Mr. McCrary was most enthusiastic over this prospect when mak- OKEH PLACED ON SPECIAL ACTION TO RATIFY SUFF IN TENNESSEE Governor - Informed He Can Call Legis- lature to Vote on Amendment (By United Press) WASHINGTON, June 21. — The attorney general’s office at President Wilson's request today informed the governor of Tennessee that he can legally call a special session of the legislature to act on the federal wom- an suffrage amendment. Wilson pre- viously had sent the governor a Iet- ter requesting the legislature to pass the amendment for the good it would accomplish for the “Democratic party and the nation.’ The Tennessee constitution _ pro- vides that = special session of the legiviature cannot act on any issue unless its members were elected in a campaign in which such a question was an issue.

The plan proposed would route the drive along Second street to Elk street on the east, thence through the city park, and south on the Elkhorn rokd toward the Wilson ranch, now the county farm, to the rim_of-the hills. at’ One timé surveyed tor,a railroad to the Mountains. This rim provides a-natu- ral grade to the mountains and the soil is excellent road material. Circling the base of the mountains, the new road would join the present mountain road and the return to Casper would be made along the Garden Creek road. At one point on the route of the Proposed road it is possible on a clear day to obtain an unobstructed view of the Big Horn mountains, to see the smoke of operations at Salt Creek and to view Casper in perfect panorama. Such an “Qbservation Point’? would be a splendid vantage spot from which to yoint out the beauties of the country to the visitor in this section. While not as largely attended as had been anticipated, this final forum meet- ing before the summer recess proved in- tensely interesting to all present. Importance of City Planning. Mr. McCrary stated that the import- ance of city planning has only become apparent in the past century and that the greatest strides along this line have been made since the Chicago World's Fair showed to visitors from all parts of the country just what could be done in the creation of beauty spots by careful planning. The world’s fair was the inspiration for the Chicago city plan, first put forth in 1908 and designed to form a working basis for Chicago improve-| ments for 50 or 75 years to come, Near: ly one-third of the improvements pro- jected in that plan have already been made in Chicago, including the Michi- gan avenue viaduct and bridge over the Chicago river, the widening of Twelfth street, the connecting of the, boulevard and park system, and the gradual creation of wooded islands along the lake front. The Chicago city plan is studied in every public school in Chicago that future generations may be familiar with the work projected! and strive to put it through. +The inconvenience of the street plan} of New York city where there are few! north and south streets and tuo many} east and west streets due to the ir- regular block plan was pointed out. Mr. McCrary mentioned the advant- ages of the plan ef the capitol city— Washington—a plan worked out by a famous Frenchman when the. capital vas first established and followed through all these years. It is one which! is ideal for a goverhmental city, the radiating avenues providing long vistas tor viewing the public buildings. The same plan was followed when Paris was rebuilt under Napoleon III. Casper’s Possibilities Outlined. In speaking of Casper, Mr. McCrary spokes first of the need of shrubbery and shade trees. He urged that trees be planted in all parts of the city at once, and stated that the matter should not be up to the property owner alone. He cautioned sagainst planting trees too close together, especially where {Continued on Page 38) Crihune ~ CASPER, WYO., THURSDAY, JUNE 24, —_—.. 1920.
