 The resolution relative to the invit- ing of Chairman Fitzgerald of the con eressional appropriations committee here was as follows:
 Whereas the Interior Department under whose direction the Hot Springs reservation is supervised, had asked os the present congress an appropria- ton for a storm drainage system that the drainage of the reservation prop erty on the City of Hot Springs mieht not longer he a burden to thls resort,
 And whereas the item was stricken from the appropriation bill through the antagonism of Chairman Fitzger- aid of the house appropriations com mittee,
 And whereas we believe that Chair man Fitzgerald would not antagonize such a worthy demand for an appro- priatiol if the circumstances were fully explained to him and thorough y understood by him. therefore be it Resolved, that the Chamber of Com. merce of Hot Springs tender to Chairman Fitzgerald of the appropria. | tions committee a special and urgent | invitation to visit Hot Springs in No vember during the week of the Arkan. sas State Fair as a special guest o' honor, that this city and state might 1 have the honor of so esteemed a mem Ter of congress among them and that the occasion of the visit will also give Mir. Fitzgerad q opportunity to make a | personal inspection of one of the most interesting and important of the gov. ernments reservations.
 And be it further resolved. that Gus Strauss. Col. w. ]. Little and ] A. Stallcup be designated as a special committee to personally tender this invitation to MT Fitzgerald and urge upon him an acceptance"
