The purpose qf the meeting was to cancel a $14,750 contract for replacing damaged sections of the present wall around the eastern part of Roosevelt Boule- vard.

Some time ago we gave the band $100 to make a trip to the Orange Bowl at Miami. The band did not go and turned -the money back to the commission. “It is my plan to ask the com- mission at its next meeting to give the band $100 or more so they can make the trip. The band certainly deserves a trip of that sort, for the band is always on call when anything of import- ance comes up in the city. OPENING TONIGHT In Our Beautiful RAINBOW ROOM MR.
