TALK OVER MATTERS
OF CIVIC IMPROVEMENT

A joint meeting of the members OF
the Canon City Park commission and
the Civic improvement League was
held at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
D. E Gibson Tuesday night for the
purpose of discussing plans for the de-
velopment of the local park system
and the Inauguration of a campaign
for greater cleanliness in the public
streets and alleys and for increased
neatness in the appearance OF private
homes.
The meeting was largely attended
and great interest was manifested in
the matters for which it had been
called. The reports made, both by the
commission and the league, were high
ly encouraging and Afforded an excel
lent idea of what was being accom-
plished by these agencies in making
Canon a city beautiful. A vast amount
of work has been done by these two
organizations in the Canon Gardens,
and they have been transformed from
jungle of unsightliness into places
of beauty which are destined to BE-
come Joy forever.
A name is wanted by the park COM
mission for the strip of land along the
Rio Grande tracks, between First and
Third streets, which has been re-
claimed from abandonment and disuse
during the last two years and made at

que. 1t Is suggested that those having
an appropriate name for this pardcu-
lar spot send them to D. e. Gibson.

Committee is Favorable.

The council committee to which the
matter had been referred reported in
favor of making the proposed improve
ments. Mr.. Deuker thought that as
such an Improvement would be pub
lie benefit the city should pay at
least one-third of the cost. Mr. Deu-
ker has been constantly advocating
this course of action. He thought
that If the matter was referred back
to the board some understanding
might be secured so he moved not to
concur in the report of the board.
Mr.. Leftwich moved to amend Mr.

Found 1t the Better Course to
Postpone Action Until
Next Meeting.
BIG DELEGATION ON HAND.
COMMITTEE REPORT IN FAVOR
OF IMPROVEMENT AR.
CUES THAT CITY SHOULD PAY
ONE THIRD.

With the eyes of big delegation of
the councilmen Monday evening back
/ ed water on the project of paving
North f street from Tenth street to
H Sixteenth street and afer consider
able debate decided to postpone final
action until the next council meet
| ing.
short time ago the board of pub
lie works realizing that North E street
should be made a permanent street as
far east as Sixteenth street on ac-
count of the heavy trucking done on
that street, adopted a resolution pro-
viding for concrete curbs and cutters
on North K street from the east side
of North Tenth street to the east side
of North Sixteenth street; paving the
roadway with vitrified paving block
and for cement sidewalk on the north
side of North E street, from Tenth to
| Sixteenth street and on the south side
from Tenth to Thirteenth street ex-
cept portions now paved with Star
block or cement. The property own
ers in the effected district on North
E street Immediately entered a pro-
test making it necessary for the board
to refer the matter to council
One Open Advocate.
Councilman Engelbert was the only
one who came out openly in favor
of making the proposed improvements.
Mr.. Englebert stated that the street
should be made a permanent street
at once so that it could be in good
shape for winter. He said that all
last winter the manufacturers on
North y street complained over the
condition of this street and that as
soon as the board decided to put it in
condition to withstand the heavy trav-
ei these same manufacturers, whose
purses were touched by the action of
the board, entered protest.
Mr.. Bartel asked how many of the
property owners on the street had
protested against the action of the
board and Attorney Kelley, who has
been retained by the DIRECTORS to rep
resent them, stated that there is not a
foot of property on the affected dis
trict of which the owner had not re-
monstrated. Mr.. Bartel then stated
that if the council ordered this i'm
provement made he thought it would
be acting contrary to the will of the
people.
For the benefit of the councilmen,
City Engineer Charles stated that the
estimated cost of the proposed inn
provements is s1.55 per lineai foot
for the street car company and 81 per
lineal foot to the property owners on
each side of the street. The total
cost of the improvement, Mr.. Char
les stated, would amount to about
$4,000.
Committee is Favorable.

matter had been referred reported in

ments. Mr.. Deuker thought that as
