Another Retaining Wall.
Councilman Humiston moved that
small retaining wall be added to
the present one at the Eagle Lake
hill and that the work be done this
winter SO as to be of service to pre-,
vent the spring floods from wearing
away the road. This was carried.
1t was also decided to add some fifty
loads of gravel at Bunker hill After
this trip of inspection, the council
men felt entirely satisfied with the
work that has been done along per
manent Improvement lines this sum
mer. The motion of Councilman
Lamm that this be approved was
carried.
The matter of granting the build
ing permit to the Minneapolis Brew
ing company was then taken up, and
their plans discussed, but after all
was said and done, the council de-
cided not to grant the building per-
NIT and thought it better to comply
with the city ordinance.
An order was drawn for $3.43 as
taxes on the property of the l.. G..
M. Fletcher estate, which had never
been fled This sum is to be paid

From Fridays Daily.
Following the appointment of
committee by President Frank Gran
dali Of the Commercial club to make
an investigation Of the city's af-
fairs, as suggested by f. Y. Waters
in his communication to the Com
mercial club, the committee met
yesterday afternoon in the offices of
Phillips & Hunt at the National
Citizens bank building.
Tentative plans were made for
carrying on the investigation, Judge
Lorin Cray was elected chairman OF
the committee, and f.. F.. Soaring,
who is secretary of the Commercial
club, was elected secretary of the
committee.
Meetings Will Be Made Public.
The discussion first arose as 10
the ACCESSIBILITY of having the com
mittee meetings open to the public
or not. Some thought that holding
these meetings behind closed doors
would make the people suspicious
as to the integrity with which the
committee carried on the investiga-
ton. 1t was finally decided to hold
who are interested could come and
go. while the Investigations were be-
ing carried on.
1t was also decided to hold all
meetings in the Commercial club
rooms in the city hall. 1t was moved
that the next meeting be held sub
ject to the call of the chairman.
Must Make Specific Charges.
Judge Cray reported that the let
ter written by former street Com
missioner Walters was altogether
too general and that he would
to submit another one with specific
charges, and to bring his witnesses
before the investigation could be
carried on much further. The COM
mittee will now await the written
reply of Mr.. Waters.
These meetings are to be held
much in the manner that district
court is conducted. The committee
is to be the jury and witnesses will
be called to testify to certain
wrongs and mistakes that the coun-
Gil has made.
Financial Condition of City.
Pending the reply of Mr.. Waters,
the committee will start out by find
ing out the exact financial condition
of the city. They will look over
the books, from the first of April,
1910, and find out what has been
the receipts and disbursements and
what and why such disbursements
have been made. This will include
a classified statement of receipts
and disbursements. The committee
will make a thorough investigation
and go into details in every respect.
Complaints have also been made
in regard to police methods of Man
kato. The police administration will
be probed thoroughly. 1t was de-

ings, Heller said that it would take
at least three hours, and to get six
bushels of grain, which was less
than the amount the three boys sold
to Krummel that evening, would
have taken all day or more. He
said that the boys had been forbid
den to sweep the cars at the mill
and that there were signs up prohib-
iting sweeping the cars. In the cross
examination it was found that the
boys had sometimes sold things
which they had stolen to other peo-
pie in the neighborhOod. On the
evening of March 6 when the boys
returned to Krummels house with
the three sacks Of wheat Mrs.
Krummel met them at the door and
then Mr.. Krummel came out and
helped carry the wheat into the
kitchen. In June when Heller was
in town for short time, Krummel
said that if they had not taken the
wagon they would not have been
caught.
John Roesch, a fifteen year old
boy, and Paul Fleischman, fourteen
years old, were called to the stand,
and gave substantially the same in
formation as was given by Heller.
Deputy on Stand.
Ed. Ario, the deputy sheriff, testi-
fed to finding two boxes in the
barn on the Krummel place which
contained grain. Each box was
about three and one-half feet square
and three and one-half feet high.
One of the boxes was filled with
barley and the other was filled with
a mixture of barley, oats and corn.
Then there was a barrel about one
third full of barley.
J. w. Schmitt was called and told
again of how the papers for the
arrest of Krummel happened to be
made out.
Mr.. Palmer then took the stand.
In his testimony it was learned that
he had known Krummel only in a
casual way for twenty years or
more, but that he had no grievance
of any kind or any ill-feeling toward
him. After Krummel was placed un-
der arrest he did not interest HIM
self further in the case.
Herman Krummel took the stand
i'm the rebuttal for the plaintiff.
He told of buying barley from the
boys and admitted that he had never
made any inquiries as to where they
got the barley and other things that
they sold to him.
Mrs. Krummels testimony was the
last taken. She admitted that she
told Ario, when he searched the
premises for the wheat, that she
had bought the wheat from Mr..
Ehler so Mr.. Ario would not take it
away from her.
The case was given to- the jury

From Tuesdays Daily.
An inspection tour Of all the i'm
provements which have been made
by the city during the past sum-
mer was conducted yesterday after
noon by Mayor Charles T. Taylor,
the members of the city council and
City Engineer Blomquist Inciden-
tally they noted just how the charges
made by former Street Commission
err e. V. Waters compared with the
real work done.
Three automobiles were used for
the purpose. The trip extended
through the city, around parkways,
out toward Bunker hill, the Mother
House. out to the city limits on the
st. Peter road and then back to the
city hall The gentlemen returned
highly pleased with the summers
improvement and were at ease as re-
CARDS the charges made by Mr.. Wat
tiers. Only a little blowout of the
tire on City Engineer Blomquist's
auto, while on the st. Peter road,
marred the afternoon trip.
Saw Fill on Pike Street.
The party started from the city
hall at one o'clock, and went first
to the big fill on Pike street near
the Omaha freight depot. Here the
slough hole had been filled, making
good street out of what was once
a mere dump. This made street
running from the Omaha freight de-
pot to the Gamble Robinson Fruit
Commission house, and covers the
Improvement which Mr.. Walters
claimed had cost $500. when in real
ity the cost had been but few hun
! dred dollars as all the dirt used for
| filling had been surplus dirt, with
| the hauling as the only expense.
This will now afford good place
for a sidewalk.
Visited Brewing Plant.
| The Minneapolis Brewing COM
pany's plant was then visited with
view to looking over the ground to
decide whether or not building
permit should be granted. The Min,
neapolis Brewing company desires to
make an addition to their present
structure for offices, but are only
willing to make the addition a brick
veneer structure. AS this is located
| within the city fire limits, the coun'
cilmen were very dubious about
breaking away from the rules IN
the city charter, but decided to
take it up at the council meeting
which was held later on in the aft
/ ernoon.
Skating Rink Proposition.
The lawn tennis courts on South
Front street which had been suggest
ed as an ideal place for skating
rink by NJ. Il. Fallenstein at the
morning session of the council, was
then visited. Here, however, they
found that there was no dirt wall ia
hold in the water. The commissions
ers volunteered to give the water Tor
the flooding provided someone else
would bear the expense of throwing
up some sort Of retaining wall to
keep the water in the yard.
The Willard street dump was then
visited. This is where the street
car company has built new tracks
so as to form a complete loop. II
is located in the West ,Mankatc
slough and had been laid out but
had not been graded and was street
in name only. The dirt used to make
this dump was also surplus dirt and
