fremen who visited Bemidji could
camp here and take an outing while
participating in the tournament.
Al. H. Jester, secretary of the
club, was present at the
meeting and assured the firemen
that he would personally do all in
his power so assist the fire boys
in making a success of the tourna-
ment, and he was certain that the
commercial club as a whole would
gladly cooperate with them in en-
tertaining the visitors and giving
all guests good time,as we'll as assist
ing in the preliminary arrangements
and the carrying out of the plans
and program of the races, etc.
To assist in providing a place
where all the fremen who desire
may camp out during the tourna-

fire departments of north-central and

The state lands should, in my

At the council meeting last even
ing, Mayor Pogue sent in his veto
to the action of the city in buying a
fire team. The veto read as follows:
To The Hon. City Council. City of
Bemidji.
Gentlemen: l decline to approve
of the within resolution for the pur-
chase of the team of horses for the
fire department and veto the same
for the reason and upon the ground
that the price to be paid Tor said
team is exhorbitant, and in my esti-
nation the team about to be pur-
chased is not worth the sum of $575;
aud for the further reason that upon
an examination of the bid for the
purchase of a team Of horses for the
fire department it is plain to be seen
that this particular team was in
mind when the bid was made and
published. From careful reading
of the bid it is evident that it would
be practically impossible for the city
of Bem,dji to purchase any other
team of horses than the one which
the council decided to purchase.
Dated this 21st day of February,
1910.
-. P. Pogue, Mayor.
The council can only take action
by passing over the veto, which
requires two-thirds vote Of the
entire council. This could probably
have been done last evening had
there been two-thirds majority
present at the time of the reading Ct
the veto.
The chief of the fire department,
recommended the name of Gerry
Brennen as driver of the new fire
team, at a salary of SIS per. month.
