WILL NOT TAKE UP
THE CITY LIMIT
EXTENSION :.
Nearly Month Needed After
Introduction Before Final
Action

contrary to expectations the city
limit extension resolution will not
be taken up at the city council meet
Ing to be held this evening. The city
ordinance covering the taking into the
city new additions, provides that aft
er the resolution has been introduced
the matter must be advertised for
three successive weeks in the official
organ OF the city. After that time ten
days must be given the residents of
the district to be taken in, in order
that they may prepare a written pro-
test.
After the expiration of that period,
the council is required to hear the
protests of the various residents. Ow-
ing to these reasons, the extension
matter will be unlikely to be taken
up before the first meeting in October
which will be held on Monday. Octo-
Der 2.
The election returns from the Sew
enth ward will be canvassed BY the
council and the newly elected alder
man, who will fill the place made va
cant by the resignation of Alderman
Sorlie, will be installed in office.
A new ordinance will be Introduced
this evening. 1t is designed to pro-
vide a way in which the weeds in the
various parts of the residence dis
tricts may be cut by the city provid-
ing the owners of the property do not
attend to them.
A resolution for paving the alley
between Third and Fourth streets and
from Kittson to International avenue
will be brought up. This matter was
talked over by the council at the last
session and no objections were
brought forward to the improvement.
The alley is in bad condition n ia
especially 80 when it rains. It is
expected that the resolution will be
passed and the work ordered as soon
as the contracts can be let, in order
to have the work completed before
the winter months.
Outside Of the above items, very lit
tie will be taken up beyond the rou-
tine order of business.

years a member of the Theodore
Thomas orchestra in Chicago as we'll

UNION
NET IN ANNUAL
SESSION
Reelected Old Oficers-Taking
Up Sunday Baseball and
Postofice Closing

The annual meeting Of the Grand
Forks Ministerial union was held
Monday afternoon at 1870 o'clock at
the Y. NJ. C. A. and the reports OF all
the officers showed that the years
work had been very profitable along
religious and christian lines and that
the union had taken action On a great
many problems that confronted the
moral and religious standing OF the
city. Eleven meetings were held dur
ing the year and the union passed
upon two bills that yer before the
state legislature.
The old staff Of officers were re-
elected for another year and are as
follows:
President-Rev. j. X. Burleson.
Vice President-Rev. W. H. Matt
hews.
secretary-treasurer-Rev. F. w.
Walker Pugh.
Baseball and POstoihce Closing.
The regular monthly meeting work
was taken up Immediately after the
annual reports were heard and IA
vorable action was taken upon the
taking OF a religious census in the
city by the Grand Forks Sunday
school union. Such a census was
taken a few years ago but the growth
Of the city demands another at this
time and the union favored it as a
means Of increasing the Sunday
memberships.
The matter of Sunday baseball was
discussed at length but not at all
favorably and it is probable that the
union will take some definite action
before the opening of the next base
ball season.
The closing Of the postofice on
Sundays was also taken up and Revs.
F. NJ. Mccoy and j. Nelson Lentz
We're appointed a committee to in
vestigate the matter. A number of
the clergymen favor the closing of
the p%ostofice and it is possible that
some action will be taken soon for
the purpose of eaecting the holiday
for the postal employees.

MAY ESTABLISH A
CURLING rink
HERE
Norval Baptie, Champion skat.
or, in the City Pushing the
Proposition

A movement is on foot in the city
at the present time to finance and ar
range for a skating and curling rink
for Grand Forks.
Norval Baptie. who is known as
one of the best ice skaters in the
world. 10 In the city today and il talk
Ing the matter over with local fol-
lowers Of the winter sports.
About two years ago, a similar
venture was started and upwards Of
$4,000 was subscribed. but owing to
me lack Of On available location and
the fact that no capable man was to
DC secured. 1t was dropped. Mr.. Bap-
tie motored down from Bathgate with
Q friend and will spend several days
here looking ver the various sides
for ana against the establishment of
the rink. A. location will be select
ed and work will be started toward
raising the necessary funds. AL
though 1t will be some time yet be-
fore Ice will form, the matter is be-
ing taken up now in order to have all
OF the plans perfected in ample time.
Mr.. Baptie intends to invest money
In the rink himself and asks for the
position Of manager. That he is
capable is unquestioned and more
over he likes Grand Forks and would
like to make his home here. In
speaking of his plans. Mr.. Baptie said
that his idea was to build a rink with
skating on nj side and the curling
rink under the same roof, but separ-
ated by q partition. The rink would
be built large enough to insure plenty
OF room. Mr.. Baptie said that to
properly finance the proposition in
the neighborhood of $4,000 would be
required. He pointed out the adj
vantage Of starting out with sufficient
capital to finance a rink that will be
large enough to accommodate any
gathering Of skaters that may be
brought together. The plan would be
to provide ample waiting rooms for
both men and women and to run the
rink in a manner that would appeal
essentially to the better class of skat-
ers
Local men have become very in
terested In the proposed amusement
enterprise and it is very probable
that curling and ice skating will pro-
vide what there has heretofore been
little of, winter amusements out of
doors. Curling is very popular in the
cities in the northern counties of the
state and it is probable that If the
rink Is established that an annual
."bonspiel"' will be held in this city.
Suggestions were received last win
ter from men in Drayton, st. Thomas,
Bathgate, Bowesmont and other cities
saying that Grand Forks would be an
ideal place for a curling rink and
would also be a splendid place to
hold an annual tournament. It is
probable that the Commercial club
will take an active interest in the
matter.

FURNITURE FOR THE
new CITY
HALL
Selection Has Been Made And
Is the Finest and the
Best

Mayor NJ. F. Murphy has returned
from the east where he has been for
"a few days on business.
During his trip the mayor looked
over the furniture and fixtures which
have been selected for the new city
hall, and is much pleased with the
same. While they are not e%xtravagant
they are of the very best in style and
quality and strictly in keeping with
the building which they are to fur
nish.
The furniture is in heavy golden
quartered oak, except that for the
mayors private office and reception
room. For these the furniture is
mahogany.
The council chamber will have
twenty-eight individual desks. each
with a revolving chair, for the use
of the members of the council and the
city officials whose presence are re-
quired at the council meetings. The
public will be provided with COM
Portable chairs, 800 of these being
selected. They are of the latest pat
tern and are both substantial and
comfortable.
For the various offices-the superin-
tendent of water works, auditor treas
urer. city engineer and police depart
ment. the furnishings consist of such
tables, desks. chairs and accessories
as the business of each department
requires. Rugs for the offices are in
cluded in the purchase so that each
office will be not only we'll equipped
for the use for which it was planned.
but will be q credit to the city as
we'll.
The furniture will not be shipped
until the building is ready for its in
s%tallation. which will probably be a
month or a month and a half yet.
