The following paper on “Problems in
City Government." writted by Mrs. J.
Milton Colburn. was readst the. meeting
of the Friday Afternoon club, December
20. and re-read at the club‘s visitors‘
day meeting on January ”Because of the
importance of the subject. and the force-
ful language in which it was presented
by Mrs. Colburn.‘it was though the pa-
per should be given greater publicity
through the medium of The Sentinel.
It should be said, also, that at the recent
meeting of the executive committee of
the Public Improvement society, Miss
Scott was appointed a committee to se-
cure this and other papers for pub-
lication, but she learned the
following day that they were al-
ready in the hands of the elitor of Tir-
Sentinel for that purpose. Mrs. Col-

The testimony was to a great extent rel-
' utive to the value of millincry and other
fancy goods. As the witnesses are
mostly women, they are qualified to
state as to the price such goods 3 heral-
ly bring. b .1t men often think these
prices are exorbitant, and yvoiider how
it is that such seeming insignificant and
trifling articles call for such a large por.
tion of their income. The case is enliv
