The annual meeting of the city im provement society was held on Thurs day morning at the Union-Commercial club parlors. After the reading of the minutes and a brief report from the treasurer, the officers were unanimously elected. President, Mrs. G. W. L.Tay lor; vic9 president, Mrs. M. D. Welch; secretary, Mrs. Nellie M. Richardson; treasurer, Mrs. W. D. FitzGerald; audi tor. Mrs. Winnett. Plans for increas ing thn efficiency of the society were dis cussed at length. A larger member ship is required and a prompter pay ment of dues. The annual fee of twen-ty-tive cents was paid last year by only a small proportion of the enrolled mem bers, for the reason that no direct effort was made to collect it. The burden of the society's work fell upon the secre tary in the drawing up of ordinances and resolutions and seeing that tbey reached the attention of the councilmen, besides the usual work of the office. The ladies feel that they should be able to offer compensation for any labor requiring a legal or technical knowledge. Probably if the society is to grow a paid secretary will soon be needed. When the city im . prvement society was organized a few years since it was an adjunct to the wo man's club. Later it was made inde pendent and now the club women seem to have forgotten their sponsorship. A committee was appointed to present the needs of the society to the attention of every literary club in the city and en deavor to obtain the interest and sup port of the members.
