loyalty az late az last week when he
made a trip to Denver to see about
entering the aviation section and
giving his services to Uncle Sam. He
was trusted official, a firm citizen
and a friend who was an asset to

was adopted:
"whereas, The Colorado & South

Ing the discontinuance Of all passen-
ger service between Black Hawk and
