The officers of the association have
decided to have the negative side of
this question presented as we'll as the
affirmative. Among those speaking on
the negative side will be John Howe
Peyton, assistant to president of the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad. Mr.
Howe writes that it is his present
opinion that the construction OF the
waterway that our association advo-
Gates will involve most absurd waste
of public funds and with his present
lights he is strongly opposed toesuch
waste. The association officers feel
that projects have been advocated pos
sibly with aall sincerity and good
faith which have caused public waste,
and any such tendency in the project
advocated by the Mississippi to At

sented to speak at the convention"

Mr.. Creighton says that he has, &C

He says he has tree which happens
to be near where dish water Is thrown

fact that the soap in the water is the
