Daughters of American Revolution Start Fund.

At the last meeting of the Daughters of the American Revolution it was proposed and adapted that steps be taken to provide a bandstand in Rensselaer and the Daughters voted to start a fund by appropriating SSO for the purpose. They are unable at this time to vote any more from their treasury but desire the co-op-eration of any societies or lodges in the city and also of the band. Investigation was made of the probable cost and it was found that the bandstand at St. Joseph’s college coat about S7OO. The D. A. R. will not meet again until September and consequently the plan can not arrive at a building stage before next spring, but it is the desire of the Daughters to istitute the plan for raising the funds and members may be consulted by any who feel interested in giving it add. At is no<w is the band is at a great inconvenience and this could be obviated by having a comfortable bandstand. The D. A. R. is to be commended for this and other enterprising things, notably the prize awards for domestic science, manual training and literary work an the high school.
