A rather important meeting of the
Colorado League of Municipalities was
held at Pueblo during the past week.
Papers and discussions were heard
bearing on questions of interest to cities
in the state. The business of the ties
sion was the appointment Of a commit
tee of five to receive suggestions OF
changes in municipal laws to be con-
densed by the committee into legal
form, and TO be presented as petitions
to the state Legislature for redress. On

The Transcontinentnl Passenger Az
sOciation is now an assured fact. The
general passenger agents who have
been in session at Glenwood since last
Thursday morning concluded their Ia

presidents and managers Of the re-
spective lines, who meet In New York
City September 18TH There appears
to be no doubt in the minds OF the
agents but that their work will be rat
flied by their superior officers. The
scope of the organization covers all
passenger traffic west of the Missouri
river destined to California points only.
The business to the northern coast
points will not be covered by the asso-
citation. Although 1t is believed that
the railroad lines to the north will later
come into the organization, none OF
these lines were represented at the
meeting.
