ganization OF some size is then formed,
which may be known as a civic inn
provement or city planning association.
The newspapers will, OF course have
the outset.
The first step is to raise fund for
purposes of securing plans and meet
ing the expenses OF the movement. and
this may be accomplished either by
an appropriation made by the munich
pal authorities, by donation from a
philanthropist or by general public
subscription. 1t is advisable to have
as great n general interest as possible
created In the subject, as IL will thus
receive degree OF support which
would not be accorded it were its ac-
tivities confined to limited number.
One Of the best means of arousing
public interest in city planning is the
giving OF public lectures on the sub
ject by experts. Such lecturer
should always be obtained whatever
the plan followed. and the lecture
should be accompanied by illustrations
OF what has been done and is contem-
plated In other cities.
4 preliminary fund OF from one to
fifty thousand dollars, according to the
size Of the city, should be raised. 4
fund OF $4,000 might probably be ex-
pended as follows:

solution OF the problem OF the city's

TO participate in the replanning of

character AS in no other way can
city be so greatly benefited, those who
take part in such movements serve not
only their own interests, but the inter-

Often a single public spirited citizen
with very little expenditure OF effort
can initiate such a movement. At an
informal dinner the subject may be
brought up and the first steps taken
that is, to interest few men OF proml-

To the Voters of the Town Of Gunni-
SON
We, the representatives Of the Peo-
pies Party, desire to make this finsl
statement and appeal to you. We de-
plore that the representatives of the
Citizens Party have sought TO turn this
campaign, which is really one Of vital
issues, into one Of personal villificatiou
and political mud-sIinging We protest
that such attacks are not justified and
believe the best people Of the town will
approve our course Of conhning our
selves to the consideration Of the issue
involved. We do not want to win this
election, If TO do so means we must de
fame the character of the candidates of
the Citizens ticket. We want to win
ON the merit of our cause aud not on
any personal dement's of our opponents.
Therefore, we speak no word against
them. You are acquainted with their
lives, public and private, and you know
whether their records are such that You
want to commit the affairs of your town
to their direction and control. You are
also acquainted with our candidates.
We ask you to compare them and ssk
yourself" Which men are representa-
tive citizeRs? Which mea have dcne
and ere doing the most for our towns
best interest? Which, in the conduct of
their own affairs, have shown them
selves possessed of hest business Judge
ment? Which men are hest qualified
by their enterprise and experience to
manage the affairs of our town? Which
group of men will give us, not politi-
cal, but genuine business administra-
tom"
These are questions you must decide
for yourself.
You have been told there are no is
sues at stake in this election. but this
is an erroneous statement. There is
ONE GREAT ISSUE to be settled bv
your ballot. This is the question of
LAW ENFORCEMENT. We call your
attention to the fact that in their plat

Prohibition. This Is not So At the

the town. the Town of Gunnison is dry

until changed BY vote Of the people.
As long as the Town of Gunnison is dry

not an issue. We pledge our caedida;es
that they will instruct the incoming
marshal to enforce all the ordinances of
the town which can be enforced by and
through its Police Magistrate We
want Gunnison 10 be clean, well con
Quoted, prosperous town and if elected,
will work to that end. As stated by the

ASSESSOR THOMAS MEETS
WITH TAX Men N DENVER

Fifty-seven of the sixty-three asses
sors of the state, in their annual meet
ing in Denver last week, unanimously
sustained the tax commission in its
stand for full valuation. This is the
report made by A. NJ Thomas, assessor
of Gunnison County, who attended the
meeting
1t was the general opinion expressed
by the assessors, that the full valuation
principle is step in the right direction
and will only bring about good results.
Mr.. Thomas says that the members
of the tax commission expect To visit
every county in the state next year. 1t
is the desire of this tax board to make
a report TO the board of equalization
which will show where and on what
property the assessment in each county
should be increased or decreased. For
this reason the members desire to gain
some personal knowledge of the condi-
tion in each county by their visit around
the state this summer.
The assessors recommended the pas
sage of law which will change the
term of Office Of county assessors from
two to six years.
Mr.. Thomas says that the National
Tax Convention will be held in Denver
sometime in September and that some
Of the leading tax experts Of America
and Europe will be present to take part.

U.C.GlEE CLUB PlEAsEs
LARGE AUDIENCE HERE
DELAYED In Black Canon and Do
Not Give Consert Until
Tuesday

The University of Colorado Glee Club
concert which was scheduled for this
city last Saturday night was not given
until Sunday Afternoon, due to the fact
that the college boys were delayed in
the Black Conon by snow slides and did
not arrive until Sunday morning about
five O'Clock.
The twenty-five members Of the glee
club tell thrilling story of their ex-
periences in the canon. 1t seems that
several mammoth slides were eneount-
eres. one of them being five hundred
feet long. The boys shoveled snow
with the section hands for several hours
and when they reached Gunniton were
tired out.
Great plans had been made for the
reception of the boys here, and the
delay of the train caused much anxiety
for those in charge of the concert.
Although disappointed Saturday night
large crcwG ATTENDED the concert
SUNDAY afternoon. The concert was
perhaps the best of its kind ever given
in this city. 1t was refreshing and
pleasing from beginning TO end. The
program was closed by "A Night Off,,
a one act farce. which furnished all
kinds of fun for the audience The
readings by Fred Varney were good
and much enjoyed, and solos were OF an
especially high order. Tne quartettes
and mandolin club were well organized
and showed splendid training. In short
the program was a real music treat.
The college boys won favor from the
people of Gunnison. and il is the uni
versal hope that they viii come again
next year.
