ARROYO SEC0 TO BE MADE
HANDSOME HOME DISTRICT
EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS BE-
ING PLANNED
Highland View Association Undertakes
Immense Scheme for Beautifylng
Suburban Section and Will Convert
1t Into Fine Residence Territory

Fine granitoid sidewalks to take the
place of dusty and uneven paths; paved
and oiled streets istead of ungraded
and unsightly roads; beautiful resi-
dence district with all the modern i'm
provements of any fashionable portion
Of the city substituted for the present
rural settlement. This is the plan of
Improvement for the neighborhood of
Pasadena avenue and Arroyo Seco, as
mapped out by Highland View Inn
provement association at its first meet
ing held Monday night
For the past several months resi-
dents of the Arroyo neighborhood have
been endeavoring to improvise some
scheme of improvement. At one time
1t was proposed to turn portion of
the district into a park. The abundance
of natural scenery offered many ad-
vantages to the property owners and
after months of weary waiting the
Highland View association decided up
on the improvement as outlined.

Constable ]. H. de la Monte and
others who are at the head of the
movement meeting will be held at
3112 Dayton avenue this evening and
property owners of the district will
talk over plans for immediate improve
ment of a number of streets.
Besides all ordinary improvements,
such as streets and putting down walks
and curbs, 1t is proposed to plant shade
trees and shrubbery on all curb lawns,
improve the lighting system and give
the neighborhood a thorough cleaning.
AS a. first step in this direction the
association has decided on paving Day
ton street from Loretta street to Av-
enue Thirty-seven.
The following officers have been
elected: ]. H. de la Monte, presi-
dent; w. l.. Crug, first vice president;
]. V. Mcneil, second vice president;
]. w. Johnson, secretary; G. T. Smith,
treasurer.

in the future that he is anxious that
it should maintain it's individuality

Arkansas Commissions Report.

The fifth annual report of the Ar
kansas railroad commission will be
issued in few days. The report will
make the following statement on some
matters of general interest:
1.-The joint rates made and promul-
gated by the commission last year
have fulfilled our expectations con-
cerning them. They have saved many
thousands of dollars in freights, and
have made conditions so that the pro-
Gucers all over the S. ate may ex-
change their products and carry on
commerce with each other. The con
oi1ions under whicn, owing to prohib-
iive freight rates by direct route, il
was necessary for the fruit crop Of
the state to be shipped to ST. Louis
and reshipped to Solah Arkansas no
longer exists. The same statement
May be made with reference to other
Arkansas products.
"The question of car supply during
the busy season of the year has not
given so much trouble as in previous
years. This, we think, is due to twJ
causes; one the better management
cn the part of the railroads, and the
gradual movement of the cotton crop
We desire to reafirm our position on
this question-we NEST respectfully
