A LONG FELT WANT
The City Council Will Establish a
House of Rest
Where Visitors from the Country
Will Find Pleasant Resting Place
After Shopping.


When the City Council determin-
ed to establish convenient place
in the city where our country friends
could find a pleasant and convenient
resting place they supplied a long
felt want. AS we understand it, the
place is to be fixed up more especially
for ladies and children. They need
such a place. There they will find
fire where they can warm, and other
conveniences that ladies and chill
dren need while away from home.
We are certain that the people in
the country will appreciate and
make use of the rooms provided for
them. The rooms will be located in
the city building on Russell street
near the corner of Doyle.
The TIMES and Democrat sug-
gested the establishment of such a
place two years ago, and we are glad
that ISIS suggestion is to be carried
out. Other cities have such places
and they work we'll, and there is
no reason why it would not work
we'll here. The matter was brought
up in the City Council meeting by
petition from the Civic League max
ing recommendation for certain i'm
provements. Thee recommendations
lead to line of discussion, which
lead up to the establishment Of the
Home of Rest for country folks who
may visit the city on shopping tours
or other business. The matter Of de-
tail was referred by the City Coun-
ell to the committee on city property,
of which the Hon. l. w. Bowman is
the Chairman.
Mr.. Bowman has requested the CO.
operation Of the Civic League in
the establishment Of the House of
Rest, and that organization will do all
it can to make the movement a sue
cess. A meeting of the committee
and representatives Of the League
will be held on Thursday afternoon,
when the preliminaries for carrying
out the wishes of the city Council
regarding the matter will he arrans-
ed. Mrs H. G. Wannamaker and 9th
er ladies of the Civic League are en-
thusiastic in the matter and will
fully cooperate with the city in the
good work.
Only the first floor of the building
will be used, as that will be sufficient
for the purposes the city have in
view in establishing the house. The
city will purchase such furniture
as will be necessary for the fitting up
of the several rooms and have 1t
placed in them. Nothing on an elab-
orat scale will be fixed up, as the
idea aimed at is for comfort, and
there is no necessity to go to any
expense in fitting up the building.
The rooms will be in charge Of a
matron who will always be in at
tendance to see that those who visit
them will be well taken care Of.

,Boisy Jones, who was put on the

is the plan of Acting Mayor Lathroi'

streets for vagrancy not to put chains
on them, and it is not hard matter
for them to get away, which is the
very best thing for them to do so far
