Board of Trade Takes Action On M.
G. Wizards Proposition.
Committee Of Fifteen Is to Promote
Such an Enterprise.
Father Of the Motion Makes an Opt.
mistic Address to Directors.
President Andrews Names Gentlemen
Who Are to Act on Matter.
From tuesdays Daily.

That committee of fifteen be APP
pointed by the president whose duty it
shall be to Investigate and promote
an electric lighting plant and an electric
street railway. If such an enterprise
cannot be built by outside capital the
committee is to see if it cannot be done
by local capital. Also that the commit
tee be instructed to meet at the board
of trade rooms on Monday night of next
week for the purpose of organizing by
the election OF a chairman and secre-
tary and to take such other steps as may
be deemed necessary.
This was the motion unanimously
adopted at the meeting of the board of
trade last night. 1t was fathered by M.
G. Willard, who preceded it by deliver
ing one of the best speeches on what
should be done to promote the growth
of Mankato that has been heard by the
board members for some time Mr.
Willard was in an optimistic frame of
mind and he declared that there is moth
ing impossible. There is no such word
as fail. Mr.. Willard believes that an
electric railway line is the one great en-
terprise that will start the blood flowing
through Mankatos industrial arteries and
cause the pulse to beat with more life.
In view of the action of the council in
abandoning the municipal lighting pro-
ject it is now the proper time for Man
kato to take hold and build an electric
plant in conjunction with an electric
line. The people do not need a munich
pal plant so much as they need compe-
tition in lighting, said Mr.. Willard. Mr..
Willard was of the opinion that with the
construction and operation of an electric
road other enterprises would come TO
Mankato. He read from an article in
the March number of The Review of
Reviews showing what has been accom-
plished by electric lines in the New Eng
land states. Mr.. Wizards remarks were
received with applause. His motion was
adopted quickly.
President Andrews appointed the fol-
lowing gentlemen to act on the commit
tee of fifteen. The committeeman are
requested to meet at the board of trade
rooms. on Monday night of next week

The board adopted motion which
advocated the consumption of Man
kato goods by 'Mankato people. The
action was taken at the request of the
cigarmakers' union.
An invitation to send a delegate to the
meeting of the National and Interna-
tional Good Roads convention which is
to be held at st. Louis on April p, was
read. President Andrews named George
NJ. Palmer as such DELEGATE.

They are both enjoying good health.

The personnel of the committee is
such as to create feeling of confidence
among the people that the suggestion
made by Mr.. Willard will receive the
most careful and business-ike consider
alton. Certainly these gentlemen should
be- able to accomplish great deal.
Mankato people will not be satisfied
until an electric line is constructed here.
Repeated Disappointment have not dis.
couraged those who have faith that the
right kind of labor will bring about a
desired result.
