ArVada Community
Club Has Meeting

The Arvada Community clut
had a very interesting meeting
Monday night after the meeting
of the War council. While there
Was not a great deal accomplish
ed, there were several matters
discussed and acted upon which
tend toward a more effective or
ganization in the future.
The matter of a night marshal
came up co,incident with bill
for $1,000 due retiring Night
Marshal August Boehmer. The
Community club felt morally OBJ
hgated for this amount in as
much as it had entered into an
arrangement with the town
board, whereby the Night Mar
shal was to receive so much from
the members of the club. A
chain of circumstances resulted
in deficit in the fund thus to be
raised and the club felt the re-
sponsibility for it and paid the
bill.
| Members OF the town board
present expressed themselves as
willing to put the entire burden
of the Night Marshal upon the
town and to give him larger
territory to cover so that the resi-
dents of the town would have
some benefit.
The club then decided to make
good to the present night mar
shal until next Monday night,
when action is expected by the
town board,
The town board will either
provide for the salary Of the night
marshal or dispense with him al
together and cut out this contin-
ual wrangling over such matters
which is doing our town more
harm than good.
1t is highly probable, too, that
the town will assume the expense
of sprinkling the streets and that
the main travelled streets will be
sprlnkled some two or three times
a week. The town has reached
the stages of a residence suburb,
the most desirable of any within
an easy distance of Denver, and
if our streets are cared for prop
erly and the natural beauty of
our town is emphasized by well
kept streets. the town is bound
to grow. This fact must not be
lost sight Of and it seems to be
the general sentiment of the
present town board.
All those opposed to such q
policy had best be on hand next
Monday night, for these matters
are to be settled one way or the
other.
Getting back to the action of
the Community club, it was the
unanimous vote that the business
men Of the town, most Of whom
are members of the Community
club, should refer all solicitors
and promoters Of various schemes
ostensibly for the good of the
community, to censorship com
mittee.
An agreement is thus entered
into that the merchant will refer
the solicitor to the Community
club secretary, he in turn to con.
suit the censorship committee,
and if then deemed advisable, to
call meeting Of the club to con-
slider the proposition.
This sounds like business and
| it is believed that many Of the
things that heretofore have kept
the business men in town apart.
will have been removed and that
perfect harmony will prevail.
