by z. E. Hayden, and also of the mo-
ton made by W. a. Thompson ask
ing that the council withhold per-
mission to remodel any of the frame
structures within the fire limits,
John F. Webber introduced a reso-
luton calling on the city council to
submit a bonding proposition to the
voters of this city for funds to Sc
cure a new city hall. This resolution
carried amid considerable and very
favorable discussion. 1t was the
sense of the meeting that inasmuch
as the city had to have facilities for
the fire department and more room
for the city offices, that it would be
good business for the city to OWE its
own building and get it up just as
soon as possible.

pose of boosting the valley and that
entertainment be furnished in this

cry be donated to the club with the
provision that the club frame these.

and Irrigation Congress which meets
In Chicago early in the winter. The
secretary was authorized to CORES
pond with the management OF this
big show and see how much OF an
exhibit the valley would be expected
IN make. and it was the sense of the
meeting that it would be good idea
to maintain an exhibit there.
