The Woman's Civic Improve
ment Club gave an entertain
ment at I. 0. O. F. Hall Friday
evening. A luncheon was served,
a musical program was rend
ered and a general good time
was had. About 150 persons

were $52, which will used for
the benefit of the Club.
A citizen's meeting waa held
Saturday to vote a school and
road tax. After much discus
sion a school tax of seven mills
was voted and a road tax of
three and one-half mills. One
mill of this amount will be used
in opening up the Fall street
and the most of the balance will
he used to build (he Cape street
road to Agate Heacb. This is a
very expensive piece of road to
build and it will take $C000 to
?000 to build it. As taxes are
already too high it would have
been much better to have let this
part of the road rest until times
get better and use the beach.
The beach from Monterey to
Agate Beach is most always
clear.
The wet and dry fight was the
most hotly contested cn elec
tion day. The day was fine and

also got three dry ladies to make
the same mistake. He has not
lilept any since.
