A letter from Cleveland, Ohio,
party to Jacob Bierbauer was read,
stating that he intended to locate
barrel factory in the west, having a
capacity of 1000 barrels daily, and
asking as to the advantages of Man
kato. This was referred to the manu-
featuring committee.

Gen. E. M. Pope, from the trans
portation committee, reported that
the committee had met and agreed
upon complaints against the Chicago
& Northwestern, Chicago, Mil Waukee
& St. Paul, Chicago, St. Paul, Mime
apolis & Omaha, Minneapolis & ST.
Louis and ST. Paul & Duluth roads,
| but that the committee had held
another meeting and rescinded a part
of it's action, so that the complaints
against the first two named railroads
had been withdrawn. This was be-
cause the committee thought that
only the charges concerning rates in
which the city is most intimately
concerned should be pushed. 1t is
desirable to limit the complaints to
the grain, coal and lumber rates at
present.
