be sent to the city council to at
least have representative present

that the city could do'to beautify
some parts of the city at very little
If any expense.
The committee appointed at the
last meeting to investigate the
question of the rebuilding of the
Arkansas Valley II. r. to this city
was not ready to report, and there
was some disappointment, as it
had been understood that the city
council had become interested il
tie question and had appointed a
committee to attend the meeting
of the association, but no one was
present to represent the city. 1t
is expected that at the meeting of
May End the committee will be
able to make report and it is to
be hoped that the city council will
cooperate with the association in
bringing this matter before the
railroad commission, where it will
no doubt have to go before it is
settled.
There are several matters of
interest to come before the next
meeting and every member should
make an effort to attend.
