WILL LET MERRIAM PARK IN
TELEPHONE EXCHANGE TO BE
ESTABLISHED THERE

subscriptions Have Been Sc
cured to Warrant the Northwest
ern Company Going Ahead With
the ImprOvement-An Office Sim
liar to the Dale Street Branch
Will BE Open In About Six Weeks.
The Northwestern Telephone COM
pany has decided to put in an ex-
change at Merriam Park and the sta
ton will be in operation in about six
weeks. The exchange will be locat-
ed near the intersection of Prior and
st. Anthony avenues, and for some
months the upper portion of build
ing will be rented by the company for
the station, although it is the inten-
ton to at some future time erect a
building at the park.
While this step has been contemplate
ed for some time by the company, it
was not until recently that a sufficient
number of subscribers were secured to
warrant the opening Of the exchange.
The station will be operated the same
as the Dale street station, and those
living at the Park will get the same
rates for a phone as those living
within a mile Of the main or Dale
street exchange.
Under the present plan, subscribers
having phones within one mile of the
Dale street station pay at the rate
of Sc per month, and those at Mer-
Ram Park having telephone connec-
tions are taxed additional for each
mile from the exchange.
When the new exchange is opened
the rates will be the same for those
living within a mile of the station,
as at the main or Dale street eX-
changes.
The company filed a request with
the council some weeks ago for the
privilege to erect poles and wires on
Prior avenue, between Marshall and
University avenues, which will be
used in connection with the new eX-
change. The application is still in the
hands of the committee on streets of
the assembly, and some of the men,
bers of that body are opposed to grant
ing the request.
Within the next sixty days the work
of remodeling the building at Fifth
and Cedar streets and the changing
of the system now in use to the eX-
press system will be commenced. The
change in the building and the dupli-
cation of the system now in use in
Minneapolis will cost the company in
the neighborhood of 100000.

One of the three outstanding state
bonds of the issue of 1852, the first
series issued by the state. to aid the
railroad companies in developing the
resources OF Mir nesota was presented
10 State Treasurer koerner yeStel Gay
for payment and promptly honcred ry
that Official.
Two months ago State Treasurer
koerner paid the last of the outstlnd-
ing adjustment bonds issued by the
state in 1881 under a special act # the
legislature tO-take up the original bond
issue of 1859.
For some reason or other three Of
the original bonds issued in 1859 were
never presented for payment
The faded document presented to the
state treasurer yesterday by the Mer-
chants National bank was refunded in
$l,S9S.37, representing the principal and
interest. The bond ceased drawing in
terest in 1881, when the legislature au-
thorzed the adjustment issue. The
holder received just as much yesterday
as he would had the obligation been
presented for payment seventeen years
ago. There were forty-nine coupons at
tached.
Forty years ago the legislature pass
ed bill authorizing a bond issue Of
$4,O00,000 to assist several railway COM
panies which were then negotiating
with the government for land grants to
build their lines of road. The bonds
We're Issued, but the railroads were
never built. The state ignored the debt
taking the stand that no equivalent
had been received.
During the special session of 1881
steps were taken to recognize the
states obligation. The law was pre-
faced with preamble which recited
the circumstances under which the
bond issue was made and proposed
that, since Se!ah Chamberlain and
others had proposed compromise with
the state, 1t would be a wise choice
to accept the terms, while there was
no legal obligation on the part of the
state 1t was in honor bound to protect
those who had purchased the bonds in
good faith, and at the same time main
tain the credit of the state
At the extra session, which was call
ed for that purpose, the act was passed
under which the new Az per cent bonds
were issued to take up the original
issue on basis of so per cent of the
face value.
The new bonds had face value of
$1,000, 59S, but the interest on the bonds
had run so long that half the face value
with interest amounted to $4,253, 900. in
Guiding $4,000 of divers claims for
which no bonds had been given.
The law which authorized their issue
also provided that they should run ten
years, at the states option and if the
permanent improvement fund was suf-
flcient they would be taken up at the
expiration of that time.
Ten years after another act was pass
ed which resolved the governor, audi
to take care Of the $1,745, 900 which was
then outstanding
JAM l, 1892, the commission called in
the bonds, and refunded them at 3
per cent, and new refund issue was
then liquidated in the place of the issue
of 1891 $500

The ninth annual convention of the
Polish Singers of America, an organ
ization for the purpose of propagatins
Polish national and American songs
and music, convened at JarosZ's hall
Thomas and Gaultier streets, yester-
day morning. Forty delegates were in
attendance, representing st. Paul, Chi
cago, Milwaukee, Grand Rapids, Wi
mona and st. Louis.
Inasmuch as the session did not be-
gin until IL o'clock, little business was
transacted before the noon adjourn
ment, beyond preparing for the after
nCon'S work. In fact, the convention
throughout its session found little bus
mess to occupy it's attention, as its
affairs had been successfully and I'M
eventually carried on since the preVl-
Gus annual meeting, so that the gather
ing assumed much of a social nature
the delegates entertaining themselves
with singing, speech making and in
strumental music.
The officers elected for the ensuing
year were: President, l. Sawicki, Mil
waukee, Wis; first vice president,
Frank ]. Rosenthal, St Paul; second
vice president, Miss A. Rehbein, Chi
cago, Ill: secretary, M. Kucera, Mil
waukee, Wis; treasurer l. Dominski,
Milwaukee, Wis; librarian, K. Mallek,
Milwaukee, Wis; general musical di-
rector, A. Mallek, Milwaukee, Wis.
1t was decided that the convention
should in the future be held every two
years, instead of annually, this amend
ment to the constitution being made in
view of the fact that the business of
the organization did not warrant a
yearly gathering.
ciety decided to offer an annual prize
of $100 for the best musical compost
ton with words in the Polish language.
The competition is limited to the men,
bers of the organization. The compo-
sitions will be passed upon and the
prize awarded by the executive COM
mittee. e.2iz5E

that the organization had a member

the purchase of music and the instruc-
ton of members.
