Discussion brought out. that the ease by the city to Alton Motor loach Terminal, has" not een signed.

Opinion was expressed that the delay was caused by he fact that an ordinance for the easing of the properly is still to be Irawn up. Several members re- ected this Idea, however. John C. Fallon pointed out that as yet there Is no ordinance prn- nbltlng on-street loading of Intercity buses. He said that he under- wood that such an ordinance would M'obably be enacted to force bus Ines going through Alton to use loading areas, thus re- ieving in some degree the iraffic and parking problems.

A committee was urged to push he project of an inner belt hlgh- vay which would skirt Alton from North Alton to east of the city. W. Godwin reported plans for the four-lane highway into North Alon were nearing completion and he highway apparently soon will be reality. For this reason, Godwin said that the project of the nner beltlinc highway should be pushed as much as possible to prevent a traffic bottleneck at North Alton. Dr.

C. E. Trovilllon, a guest at the meeting, emphasized the importance of I he completion of the McAdams highway. He explained that, the highway would be an Integral link in a system that would extend from I he source of the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. The McAdams highway, he added, also would be a part of a beltllne system for Alton.

He complimented 1he association for stressing the importance of unity among civic groups for the betterment, of Alton, and pointed out that the lack of recreational facilities in St. Louis will lead more and more St. Louisans to come to Alton and Alton lake for recreation. The McAdams highway will give to these people, and to Altonians, a gateway to Marquette State Park, the largest in Illinois, and to Alton lake, the largest, recreational body of water in the vicinity. The East Enders discussed the Upper Alton Buy Mr.

thd Mrs. Byroh Muehleman. operators of Windmill Cafe, have bought the residence at 1906 Washington and will take possession as soon as the former owners, Mr. and Mrs. Norman Jones, vacate during the month.

Muehleman plan to sell their present home at 3535 Omega. The house they have bought was built 53 years ago oy E. J. McPhllllps for his bride, Miss Lotile Dixon. It was later bought by Ben Schlansker, for his bride, and remained their home until il was sold to Mr.

and Mrs. Jones a few years ago. Here's Another Wuy The person In Upper Alton who is sometimes thrown, off balance, briefly, by-ways in which folk answer the" telephone reports new one today. Yesterday she dialed a number. The first sounds that came over the wire were, "For whom does this bell toll?" After swallowing her chewing gum, she gasped out the name of the person wanted.

She htvd been left stuttering other limes by such greetings by a cooly indifferent voice, "Well, it's your nickel," and again brisk business-like voice, "So-and-So's Mortuary.

The association has taken steps to lease the Hapgood property from the YMCA as a parking lot for the East End. This year, $1500 will be provided by the city for an east end parking lot, and $3000 will be alloted for the downtown lot at. Uncle Remus park. George Roberts objected to the proposal of the parking lot, indicating that, perhaps the city should give some attention to cleaning East Broadway. He asked why the Hapgood property was chosen, alleging that the parking lot there would serve only a few businessmen.

President William Roller pointed out that because of the widespread nature of the East End business section, perhaps other parking lots in East End could be provided and that leasing of the Hapgood property was just an initial step to get. the off-street parking in the East End started. Roberts asked for a definition of the dividing line between the East and West Ends, for the purpose of dividing the percentage of parking meter receipts. No definition was forthcoming.
