The proposal was looked upon with |favor by the meeting, and President J. Thomas Manning, who presided, announced that he would appoint a committee of citizens that he be- lieved would be most vitally inter- ested for the purpose of taking up the question of organization, and that the project would receive the moral support of the association at all times.
