While the influenza situation over
the state is being watched with con-
siderable interest and some appre-
hension by state health officials as a
result of the lifting of the quarantine
by so many localities. it would appear
that the situation IS not only greatly
improved but shows a tendency to-
ward a final termination Of the cpl
demic.
John Tombs, who was appointed
liason representative for the Ameri-
can Red Cross to work with Surgeon
John w. Kerr of the United States
public health service, reports that all
localities where they have nurses or
have had nurses are improving, al
though there are still isolated cases
in certain of the more out of the way
places.
At the present time nurses are
sending in reports from Velarde.

IS ORDERED BY
CORNERSTONE RS
Contemplated Municipal In
provementS Demand That
We Have Plans to Follow,
Is Decision at Meeting

That contemplated municipal inn
provements in Albuquerque cannot be
satisfactorily made until a survey of
the city is completed and plan
mapped out for guidance in doing the

manager was instructed to take up the
matter of obtaining the services of a
city planner to come here and submit
plans to he followed in the future
when making city improvements. as
no paving work can be started until
complete survey of the city streets
is made. The following resolution
was passed:
whereas, it is apparent that num-
Der OF contemplated municipal i'm
provements can not be properly un-
dertaken and carried to successful
conclusion with economy to the tax

neering data is first obtained, and
Whereas, it is apparent from a
study of the maps and other records
now available to the city that proper
methods for obtaining information
necessary to take care of the future
growth and development of the city
have not been adopted, and
Whereas, Albuquerque has reached
the stage of municipal development
where future growth and expansion
demand more comprehensive survey
of conditions in order that future i'm =
| provements may not be rendered
more costly and constructed in such
a manner as to be detrimental to the
| best interests of its inhabitants, and,
| Whereas, the commissioners have
carefully studied and considered the
various plans submitted providing for
such a survey and have reached the
conclusion that such survey is essen

| Be it resolved by the city commits
sion and the city of Albuquerque that
! the city manager be and hereby is
authorized to employ such assistants
as he may deem advisable for the
