First Ward Ministers Planning

TOO MUCH GLASS.
AutOists and Others Complain Of
Danger to Tires.
Soldier Township Orders Weeds
Cut Down.

A movement is on foot to hold open
air union church services at Garfield
park on Sunday evening for the hot
months. 1t is likely that the Casino
will be utilized for the meetings if per-
mission can be secured.
Rev. David H. Lyons, pastor of the
Central Avenue Christian church. and
Rev. W. c. Meeker, pastor of the Sec
ond Presbyterian church, are among
those much interested in the idea.
They are taking the matter up with
the other ministers of the First ward.
The plan is both pleasant and prac-
teal. It gives an opportunity for an
outing and a conducive atmosphere
for religious service. Then, too, there
will be little excuse for staying away
from church because it's so hot in
side"
Regarding permission to hold the
services, Eugene Stotts, city park COM
missioner said this afternoon:

could not be held in the casino, but OF
course We would not answer for any
thing which may draw attention from
