other things Mr Carter said that the

of dredging the mouth of Columbia

crafts and for which a com m ittee he
said had been appointed. He said
that the Beaver Mill company had
started a saw mill on Columbia

come when there is access to the
slough. He said that the club will
promote improvements of all kinds
in the lower Peninsula und encourage
social intercourse. President Carter
asked the co-operation of all resi
