EAST SIDE WILL ASSIST Push Club9 Show Interest In Rose Festival. Joint action on the part of the two most powerful East Side civic improve ment organizations will be Inaugurated this week for the purpose of boosting the Rose Festival. The East Side Busi ness Men's League has already under taken to arouse interest in the plan to route one of the big street pageants through the main streets on the other side of the river, and tomorrow night addresses in the interest of the festivities to be held next June will be .made by several speakers, including Mayor Lane, before the regular meeting of the United East Side Push Clubs. The latter or ganization embraces some 20 district im provement clubs, representing all sec tions of the East Side, and It is ex pected that steps will be taken to co operate with the Business Men's League in the Festival Project. Two important objects-are to be ac complished if the Festival is to be able to give the East Side districts a chance to witness the real big features of the celebration. A number of the leading streets must be put in such shape that the pageants can pass through them comfortably, and a certain amount of illuminating of business thoroughfares must be arranged for in order to give proper environment- It is almost cer tain that the whole East Side, through its push clubs, will join hands in this preliminary work, and will also do its share In working out the proposed plans for the majestic marine carnival that is to be held in the local harbor, and which will be of as much interest to the East as to the WeBt Side. A general committee composed of dele gates from both the big boosting organi zations of the East Side will probably be selected to confer with the Festival As sociation with a view of doing Its full share toward msKlng the week's festivi ties a grand success. The Festival will also ask material assistance of the East Side in the way of providing floral decorations and ex hibits for the two clays' rose exposition which will also be held during Festival week in the Agricultural building at the World's Pair grounds.
