BUSINESS MEN
 AT RIVERSIDE
Board of Trade Members, City Officials and Com mission dine at New
 Amusement Park; Pledge
 Aid In Keeping it Clean

Directors of the Board of Trade, merchants, bankers and newspaper men were the guests of H. B. King at dinner at Riverside park last night, which was as delightful as it was informal, as it gave opportunity for q comprehensive inspection of the park by the business men that they might see for themselves what had been accomplished in an unbe- 1ieVably short space of time.
 In response to a demand for a speech MT. King stated that he was not an after dinner speaker; but he was willing to state that his idea in building Riverside was purely philan thropic and entirely without thought of financial gain. Speaking serious ly, however, he wanted to put the credit for Riverside where it really belonged-at the feet of D. w. Hall
 Riverside is not my idea," said MT. King The idea and it's work ing out-the park as you see it to- niSht-is what D. W. Hall saw in waste of sand covered with old tin cans and garbage. He thought of it. he talked me into it, showed me how it could be done, called on MT Reynolds and MT Ensign and show cd them what he wanted then went ahead and built it and in six weeks did mo.e for the good of the whole of Phoenix than has any one man in recent years.
 We think We have a beautiful place here. and We are going to keep 1t as it is noW-clean inside and out side the pool. We need your help to do this and we believe that the busi ness men of Phoenix will stand with us and help us make the park not 1 only beautiful place but a thing of infinite benefit to every family in l the city"
 l C. H. Ayers replied to MT. Kings | talk, expressing admiration for the wonders which the management had accomplished and asked Dwight B. | Heard to put a motion expressing | the thanks of the Board of Trade and all those assembled there to the management of Riverside park and particularly to D. W. Hall for what they had done and were doing for the good of the city. The motion
 was duly seconded, and in putting it
 before the meeting MT Heard said
 T don't know why I have been
 constituted chairman, but it certainly
 is a pleasure for me to put this
 vote of thanks before you. Mr. King
 MT Hall and their associates have
 made good. They have given tc
 Phoenix something that it long has !, needed and of which it may well bG
 p.oud. It is place where one may go for wholesome, helpful amuse- l ment and find it. It will benefit tn; whole city individually and collec . lively, and you can count on tht cooperation of the city in keepin: 1t what you have made it-a charm
 ing, clean and delightful place" A. L. Moore, president of tn
