that he was not opposed to this
Improvement and that five years
ago when 1t was started he was for
1t and Is for it today. At the time
the matter first came up five years
ago, the engineers of the railroads,
the city engineer and city attorney
designed the improvement and
when 1t was found out what the
work would cost, decided not to do
IL at that time, although all the pre-
Hminary work had been completed.
He said the resolution offered at
Monday nights meeting of the alder
men to his mind was a strike" bill
to give the city engineer and city at
torney something to do. He asked,
why start at the beginning and do
the work all over again, when all that
Is necessary Is to take up the pro-
ject where it was left off five years
ago?" According to the paper"
said Clark. Il am opposed to. the
project" II am opposed to 1t when
1t Is proposed to start the project all
over again and won't stand for it,
Clark wants the work started where
1t was left off five years & SO as to
save the city the added cost of doing
the entire work all over
He said Wilson at a meeting re-
Gently said that he would have more
money provided IL elected mayor for
the use of the parks and Fairgrounds.
