This was a special meeting called to
consider the name of Bruce Kelley for
membership. After a very stormy
session it was decided to lay his name
on the "bench." Harry Duncan's name
was taken from the "bench" and voted
upon favorably. He was assigned to
vagrancy duty. A communication was
read from j. L. Wilkins saying that
he would gladly comply with the
Squad's wishes in dusting the bus

The Squad will write a letter to the
