In other worda, we want to use the

wheri it became evident that to faeild

moretnoney than th small sum socur

question of th advisability of seeking
to float a bond Issue was raised.
No attempt definitely to authorise
such s move was made by the federa
tion Itself, but statements mad by
u majority of the delegates in attend
ant indicated ' that they thought a
bond lesue conld be put over. Finally
a motion was made which authorised
each towns organlratlon, to take up
th matter of the advisability of
launching such a move. 1 The next
meeting of the federation will be held
Yor the purpose of hearing report
from- every community in the county
