merce to assist in inducing the county COM
missioners to assist in repairing road lead
ing from Minneapolis to Shakopee by the

consult concerning the proposed entertain
ment of the delegates to the Passenger Con-
ductors' Life Insurance association, which

THE REAL BUSINESS
for which the meeting was called was next
taken up. Mr.. Mind, from the committee
appointed to confer with the bar association
concerning the securing of temporary court
house in central portion of the city, in the
absence of the chairman, stated that two in
formal conferences had taken place, but no
definite action resulted The chamber of
commerce committee had given the members
Of the bar to understand that If proposition
should be made to furnish the Kalkoff block
rent free for two years, with privilege of a
two years lease at 81, 800 per annum, that
there was a probability of its being accepted.
This was based,. however, upon the under
standing that it would require at least S15,-
600 to repair the old court house. The loss
has since been adjusted at So, 000-a sum so
moderate that the Kalkoff block project had
been showed under, so TO speak. The re-
port was accepted.
THE COLLEGE HOSPITAL.
j. T. Wyman, from the committee on
finance, to which was referred the College hos
pital question, reported that the committee
had held two sessions at which the opponents
of the hospital were present, and hearing the
question thoroughly discussed had decided to
indorse the effort being made to retain the
institution in Minneapolis. The action OF
the committee was Influenced by the idea
that it should be indorsed as business en-
terprise calculated to benefit the city from
an educational and financial standpoint. A
similar undertaking on the part OF any school
of medicine would receive the same support.
He offered the following resolution, which
was unanimously adopted:

Minnesota College hospital has been for the past

institution from representative citizens Of an
other city looking to its removal from Minneapo-
lis to that city, said invitation being coupled

for the future continuance of the college is re-
garded by the finance committee as eminently
