our and left town.

The question of Liquor and gambling has had careful
attention with the help of a detective during the year.
The facts seemed to disclose some abuse of Liquor sel-
ling in one of the drug stores but all other rumors
of liquor [?] fell to the ground.

It was found that gambling was carried on in one
of the cigar stores, but the season was at an End &
it seemed unlikely that prosection could be effected
before the new season sets in, so the matter was passed
over for the present. The reports of the detective are
on file and his services to be utilized again to
carry the matter further.

The general results of his report were very satisfac-
tory as showing a clean moral audition.

The business concessions made last year proved
helpful & were hailed with satisfaction by the people.

I recommend the concessions asked by Messrs
Williamson & [W??ston].

The following is the report of the Secretary which was
adopted & ordered [???ead] on the [???al].

The Report of the Superintendent [shows] the
past to have been a year of progress.

The regular & orderly working of the Grove has not
made [any] meetings of Executive Com-
mittee necessary.
