son, Tenney & Co.
Understanding Expected to
Be Arrived At in the I'M
mediate Future.

A red-hot meeting was held by the
Northeast side property holders at st.
Anthony hall last night. The meeting
had been called to hear the report OF a
committee. consisting of Messrs. Schol-
berg, Hill, Heinrich and Bennett, which
was selected to wait upon Mr.. Nelson
and confer with him concerning the
nuisance resulting from cinders, SCOT
and smell from his mills. This report
was made by Mr.. Bennett, who said
that Mr.. Nelson had been seen and had
showed the right spirit in offering to
meet the property holders and with
them try to devise some plans to remedy
the evil. He was willing to do anything
in his power at reasonable expense
which promised to solve the problem.
Mr.. Nelson was very reasonable and ad-
mitted cause of action in the matter.
The gentlemen present then became
divided as to the best method to pro-
coed. Some urged that Nelson was
only trying to pull the wool over their
eyes and did not intend to do anything
in the matter. Others thought it better
to give Mr.. Nelson at least chance to
be heard. Mr.. Cayanaugh was one
especially anxious to proceed at once to
extremities. He urged and finally
moved that the matter be laid before the
city council at its meeting this evening,
which motion at once received second.
Nj. G. Brady favored the idea. Said he:
"Let ms present this matter before the
council Immediately and have passed
an ordinance covering all similar NUS
ances. And if either Of our aldermen
refuse to help the thing along we will
fix him at the coming election regard
less of politics."
This sentiment was roundly applaud
ed. Mr.. SWEET was one TO advise eau
ton and moderation. He expressed
himself as much damaged by the NUS
ance as any. but thought best to hear
what Mr.. Nelson would agree to do.
Said he:
I'VE are unable to dispose of our
property, and consequently are obliged
TO live here. | am In favor of proceed
ing in such manner that we will sue
ceed in abolishing this nuisance. Let
us meet Mr.. Nelson here as he has pro-
posed. and then if we are unable to ac-
complish anything we can go before the
council with strong cause"
Chairman Scholberg talked to the
same effect. He opposed undue haste,
and. though it not fair to Mr.. Nelson to
go before the council without hearing
his side of the case.
He said: Even If the council pass
an ordinance we will have to prosecute
the matter and who is going to furnish
bonds to stop such business, where
700 men are Employed"
Finally a vote was taken and the
motion to go before the council tonight
was lost by small majority.
During the course of the meeting F..
II. Butts. an engineer for Salisbury.
Rolph & Co., entered and said
that he had examined the Mel
son, Tenney d Co. mills, and
thought for an amount not to
exceed $1,000 the smoke stack could
be fixed SO that no clnderS or
SCOT could escape. lie had talked with
Mr.. Nelson and thought he was dis
posed to do the right thing. The meet
ing adjourned to meet again at the call
of the chairman at such time as Mr..
Nelson would be able to attend the
meeting.
Considerable blood is riled in North
east Minneapolis, and something will
have to be done sooner or later.
