AkVADA COMMUNITY CLUB
HAS INTERESTING MEETING

The Arvada Community Club met
in the town hall last Monday evening
and discussed several matters of i'm
portance to the town anehnnDmunity.
The attendance wllbgss erge as
it should have been. gtisty from
the merchants of thiisst m, sseverthe-
less there was ea rspresen-
tation of the commuH md. and
many things of intsft hsfit
to the community - sae were
taken up.
Mr.. A. It. Barth spoke on the pro-
posed sewer. and was strongly sup
ported by Rev. ]. F. White, also a
member of the committee on sewers.
The coEamittee was authorized to set
date for public meeting at which
the matter may be intelligently dis
cussed. At this meeting plans and
figures will be presented in an effort
to arrive at a definite conclusion as
to whether it would be desirable to
go ahead and call a special bond
election. If the people do not take,
the proper interest, an electDh
would mean merely the throwing
away of money in the expense of
getting an expression of the tax-pay-
ers.
Mr.. White spoke in behalf of the
Arvada M. r. C. who are making a
proposal to erect Memorial Drink
ing fountain for the soldier boys who
went from this vicinity. It met with
enthusiastic response from the club,
and a resolution was proposed by
Judge Nc de Livesay, and .unani-
mouly adopted that the Club APP
proves and heartily indorses the plan
and will cooperate with the Relief
Corps in every possible way.
The resolution is as follows:
Resolved by the Arvada Commun-
ity Club that we heartily endorse the
efforts of the Women's Relief Corps
Of our town to have Fountain or
other monument, erected in this
place, to perpetuate the names and
memory Of those who gave their
lives or services in behalf Of our
country and humanity during the
late war, and we heartily pledge
ourselves to use our best efforts in
furnishing the same. We hereby ap-
peal to all the people of this COM
munity to subscribe and contribute
q. much Is they can afford to the
accomplishment of such q worthy
and patriotic object.
Our Public Welfare Committee.
namely, J. F. White, r. L. Newton
and A. H. Barth will cooperate
with the Relief Corps to the best Of
their ability.
The matter Of location was left
as matter that could be determined
later by the committee, in conjunc-
ton with the Relief Corps commit
tee. 1t is generally believed, how
ever, that the present site of the hy-
drant ut the corner of Grand View
and Wadsworth can be made to serve
the purpose very nicely, as it is the
most conspicuous place in town and
is the very center Of concourse. 1t
should be where it will not only be
conspicuous and slightly, but where
it would serve its purpose AZ a public
drinking fountain.
Tony Dittola, president of the Ar
vada Fruit Growers Association, was
present and requested tho assistance
Of the club in securing better accom-.
modntions on the c. 4 S. Railroad,
30 that the company could make Ar
vada their shipping point. instead Of
Denver Mr.. Dittolu surprised most
Of the members of the club present
by telling them that he ships on an
average of one car day to outside
points. and that II proper nrrange-
mcnts could be made he would much
prefer to ship his produce from here.
Mr.. Newton, postmaster, said he had
known for some time that the comp
any was doing u big business, from
the amount Of mail Il received and
sent out. and the club members are
grxtified to learn Of this new indus
try that has grown up In our midst
without many realizing Il. A COM
initte composed Of T. c. Hurst, C. v.
jackson and Mr.. Dittola was appoin.
