CONSTRUCTION OF UP.TO.DATE
GOLF COURSE IN RAWLIES

For several years past the Rawlins

ship OF approximately fifty, has
maintained l n the Park Hill addition
two excellent tennis courts.
The question of securing some
land adjacent to the city and con
structing an u~p-to-Hste golf course

the club many times but heretofore
there has not seemed to be sufficien,
demand from our residents to Just
ify the outlay OF money which would
be necessary.
At a meeting OF the members OF
the Country Club held last Friday
night IL was decided to make n
thorough Investigation and II at all
possible to have constructed this
summer n golf course.
The first step necessary TO be
taken before this could be done
would be to change the bylaws of
the Country Club so that more mem
beers could be taken In and also TO
chaTTc n much higher membership
fee upon Joining and also charge
higher dues. II n golf course Ii found
feasible this action will be taken by
the Country Club and the books VIII
be opened for new members.
Within the mex week n landscape

will thoroughly Investigate tho sur

upon this architect will then lay out

Tn. dead man was fully clothed ana
Il was evident that he had Just fin-
i-hcd cleaning out tho ashes to h
stove when he was stricken. This
fact coupled with tho absence OF any
recent tracks about the door OF h
cabin Indicated that ho had died
either Friday evening after hc had
returned from work or Saturday

cleaned out tho stove preparatory to
cooking breakfast.

Another need OF the city OF Raw

For many years Rawlius has boon
tho poorest lighted city OF ~ size

tom for tho city has always been
blocked. At various times different
business mon have put In ornamental
lights In front OF their business
houses but no Systematic attempt TO
secure ornamental street lighting has
been carried out.
The committees from tho civic
organizations have been working for
tho past three weeks and n report
was made 60 tho Rotary Club Tues

Club today. Last night the COM
mittoes appeared before tho City
Council and were given every con-

will take arc of Fourth. Fifth. Sixth

and would BIO paid for by property
owners.

streets are taken care Of this season
that each year thereafter the city
will have additional lights installed
until eventually every street in the
