KIWANIS CLUB is ARRANGING
PICNICS BETWEEN RURAL
AND CITY JEWELLERS

The outstanding feature of the reg
ular MONDAY luncheon and meeting
of the Bozeman Kiwanis club, held
Monday at the Elks banquet hail,
was the decision of that organization
to do everything within its power to
effect a better and more harmonious
understanding between the city dwell
lers and the rural residents of the
Gallatin valley.
To this end, Fred B. Williams an
nOunced that the club would endeavor
to hold at least four outdoor picnics
during the coming season, TO be held
on nearby farms, and to which the
city people would be especially in
vited guests. 1t is thought that the
get-together meetings will go a long
way toward better feeling between
the urban and the suberban peoples
of the valley. Two of these meet
ings have already been arranged, ont
to be held on the Christie farm VI
Bridger canyon, and the other on th'
| Slime ranch, where Mr.. Williams sal'
the springers~ are now "just rlgh
for frying" The club also plans o.
holding a number of inter-city meet

HOLD HEARING
ON AbATTO
Question of Permit in State
Street Now Up to the
Board of Health

Action as to whether a permit Will
be granted to erect a slaughter house
at 1897 to 1047 State street will be
taken at the next meeting of the
local Board of Health. This was de-
cided by the board last night follow
ing the public hearing on the matter
held at the city hall.
About fifteen residents from the
vicinity of the proposed building
were present at the meeting and in
turn each had something to say op-
posing the building of the slaughter
house. The main objection was that
the sewage system in that vicinity of
State street was in such bad shape
that a slaughter house could not be
run successfully and kept in a sani-
tary condition.
John Z. Toolan represented Mr..
Goldman, who is to erect the build
ing. He said that the structure would
have adequate sewage, pointing out
that instead OF eight-inch lines there
would be twelve-inch pipes and the
sewage would be well taken care of.
He added that the building would
not have any substantial effect on
real estate values, because the struc-
ture was to cost between forty and
fifty thousand dollars and would be
modernly equipped in every detail.
Mr.. Toolan's explanation seemed
to have no bearing on the delegation
for Immediately following his re-
marks another storm of objections
came from the State street represen-
tatives.
The delegation pointed out that
ever since the sewers were laid in
outer State street the residents have
been having trouble, and the fact
that the slaughter house would be
kept sanitary would not help the
sewage system any. The residents
also objected to the building because
1t meant that cars of cattle would be
tied up for hours near the place,
therefore allowing disagreeable odors
to emanate about the neighborhood.
Following the debate from both
sides, the Board of Health took the
matter up at the regular business
session and after a short discussion
motioned to take the matter up at
the next meeting.
