A NEW
CITY BUILDING
Councilmen Said to Favor
Project.
CITIZENS MUST DECIDE
Special Election will be Call
ed Soon.
councilmen Figure Materials are
Cheaper and Work Can be Fur
nished to the Unemployed.

Instead of laying sidewalks and
pavements to the corporation lin
Its, the present city council has
practically all of its plans made
to construct city hall, on the site
of the present building, to cost be-
tween $4,000 and $225,OO0.
1t was learned today that the
councilmen have been working
quietly on the proposition and that
every member is in accord with
the movement. Other than the ur-
gent need for such a structure the
project is favored because during
the exacting hard times the COM
struction OF a building of the kind
planned will give employment to a
large number of the rapidly grow
ing army OF unemployed in the
city.
III the present plans are carried
out b. F. NAPLES will introduce
the subject at the next meeting
of council and will urge that it
be acted upon at once. The plan is
favored by DR.. j. G.. Setter and w.
j. Gorton, who with Mr.. NAPLES
compose the finance committee of
council. The committee has investi-
gated the subject thoroughly and
will recommend that a bond issue
be authorized to pay for the build
ing. The bonds would expire in
twenty-five years and together with
interest and principle an assess
ment of trifle over ST would be
made on each thousand dollars
worth OF property on the duplicate.
To secure the authority to issue
bonds for this purpose it will be
necessary to hold a special election
to secure the approval of the voters
of the city. 1t is believed by the
members of council that the elec-
tion will result favorably to the
project. 1t Is probable that the spe-
cial election will be asked for and
Will be held during the latter part
OF next month or the first of March
as the members of council do not
intend to tarry any longer than is
necessary.
The councilmen think that it is a
good business proposition to build
the city hall at this time. The pres
ent structure is disgrace to the
city, they say and the money spent
for repairs and for rent of offices,
not located at the city hall, will
pay the interest on the bonds 1t Is
also said that materials can be had
very much cheaper during this pe-
riod of financial stringency than a
few years later when prosperity
reigns
1t Is planned to build structure
OF stone, three stories high. The
buildings is to contain offices for
all Of the city officials, a council
chamber, for meeting of the var
ious boards, home for the city
market. The top floor will be a
large auditorium which can be
used for public meetings.
1t is the general opinion that the
plan will meet with favor in all
parts of the city and that the pro-
ject will be taken up at once and
kept moving until the city actual
ly has a city hall.

POSTAL DEFICIT
Postmaster General Meyers Report
Shows It Breaks All Records

Postmaster General Meyer has an
nounced that the postal deficit for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1908,
amounted to $16,910,279. The receipts
were $191, ,47s,663 (being $7,s93.657
greater than the previous year, and
the expenditures $2OS,351,sS6. The de-
ficit is the largest in the history of
the postoffice department.
An analysis of the figures shows
that $9,S91,321 represents the advance
in the rate of compensation for en-
pioyees.
The normal increase in the revenue
for several years was about 9 per
cent, and in 1908, 4.29 per cent, the
falling off in the rate of grotwh being
due to the financial depression.
The postmaster general, in his an
nual report, will call the attention of
congress to the fact that he is firm
~ convinced that the special local par
GELS post confined to rural routes would
tend to wipe out the postal deficit and
would finally make the rural deliv-
cry self-sustaining, besides being OF
convenience to the farmer and a boor
to the retail country merchant"
There are now in operation more
than $4,000 rural routes, he said. serv-
ing population of about 1S,000,00o
people, and should an average of fif-
tv-five pounds of merchandise be car
ried by the rural carrier on each trip
throughout the year, it Is estimated
that $4,000, 900 would be realized.
The rate would be S cents for the
first pound and 2 cents for each ad-
dftional pound up to eleven pounds,
the maximum weight Of a package.

Visit to Sauk Centre to Look Over
the Site and Lay Plans for the
Buildings

Two members of the Board of Con-
trol, namely, P. M. Ringdahl and S.
w. Leavett, accompanied by c. H.
Johnston, architect, and Mrs. Geo.
w. Stewart, of st. Cloud, representing
the State Federation of Women's
Clubs, visited Sauk Centre last week
in the interest of the girls Industrial
school that was located here last
year.
They came in on the Winnipeg Fly
er Thursday evening and returned
to st. Paul the following day. They
came unheralded and unannounced
and it was not until they had gone
out to the site north of the city on
Sauk Lake that those interested knew
that they were here. The visitors
started for the site about eight
O'Clock.
Their visit was to look over the
ground thoroughly and secure the
necessary information for the loca-
ton of the proposed buildings. Archi-
tect Johnston was much pleased with
the location and was of the opinion
that the grounds could be made very
attractive. He will begin soon with
the preparation of plans.
This was Mrs. Stewards first visit
to the site and she was very well
pleased with the appearance OF
things. 1t will be remembered that
the women of the state took great
interest in securing separate school
for girls and that it was very largely
through their work and influence that
the necessary legislation was franz
ed and enacted. The Federated Wo-
mans Clubs still continue their in
terests, hence Mrs. Stewart's visit
here.
Messrs. RingdaM and Leayett, II
will be remembered, were here last
year together, and at that time
made a thorough inspection of the
site. At the close of their inspec-
ton here last week, they said that
the work of improving the grounds
and erecting the buildings would Ger
tainly go ahead in the spring. 1t is
the intention of the state to expend-
not less than $125,OOO in this di-
rection next year. The coming leg
islature will undoubtedly appropriate
sufficient sum for the purpose and
t. school will, in all probability, be
ready for pupils in years time or
less.

dressed the Congregational Brother
hood at its second regular monthly
meeting at the church on Monday
evening. Mr.. Secord is pleasing
speaker, a good mixer" and made
an excellent impression upon the men.
Mr.. Secord began with the propo-
sition that the cause of the present
movement among men is that men
recognize that the church is not as
strong as it should be. Consequent
ly, they stand ready to set right the
things that are wrong. The call to-
day said the speaker, is not to his
tory but to heroism. The tendency
of the mems movements is to look
inward and see what the possibilities
Of the church are. The speaker en-
phasized the fact that religion is a
manly thing and demands the best
there is in man. The men of the
early church were masterful; the
men of today should be so also. Mr..
Secord inquired if there is any busi-
ness on earth today where there is
more capital lying idle than there
is in the Christian church.
The speaker referred to the well
known fact that men do not take the
should. He inquired what percentage
of men attend the Sunday school, the
prayer meeting, the regular services.
There is much material lying dormant
that should be utilized. The main
object of the Brotherhood movement
is to get into active service the
men that are already in the church.
1t is desirable to, interest outsiders,
but the best way to do that is to
have those already there, "get busy;
the others will follow their lead. Mr..
Secord referred to the fact that men
are too apt to, let the women bear
the burdens and do the work of the
church, and he caused a smile by
paraphrasing a well known verse as
follows:
I'm the worlds broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of life; g.,
See the modern Christian soldier
Represented by his wife"
The average man is too prone to
say: Here am l; send him. He
should be willing to go himself. The
work of the church should be dis
tributed.
Mr.. Secord named as one of the
specific needs of the church the 5tand-
ing that active work by men gives
the church with outsiders. They

holds true. The men of the church
are responsible for the boys of the
church. Mr.. Secord made a strong
appeal to the men along these lines
and in his closing, remarks averred
emphatically that it is an honorable
thing for a man to take an active
part in church work. A unanimous
vote of thanks was rendered Mr.. Sc
cord for his address. He returned
home on the Winnipeg Flyer.
At the business meeting following
several matters were discussed and
a committee consisting of c. A. En-
erson, Jas. Ingram and Thos. Sulli-
van was appointed to, investigate and
report at the next meeting on the
advisability and cost of finishing the
basement of the church.
