meeting of the United Kafft Bide Push
clubs. Mr. Montague talked for an hour
and the members of the club took up an
other 45 minutes in discussing the vari
ous phases of the charter and in ask ins-
questions.

night, however, was when a committee
Of live, made up of H. H. Newhall, Dr.

their power to have the city purchase

this action.
