THE BRUNSWICK DAILY NEWS, VOLUME 3, NUMBER 63. CIVIC LEAGUE TO CONTINUE WORK —— The Ladies Met Yesterday and Organized for the Winter GOOD V/ORK CONTEMPLATED All the Squares, Parks and Streets cf the City to be Beautified, But Ladies Say They Must Have Co-operation of City. The civic league held an important and interesting meeting yesterday in the rooms of the Men’s club on Eg- street. These rooms have been kindly put at the dispo.al ot the lea gue and the members appreciated fully the comfortable and eunvniont quar ters for a meet’ ig place. One of the first matters disposed ol '•vas the selection of a day for the reg ular monthly meetings of teh league and it was decided to name the last Thursday afternootn of each month as the time. Reports were heard from various committees among them the one appointed to work on Hanover park. This committee, with Mrs. G. O. Wilder as chairman, has made splendid progress and already has ac complished good results In the park. Some new benches have been bought. Several prominent ladies have agreed to take in hand the planting and im proving of the different sections of the park, Mrs. T. F. Smith having un dertaken to mound around the mon ument, Mrs. J. F. Lasserrc one of the mounds, and other ladias in other sec tions. One notable and salutary reform brought about by these energetic ladies is the removal of the waste pa pers that have Heretofore rendered thfciiXlusr j *u unsightly. This tea t.:.s alone is a great improvement and might weP he initiated in other squares. Bulbs have been set out and other preparations made which, "will show far themselves in the spring. Jekyl place has also been improved and put in proper shape for the win ter. A quantity of bulbs have been planted there also and the ladles will have this .spot even prettier next spring and summer than It was the past one, when it attractted so much attention and favorable comment. The ladies will begin work upon Market square, opposite the city hall, as scon as the city gives the prop er cooperation and puts this square in proper condition. The league has been greatly handicapped by a lack of co-operation on the part of the city. The lack of funds for necessary hauling and labor has retarded the work, and if this could be regularly and cheerfully furnished the league by the city aut'nrities as it .should be and as it is done foT such organ izations in other cities, the work could go on without delay. As it is the few energetic wafikers in the league are obliged to lose valuable time because of this lack of support and assistance. The eastern half of Jekyl place, in front of the present quarters of the library, is also waiting for some much needed work, which could be done by the citv force. In justice to the lea gue, which hats been criticised for the apparent apathy that has overtaken it, this explanation, has been made to the public. The delay, it will lit seen, is not toi be laid at the door of the league, but to the lack of friends and proper cooperation on the part oi the city. A number of new members have re cently been enrolled and the leagt. is bravely starting out with new nu and with, the new year much gou. work will be accomplished. Let tho city and the public genei ally encourage and assist the inst. tuion, which is laboring solely for the beautifying and upbuilding of our town. AMERICA SENDS XMAS CHEER.
