The Woodburn Citizens’ Association held its regular semi-monthly meeting at Kelly's store last evening, with Dr. Walker in the chair. In the absence of the secretary, Mr. John ‘Meiklejohn served in that capacit After minutes of previous meeting were read and approved, the committee on patrol box reported that the wires were up, and that a call box would probably be put up in a few days. The school committee reported, through Dr. Waiker, that there was no money at present for the establishment of a night school, and very little hopes for getting one for a year at least. Mr. Geo. Fcnk reported that a ladder would be put up at the school house soon, and Dr. Walker said he had seen Commissioner Ross, who said there was no money for the purchase of a bell for the Woodburn school, but he was very favorably impressed w the necessity for a night :chvol at Woodburn and also for the purchase of a bell for the school house, and the chances were favor- able for the accomplishment of both ob- jects at an early date. It was afnounc=d that the sum of 5% was turned over to Miss King by the Woodburn Pleasure Club for the purchase of a piano for the school. The above amount repre- sents the net procee 1s of the entertainment recently given by the club at Brightwood Hall. After considerable discussion on the sub- ject of the unnecessary and unjust taxation of county people for the benefit of the city, the meeting adjourned. There were present Messrs. George Murphy, B.

All of these had been elected to membership in the as- m= sociation. He called attention to the grow- ing need of a revised edition of the His- torical Catalogue.
