Metz Bandstand and Public Well

 

THE TOWN BOARD

A Band Stand to Be Erected Over the Public Well.

   The board of town trustees held a regular meeting Tuesday night. All of the members were present and Mayor G. P. Wolfe presided.
   The following committees were appointed:
   Sidewalks--W. G. Morrison and Harry Reed.
   Streets and Alleys--Rawley Ramsey.

   C. O. Wilson was appointed to see that the street lamp is put up in good shape over the band stand to be erected at the public well. Mr. Wilson will also look after the building of the band stand, and work of it will begin in a few days. This ornament to our city will be paid for by our citizens, the sum of $60 having been subscribed. It will cost when completed about $100.

Tigers vs. Business Men.
   The Metz Tigers will play base ball with the Metz business men next Wednesday at 2:30 p. m and it promises to be a warm game. The game will be played on the ground east of the school house. The nines will be pretty evenly lined up and the game will no doubt be interesting. An admission fee of 10 cents will be charged and the proceeds used in building the band stand to be erected over the public well. Ladies free. Everybody turn out and help swell the band stand fund. It is also proposed to give a drama in a few weeks for the benefit of the band stand.
