COMMITTEES ON AVIATION
tcontInued from page one3,

tions. providing they are there to se-
 cure and pay for them.
 In this connection it Is well to an- l nounce. that the club had telephone
 installed in it's office yesterday. the number being Main 40. Every citi-
 zen who has a telephone should write this number in his telephone directory for 1t is. not there now. and though to use it. before the meeting is over he probably will, and if he does not some friend will want to. Having the
 number handy will expedite business a great deal
 The matter of street decorations
 has been decided upon. President Me-
 Dougall happens also to be president of the merchants decorating commit tee that has been maintained for sev- eral years for decorating during fair week He anupupced last night that the city-woulN be attired in it's full fair regatta. and be made to present as much of festival appearance as possibfe. -~-fhese decorations are ah- ready on hand and there will be no tax or expense attached to their use, except the cost of putting them up and taking them down again. for which if is understood arrangements have already been made.
 The matter of lighting the streets was taken up with Manager Ensign of the Pacific Gas & Electric com pany. He said it would cost the com pany about 3450 to- string it's lamps and keep the lights going for four nights. but he would do it for $250 This was considered a very liberal concession by the directors. in view of the fact that the company has already sudbscribed S250 to the guar antee fund. and he was. told to make it a bargain and go ahead and trim up his lamps. The lights will be on for four nights. the three nights of the meeting and the preceding night
 The matter of caring for the vis- itors. who are expected to arrive in large numbers. was given some con- sideration yesterday. C. D. Doris of the firm of Doris X Heyman, told the board that as near as he could estimate. there are now about TOO new cots. in the city that can be made available if needed. The plan has been suggested of renting the vari- Ous halls in the city and filling them with cots for the use of men who do not have rooms provided elsewhere. having proper watchmen to be in charge of these temporary lodging places. It is believed that rooms can be secured for most people. perhaps for all of them. but in an emergency Phoenix does not want it said that anybody had to leave town for the want of comfortable accommodations, even if they might not all be exclu- sively and privately housed This matter will be taken up systematically next week or sooner
 Manager Reiss said that the posters ordered from Los Angeles will be here by Friday or Saturday. and in addi- ton some hand painted sheets on cloth are being made here. Just as soon as this material is ready. which will probably be on Saturday. a corps Of six bill posters will be started out, three for the north and three for the south. The work of advertising will be rushed as hard as possible. The publicity committee is already sending out it's display advertising-to the territorial press. and the Phoenix ! papers are doing their part in keep 1 ing the ball rolling
 One feature of the big show that all l should remember is it's certainty. Un- 1 like a horse race, rainStorm. unless l it be veritable deluge, need not in- | terfere with the program. and there | are not a dozen days in the year when i the wind is as bad as it is much of the time on. most aviation fields. The | prayer for good weather is more in | the interest of the crowd than in that 1 of the flyers. There is not more than | one chance in a hundred that they | will be handicapped. and there are 99 out of 100 that they will strike the finest aviating weather they ever saw. On that may depend a great deal whether Phoenix becomes rec ognized as an aviation center during the future years.
