ADDRESSES THE RoTARIANS

The Register is in receipt OF copy
of the Grand Junction, Colo, Sentinel
in which we find a very deserving com
pliment to the former pastor of the
First Presbyterian church of this city.
In speaking OF a particularly fine
MONDAY meeting of the Rotary Club,
it says: THE Rev. w. A. Mast, new
pastor of the Presbyterian church,
gave 15-ninute talk on The New
Efficiency" a term by which he desig-
mated an efficiency that is not that of
the time Of Schonephauer, but belongs
TO a world that has been made new by
war His appreciation of the great
principles of rotary, and his applica-
ton of them in his talk, made his
speech one of the most timely and
interesting that Rotarians have been
privileged to hear. The new pastor
is q splendid addition to the ministry
of the city, and those who heard him
informally today will be glad OF
further opportunities

 Want Park Repaired.

Want fark Repaired.
 Chairman Ernest x. Humphrey pro- Guced a letter from the park commits sion which was read to the meeting bE Secretary Leon A. Sprague. The com- munication called for $500 to be placed in the hands of the city comp troller for the repair of the park, surh h as filling in post holes, seeding the section of the park trodden down by patrons of the carnival and re-sOdding in some sections. The commission cX- plained that it was not very likely that such d sum would be spent for this work and agreed to keep an ac- counting of all the expenses, whatever part of the fund that remained to be turned back to the carnival committee. M em bers of the committee who had been in the park since the carnival left the city expressed their belief that the work would not cost more than $500. It was the sense of the meet ing that the chairman of the commit tee should write the park commission and ask for specifications upon the work needed. With these specifica- tiOns the committee plans to have ;t contractor handle the job and in that way save money. It was felt that the payment of $1 300 for that work now, even though a part of it was to be re- turned later, would take from the re- port
 Superintendent of Parks R. R. Wainwright came in for a round of criticism for his attitude during tho celebration. Had it not been for the fact that he refused to lend a helpin g hand in keeping the park in shape, Chairman Humphrey said, the cXI penses of repair would not have been nearly as large. The chairman further said that Wainwright adopted the atti- tude of 'Y ou put the thing there, now take 1t away yourself.'
 $SO6.95 for Sign Board.
 After a brief discussion, Treasurer Loomis was ordered to pay the bill Of $SO6.95 for the sign board opposite city hall. The bill. has been outstand- ing for more than five months but because of the fact that the commit tee had been instructed to have it erected at a cost not to exceed $500 and the board had really cost over $500 more. their report was held up. It was explained that the design on top of the board, the carved eagle, had been mainly responsible for the price believed to be eXC-Ditant.

 letter vas received from Mayor Qulgley with reference to injuries sus- tained by Mrs. Walter Wilfred when she alighted from the merry -go-round She asked for $50 to pay the expenses caused by injuries. The claim was referred to the corporation counsel. Secretary Sprague inquired as tt what could be done with the some 1. 2,OO0 programs left over. The com mlttee authorized him to consult Su- perlntendent of Schools Holmes fol the purpose of determining q method of distribution among school children gratis.
 \ vote of appreciation for the police was authorized and Secretary Sprague ordered to communicate the thanks o1 the committee to the police commis SlOnerS and the chief of police.
