Against Parking Plan.

The chamber of commerce at its meet
ing last night went on record in favor of
a general besutfying and improvement
Of the streets and parks. but in opposi-
ton to the parking of TWenty-fourth
street between Washington and Adams
avenues The position was taken that
the best macadam paving was on this
street and that this was placed there be-
cause Of the trouble encountered in con-
trolling the water flowing down the hill.
II was also argued that the cause of the
steep brad3 loaded teams required the
fun width of the street
Communications were received from the
National Irrigation congress to meet in
Spokane in August and the Trans-Missis
slppi Congress to meet in Denver in Au-
gust, notifying the chamber that it was
entitled to two delegates to the former

are at the same time as the G.. A R
enCampment in salt Lake City. il is
thought that there would be difficulty in
securing delegates. The matter was left
TO the president.
