More than 2000 acres of territory are aS de1 to the city boundary lines of Hot Spr'hg-s~t lhrEFeggh tue general squaring up and extending -tdG. city borders in all directions, provided that the present voters of the city wards shall vote in favor of such an extension in the general election of April 2, when a mayor and four com missioners are to be elected.
 Last night at the city council meet. ing the proposed extension was sub mitted, and the council passed an ordi. nance looking 10 the placing on the city ballots of the question as to whether the bordars of the city shoald be extended
 The proposed extension. for instance on Wilmington avenue, goes as far as the well known West End Club" property taking in Wilmington Park. On upper Park avenue the city borders will be carried out beyond the crest Of what Is known as the Divide Hill." Out in South Hot Springs direction the borders will be carried well past Greenwood cemetary, and almost a mic 10 the south. Directly south of the city the lines will extend to in- elude OaklaWn addition to tho city, the Oaklawn race track property, Fairdale, and oil that property adja- cent. Out the Malvern avenue direc- ton the lines will extend well past Maurice Villa and will go on one line almost to the Country Club property. Elst of the city the lines will take in Eoclid Heights. Vista Heights. the Boulevard Addition, and part of the Gorge Addition"
 The proposal is that the extension approved by the council last night shall be submitted to the voters within the city limits on the next city cleo ton, and if they vote in favor of such extension it shall be made, and if they vote in favor of such extension It hal be made, and if they vote again t such an extcnsicn ii shall not he made
 Of course the bringing of snch q large territory into the borders of the city would mean an increased revenue for the city, and also it would require some property owners who are now practically enjoying all the city ben efits to come In and pay their propor- donate par of the protection of fire and police they are now receiving.
 The proposal 10 again have Valley st-eet closed up for a week by a carni- val company spread al over that tboroughfare in front of the Iron Mountain depot was before last nights session cf the council, and regardless
 of he fact that the largest patronage l tho ci.y has ever known is with us' tthero were many members of the coun'
 cn who evidently were willing that Ithis carnival company should be ih' duIsod within the down town district.
 The subject came up in request
 for the privilege of closing this street for carnival company to operate uuI ing the week of March 12. Alderman pn-paurer moved that the request pc r-a,ted There was some discussion
 or inc subject and finally Mayor NC.
