Onward.
1t is settled. that capitol idea. Now
that it's all over and almost forgot
ten and tho papers throught Utnh
have all had their say and explained
how 1t happened or didn't happen.
lets take up a few other things and
talk about them, Let's work up

a booster club 10 help the Weber
club and tho civic league. Suppose
the slogan is adopted Onward. Og-
den, Onward"
I notice some two weeks ago or
more the Chamber OF Commerce had
meeting In the report given of
this event II was stated that an cX.
preston OF opposition was manifest
cd by some members present TO the
parking of Twenty-fourth street Not
being q member of this body OF bust.
ness men and not being present. can
only form an opinion by the report
given.
Tho Civic League OF Ogden has Of
fered some very good suggestions at
various times, some OF which have
been adopted and carried out under
our eyes. This league has secured
from the council | understand. per
mission to park Twenty-fourth for d
certain distance. at its own expense,
with money provided from their own
pockets. Now come some (progrcs-
sive?l members of the commercial
body polite and say it would be
objectionable for many reasons TO
have grass growing in the streets of
Ogden. Maybe they are right Who
shall say? 1t was argued that Twen-
ty.fourth street is one of the streets
where heavy traffic is carried on and
IN the winter time teams have TO zig
gag across the street to get up the
hill. ] think herein is a suggestion
for the humane society TO get busy.
Have a deputy sheriff duly appointed
with headquarters at the county
court house. which overlooks this
hill. and next winter wnen these
heavily loaded teams are struggling
up Twenty.fourth zig-zaz. until they
get down on their knees, goadod on
by some human whelp seated on a
cushioned spring seat, instead oil
walking, welding a whip bringing
welts on the sides Of his faithful
seen similar sights on Twcnty-tfth
street in the winter months, many
times. I.t ,tG ryr.,l oaI.u-.e
1t would be better 10 have lighter
loads and more thoughtful, careful
teamsters and more beautiful streets
in our city. Cl
Gentlemen of the Civic League. we
ask that you do not abandon your
ideal idea to park TweDty-fourth and
give the city the benefit of other help
full suggestions You. perhaps, Will
always find those who oppose any
real nice, worthy, desirable thing
] suppose YOU can find people in
Utah who would even oppose the idea
of Ogden and Weber county building
half million dollar capitol and pre-
senting II to the state free OF cost
a building that would be ample TO
handle the business of the state for
two generations. building OF which
we could be proud, credit TO this
city and the entire state at large,
Why not go after it2
Then there is another matter that
time ago-in block twenty-five? VIII
somebody who knows" tell us?
would he a good Idea to GO AFTER.
We don't think much about ii this
month when the days are long and
everything is lovely and in tune with
the infinite" and the nights are short
and we don't burn much money in the
way of electric light What has be-
come OF our lighting and heating
proposition that gave such promise
and raised such high hopes short
think the Hartman people can we'll
afford 10 be very good 20 Ogden, con-
sidering the contribution made in the
way OF excessive freight rates and
electric light rates.
Very respectfully,
