the girl to the services which she was
conducting. During the service the girl
listened without opening. her lips, a
hard look on her face. The Marechale

East Side Women Would Have Park
From City at Large.

Several women from the east part of
the city called upon r. L. Cofran, mayor.
and members Of the city commission to
urge the purchase by the city Of tract
of land comprising approximately three
and one-half acres just west of the inter-
section OF Eighth and Tenth streets, to
be used by the city for a park.
The property is assessed for taxation
purposes at 5000.
While the women wished the land to be
converted into a park, they were opposed
to having the usual procedure following
in such cases. Instead OF having a park
benefit district created and the cost asses
sed against the district, they wish to have
the city at large bear the. expenSes.

Vice President of Santa Fe Announces
