 Linked with this proposed system of highways as great assembly chau-
 tauqua beginning June 15 and con tinuing three months. Hot Springs can, without question, be made an all the year around health and pleasure

 member Hot Springs as a summer re- sort, and there is no good reason why
 we cannot again enjoy that patronage

 In conclusion i wish to pay my re- spects to the retiring president. Mir Gus Strauss, and to the other officers and board of governors, and thank
 them in the name of the city of Hot Springs for their unswerying loyalty and the intense interest they have unselfishly manifested in the affairs
 of this city. During the past three years they have been called upon at
 all times of the day and all times of
 the night to attend meetings of vital
 importance, and have never hesitat-

 although they hold no official posa.

 There have been some delicate mat ters which required great diplomacy and business ability to execute and I
 take this occasion to pay tribute to a
 man who has met these requirements
 on all occasions, the retiring presl- dent, MT Gus Strauss He has fre- quently neglected his private Dus,- ness at a great sacrifice to himself to attend to the affairs of this insu- tuition and his reward, I am sure win
