PAVED HIGHWAY To
COAST URGED BY
GLENDALE c. Of c.

GLENDALE, June 14.--The regu-
lar meeting of the Glendale COM
mercial club was held last evening
and a number of matters OF impor-
tance were taken up and acted upon.
The principal speaker of the even
ing, was Senator II. b. Wliklnsoii,
who spoke at length on a. proposeu
paved highway to the California me
and there to join the highway tnae
is to be constructed by that state.
He asked that the club sign and ad-
vocate the petition that is being cir
culated asking that this be done.
The petition is to carry $4,000 names
and will ask that the state constltu-
ton be changed to allow indebted
ness of the state to be increased 10
A per cent on taxable property. Inc
petition was signed by all members
present and copies of it left IN Glen
dale that are to be signed by the res
idents of the town and surrounding
territory. Judge Smith and A. u.
Stetson of Phoenix We're guests OF
the club and each addressed rev
remarks at the meeting and each ad-
voeated that this proposed ROAD De
built by all means.
The club was asked to cooperate
in furnishing funds for the pur-
chasing of the necessary supplies TO
build a dressing room at Glendale
Beach, on the Arizona canal, Mrs.
r f. Lewis being present and ask
ing for this. Mrs. Lewis stated
that such a thing should be done as
it would do much toward keeping the
young people of Glendale at home.
Through the efforts of l.. e.
Kingrnon. the delinquent taxes for
1921 on the government poultry farm
We're cancelled and a letter to that
effect from the county board of sup
eryisors was read. Thus the club
will not have to pay the $50 which
was necessary before the deed could
be recorded.
Much discussion both pro and con
was heard relative to the town paw
ing situation and the concensus OF
opinion seemed to be that the con-
tractor was doing all that could pos
sibly be done in the face of many
difficulties and the club feels that
ALI is being done to the best of adj
vantage. However it is thought that
the balance of the program will be
materially speeded up.
A report on the meeting of the
county chamber of commerce was
heard that brought out some inter-
esting features. Mr.. Reed stating
that the California produce was be-
ing brought into the local markets
with the idea of forcing the valley
growers down and out of competl-
tion. 1t is advocated that this
measure be looked into and work
done constructively to- alleviate this
situation.
The date of the Glendale COM
munity day having been difinitely
arrived at, publicity will now follow
to let the people know of the pro-
gress that is being made and the
mittees are making concerted eff
fort to make this day the largest in
the history of Glendale.
The question of paving between
the sidewalk and the curb in the
newly paved districts came up for
discussion and it was voted by the
club that committees be appointed TO
interview the property owners with
the idea of having the strip paved.
Glendale is to have a real band
If the plans of Professor Rozzini do
not miscarry and in order to get out
side aid, Professor RoZZini was pres
ent at the meeting and gave a very
detailed outline of what was pro-
posed. Mr.. Carriek has offered the
use of his large store building on
Second avenue for practice and the
town will furnish the lights. This is
indeed starter.
Plans Made For Community Day
Plans are under way for the First
Glendale District Community Day.
No date has yet been set by the COM
mittee as 1T is not yet known just
when the paving will be completed.
After the payment is laid 1t will take
two or three weeks for final curing
and cleaning up. Glendale wishes
to present its best appearance to its
own people on that day So that moth
ing but pleasant memory will re-
main with everyone after 1t is over.
Glendale's Community Day will be
for the people of the Glendale dis
trict. While it Is being conducted
by the business men of the city it is
not being held to entice people to
trade with them as might be sup
posed from some of the previous in
formation which has reached the
people. The business men of Glen
dale wish to give something to the
people of the district. Strange as
this may sound it is nevertheless
true. This will be a day for a gem
eral good time. 1t is planned to make
the celebration resemble as near as
possible the old fashioned epicnics
and celebrations which we used to
enjoy as youngsters in our old home
towns, There will probably be
