Fred A. Dunham, chairman of a com

call for tha meeting. In talking of the

"It appears that a block on th waat
Ida of th river In any desirable loca

- than a block will be large enough. This
would not leave a aufficient aum fpr
the building.

from national conventions.
"This being true. It would inm th

tha car lines, where most convenient for
the people of the city. Th eaat aid
bas much the larger population, and
Will continually grow In proportion.
:"So we think, other considerations be
ing equal, the east side should be ser
iously considered as a site for the au

- Is called for the purpose of talking tne
matter over and deciding what further
steps should be taken, If any."

The penalty for each violation Is $100

necessary to carry two brakemen and a
flagman on a full train or a flagman on
a light engine, causing an unnecessary
expense of $60,000 a year.
The Great Northern brands tha law
as unconstitutional, claiming it de
