PLAN FOR
NEW FIRE HOUSE
FOR |RVNGT0N
Joint Committee Advises Town
Council to Advertise for
Bids on Work.

1t was 11:30 o'clock last night before
the meeting of the 1rvington Town
Council adjourned, owing to the great
number of taxpayers present with OBJ
j~ections to the assessments for the
grading and Tagging of several streets
In the lower section of the own. The
matter vas finally referred to the tax
mi Assessment Commission, and the
hearing continued.
The joint committee, consisting Of
both the fire and water and building
committee members, who met in caucus
on Monday night to go over the plan
furnished by Architect Joseph B.
Allen, for the new fire house which t
Is proposed to erect in Colt street in
the factory district, reported favorably
on the plans, and recommended that
the board advertise for bids for the
construction of the building, to be
opened March 16. Mr.. Stats was the
only member of the committee who
opposed the plan, saying the cost, ss
estimated at $4,000, was too much. He
advocated the erection OF a one.story
building, which he said could be built
for from four to five thousand dollars.
The C.. c. Fire Hose Company was
given the contract for 1000 feet of fire
hose on a fiveyyear guarantee, pro-
vided the company would file a bond.
A petition was received from the Board
of Health, asking for an appropriation
of $500 for the current year. The mat
ter was referred to the finance COM
mittee. The question of municipal
ownership of a lighting plant was
taken up. and the lighting committee
instructed to investigate the advisa-
bility OF the project and report at a
future meeting.

TILT OVER BOND
ISSUE IN WEST
ORANGE COUNCIL
Attorney Howe Ashamed of
Towns Financial Condition.
Fentzlaff Resents Statement.

A Eordy war ensued at last nights
meeting Of West Orange Town coun-
ell before an ordinance for a thirty
year bond Issue for 1o7. 900 was passed
to pay off the floating Indebtedness.
The Democrats were aligned solidly
against thes measure. and Councilman
Fentziaff asserted that the ordinance
was illegal as assessments we're counted
IN as f1oated indebtedness. He believed
that some method should be devised
for collecting the assessments for road
work and lateral sewers.
The measure is scheduled to pass
final reading at the adjourned meeting
on February 10. After sfe7, 600 is paid
there remains s11 800 and SO, 900 in notes
owed the sinking fund in anticipation
of taxes.
IF the Council is now going to make
the people over the mountain pay for
the sewers I'm sorry I ever voted for
their introduction" said Councilman
FTeye. IF you can collect taxes for
something not a benefit then l don't
know what Ia rs are for
II. was explained tina a large num-
Der of notes ia the Orange National
Bank are long overdue, some of whom
pay as high as s per cent, and the de-
sire now is to get the interest down to
4 per cent.
-Four years ago you had an or
dinance or the books providing thai
those who had connections made with
the sewers should pay the cost" said
Councilman Brodesser, but the whole
town vas assessed. If the practise be-
gun was bad you should have stopped
it at its inception so that all would not
have had to pay"
Mr.. Fentzlaff insisted tina assess
ments could not be counted as floating
Indebtedness, and an effort should be
made, he said, to collect outstanding
assessments. He said it was not nee
essary to issue bonds for thirty years.
Councilman Read wanted to know how
the money could be collected. He did
not think it a bad plan to issue the
bonds when the taxpayers could save 2
per cent. on notes. Mr.. Fentzlaff still
claimed it wrong for people all over
town to pay the same as those receiving
immediate benefits.
Mr.. Brodesser commented on the big
amount of money owed by West Orr
ange, n was of the opinion debts
could not be paid by trying TO get in
assessments, and declared the plan pro-
posed had been carefully studied as
offering the best way out of the
dilemma. Town Attorney Howe was
asked If the new ordinance vas legal
and he gave In Affirmative answer.
TT is now a plain question Of book
keeping" he said. THE council has
passed resolutions to draw money and
notes standing in the bank in anticpa-
ton of taxes long overdue, and ! am
ashamed to state the way the towns
financial condition is now in. If a call
was made on you for the money. 1 don't
know where you would get it. The ma
ehinery will go on just the same, after
the bonds are issued"

Asked for a statement relative to
the Beltrami county fair and agricul-
ultural pursuits in this section, the
speakers who attended the fair, gave
the following interviews:
Professor A. ]. Mcclure, superin
tendent of the Northeast Expert
mental Farm at Grand Rapids:
I have watched the development
of agriculture throughout northern
Minnesota the past five years, and
can unhesitatingly say that the Bel
trami County Fair shows the great
est improvement in farm products
that l have ever seen anywhere.
The potato display is the largest
and best I have ever seen on exhibi-
ton, either at county or state fairs.
The plan to grow only four varieties:
the Early Ohio, Early Rose, Burbank
and Carmen, has given marked re.
suits. Of the fifty-three separate
exhibits of potatoes, only one scored
less than 80 per cent, the majority
scoring over 90 per cent.
In potato growing, the farmers
of Beltrami county have made extra.
ordinary progress. It shows what
may be done when special atten.
ton is given in a particular line.
Now, let that same attention be
given the dairy industry, and the
prosperity of Beltrami county is
assured. If the farmers of Bel.
trami county will decide upon pure.
bred dairy sires, as they have upon
pure varieties of potatoes, they will
in few years have a market fol-
dairy stock and dairy products that
will never fail.
AT the fair Friday there were
only two pure-bred dairy sires. Let
the aim be for so pure-bred dairy
sires for Beltrami county during
the coming year."
Prof. R. A. Moore of Madison,
Wis.,, professor of agronomy, Wis.
consin University:
The. people of Beltrami county
can we'll feel proud of it's county
fair. It has been run strictly from
an educational standpoint, and an
example set that can be safely
followed by other fairs of the state.
Farmers took an active part in
asking numerous questions from the
judges and speakers in attendance
bearing the various exhibits, and
the future development of various
lines of agriculture.
All authorities in attendance
were unanimous in the opinion that
dairying h GU | d be especially
emphasized and that Beltrami
county, with its great grass lands
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1909-09-17

and abundant supply of pure water,
could compete with the world in
dairy products.
The growing of clover by every
farmer in the county was advised,
and the introduction of pure-bred
seed grains and early varieties of
corn were commended.
with dairying as a leader,
followed by the growing of clover
seed and select seed grains for the
markets, we look for the rapid de-
velopment of the county from a
progressive agricultural standpoint"
Prof. A. D. Wilson of St. Paul,
state superintendent of farmers
Institutes:
we were, to say it mildly, very
agreeably surprised to see the
excellent agricultural exhibits at the
Beltrami county fair. The show of
vegetables, grains, grasses, and even
corn, would do credit to a much
older country.
A delightful feature of this fair
was the large number of exhibitors
who displayed their skill and the
ability of Beltrami county soil in the
production of a uniformly good
exhibit of agricultural products.
In going over many of the
classes of exhibits, we were impressed
with the quality and number of
entries, which made it difficult to
really decide which were entitled to
the prizes.
One thing, especially, is worthy
of mention in connection with the
fair: 1t was strictly an exhibit of
agricultural products, and not a
collection of fake shams. We hope
this feature of this fair can be made
permanent; and judging from the
appearance of the very large crowd,
none of them found the fair unin.
teresting.
eve feel deeply interested in
the development of northern Min
nesota and feel that this country
will make excellent, comfortable
and profitable farm homes for
thousands of good thrifty farmers.
"From our view of farm condi-
tons, in travelling over the state
and coming in close touch with all
classes OF farmers in every county,
we feel that this northern timbered
section is to be the home of small
but intensive farmers; that the
soil is highly productive is per-
fectly evident. Clover and all
classes of forage crops areproduced
in abundance, shelter and fencing
are easily and cheaply produced.
