An Interesting and Profitable Meeting Held
Last Tuesday Afternoon.
SEVERAL NEW MEMBERS TAKEN IN.
Several Good Suggestions Offered for the Improving and Beautifying
of Hereford—Date of the Regular Monthly Meeting Changed
to the Second Tuesday of Each Month at 8 P. M.
Tuesday, April 9, was the date
of the regular meeting of the Here-
ford Sanitary and Improvement So-
ciety, but on occount of the session
of district court the meeting was
postponed until April 16th, when a
representative gathering of the
members of the society assembled
at the court house to transact busi-
ness and discuss various proposi-
tions for the improvement of the
town.
The meeting was called to order
by President L. Gough and Secre-
tary Fuller read the minutes of the
last meeting.
Several new members were en-
rolled, thus making a total member-
ship of 40.
The meeting of April 9th was
also the annual meeting at which
officers were to be elected, but on
account of its not being held on that
day it was suggested that to elect
officers at another meeting would be
unconstitutional, and as all of the
present encumbents were faithful
and hard-working officers there was
no objection to their holding over.
It is doubtful if any but the present
officers would have been elected if
an election had been held.
A resolution which was laid over
at the last meeting was read and
voted on, being carried unanimously.
It was an amendment to the consti-
tution changing the date and time of
the monthly meeting from Tuesday
afternoon at 3 o'clock to the sec-
ond Monday evening of each month
at 8 o'clock. This was thought to
be advisable on account of the in-
ability of a number of our business
men to be present at the meetings
in the afternoon, who would be pres-
ent if the meetings were held out of
business hours.
Dr. Johnson suggested that a
committee be appointed from the
members of the society to call upon
every owner of property on Dewey
avenue (our business thoroughfare)
and request that they plant two or
more trees in front of their property
and box them up so as to keep the cat-
tle from "pulling them up. Judge
60yd offered as an amendment to
the doctor's suggestion that the
resident property owners be re-
quested to do likewise. A motion
to that effect was carried.
Dr. Johnson also suggested that
the executive committee request an
audience at the next regular meeting
of the commissioners' court and ask
that body to have trees planted on
the court house grounds and have a
well sunk. This was also deemed
a good suggestion by the society as
a motion made to that effect was
carried without a dissenting vote.
A. J. Lipscomb said that he had
some trees left over after making
his "forest" on his residence lot
just east of the court house, which
he would donate to the society, pro-
viding the society would plant them
in the park. His offer was ac-
cepted.
President Gough appointed
Messrs. Bounds, Vanderburgh and
WithersjJoon as a committee to pro-
vide the society with some kind of
an entertainment program at its
next regular meeting Monday even
ing, May 13, at 8 p. m.
The committee appointed at the
previous meeting to solicit funds and
members for the society were reap-
pointed.
The executive committee is re-
quested to meet at the residence of
Dr. R. M. Johnson next Monday
evening at 8 o'clock for the pur-

pose of transacting some important
business.
President Gough stated that more
wire was needed for the fence
around the park, as the present one
was not strong enough to turn cat-
tle. Also that a gate and other
improvements on the park were in
order. It is expected that these
improvements will be provided for
at the meeting of the executive com-
mittee next Monday night.
There being no further business
to be transacted, the meeting was
adjourned until its next regular
session, Monday evening, May 13,
at 8 o'clock, at the court house,
when everyone is cordially invited
to be present and assist in up-build-
ing and beautifying the banner
town of the plains.
