ministration and an effort is being
made to have the railroads affected

Jointly so greater speed can be obtained
in bringing the plans to satisfactory
conclusion.
This project differs from the McLe-
more. avenue project, in that the state
legislature has not passed an enabling
act which would authorize -~the city to
issue bonds for the construction of this
viaduqA%~aI rather their portion of the
expen4e.
Just( as Soon as the railroads can
Hgree dpon an engineer the matter will
be actively taken up and all the plans
worked out and the bill will doubtless
be. presented at the regular session of
the legislature asking authority for the
issuance of the necessary bonds.
Seyeraf railroads are affected, as
the viaduct would span the tracks used
by the Frisco, Southern, N, c. & St
l.. and L. & N. railroads, as well as the
Union railway tracks.
The mayor has taken the matter up
with the several railroads and has
asked that theyg agree on a Memphis
engineer to represent them jointly. As
soon as this is done work on the plans
for the new viaduct will be begun in
earnest.

w. B. Fowler, city engineer. in refer
ence to the matter and although the
cost of the viaduct has increased mate
rally since the scheme was first
launched, the work win be carried for
ward to completion.
Plans for the. viaduct have been in
the Chicago offices Of the /. g. rail-
road for months, and have been studied
by engineers there. The conference last
week was for the specific purpose Of
going over some of the details with the
city engineer. The railroads have al
ready furnished the city with their
estimate of the expense for the acquisi-.
but both this estimate and the one to
be submitted to the city are subject
to revision by the commission.
Mayor Paine is very anxious to have
work started and stated Tuesday that

they will not be carried out, that actual

Judge Burch, together with the chief
engineer of the railroad, called at the
mayors office last week in an effort
to confer with him relative to the work,
but due to. the mayors absence from
the city this conference was not held.

 The presentations will takt place on Armistce Day. in a series of simultaneous celebrations to be held under Legion auspices turnout the world, thus making possible q stupendous celebration which is de- signed to eclipse anything of the kir.l ever before attempted in the United States. The Legion hopes to make the event of November II the crownins feature of the greatest of all Armistice Days-the most impressive and me morabe patriotic function in which Americans ever participated ard one designed to live in history as an epochal milestone in the nations life.
 It is planned that not only n:embers of the Legion but all cx-service per sons and :he next of kin of those who died or lost their lives in battle, will join their comrades and their country men in q united tribute to the spirit of America and the anniversary of the day in 1918 which marked the Spiri-'s supreme achievement.

We want it to be tribute above all else to our country and our flag and the flags of our heroic allies.
