BObS Up Again

At the council meeting last
evening very spicy letter from W.
A. Loveland of Minneapolis was read
which related to many things in
general relative to the welfare of the
city, but particularly to the con-
tract entered into two years ago by
the council for the purchase of q
site for a municipal lighting plant
and fowage rights on Sioux River.
Since that time one payment of in.
terest has been made but nothing
has been paid on the purchase price
which was something like $4,000. 90.
The idea of municipal light plant
has rather died out and the city now
don't seem to ha We much use for the
site. Mr.. Loveland in his letter
intimated that unless the city lived
up to their part of the agreement
that the matter might be taken to
the courts.
