NINTH WARD In The. LEAD
EAST SIDE POSToFFICE FINDS
NINTH WARDERS ARE BEST
CUSTOMERS OF ALL. -. . - T..

Proof beyond a doubt Of the remark
able growth of East Minneapolis since
last spring is the statement Of one of
the authorities att the ssSt. Anthony
Falls .postoffce station, that there has
beenSa very great increase of business
in the department Of Uncle Sans mail
this side of the river. This increase in
mail, coming and going, IS far above
the average. and while no correct esti-
mate can be made at the present
the mail distributed and sent out in
all different classes is SO greatly in
excess over that of any preceding year
that the department. feej the need of
additional carriers. Last year was al
ready banner year, but the coming
year promises to Guido all records.
The ninth ward claims the largest
percentage. of the extensive business
in all mail matter. This is due to the
many new buildings which have been
erected, to the operation of. new fac
tories, to the new homes which have
been opened, all Of which have added to
the number of residents to. a great ex.
tent. The other East Side wards do not
fall short OF q great increase by any
means, as there has been many add:
tions to the list of residents and many
new business concerns have opened uI
since summer, yet there is no DENYING
I the fact that the ninth is the ward OF
all wards which is in the lead to the
present date.

Bitter complaints have been heard
from many residents at Glencar during.

they have suffered on account of an
utter lack of police protection. One of
the residents Of Glencar is authority
for the statement that the only time.
he has seen policeman at the pretty

vicious dog had to be killed, and then
the representative Of the law made his
appearance upon a request over tele-
phone to headquarters. AS result,
there is great hue and: cry for "po-l

station the jewellers claim is located at
Fifteenth avenue and Como avenue.
Yh;s is somewhat of distance from
Glencar, as the blocks in that district
are very long and the distance between
fifteenth avenue and Glencar is about
from eight to ten blocks. The. lone
some patrolman who does duty in the
Como avenue district has been conspic-
uous by his complete, absence in Glen
car. While the PROPERTY owners 40

There has been much comment by

explanation for the preferences; how

A proof Of the growth Of East Min

high school as a fountain of learning,
is the fact that the attendance at the
high school this fall is far in. excess

Thejstaff Of teachers has been reinforced,
and particularly in the Latin depart
ment has the reinforcement been strong.
Last winter there were three Latin
teachers at the East high, and one Of
the three gave half of her time to
teaching in the French department.
This year Mr.. Webster has four Latin
teachers, who devote their time ex-
clusively to teaching the language.
The musical organizations at the East
high have not been idle, and the pupils
have found enough leisure time to con
tinue their practice. The Glee club of
twenty voices is good, better, than lit
was last year, when! it was considered
excellent. The voices are we'll bal
