The Delphi city council - Tuesday night adopted a resolution paying $5 weekly for twenty weeks for band concerts. The money is to be paid to the leader, John Lathrope, the well known bandmaster. T<he departure is rather odd but possibly not a bad way of encouraging the concerts which are enjoyed by many who never contribute a cent toward the support of the band. By coming out of the city treasury, however, all taxpayers help defray the expense. Monticello is having some band troubles this year. Some members of the juvenile band have outgrown the name of juvenile, they think, and also the leadership of Prof. Tripodi, and have joined the old band and engaged a qew leader, claiming half the money pledge formerly given the ■'boys’ band. What will become of the trouble it is difficult to say but probably the boys will secure some recruits and both organizations will continue, provided enough money can be secured to support both.
