H The advantage claimed for this H location is that the district is bo far PPPJ from any farm, and lying near large PPPJ deposits of lime and other kindred de- PPPJ posits that would assist in the smelting H operation. The general trend of the H winds would tend to take the fumes PpH in the direction of the mountains that B r He within half a mile of the shores of . the Ukc' ""Mf """ John H.

After sotno discussion, In which Tho Citizen was nlso ask for an opinion, S. L. Chipman made a motion that we approve ap-prove of the book advertising as a Club, and give Mr. Wilson our support in his endeavor of getting, out same. Mr. Wilson stated the cost of Provo's book was between $700. and $S00. or at a rate of $25.00 per page which was to be paid for by subscribers taking space for , special write-ups, etc. There being no charge for public institutions ub the private ads would balance that cost. A motion was made that we appoint the advertising committee to decide on the exact nature of tho city's advertising and report same to Mr. Wilson should it be so decided that ho bo selected to get out tho work.
