 Within the past year I visited Pulaski Heights for the first time. It l was plain to be seen that this beauti- | ful addition would not be in exist | ence today were 1t not for the coop. l eration of your electric street rail 1 way.
 Many people believe that a corpo- | ration such as your street railway | company is so strong and wealthy | that it does not need the support of | all citizens. This is d great mistake ! Ask Mir Griffith if he does not work | with a happier spirit when he feels that he has your sympathy and assist. ance.
 Before closing I wish to express the hope that you will use your best efforts to brilliantly Illuminate with electric lights the dome of the state capitol building. I believe it will prove of great and lasting benefit to your city and 10 the state at large.

 Hot Springs is proud of Little Rock and our people join in the wish that you will never have 10 change the 2oO,0o0 population sign before the year 1920.
