fgurement, and now that the road de-
| partment stands ready to cart away
all refuse caused by the removal OF
weeds from the cutters and sidewalks
we are satisfied that a large number
of property holders will Immediately
avail themselves Of this favor, and d
general Improvement will be the re-
suit. This affords an excellent OPP
portunity for the local clubs 10 take
up this work. Arrange, if possible,
! for certain cleaning days in your dis
tricts and pile up the weeds and re-
fuse for the road department 10 re-
move
There seems no reason now to
question our judgment in taking up
one line of work at a time for special
effort, but it is certainly a mistake
to drop one thing before il is finished
TO take up another, and it is to be
hoped that the cleaning of sidewalks,
the Improvement OF streets and other
matters Will be continued together
with any new line OF work which may
be selected for special effort at this
meeting.
Through the efforts of the chair
man of our press committee, Mr.. E.
l. Spalding, the ordinance relating to
curbing and sidewalks was published.
It is satisfactory to note that num-
Der Of property holders have recently
added curbing TO their sidewalks This
seems one of the most noticeable i'm
proyements possible, and it is to be
hoped that others will be influenced
by this good example to do likewise,
ole Lilo u -
Der of property holders have removed
their fences fronting on the main
thoroughfares, and in several in
stances, a striking example is made
by opening TO view beautiful grounds
which were hitherto hidden by IN
slightly and dilapidated fences. This
question is again brought TO our notice
in very strong letter from B. F.
Dillingham; which will be read at this
meeting
Mr.. F. s. Dodge has kindly prom
ised his services in getting up a map
showing the districts covered by exist
ing clubs. It is our hope to have this
map published showing just where
other clubs are needed. The entire
city should be covered by this i'm
provement work. Sometime ago
communication was addressed from
this committee to all the clubs of rec
ord asking for full particulars as TO
organization and the districts covered,
but in a number of cases this inform
alton has not yet been furnished. and
the clubs which have not responded
are urgently requested TO send in this
date at once so that Mr.. Dodge may
complete the map.
THE suggestion that a down town
club be organized is a good one Steps
should be taken to accomplish same.
The question Of the old Fishmarket
site should be considered at this meet
ing, and the opinion of this committee
as TO the disposal Of the property be
made a matter Of record.
THE unsightly ruins Of a partly
burned building on Beretania avenue
should be removed. So far the efforts
Of this committee have been unavail- |
ng- However, it is 10 be hoped that /
some means can be found to compel |
the property owner to remove this |
eyesore
We are very glad to have sugges- /
ions offered at these meetings. and |
LII who are interested are invited TO |
attend and express their ideas.
Some excellent letters are presented |
oday, and the interest that is being
AIKEN in the improvement work by
ome Of our best people is very en-
ouraging"
SUGGESTIONS FOR FUTURE
WORK.
A number of communications were
hen read nv rha Saa~a+1rv- IIarol5 I
containing many valuable
uggestions.
The most ambitious scheme suggest
d was that of George Davies, who
u5mitted a proposition to park a por-
on of Union square. tear down the
apitol fence and otherwise improve
1ings around the public buildings.
lis letter contained the following.
1T will, I think, be admitted that
he most attractive spot in the town !
