waterway open, in that 1t may be needed

in the past to take care OF the overflow
from the City creek conduit. and although

Inasmuch as there has already been

forward with another suggestlon-that
The new capitol be built at the base OF

In support OF the feasibility OF his
suggestion. Mr. Kelsey argues that the
site there Is unexcelled: that the capitol
could be seen from every location In the
city and valley. and that the view OF
the city and valley from the capitol would
be superb. He says the city now owns

At Base Of the Peak
Mr.. kelseys idea is to utilize about

abrupt rise to the peak proper. This,
Mr.. Kelsey says. is about 5000 feet back

meeting OF the city council Thursday Il
was agreed to notify the chief OF police
TO rieidly enforce the ordinance reour-
ing that FOR hire" machines shall not

Reedall was authorized TO notify the
chief OF police that the law must be en-
forced at all hours of the day and night
