S. W. TO CONSIDER
| SKATING PROBLEM
AT NEXT MEETING
Several Areas Suggested
AS Suitable to
Rope Off.

AStion on tne skating problem
probably will be taken at the next
meeting of the South Washington
Citizens Association. Several sug-
gestions have been offered but no
definite acton has been taken be-
cause of the expense involved. ].
N. Williams suggested the laying
OF a cement area in Fairgrounds
and parks.
John Auth. vice president Of the
N. Auth Provision Company, will
introduce a resolution requesting
police authorities to rope off Sixth
street. between E and G, and Sixth
street between L. and N, every
evening from until 8 o'clock.
Traffic slows up during those
hours, and a slight detour would
mean little to autoists. who have
been worried since the skating be-
gan, and l believe that Mr.. Auth's
suggestion is the solution OF the
Southwest skating problem"
George NJ. Yeatman. president of
the association, said
The section of o street, between
Third, and Four-and-a-half street
set aside by Capt. Sheets, of the
Fourth precinct, has not been used
much. because of it's location.
