam pus should be cleaned' up for Me morial day. There has been no limit set on the amount of money to be collected. Excess funds will be transferred to start the permanent endowment project administered by the Century Fund trustees. “. . . I have suggested to City Manager Deane Seeger that he should start organizing his labor crews and get some of the work under way with the cash on hand. I have no fear that we will not get the required balance,” Dorris said.
