this may be done, but the committee was
instructed to act with like committees
from other organizations, The club also

is not ignored or Disseminated against.

street, the question of bringing Twenty

the property owners and city engineer look
ing towards the adoption of an acceptable
grade on that street and the ultimate grad
ing of the same. The matter of having
an ordinance introduced prohibiting ter

over to the next meeting. The executive
committee has been instructed to arrange
for an outdoor meeting in the park at an

Railroad Wants Grade Changed.
c. L. Dundey, attorney for the Union
1
seeking to have changed the grade of the
| alley which accommodates the new Union
Pacific depot at Twenty-seventh and o
| streets The reason for the change of
| grade is that the street may be made to
conform with the platform OF the new
| depot. AS It is now, the alley is too high,
so that articles of freight must be lifted
| into wagons The road is willing to pay
I for the work of grading ana repaving the
alley, provided the property owners will
give them the right by signing the petition
for the change of grade. All the plans
have been made for the work. The en-
! cheering department drafted a petition
yesterday and the same will be circulated
for signatures. 1t may be that the petition
will be ready by Monday evening so that
| the council may take charge. The depart
ment has also perfected it's plans for the
new Office on Twenty-fourth street. The
building is being rapidly repaired and will
be ready for occupancy in the course OF
another week
