THE COMMUNITY CLUB MEETS
Whenever W. H. Anderson brags
about “empty jails” we can't help
thinking of the thousands of bootleg
gers who ought to be filling them, or
for the matter of that, their hundreds
of thousands of customers.
GOOD WORK
The Commissioners and Board of
Review recinded their action of the
first Tuesday in April, 1921, leaving
values as they stood in 1920 on real
estate inside and outside of towns.
And the time for filing specific com
plaints of over or under valuation
was extended to June the 30th, 1921,
so persons having such complaints
will have to file them by that time
or they will after be bared.
A very interesting meeting was
held by the Community Club at the
Hotel Vass, last Friday evening, June
3rd. The social committee composed
of Mrs., S. R. Smith, Mrs. G. W.
Brooks, Mrs. L. J. Bliss and Miss
Myrtle Leslie had charge of the meet
ing.
The attendance was large and en
couraging. The subject of “More
Recreation for the People of Vass”
was discussed, and it was decided
that the first step would be to organ
ize a tennis club and fix a court. It
was also suggested that a sewing
circle for the young girls be organ
ized, and plans are under way for a
series of plays to be given by the
members of the Community Club.
After the busines had been at
tended to a pleasant social hour was
spent. Much amusement was furn
ished by the “Artist's Contest.”
Refreshments of ice cream and
cake were served by the Social Com
mittee.
