before the meeting. It was ad
dressed to J. 1). Weston, chairman
of the executive committee of Old
Home Week lelebrntion:
"Mr. Chnlrman: I have under
stood from you that it may be
deemed necessary to aslc the town
council for some concessions by
way of suspending temporarily cer
tain borough ordinances which may
come in conflict with carrying out
to tlio best advantage some portions
of your excellent programme. I J
nm sure I can speak for every
member of the council when 1 say
that everything which may bo legal
ly and properly done by tho town
council to advance 'the hi t Inter-
osts of Old Home Week will be,
cheerfully and promptly done by ,
us.
"Borough ordinances are enacted j
for the ordinary government of our.
borons;!! and I see no reason whyj
extraordinary occasions like the j
prcf.i'iit one may not be made an
excentior.. and any ordinance hiih
may In fir fere in any way with carry-i
Inr out in every detail the et-r-,
iuus and programme ought to be;
and will be suspended for this oc-1
- asinn. The town council desires ,
further to my that as a bodv it i-
as well us every individual member
thereof, in full symnatliv and ac
cord with Old Homo Week, and will
he pleaded to assist in any vvay
consistent with its ouTciiil duties in,
making the occasion what It now j
appears it must be, one which will'
add to tho town's reputation for
hospitality, generosity cud socio-i
blllty.
"As far as tiie regulations for'
pence and order are concerned. I j
believe nothing has thus far been
left undone and we are ready to j
give every assurance mat tue town
will be paroled that no fear of the j
sightest disorder may be uutici- 1
pated. The town itself being con-1
corned principally in tho event of
a successful Old Home Week it
would only seem proper
town council should do
that tho
everything
to pro
efforts be-
consistent with its duty
mote nnd encourage the
ing made by tho citizens'
commit
a model
toe to make the occasion
which other towns will copy.
This is tho duty which seems to
devolve upon us, nnd which we
cheerfully accept. Tho location.
the beautiful scenery and surround
ings of our town; its historical and
romantic, associations need only to
be better known to be better ap
preciated, and it is hoped that upon
the return of those of our people
who have been nbsent for many
years they will find that at least the
hospitality of tho people and of
their ability to do things In the
proper way, have not In nny way
depreciated in the years that have
Intervened.
"Tho council will be always ready
to receive suggestions and com
munications from you regarding
your further wants in the matter,
with every nssurance of receiving
tho fullest and most favorable con
sideration. "With kindest regards and best
wishes, I remain
"Very truly yours,
"Charles A. McCarthy,
"President Town Council."
Upon the conclusion of tho let
ter It wns received with loud ap
plause by tho members of the com
mittees and others in nttendnnce.
A number of decorated coaches
nnd vehicles will be a feature in the
