CIVIC LEAGUE REPRESENTATIVE
EXPRESSES HIS IDEAS OF ONE
APARTMENT HOUSE
1T WILL JUST BE BoYCoTTED"
Ladies Will Await Further Action
of City Fathers in Relation to
the Summit Avenue
Edifce.

''You see it's been so warm and then
there have been so many things going
on this week, weddings, you know, and
other social affairs. and besides we
thought we'd wait and see what the as
Semblymen and the aldermen are going
to do about it.
The indignation meeting of the
Woman's Civic league, scheduled to be
held last night at the Commercial club
didn't materalize and the member of
the league quoted above was explaining
how it didn't happen.
'Of course" she went ON energetically
eve think it's perfectly horrfd that
another apartment house should be
erected on Summit avenue. Certainly We
will each do our best to arouse public
sentiment so that Buffalo man won't
think of doing anything so atrocious.
Fancy having another Of those great,
staring, ugly buildings almost bobbing
over the pavement on our beautiful ave-
nuel OF course, If the man lived in St.
Paul ne wouldn't think Of doing such a
thing. I presume it's simply cold, hard
business proposition with him. Now,
woman, even an outsider, wouldn't think
of committing such a crime. for 1t IS
a crime. Men are so material and
think they're becoming more so every
day They are all like that man in
into town lots the cemetery where his
mother was buried. If the aesthetic side
of boys nature was developed as care
fully as the aesthetic side of girl s
nature his bump Of reverence would be
larger. Though really it's a question Of
ethics as well as aesthetics. If you
promise not to use my name in connee-
ton with this. I will tell you what L m
pretty sure will be done In case that
u sTsfY 0cTNf
house. 1t will just be boycotted. The
matter has been talked over among the
people up here on the hill a number Of
times though informally you know, and
everyone agreed that if the apartment
house went up he would do his best to
see that it remained unoccupied. Now
don't you think that would be an ex-
cellent warming to anybody who wished
to follow in the steps of the man from
Buffalo? But, really. I don't think such
an apartment house will be erected. In
the first place, no sensible business man
would undertake it's erection when he
knew that all the people of the town
were Solidly against him, and in the
second place, if he were stubborn enough
to still want to carry out mis- plan-and.
really, men are stubborn creatures-why
I think the citizens of ST. Paul will find
some means of preventing it.
The league 1ntenoS TO Work LOT Ine
passing Of an ordinance or something of
that sort-I don't know just the correct
legal term for it-that will prevent any,
thing Of the sort happening in the
future They say there is place for
everything in civic affairs as well as in
domestic affairs and surely the place for
flats Is not on our most beautiful resi-
dence street, Perhaps it might do some
good to send that Buffalo man monster
petition. I think every citizen in St.
Paul from a Summit avenue resident to
one of the iatters along the river bank
would sign it, for I'm sure everyone who
lives in ST. Paul loves the city and the
avenue which Is its browning beauty"
