[T0 WIDEN TWENTY-FOURTH Southwest Improvers Urge City to Take This Step at an Early Date. The sixteenth anniversary of the South- west Improvement club, one of the old- est and most Influential improvement or- ganizations in the city, was celebrated last evening in the club rooms at Twen- ty-fourth and Leavenworth streets, by a special meeting. a chance to go on record as backing the stralghtening of Twenty-fourth street from Poppleton avenue to Cuming street, and the widening of this thorough- fare to 100 fest within this district Views of W.

Following this, a committee of five, consisting of W. H. Green, W. F. Btoecker, F. W. Fiteh, Al Dresher and L. Guye, was appointed to co-operate with the Real Estate exchange and Federa- tion of Improvement club committees, matter before the city planning com mission. Among those who attended the meeting were many property owners along Twen ty-fourth street, whoss holdings would be cut by the improvement, but without a dissenting volce all agreed to support | the plan. The club backed up Commissioner Dan ' Butler in his proposed effort to make the Telephone company drop the toll rate between Omaha and South Omahs and establish the former South Omaha rate of $24 throughout the city in place of the present $30 rate.
