UP TO THE VOTERS.

At a meeting of the City Council
Monday evening it was decided to
submit the issuing of $4,000 bonds
for a new City Hall to the voters at
the spring election to be held April
is. Several business men and citi-
ems appeared before the council and
spoke in favor of submitting the ques-
ton to the voters. The plan is to have
a building about 110x60, two stories
high and built of brick. The second
story could be rented to the national
guard company for a term of ten years
at $500 n year, which would pay the
interest on half the bonds. On the
ground floor would be rooms for the
council, office for the city auditor and
quarters for the fire department and
band. 1t would be built upon the site
now occupied by the building We call
the city hall.
There is scarcely any doubt but
what We need a new city hall. for the
present structure is about ready to
cave in and If it should ever catch
fire it would go up in smoke before
the fire apparatus could be removed,
The city council vacated it some time
ago as a matter Of safety and have
been holding their meetings in the
rear Of the telephone exchange, and
City Auditor Stoddart has also had
his office there. However, this room
is needed by the telephone exchange
and unless the city builds a city hall
use Of the auditor and the council.

NOT THE RIGHT ONES.

Sheriff Halvorson returned home
Thursday night from Turner county,
where he was called by the report
that Lotus and Forbes, the two es-
capped bank robbers had been caught.
The men were not the pair that are
so badly wanted here, although Mr.
Halvorson says that they answered
the description in nearly every par
%ticular and he had to look twice at
them before he was satisfied that they
were not LOTUS and Forbes. The men
arrested were a couple Of tough look
ing customers. travelling through the
country and 1t is a remarkable COIN
cidence that both Of them should so
nearly answer the descriptions Of the
men who escaped from here.

MMERCIA
CLUB FACTS
COMMITTEE MAKES A REPORT
ON PROPOSITION.
100 MEMBERS ARE NECESSARY
PLANS ARE MEETING WITH THE
FAVOR OF BUSINESS MEN.

The committee appointed for the
purpose of investigating in regard to
the possibilities Of organizing a Com
mercial Club in this city have gone
over the local situation carefully and
find as follows:
That a majority Of the business men
seem to desire a club that combines
the social as we'll as the business
features, a club that would furnish a
reading room where various papers
and magazines might be had and also
a room for games.
That a majority of the business
men seem to desire a club with a
paid secretary. That is, that the e C
rotary receive at least enough to pay
a stenographer. And that the club
have a paid caretaker.
The committee finds that such a
club should be incorporated. That to
maintain such a club in the city of
Brookings the membership fee should
be SO with annual dues Of $1.25 per
That at least one hundred members
would be required to successfully
maintain such a club, but that the
membership should not be limited to
any specific number. That each mem
Der should have an equal voice in the
election of the officers of the club, that
is, the board of directors. That each
member Of the club in good standing
should have the right to entertain a
expense. That a small sum should be
charged for all games to help pay
running expenses.
Such a club would furnish a place
to entertain our business friends and
visitors. A place where members and
their guests might spend leisure or
spare time in reading, playing games
or in meeting business men. A place
where business men might take their
business friends to talk over any busi-
ness proposition, A place where bust
ness men might meet and exchange
ideas as to their own business or that
Of the city.
But more important than all these
body, representing the sentiment of
the city, whose duty and purpose
would be looking after the interests
of the city and the city's activities. 1t
would furnish an organization to
which business propositions would be
addressed and which would take up
the consideration of them, investigate
them, have the citizens act on them
and thus secure the location in Brook
ings of profitable business enterprises.
There is no reason why Brookings
should not have a Commercial Club of
the kind referred to above, if our peo-
pie really want 1t. There should be
no difficulty in securing 100 members
and more for such a club. The com
mittee is advised that there are sew
eral matters now requiring the at
tention of just such a club, outside
of the railroad proposition.
Before any organization can be per
fected it is absolutely necessary that
the committee know that at least 100
members can be secured. Decide now
to join and give your name to any
member of the committee. This mat
ter Of membership must be deter
mined within the next few days, If a
club is to be organized. Every citi-
zen Of Brookings is interested in this
matter.
