CELEBRATION PLAN HOLDS
CONTINUED from Page One)

Bilyeu of the finance committee ap-
pointed to solicit funds. The senti-
ment of the club was very pronounc-
ed in the matter, and the problem
will be investigated further. Regard
ing the matter of concessions for the
Fourth and for Chautauqua week,
the concessions committee In charge
of the celebration, was given full
power to act.
Mayor Van Orsdel was present
and asked the members of the club

New Station Matters.
The railroad committee reported
ON the matter of securing new
station building for Dallas from the
Southern Pacific company A letter
received by the committee from D.
NJ. Campbell, general superintendent
in which that individual urged pa
tienee on the part of the Dallas peo-
pie, was read. Mr.. Campbell stated
that his company was not yet ready
to build new station here owing to
the electrifcation problem in which
the road was now engaged. He call
ed attention to the fact that work
along this line of improvement was
now under way and that it might be
necessary to utilize an entirely differ
ent site for the station building
when the electlifcation shall have
been completed and that the com
pany did not desire to 90 to any
great expense in the permanent i'm
provement of the present grounds
until that time, although, he said
the company was perfectly willing
to make such additions or alterations
to their present structure as would
meet the temporary needs of the pa
irons of the road. The communica-
tion was placed on file.
The matter of securing reduced
railroad rates for the coming chau-
tauqua was referred to the railroad
committee.
