Far-reaching plans are afoot for the
Improvement of the East Side, and
from the views of the situation eX-
pressed by a number of large property
| owners, especially of the large addi-
tons, the coming year will see great
building up. Besides the big improve
ments already under way for Column
| bia Heights, the plans for which COM
prehend running the 500 tracks by
way of the Heights in the direct route
from Winnipeg and the North into
Minneapolis, and the building of de-
pot in this addition for the accommo-
dation of factories, many of which are
likely to be located there in the near
future, plans for other extensive inn
provements are i'll progress. One fea-
ture of the situation which will have
Il large influence upon the upbuilding
of the entire East Side and the addi-
lions in particular is the plan urged
by many progressive business men,
and now under consideration by the
park board, namely, to build an East
Side boulevard, which shall extend
over all that splendid stretch of coun-
try in which the various additions are
situated. This boulevard, when fin
ished, as there seems little doubt it
will be before long, will complete a
magnificent driveway taking in the en-
tire park system and making circuit
of the whole city.
Judge Simpson recently filed a de-
cision in the case of w. S. Dwinnell,
receiver of the Minneapolis Fire and
Marine Insurance company, against
several of the directors, Leonard
Paulle, G.. J. Sherer, G.. ]. Heinrich,
Frank Haywood, G. II. Spencer, w.
r. Miller and Titus Mareck. The case
has been before the supreme court
three times and the receiver sought
to hold the directors responsible be-
cause it was asserted that some of
them had made a conditional subscrip-
ton for stock to the amount of $780,
600, when in reality they had not paid
for it in full, although the company
in it's advertisements asserted that the
stock was fully paid. The court held
that the policy holders could not col
lect from the directors unless they
could show they had had placed re-
lance in the statement the stock was
paid up and had been induced to in
sure in the company for this reason.
Only in the case of Laura e. Heath
erly, who had claim for $1,000, and
two or three small marine risks could
this reliance be proved, and the direc-
tors are held to be liable only for these
claims. although there was large
number of claimants who sought to
hold the directors liable for the full
amount of their claims.
