.CUT.THE.W
AMENDMENTS
ALDERMAN POWERS WILL FIGHT
FOR THEM IN COUNCIL.
Petitions for Permission to Erect
Electric Wire Poles Will Bring on
the Contest-Question as to Cutting
Stone for North Town Bridge
Lake Calhoun Level.

Several petitions for permission to
erect poles for electric wires will be
presented at the council meeting this
evening and Alderman Fred M. Pow
ers has already put on his war paint.
To every motion or resolution he will
tag an amendment providing that the
wires shall be cut without expense
whenever they interfere with the
proper use of the street, particularly
for house moving. This will undoubt-
edly precipitate several fights.
Another matter which will awaken
interest will be the report of the COM
mittee on roads and bridges recon-
mending that the stone for the sub
structure of the bridge at Thirty-sec-
ond avenue N be cut in Minneapolis
instead Of at the quarries. City En-
gineer Rinker stated to the commit
tee that the added cost would be from
$1,000 to $4,000. Some of the alder
men are, therefore, opposed to the
committee report.
The council. will also consider the
report of a council committee estab-
fishing the normal stage Of water in
Lake Calhoun as 144 feet, or six inches
higher than, the present level. This
action was taken on the report Of City
Engineer Rinker giving the elevations
Of the lake for several years past and
comparison with the elevations OF

water in Lake Calhoun and the Lake

The Metropolitan was we'll filled
| with an enthusiastic audience and the
debate was hotly contested on both
! sides and very interesting. The decision
was not unanimous.
The judges were Owen P. McElm eel,
Ralph Stanford and Edward P. STAN
ford, all Of Minneapolis.
| A delegation Of about thirty-fve,
headed by superintendent Isaacs and
several Of the teachers, came from
Blooming Prairie with the team of
that place and returned after the con-
test with the laurel of victory. Pupils
Of the Owatonna high had organized
| a roOters' club and were ready with
megaphones and other noise produc-
| ing contrivances to celebrate a vic
tory. But IL was not needed and the
/ demonstration was only moderate
one on the part of Blooming Prairie,
as it was away from home and its
army of partizans could not be heard
| from.
Music for the evening was of an
excellent order and was heartily
cheered. The high school orchestra
and gIee club of Owatonna contributed
to this feature and Miss Warner and
Miss Philpot, both of Owatonna, sang
a duet.
Superintendent Merrill of the state
school for INDECENT children presided
and announced the decision of the
Judges. Blooming Prairie will next be
| pitted against the winner at Austin
tonight when the teams Of Austin

RETAILERS OBJECT.
They Do Not Want Old City Hall Made
a LODGING House.

a Lodging House.
The Retail Dealers association is
trying to prevent the conversion of
the old city hall into a lodging house
and a committee consisting of w. L.
Harris, M. l.. Rothschild and G. j.
Gutgesell has been appointed to pre-
sent protest to the city council this
evening. There is a feeling among
the citizens against degrading the
somewhat historical building to the
uses Of a cheap lodging house.
The merchants favor turning the
building over to the Salvation Army
to be used for charitable purposes and
in order to defeat the lodging house
plan Mr.. Harris says he will offer as
much rental as Emil Johnson will pay,
which is $4,000 year.
1t is a question whether the old city
hall can be used for a lodging house,
inasmuch as the new building ordi-
nance provides that all buildings over
three stories high which are altered
into lodging houses must be of fire
proof construction.
