Bids for Furnishing Indian Lake Gravel
for Second Street.
The board of public works Wednesday
noon opened bids for furnishing and
delivering 1, 322 cubic yards of Indian
Lake gravel to be placed on a vacant
lot on Second street, for use in i'm
proving that street between Byron and
Cherry streets. The gravel is to be
furnished to the contr actor free in the
gravel bed, and delivery must be made
before April 1st The bids were as
follows:
Jacob Effer, 80 cents per cubic yard ;
John Mccall, So cents; John Bowen,
1915 for the job; Duffy & Watts, 80
cents per cubic yard; E. V. Walters,
So cents Mankato Lime and Stone
Co., 65 cents; A. L. Daily, 80 cents;
81. A. Hurd and G. L. Paul, Az cents.
Engineer Thompsons estimate was
about rs cents per yard. His figures
as given at the last council meeting
would make the expense of improving
Second street as petitioned by the pro-
perty owners about $50 lot. The cost
of hauling the gravel is so much less
than he estimated that his figures can
be scaled down 81 a lot, reducing it to
$2S as an outside figure. The actual
cost will probably not be over $50, as
Mr.. Thompson figured everything
high, SO that the property owners

LOOKING FOR A NAME.

The six new owners of Fair Point,
Lake Madison, are unable to agree on
a name for that beautiful spot, and
have asked some of their friends to as
sist them in notwithstanding the place.
They want name that will be more
euphonious than the present one and
at the same time have tinge of
romance in it: "Idlewild " idle
wood .'Kinwood, y 'tElmwood, /"
"Maplewood, etc., and lot of In

DOCTORS AND LEGISLATORS.
They Held a Conference Wednesday
to Talk Over Proposed Law.

Senator Benedict and Representatives
Nyquist, Wilder and Norman met
with number of the physicians of
the city at Senator Benedict's Office
Wednesday and talked over legisla-
tion that is proposed by the physicians
of the state. The doctors want to
hedge about their profession with a
little higher wall than at present, in
the interest of themselves and the
public. Their proposition is intended
to accomplish the same end as the law
that failed to pass at the last session
of the legislature because it was class
legislation, favoring one school of
medicine above another. The present
law is said to meet this objection by
requiring every applicant for license
to practice in the state to pass an ex-
animation in certain branches. The
measure is aimed at "quacks' and
not at osteopathics.
The physicians explained the provi-
sions OF the proposed law to the Blue
Earth cou nty delegation and asked
them to give lit their support. The
members did not expr ess themselves
definitely in the matter, but agreed to
look into it carefully and do what
seemed best.
Senator Benedict states that the pro-
posed measure is about the same as
that which was fought over SO long
two years ago, although in modified
form.
Representative Nyquist believes that
it differs in many particulars from
the old bill, and meets some of the
objections to that.

would not be disappointed. With such
a reasonable figure as this, the property
owners ought to see their way clear to
have the work done.
Judge Porter states that if the pro-
perty owners want the improvement,
the gravel will certainly never be
hauled any cheaper.
The bids win be reported to the
council Friday night. No contract
was awarded. as the matter has not
vet reached that stage.
