MESA PLANS BIC DAY IN HONOR OF
 AR|zONA'S BAND

MESA, June 11.-At a meeting of a number of Mesa citizens held yesterday afternoon at the Commercial club headquarters, steps were taken toward the making of Saturday June 15 a great day in Mesa. The occasion is the coming of the 15Sth Infantry band for concert. Inasmuch as the band io scheduled for a concert at Tempe in the afternoon the hour for the treat to Mesa people and those of the sur rounding country, is from Il o'clock to o'clock.
 On account of the absence of shade in sufficient quantity to make con- fortable the crowds who are sure to be D, esent, it was decided to have the concert in the tabernacle, building which seats nearly 1000 people. Out side of the tabernacle are number of shade trees for the accommodation of those who do not care to go inside.
 Following the concert the band will be taken to the American Kitchen for luncheon, where the members of the city council, together with five repre- sentatives of the commercial club will act as hosts. The number of those in attendance upon the lucheon is limited. because of lack of room in the dining hall, at the time when so many regu- lar patrons of the restaurant are eat ing.
 Mayor Kleinman was requested at the meeting yesterday to issue a proc | lamation in connection with the com ing of the military band, and the ol- | lowing from his honor is in accordance with this request:
 Whereas the band of the 15Sth h. fantry, (the Arizona regiment will be in Mesa on the morning of Saturday. June 15 and will give a free concert to the people of this section, and,
 Whereas, at meeting held for the purpose of discussing plans for enter taining the soldier musicians, a num- Der of business men recommended the closing of the stores between the hours of II o'clock forenoon and 1 o'clock afternoon, (except the soft drink plac- es the hour of the closing of which was designated as between the hour of II o'clock and 12 oclock) so that employ es of the stores may hear the concert;
 Therefore I, D. H. Keinman, mayor of the town of Mesa, do hereby de- clare the time between the hours of | cloch anu CHUCK, as prIel HoludS season, and do request the citizens O the community, the ranchers of thi vicinity and the residents of nearp. towns to be present and give to tn band a real Arizona welcome.
 'I further request, if in their com bined judgment they see fit. that al business houses of the town of Mesa b closed during the hours above specified
 (Signed) D. H. KLEINMAN,
