2450 - L Dec. 30:4/3 - The enrolled men of the sixth ward met on Dec. 28
and organized a "Sixth Ward Self-Protection Club." W. P. Fogg was elected
president; John Huntington, vice president; George A. Kolbe, secretary,
and G. W. Calkins, treasurer.
The object of this club is to protect such of its members as may be
drafted, but not to clear the ward nor to relieve from the draft those
who will give neither time nor money for that purpose. (4)
