He asked City Attorney Daly to explain to the members of the City Council present the reasons and purposes of such action in order that it would be plain to all. City Attorney Daly outlined briefly the difficulty confronting the Girl Scout Council in their endeavors to obtain a suitable meeting place for the various Troops, and stated that Senator J. L. Keeler was present in the Council Rooms to outline and explain the steps which must be taken in order to obtain said State funds that could be made available.

Senator Keeler thereupon complemented the ladies upon their efforts and achievement and stated that he could readily see that this movement carried the wholehearted support of the community, and continued to explain very clearly the origin of the State funds des- ired; the purposes for which they might be used, and the process necessary to make them available. He stated that the first requisite must necessarily be the presentation of a claim by a municipal corporation rather than a private or semi-public group.
