The League has been an ‘impor' tant factorin bringing new: about the latest municipal developmehts to those who need it most; III the words of an active worker in New York. " lt‘is simply great to have an organization to which one can go for the latest facts and be sure of getting them at once. or iearning just where they can be had' In the shortest possible time."_ Such service. however, can be ren- dered only through Ihat co-operao‘ lion which the League ganizcd and represents. x The National Municipal League has gone asten further by bring-5 ing national as well as local or- ganizations into mutuallv helpful relations. 'For three years now the League held ' its annual ses.“ sions 'in conjunction with the! Amerimn Civic Association. 'As3 a leading western paper editorial ly said; “The very successful joint convention of the American Civic Association-{the National Muni- cipal League and the National Conference for Good City Gov- ernment. at Providence, Rhode Island. is evidence that the get- together spirit is growing among the civic improvement workers. Mutual understanding and trust have got to take» .the place of the mutual misunderstanding and disâ€" ltrust that exist between the diff- jerent classes of society 'beiore Esuch organizations as this can con- 'Sider their work completed. As one of the speakers expressed it. "The American Civic Association seeks to promote chiefly the out- ward beauty of cities and towns; the National thicipal League seeks to make better cities; both seek to malre goodness concrete. They can therefore well afford to work in harmony. The meetings were more largely attended than at‘any preeeding convention." Enrrons Nonâ€"We have on several occcasions called attention to the great work ' being done in this country by the National Municipal League to bring about a better condition of 'Municipal' Administration. We feel sure that there are quite a number of citizens in Highland Park who ‘wogld much enjoy and get much profit from attending the next annual meeting to be held No- vember 14-18, in Buffalo. N. Y.
