March .-To the Kdltor of The Be,o: "Referring to published articles re garding th meeting of Deer Park Im provement club Friday, theso articles were In several ways misleading. We, the undersigned, members of tho Deer Park Improvement club, after a personal canvass and at tho urgent request of a majority of the members, ask you to make the following corrections'. The facts are, that at a regular meeting of the Deer Park Improvement club, held January 10 at Vinton school, with an at tendance of about IK), at which Mr. II. B. Howell waa present, a petition v.-asi pre sented bearing COO signatures of residents in our vicinity declaring themselves In favor of street railway extensions in pref erence to seven fares for a quarter. Further, a resolution to this effect was adopted, with Instructions that a. copy be forwarded to the Federated Improvement Clubs. We feel that this declaration was In itself sufficient to indicate the senti ment of tho residents In our community, and same having been authorized In the presence of Mr, Howell, would Indicate that It was Impossible for him, or any other Individual, through flowery talks, to change the views of the majority membership. With reference to tho regular altend- anco being but fifteen "members, this Is entirely wrong, as tho average attendance since the first meeting In October has been forty-flvo out of a, total paid mem bership of 150, which wo believe Is a fair average showing for an Improvement club, and this notwithstanding consider- abto opposition oil the part of cx-Coiincll. man Hoye and his. followers, ? who at a recent gathering of the Vinton. Booster club endeavored to harm the Improve ment club by the false statement that our club hnd disbanded. As 16 the Auditorium bonds, e would state that wo feel safe In asserting that the large majority of tho, members are tit favor of voting the bonds for Its pur chase, although a contrary voto was polled lest Friday through the cffort,of four or five men present who were not entitled 10 a vote.
