To Improve Exposition Approach. . The necessity of having Twenty-sixth street Improved between Thurman and Vaughn streets was sujected to consider able discussion. At present, there is a measure before the City Council for tho Improvement of this street with gravel. It was the opinion of board members, how ever, that asphalt and cement should be used, as thifj street leads up to the main entranco to the Exposition, and should be made as presentable as possible. Meas ures are to be taken to have the resolution now before the Council for gravel Im provements recalled. Which periodical 1b to be the official or gan of the Exposition was discussed, and the matter was referred to the commlttco on press and publicity, with power to act. The directors heard "a letter from Con gressman Francis W. Cushman, pledging his support to the approprlaUon measure and assuring the officials that he would do everything In his power to have the bill passed. Congressman Cushman's letter Is as follows; Tacoxna, Oct, 14. Board of Directors Lewis and Clark Exposition, Portland, Or. Gentle men: The members of the Tacoma Chamber of Commerce have handed to me a copy of the resolution recently passed heartily indorsing the Lea-is end Clark Exposition, and request ing the Concrceslonal delegation from this state to give their mo6t hearty support to the bill to be introduced In tho coming Congress, providing for an exhibit by the Government at that Exposition, and also for a Federal ap propriation to aid la the Exposition. I would also add that the members of our Chamber have, In addition to their formal resolutions presented to me, requested me In person to make an active effort In this con nection, as one of the greatest undertakings for better advertising the whole Northwest, and Incidentally for the perpetuation" ot busi ness and commercial friendship between the City of Portland and the City of Tacoma. I shall be happy to give my very best efforts In your aid. Most cordially yours, FRANCIS W. CUSHMAN. Reception to Rctnrnlnn; Pavtor. The lecture-room and parlors of Graco M.
