DISCUSS HOUSING
OF WARSTUDENTS
At c. c. MEETING

At the meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce last Friday night there
was much discussion as to the best
method of securing housing facili-
ties for the several hundred ex-
soldiers and their families who are
coming here to attend the A. and
VI. College as war students.
About one hundred families or
more will have to be provided with
homes, and as the house problem in
Starkville has been at an acute stage
for some time, a "tent city" was dis
cussed at the meeting. 1t was sug-
gested that grounds for this project
could be secured near the College
and tents or portable houses could
be secured from the government.
A committee was appointed to
take up the matter 1T once.
The committee has been busy all
the week getting in touch with the
Federal authorities IN regard to Sc
curing portable houses for building
this 'tent CITY," If the committee
fails to secure the houses from the
government they will take up the
tent proposition again.
These students are arriving every
day, and it is estimated that there
will be three hundred and fifty new
ones here this year.

CITIZEN SUGGESTS EXPRESS
COMPANY PUT IN TELEPHONE

81 would suggest" said citizen
to the News man, "that the matter
of telephone at the express office
be taken up with the proper author
tiles. 1t can be had for the asking
and besides the law requires the ex-
press company to have a telephone,
and to call for express packages any
where in the city limits. 1t would
be of great convenience to the pub
lic to have phone connection with
the express company and have them
call for your packages.
'The express company has recent
ly raised the rates, and the people
are paying the increase without a
murmur, and it is now up to the ex-
press company to give better service.
81 would suggest that the Cham
ber of Commerce take this matter
up with the express company offic-
ials and if they are not disposed to
have the Improvement made, then go
to the railroad commission for re-
lief" .
1--WE heartily endorse the above
suggestion.-Ed.)
