COUNCIL BUYS. AFRANCE ENGINE:
Liquor License of Virginia Brewery IS
Turned Down Upon Request of
Alderman Mattson. -,

The council at the Tuesday eve.
ming session continued it's policy of
progression by the purchase of
LaFrance full size fire engine, the
price paid therefor being $5,575.OO.
The only other bid submitted, for
an engine was from the w. S. Mott
Company, at price of $4,000, but
the committe decided the LaFrance
Engine presented features which
recommended it's purchase.
The resolution passed at the pre-
vious meeting granting to the Vir-
ginia Brewing Company a liquor
license for a saloon in their brewery
block, was rescinded upon motion
OF Alderman Mattson, who contend
ed at the time of the passage of the
resolution that the action waa
wrong and that the council had no
authority to grant license outside
the saloon limit as established.
d. W. Freeman and other proper
ty owners in blocks Nos. Il and q,
at the west end of Chestnut street,
petitioned the council for the extern
zion of the patrol limits to cover
these blocks and for the extension
of the limits wherein intoxicating
liquors may be sold. This petition
was referred to committee but will
doubtless be granted, it being rec.
ognized that the cQngested condi.
ton of Chestnut street needs an
outlet from the over.supply of ga
looms.
Fire Chief Thayer submitted his
annual report, including several
recommendations, which was &C.
cepted and the recommendations
referred to the committee on fire
and fire department.
The street commissioner reported
that the new winter road to Gilbert
had been sufficiently cut out as to
permit of driving, and that he him.
self had made trip over the same
and that the road was in shape to
be opened to the public so soon as
provision had been made for a cross
ing of the D., NJ. & N. tracks.

end of the profit. sharing plan tor

having obtained the work for two.

Enterprise scribe, who have held

itors the fret of the week, making
their annual pilgrimage in behalf
of the tax-payers of the county and
entering bid, in conjunction with
the Miller-Davis Company of Min
neapoiis. for the county blanks and
printed stationery. Realizing that
the bid would resolve itself into a
case of dog eat dog" the range del.
egation figured it out that they
wanted the work-not for profit but
for the sake of having the work.
and entered their bid accordingly.
1t also became evident that the Du.
luth crowd, who formerly held up
the county for thousands of dollars
per year on this work, figured the
same way-and they got the work,
there beng difference of IS cents
on bid of upwards of $1,000 in tav

being awarded Fred. II. Lounsberry
at $2O22.3O.
And while the range boys did not

pay upwards Of 80 per cent of the
taxes of St. Louis county they have
right to cut in on the bid for such
work. This assumed right has been
denied by the Duluth printers, but

this county and will continue to be
