Eureka Lodge, No. 8, Shield of
Honor, sent a communication r~eciting
the fact that four hundred members of
the ORDER live in the Eighth ward, and
making a special request of the COM
mittee that the line of march extend at
least as far south as Thirty-first street.
This will be found a troublesome ques-
ton for the committee as usual. The
route cannot be made long on account
of the fact that there will be many vet
Grams of the civil war in the line, and
the hardship of a long march would be
uncomfortable. Nevertheless, the COM
mittee in it's deliberations will not lose
sight of the fact that the great bulk of
the population is in the lower wards
and will endeavor to arrange the best
route under the circumstances. 1t
might be found practicable to extend
the route from Tenth street to Thirty
first, and it is believed that this would
be satisfactory to everybody. Consid-
ering the probable length of the parade
itself, it is difficult to conceive that it
would be possible to handle it in much
less space.
