PERMANENTCAMP At
MAPLE LAKE IS
THE TALK
Y. M. CA. May Undertake
New Project This Sum-
1ner-Much Approval.

A permanent camp at Maple Lake
for the use Of the members Of the Y.
M. G. A. who may visit that popular
resort. is being seriously considered by
the officials and the directors Of the
institution. This year the annual
camp for the boys will be held at
Maple Lake June 10 to 20, the camp
will be maintained ten days longer for
the older members and II possible and
the location suits. grounds will be
leased and an association camp insti-
tuted.
The owner Of a piece Of property in
an excellent location on the lake has
made an offer of a longtime lease to
the Y. NJ. c. A. and this with the fact
that Maple Lake is the nearest sum-
mer resort Of any account has been
responsible for the new project.

suits warrant the financial outlay. 1913

rowboats, a sailboat and a boathouse
and swimming pier installed.
There are many of the members of
the Y. NJ. C. A. who visit Maple Lake
during the summer time and who stay
at the hotels. These members are the
ones, whom it is believed would make
the camp a. success. A small charge
for the use of the camp will be made
and in that way funds for the up

Another feature of the camp will be
that the boys annual trip under the
auspices of the association could be
prolonged for more than the ten days
and with the ownership Of the prop
erty by the Y. NJ. C. A. a smaller price
might be charged.

vanced by both the city engineer and
Alderman Salisbury. In speaking OF
his trip to Fargo and the traction en-.
gine puzzle he said:
Fargo and Grand Forks have no
similarity in the present difficulty. In
Grand Forks the traction engine mel
built their warehouses and then the

that the only way they can move the
machines Is over the paved streets. is
not their fault. At Fargo. a traction
engine a be driven but a block
from any of the warehouses and they
are oft Of paved streets.
"The Fargo ordinance compels the
traction engine me to load all ma
chimes that are to he shipped out OF
town. They are not allowed to cross
the bridge between Fargo and Moor
head. The ordinance also provides
that the engine men put planks on the
paving. This decreases the progress
by about one-third."
Other Business Coming Up.
Among the many matters to be re-
ported on to the city council this eve
ming is the session held by the special
committee Of the council with Super
