Well, MT. Johnson told me that and if you ask him I believe that he will tell you" answered Mr. Creason.
 '1f he does so it will not make is true" answered MT. Williams
 MT Cohen stated that he did not know the figures, but he had under. stood that Mir Johnson had said they had saved } per cent on the order by giving it where it was placed. and .hat was the reason he sent the first com munication. He did not think a resi- dent of Hot Springs and a man prom inent in League affairs should set the precedent of sending a big order away to save per cent, when probably that much would not be saved in The long run,
 The matter was dropped, after MT. Eisele had suggested that incident had served a good purpose if it did noth- ing more than bring to the League the second communication from the mill company, with it's tenor of stick 70 the League" He said that if the citizens of Hot Springs would stick within the League and bring their grievances there, better things might be accomplished
 MT. Wayne Moore then brought to the attention of the body the lack of a switch connecting the two rail roads He said that great saving could be had by shippers if the roads had a connecting switch, but that he had single handed made a fight for one and failed He had taken the matter before the railroad commits sion, where it had not secured a-ten- tion. He asked The League to help bring about this result
 '"The switch would save much in freight" suggested MT. 'Horner. He spoke of how the freight rates here were exorbitant and how the consum- CT was made the goat. He said tha coal from Arkansas mines cost as much here as it did marekted in Dal las. He said oats from Nebraska cost ii Ntllt0 iu IlpA o pi llis,o anu Io NChIS in Little Rock He spoke of other such exorbitant freight rates
 MT Higgins told of how paper ship ments cost II cents per hundred from points in Michigan to Cairo, and 49 cents from Cairo 70 Hot Springs.
 These matters were referred to the railroad committee of the League, which committee will be urged to in- yite and to collaborate such just com 'plaints and file them with the railroad commission, and try to fin dout if they can not be acted on.
 The matter of fire insurance was next brought up, and Col Little made some statements cf conditions un. known generally. He said that five insurance companies were now re- fusiug Hot Springs business and that others were not wanting risks between Marke. street and Wilmington ave nue. He believed that the insurance companies did not understand what Hot Springs had done to meet the'r demands, and to get the matter be- fore the people, he had secured from Mayor McClendon a letter, which he read to the League, and copies of which he was sending out.
 Mir. Simon Cooper stated that he had felt something of the change when a former risk he had insured at ? per cent he was forced to pay cents 70 get some additional insurance.
 Col. Little said that there was great danger in the situation, but that he believed if the council acted promptly on .he demands for water main eX- tensions, and the enactment Of the building ordinance, the situation would be relieved.
 Secretary Bedding called the atten- ton of the meeting to the fact that Senator Clarke was coming here Thursday night to be the Leagues guest and to make an address at the Auditorium Theatre. and that he be- lieved the people would show by ther attendance there whether or not they were interested in the real big things for Hot Springs.
 A committee on reception had been named to meet Senator Clarke. com posed of Simon Cooper chairman; w. H Martin, M. A. Eisele, Dr. T. F. Holland. Douglas Hotchkiss, Dave Laser and Walter NJ. Ebel.
 Dr. brennan took occasion to re- mark that one of the best things the , government could do for Hot springs | was to take the cry of warning OH the trains. He did not believe the visitor needed to be warned against Hot Springs citizenship. He said that tbe visitor was told to beware or any one suggesting a physician, and tolu to on to the superintendent and re- mort and there get advice and instrue- tion. vet the superintendent could do nothing more than furnish printed list of all the regis cred physicians and send the visitor forth again. friohtened half out of his wits
