Celebrate Water Works Completion.
1t has been suggested that North
Mankato should celebrate the COM
pletion of its water works system.
The suggestion is good one. While
the work will not all be completed
before the first of October, it would
be we'll to begin early in preparing
for the celebration in order that it
may be great success. The Com
mercial club should take up this
matter of celebration at its next
meeting. Bands and fire companies
of other towns should be invited and
other features appropriate to the oc-
casion could be planned for. A
street parade and firemen's exhibition
and speeches, ETC., could make up
program worthy of the occasion. The
village has never had celebration
of any kind, but no doubt if this
celebration is decided upon 1t will
be made big one.
