A CHEMICAL ENGINE.
1t Would be q Valuable Addition TO the
Fire Apparatus.

When the city gets into position
where it can spend some more money
on the fire department, very necessary
addition to the apparatus will be a
double tank chemical engine Thefre,
men have long considered the need of
this, and in speaking of the matter a
few days ago, one of them said.
"A double tank chemical engine
would be of great benefit in many
ways, but especially in basement fires.
The nozzle can be SO arranged as to
throw spray that will form wall be-
hind which the fremen can advance
and press the smoke back Without
this no fremen can enter Easements
on account of the suffocating smoke.
Small fires can be exiting uished with the
chemical engine without having to flood
everything Then again, the engine
can be used outside of the water mains
district North Mankato would prob
ably be willing to pay something toward
the purchase price of the engine if ar
rangements could be made for using it
on that side in case of fire."

man Turns Economical.

On the eve of election, the aldermen
have an economical streak, and at Sat
urday nights meeting of the council
little SO and So bills for telephone mes
sages sent by policemen to try to inter-
cept criminals and for poor washer
women who scrubbed out the city hall
were held up, while $1,000 worth of
other bills were passed without ques
ton. After two years of almost I'M
PARALLEL prodigality, the present coun-
Gil feels little twinge of conscience
just at time when the people have
another chance to say who shall serve
another two years, and who shall stay
at home. Perhaps the voters will be
deluded by this eleventh hour show of
economy and perhaps they will not.
All of the Aldermen were in their
seats and Vice-President Petersen pre-
sided.

CARRIAGES GALORE.
H. P. Jensen Closes a Contract with q
Factory.
Factory.

H. P. Jensen, who has been in the
wagon and carriage manufacturing
business in this city for over a quarter
of century, having dissolved partner
ship with Mr. Perrin, is preparing to do
a large business in the wholesaling and
retailing of wagons. carriages etc. His
reputation for making and selling car
riages is too well established to need
reference, as everyone who has dealt
with him knows it to be fact that he
never misrepresents anything. He has
just closed contract with an eastern
carriage factory and hereafter, Man
kato will be the shipping point for all
of it's carriages in the west A car load
arrived yesterday and was transferred
to Mr.. Jensen's large repository. These
goods are all up-to-date, and include
many carriages fitted with the new
rubber tire
MIR Jensen will look after all repair
ing personally and will at all times give
value received, and we are sure that he
will receive his share of the trade.

Bills Objected to.

The bills were taken up and Aid.
Zimmerman objected to a bill for long
distance telephone service by the police
men. He said that the chief of police
gets mileage and fees and Ought to pay
his own bills for chasing criminals.
Aid. Fowler thought that the bill
should be passed just as much as the
postage bills of other city officials.
Aid. Zimmerman objected to bill
for scrubbing the municipal court room
He said that a janitor Is paid a good
salary by the city and should do the
work, and if he don't do the work some
one should be secured who will do it,
Mr. Brown stated that he would pay
the So bill himself and have the work
done by the janitor after this.
Aid Bradley supported Aid. Himmel-
man in both these objections
The remaining bills were allowed
Aid Fowler moved that the North
western Telephone Co s bill be paid and
that the company be notified to remove
phones not provided for
Aid. Bradley moved that the extra
phones be removed in "a hours, the
company to be notified to this effect,
otherwise the city to remove them.
This was carried.
A motion to allow the back bills was
lost on tie vote and the council ad.
journed.

A Needed Reform.

Aid Fritz said that the treasurer 5
monthly reports showed that several
thousand dollars are paid out on city
warrants A statement showing where
this money goes 10 ought to be prepared
by the city recorder.
Aid Adams moved that this rule be
adopted for the next council.
Aid. Himmelman said that he had
lived all his life in Mankato and never
saw time when on the eve of election
there was not some reformer springing
up. If some of the kickers attended to
their own business as much as to trying
to find fault everybody would get along
better
Aid. Fritz said that this was not
brought up on account of it's being close
to election. He had been told that the
plan had formerly been in use, and it
had occurred to.him that it would be a
good plan to return to it.
Recorder Brown said that this plan
had been followed until the business
mems" council hadRadopted the present
plan. He thought the plan suggested
by Aid. Fritz was probably the only
proper way to do, and he was willing to
do it, although it made a little more
work
Aid Fowler favored the work.
Aid. Fritz moved to put the change
into effect, and this was carried wi. d
out opposition.
