AMERICAN
LEGION
TONIGHT
MEETING
CEMENT COAT ADVISED
Special Trip Made Here by Adjutant
General to Investigate into
Conditions
A few buainesa men and national
guardsmen got together in a meeting
Wednesday evening at the office of
J. E. Shearer and discussed the
weather protection needed at tha
state armory in this city.
When the armory was first planned
last year a sum of $20,000 was ap
propriated by the state, which was
matched by a like sum furnished
equally by the city and county. It
was known at the time that the $40,-
000 available would not quite com
plete the building wanted but it was
thought that it would be best to get
that much done and finish the work
some other time. The architect fail
ed to take into consideration the driv
ing southwest rains which prevail in
this section during the winters, and
after the building was in use it was
found that the outside plastering to
the building, which had been left un-
done, would be necessary to prevent
the ruining of the interior of tha
building.
There are still a few dollars left
in the building fund but not enough
to do the necessary work. It was
found that it would require $2700 to
provide the necessary protection, and
state authorities have stated that
they are willing to provide half of
this amount out of state funds; the
other half to be made up equally by
the county and city. These funds
will come under the head of necessary
extension and protection.
The committee agreed with the
state’s plan and expressed the con
viction that the funds could be raised
without difficulty. Carl Haberlach,
who was present, stated that he
thought the creamery association
would be willing to donate a substan
tial sum for the work.
Those present at the meeting were
C. J. Edwards, C. I. Clough, H. H.
Rosenberg, Brigadier General George
A. White, and Captains J. E. Shearer
and Leslie Harrison.
General White made a special trip
her» for the meeting and brought
with him Captain Ralph Cowgill, of
Medford, who has just returned ftom
Camp Perry, Ohio, with the victorious
Oregon rifle team.
Tillamook post of the American I*e-
gion will hold their meeting for Oct
ober at the Legion room in the arm
ory this evening.
