During the time that the polls were
open the members Of the club held a
very short meeting. Mr.. AmerIand.
representing the Real Estate exchange
asked the club to consider a PROPOSE
| ton of giving a sum of money for the
Interstate fair as premiums for county
farm products.
w. A. Scott, the president OF the
f21T
meeting and explained the finances of
the fair.
He stated that the association need
ed $4,000 more to finish the proposed
work at the fair grounds, and that IL
was in no way situated to increase its
prizes Already he had arranged for
the fair association to overdraw its
account to have some operating ex-
penses until the fair.
Mr.. Scott stated that the fair was
backed by the people who did the ex-
hibiting. The expenses Of the fair
itself came solely from the gate re-
ceipts. The grand stand was expected
to pay for the horse racing purse, and
IN his best business judgment. he was
not able to see how the fair association
could be expected to raise any more
money TOT premiums
On the motion of r. S. Lewis the
commercial club decided to give SITS. |
left over from the Roosevelt celebra-
ton last Labor day, to the fair assoc |
citation. This money will be expended |
for the premiums on the county farm /
products and the Real Estate exchange
will take the matter in hand to see
that big exhibit is displayed.
The commercial club received an in |
vitation to have a Fargo float In the |
industrial parade Of the Minneapolis /
Civic celebration, the parade to be /
given July z. II was suggested by the |
Minneapolis people that the Arab pa /
troll of the local Shriners be in the
parade, as the patrol would pass
through the city that day. The matter
was referred to the special train com
mittee having charge of the trip to
Rochester, when the Shriners 60 to
the national meeting.
DIworth Car Line.
II believe that we can push the
street car line to Dilworth If the mat
ter Is put into the hands of a proper
committee" said Morton Page in intro
ducing the proposition of establishing
a street car line to Dilworth from
Fargo and Moorhead.
Mr. Page was of the opinion that
the street car company could be in
duced to extend its lines into Dilworth
when the N. p. cuts off it's special
train service to the little railroad
town, which viii be the first OF next
year. He thought that suitable plan
could be worked out to have the street
car company take up the matter and
lay the line.
1t was suggested that an addition to
the franchise of the company be given
to induce them to extend their line.
With this as an inducement 1t Is hoped
that the stockholders OF the Fargo g.
Moorhead Street Railway Co. will see
at to extend Its line to Dilworth If
this is accomplished by the CONNER
cial 1t will be we'll worth the effort as
u VIII mean that the population Of
Fargo will not be depleted by the re-
noval of the old train service of the ,
N p. for its employees.
The matter win be left with a COM
nittee OF Ave men who will take up !
me proposition with the city and COM I.
nercial administrations OF Fargo and .
Moorhead and the officers OF the street !
.ar company.
