that way than you will get by growing. think
II Is time for us to be thinking of holding q
grand celebration over what We have already
gained and also over what more We expect. We
had better lend helping hand than to always
appear in The spirit Of pessimists.
some men are never satisfied The sun
does not shine right for them. and they are never
at ease unless they are complaining"
Mr. 1. G.. Keene said he would second what
Mr.. Ramey had said as expressing the senti-
ments o. the association He had timed the
cars and they had passed between Brightwood
and Florida avenue in from sixteen to eighteen
minutes. and he thought that much better than
the old horse car service, when il took SO much
longer.
Mr. Arthur Keene was OF the same opinion,
and he advised that re throw up our hands,
celebrate with brass band and have great
joilificsSion meeting"
Mr.. Fields thought it about time for the as
ISOLATION to thank itself and stop thanking the
railroad company.
Capt. Lay again arose and said few words
in opposition TO so much complaining and Pres
ident Galley suggested that owing TO the diver
sity of opinion and thought Mr.. Ramey's reso-
luton might be withdrawn and the association
sing the doxology. Mr.. Keene offered motion
as substitute for that offered by Gr. Ramey,
to the effect that the association give grand
celebration in honor of the improvements, and
the motion was adopted.
The committee on light was directed to call
on the Commissioners at an early date and re-
quest them 10 have gas lamps erected as soon
the gas mains are laid.
RAILROAD STATIONS.
Mr.. Keene called attention to the charter OF
the company requiring the railroad company
to erect passenger stations. and he thought that
the association might request the erection OF
such stations. He suggested that such build
iHgs nigh, be erected at Florida avenue, Bright
I'll "A Tai
Park.
Mr.. Cook thought that there should be q time
schedule printed. and Pres!den: Galley read
from the charter clause recurring tine com.
panv to submit a schedule to the Commission
ers for their approval the charter. he said
IA I'm. until midnight and also that they run moi
more than fifteen minutes apart.
OTHER IMPROVEMENTS TALKED OF.
Mr.. Keene then spoke OF several minor i'm
provements. such as laying board and brio.
the proper committee.
"And the authorities might also learn how II
repair the road, remarked a citizen.
That they never will learn" remarked
President Galley. THAT is forlorn hope
For twenty Years they have been making re
pairs by dumping load OF unbroken sIon'
into a hole, and that will never make gooe
road
