A. Bradley, chairman, this morning. Mr. Bradley said that about S800 had already been raised through contributions at two football games Friday and Saturday anj the dime boarfl which was operated n Saturday by the Lions Club. "We got about $360 on the dime board Saturday; about $100 at the open house program of the new band building last Thursday night, and almost $400 at the two games." "The need for 30 additional unl forms, together with several instru ments is urgent," the chairman said. "Now that we have a modern band building, it is important that we add these other things. "This is the first drive for funds for the band in several years, and it will be three or four more years before we will have another. We feel that once every four years is not asking too much when one con siders how much the band contri butes to the life of the community," Mr. Bradley continued.

Mayor J. H. Way told the group that his idea was to have a resolu tion passed calling for a vote on $250,000 in water bonds at the same time. He explained that the 45-year-old filler plant was now processing four times as much wa ter as it should, and a new plant, together with new mains from the intake were essential.
