The change will be so marked that patrons will fail to recognize the place. The Rotisserie is nationally known as a good place to eat, where none but the best viands are served to its patrons. WEST SIDE IMPROVEMENTS DEMANDED BY CITIZENS. A movement which appears to have been started by the ubiquitous and en- terprising Third Precinct Civic association, of converting the tate fair grounds into a Zoological Gardens should be given very careful attention by the city commissioners because it appears to embody very fine vision towards the future of Salt Lake City. The Lions club, represented by its committee on civics appeared before the city commissioners Tuesday and asked that the big animals in the Zoo in Liberty park be given better living accommodations. Attention was called that a lion had died owing to lack of accommodations. This brought action immediately from the Lions who always look after the interest of the nobility of their species. But the movement started by the Lions should be considered in the broader light; for it appears that all the animals should be considered. They need bigger quarters than Liberty park can possibly afford and the necessary room may be found at the State Fair grounds which is closer to the heart of the city than the present habitat of noble beasts. President E. E. Rich of the Third Precinct Civic association was present and heard the presentation of the case by the Lions club. He offered the suggestion that the growth of Salt Lake City demands another big park and bigger space for the zoo calling attention that the city commissioners have an unparalleled opportunity just now of taking advantage of an offer of the board of directors of the State Fair grounds association to place the animals at the fair grounds. As a matter of fact President Rich won over the Lions committee to the new thought following the session with the city commissioners and the Lions committee have accepted the invitation of the Third Precinct Civic association to examine the possibiltes offered by the State Far grounds. Because of the congestion at Liberty park resdents in the neighborhood of the Zoo &re urging the city commissioners to find a new location for the zoo. This could best be done along the Jordan river at the State Fair grounds where there is a steady air current and where there is absolutely no smoke. It has been found that smoke affects the respiratory organs of animals in the Liberty park zoo from Princess Alice down to the delicate monkey. It may be well to recollect right here that George E. Kessler, mostfe mous city beautifier that the United States ever knew, made a very expea. sive survey for the City Commission, ers seven years ago and then called attention that the area covered by the State Fair, grounds and an adjoining forty acres just over the Jordan river has all the requisites of being convert ed into one of the most beautiful parks in America. . The fair grounds is inactive fifty weeks out of the year and the land necessary for carrying out Kessler's scheme probably would be donated to the city. Let the city commissioners remember that Liberty park has been improved up to the hilt and that it is necessary for them to turn their attention to space for another big park. With its rapid growth Salt Lake City must have such a park and it could best be established at the fair grounds, at the same time preserving these grounds for state fairs. There is a tremendous amount public sentiment just now for the improvement of the state fair grounds and when public sentiment starts developing it will grow with leaps and of bounds. Mr. Mayor and Commissioners: Take that map under your arm that you paid Kessler a handsome price for and mi down to the fair grounds and look over the premises. Paving of North Temple street to the river will make the fair grounds awful close to the heart of Salt Lake.
