 T. A. Stahl bitterly assailed the Santa Fe for the present inadequate depot facilities, recommending that unless a new depot, as handsome as any on the line, be at once erected, the railroad be refused permission to run trains within ten miles of the city limits. His motion was seconded, which accounts for the new depot.
 Jimmie Byrnes hotly denounced the tendency of some of the property owhers along the National Old Trails to oppose paying their share toward paving the trails, and on his motion it was decided that the taxpayers should not only pay for one-half of the paw ing, but should pay for the other half also, the U.

 T. E. Pollock suggested that as the automobile association steel road and advertising sign on San Francisco street, near the depot, had been lying in the mud all winter, thereby effect ively advertising our independence of nasty-niceness to all tourists, that we immediately lay all our other signs in the mud, so as to be consistent and Iof ntIfctInrc lynntry don't n tinker's damn for appearances any way.

 Mayor Earl Slipher and Council men Rabbit, Heiser, Quay and Har- rison bitterly denounced the unusual amount of work that has recently been put on our pet stone crusher, ad- vocated that it be voted a one-year's vacation on full pay, and recommend ed that it spend the vacation in the Oak Creek section, where it could keep in muscle and avoid thirst by making believe it is a cider press. Carried, with an amendment by Frank Richmond that the half-dozen loads of rock the crusher has turned out in the last month be buried deep beneath the sod outside the city limits to remove from our sight an otherwise constant reminder of our heartless brutality in overworking an entirely defenseless piece of machinery and. thus risking it death.

The Coconino sun., 1920-04-23

At the last meeting of the Boost ers' club the various members attend ing presented their ideas of the things necessary to the further growth and development of Flagstaff. It was a most interesting meeting and every suggestion made was at once unani- mously sanctioned by the club and committees appointed to see that the work was done immediately.
 So the metamorphosis that has talk en place in Flagstaff during the last few days is all the work of the Boost CTS club. The fact that this city now has all the advantages possessed by any other city in the United States and none of the disadvantages of oth- CT cities--is all due to the Boosters club.
 Here are some of the many sug- gestions made and acted upon:
 It was proposed by Jack Costigan that all bill boards within the city limits be at once removed and the city council importuned to pass an anti billboard ordinance, with a minimum fine of $1 900 for each and every vio- lation. Adopted. The ordinance was passed, the billboards removed.
 Charlie Prochnow eloquently and earnestly urged the formation of To- cal corporation to build 10-story modern hotel on the site of the pres ent most-imposing billboards. He was ably seconded by Tim Riordan and Ali. Dickinson. Carried. The hotel is now up-in the air.
 Dr. M. G. Fronske and Prof. o. H. Richardson each spoke feelingly |, against the dissertation and spoilation of the new city park by vandal school boards intent on grabbing said park for a new high school. They adduced as additional arguments the fact that if the high school were located in the city park it would be necessary to run a branch from the Holbrook- Cooley railroad out to the school in order to carry the children; also to build a big hotel next to the school owing to the fact that it would not be possible to make the round trip from town to school and back in one day. These remarks were received with cheers and the club voted for the condemna- tion of the court house and grounds as a high school site, justly feeling that the present incumbents of the-county court house buildings can just as well go to the new hotel to sleep.
 Jimmy Lewis, of the Breen-Lewis Drug Co.,, spoke at length in advocacy of general cleaning up of the back yards of the business places here in town, saying that such back yards are disgrace to any community and a reflection on the business places har- boring them. He pointed with pride to his own back yard as sample of how yard ought tor was it ought not?) to look. The cheering was so intense you could have heard a gum drop. All the back yards have since
