What Do You Sayp

We want to say in disinterestod
spirit, and we believe the facts in the
case win bear us out, that Union City, as
everyone knows, is great Fourth Of
July tSwn, but more recently we have
acquired the band spirit. For several
years Union City enjoyed the luxury Of
park concerts, not only to the pleasure
OF the citizens, but to the profit OF our
cafes and soda fountains. Now the point
is this, can we have both. A Fourth of
July celebration costs about seven or
eight hundred dollars. The concerts
cost less money, a little more than half,
The concerts continue all summer. The
Fourth is for one day only. Of course
the sales Of beverages are heavy on the
Fourth, but during the course Of A series
of summer concerts the sales will ag-
gregate perhaps a very much larger
amount. II we can afford both then
there is no necessity Of pursuing the
subject any further, but il we can have
only one Of these, then which should
we prefer?
Mind you, the young men are ready
and willing to reorganize the band, An
effort is already being made to this
effect. We are merely offering these
suggestions for their worth. But in our
opinion the concerts will bring more
genuine and lasting pleasure than the
Fourth and far more profit to the soda
fountains. The fourth is generally a
hot day, usually accompanied with
heavy showers. Sometimes the pro-
gram is cut very short and unsatisfac-
tory on account Of the rain, and some-
times the attractions fall far below the
guarantee. All these things are to be
commended with on the Fourth. But
success or no success, it is generally
strenuous day hot, suItry and sticky
and when night comes every person who
has been on the street is ready to for
swear all future independence celebra-
tions. But with the concerts il is diff
ferent land be it said to the credit OF
the young men we have had some
mighty good concerts in Union City,; |
crowds are attracted to the park in the
cool OF the evenings, where they can
lounge or sit and refresh themselves
with pure air before going to their
rooms for the night They can enjoy
the music or the pleasure of social
chat, or repair to the cafes for ices or
drinks as they choose. But first OF all
the music attracts the crowds or they
would not gather at the park. The
series OF concerts amount to sixteen
and il the matter is left
alone to the proprietors Of the soda
they cannot fail TO see that
he concerts are more profitable. The
drinks sold at sixteen concerts, by all
manner Of estimates, win exceed the
thinks sold on the Fourth. Seams to I,
rs il is safe proposition. Concede
hat fact, and the rest is easy enough.
Leave it to vote as to which we should
Iave and the concerts would carry two
Q one--more, but that is enough.
The concerts are much better in a
general way, and more popular, but il
10Th, then let's have both. We are
Wiling. But Of those who are espec-
ally anxious for the concerts, we want
