RENSSELAER TO HAVE BAND THIS SUMMER.

A movement has been started for the re-organization of the Rensselaer -band and—it is to be hoped that we can be represented by the same high class musical organization as before the war which took so many of the members away. A petition is being circulated and is being liberally signed, asking that the city council appropriate so much to defray the current expenses of such an organization, and the petition will be presented to the council at its next meeting. Heretofore the council has never failed to subscribe for the band and it is certain that they will gladly do so again. Many of the former band members are again here and with the new timber which can be developed, it is felt that the quality of the music will be just as good as in previous years. A band leader can be secured and practice can be held each vtoglc, A good band is a distinct boost to any town and helps to keep it in the limelight, and it is to be hoped that no time will be lost in organizing one.
