CITY BEAUTIFUL PLAN fsssar. ~
Second Avenue or Barraque Street EX. tension to Be Decided Upon
 How to Dc It.
To the Editor of the Daily Graphic


 City,
 Dear Sir:-At the meeting of the City Beautiful Club held Thursday, April 20th, at 10 o'clock a. m. at the First Presbyterian church, I brought up the matter of forming the entire city of Pine Bluff into an improve ment district for the purpose of pav- ing street and laying a concrete sidewalk on one side of the street, either out Second avenue or Barra- que street, to the cemetery with branch to run to the Catholic ceme- tery, and am glad to state that the Club was unanimously in favor of the proposition and will do all they can to carry out and perfect same.
 This, as you know is a long and badly needed want. There is not 8 property owner in the city who is not Interested in this drive way, and l have spoken to number of large property owners and nave yet to find a e!nglt objection, and most every one Is enthusiastic for it and hopes it will be done.
 As to the cost-it will be very small. As we have four millions of dollars worth of assessed real estate in the city you readily see no one would have to pay very much sl,ne property owners on the adjoining pr' -ty would os course, pay more in proportion than the general pub- lie. My plan would be for cash job-one assesment and no bonds. Bv this means the work could be douu for much less sum 10 have it drawn out into a bond issue with several years to pay for same. I am also in favor of block pavement simi- lar to Walnut street, for the street pavement and wide concrete side- walk on at leai, one side of the street.
 l hope everybody, without any ex- captions, will join in and, without any more delay than absolutely me- cessary to legally fix up the papers, form the district and have the work rushed to completion. Our mayor is heartily in favor of it, and he, togeth- CT with other city officials, will do all they can accomplish same.
 Yours respectfully,
 V. o. ALEXANDER. Chairman Committee On Streets, AL leys and Sidewalks, City Beautiful Club.

The chairman requests the members Of City Beautiful Club to impress the members of the council and especially the Committee on Public Affairs that they and indeed the entire population of Pine Bluff have set their hearts on securing the appropriation and im- provement asked for.
 Respectfully submitted,
 EPHRAIM FRISCH,
 Chairman
 The Cemetery Association as a body was elected to membership. MT. Alexander asked the endorsement of the Club in the following work.
