Donohue and o. Rossler to bring the
proposition to the attention of the
company. The suggestion was made
at the meeting of the Commercial
club last night that inasmuch as the
highway between North Mankato
and ST. Peter is now state road,
having been officially designated as
such, and it will be permanently i'm
proved and widened out, it would
make an ideal route for the inter
ed the Commercial club that the
work of improving the road would
be commenced soon. 1t is proposed
to have male patients from the in
sane hospital work on the st. Peter
end of the road. They enjoy the
work and it is beneficial for them
to get the exercise.
Mr.. Donohue was not favorable
to giving up portion OF the road
to an interurban railway, and advO-
Gated that the road be made into
a handsome driveway. However, the
motion to appoint the committee to
confer with the company prevailed.
Action was taken by the club
looking to the building of a second
bridge over the Minnesota river.
This proposition created spirited
discussion.
A motion to have a committee ap-
pointed TO confer with a committee
from the Mankato Commercial cluD
to the construction of a sec
ond bridge was carried. The COM
mittee is made up Of Henry Robel,
Dennis Donohue and Emil Rohde.
