Of some rather unsightly ground and to
give an uninterrupted view to all COM
ing into the city from the west, the inn
provement will also include the parking
of both Park and Como avenues. The
plans on the latter thoroughfare pro-
pose the absorption of strip
forty feet wide from Rice to Western
avenue, where the present Como park
and driveway commences. This will make
magnificent stretch of grass and tree
lined streets, with the capitol and Como
park as the terminals.
Additional to this, Park avenue. where
it faces the capitol will be widened to a
width of 100 feet and Strengthened so as
to bring it in alignment with the street
north of University avenue
The new park and the beautfying of
the streets connecting it with Como park
means an expenditure of fully $700O0 but
the commissioners are confident that the
cost can be spread over 50 wide a terri
tory as to make it little felt by the prop
erty owners. The new park would cover
territory consisting of two badly cut
up parks.

time, viii in all probability go before the.
district court for settlement in the form
of quo warranto proceedings against the
recently elected school district officers.

to the question, and that there are sew

been carried by a crowd of squatters
from a neighboring Indian reservation

8. A. Strawbridge who is one Of the
newly elected officers, says that they are
all taxpayers and that four of them are
residents of the village Of Cass Lake.
1t is alleged that the so-called squat
ters are residents of lands which were
opened to settlement under the Nelson
act and d question arises as to whether
these lands were really opened in due
form. There is also some question as to
whether the so-caIled squatters are not

TO ATTEND IN FORCE
MARSHALL AVENUE RESIDENTS
WILL REASON WITH ALDER
MEN
WANT ASPHALT BID ACCEPTED
Tonight's Meeting of the Board VIII
see the Paving Controversy
Thoroughly Dis
cuSsed

Residents of Marshall avenue will at
tend this evenings meeting of the board
of aldermen in large numbers, and will
make a strong effort to induce that body
to accept the low bid of the R. f. Con-
way company for the asphalting OF the
street Fearful of the success of the
movement that is on foot to secure the
rejection of all the bids submitted, prop
erty owners on Marshall avenue have
been active in the last few days circu-
lating petitions asking the acceptance of
the Conway bid and already signatures
representing over 5000 of the 1000 feet
to be paved have been secured, and the
committees having the work in hand re-
port that not a single property owner
approached has refused to aftix his sig
nature to the petition.
The Marshall avenue people take the
ground that inasmuch as they are to
pay for the Improvement of the street,
they should be allowed a voice as to
what the nature Of any Improvement
snail be, and as they are satisfied with
the quotations on asphalt submitted by
the Conway firm, they say that their
wishes in the matter should receive
favorable consideration. One of tnose
who has been active in matter of cir
culating the petitions referred to above,
says that several hundred Marshall ave-
nue. residents may be expected to at
tend this evenings meeting, and that all
will be prepared to protest vigorously
against the bid being rejected.
Up to few days ago it appeared reas-
onably certain that those who are in
favor of calling for new bids on asphalt
We're in the majority on the board, but
those arrayed against them said yester-
day that several of them have weakened,
and will, at last, vote for the acceptance
of +Io hi n
the Conway people, which was the low
est of those submitted to the board some
time ago.
Among the aldermen who are regarded
as certain to vote for defeTring to the
desires of those who are to pay for the
Improvement, are Messrs. Schittmann,
Knauft, Holt, Hunt and Bantz.
