With Mayor Hesse. City Attorney Stevens. Conmis-
sioner Roscoe Thomas other citizens the details of the
offer worked out with the government officials
The officials indicated that fronting Stewart

all due dispatch the improve
ment of the remainder OF said
Park Grounds.
6. The City will, under the pow
ers granted in the Charter,
change the location of the
present segregated district to
place or places outside
Clark's Las Vegas Townsite.
The City is confident that the
proposed site will meet the aprov-
al of a great majority of the citi-
zens of the City of Las Vegas.
Already at two meetings, one held
last night and the other this morn
ing, being representative gatherings,
the proposed site at some place
within such City Park has met
with almost unanimous approval.
The consensus of opinion of
those who have been consulted
seems to be that the location OF
the Federal Building at the pre-
sent proposed site will tend to
round out the business district OF
the City,

Mayor of the City OF Las Vegas,
Before leaving Las Vegas, MI.

in expressing the belief that as
soon as the site is transferred to
