Five years ago Britt asked that the
matter be submitted to the people for a
vote, but Garner fearing, defeat at the
polls. checkmated this plan and the mat

the Garner people sought to strengthen
their position by building railroad from
Garner through Crystal Lake and termin-
ating at Wooden, later extending to Titon-
ka, in kossuth county. This was sue.
cessful project and had much Influence
with the people. 1t would have won votes

TROUBLE OVER TOWN HALL
Building at Excelsior Likely to Be Sold at
Public Auction

Public Auction.
EXCELSIOR. MINN.-The dispute re-
garding the town hall has not vet been
settled. The township owns seven-n inths
of the property and the village owns two
n1nths. This arrangement has proved
unsatisfactory for some time, and the
court ordered the hall to be sold at public
auction on Jan. "a.
The prevailing sentiment among bust
ness men was in favor Of the village buy
= Ing the hall, and a committee was chosen
to determine what course to pursue. This
committee held several meetings and de-
cided to offer the township $4,000 for its
share.
The best offer which the township
seemed willing to make the village, how
ever, was $3.50, and with this offer was
condition that the township should be
entitled to free use Of the hall for a period
of three years, while the village should
pay the insurance and all other expenses
The village committee will not accept
this proposition. as it appears to be a
poor investment 1t prefers to buy a
lot and build a hall. In fact, it has al
ready selected a suitable site and is es-
tmating the cost Of a new building
Meanwhile, as no private: settlement OF
the difficulty seems possible. the building
will no doubt be sold at auction
