The River Front.

One of the problems which Mr.
Nolen's contract calls for in his study
and advice but not thought Of general
ly by the public is that of water from
improvements. With the completion
of the dam life on the river is expect
ed to take on new lease and the de
cision of the Upper Mississippi River
Association to secure the introduc
ton OF bills in the legislature giving
cities authority to condemn watel
fronts and build public warehouses
and wharfs may mean eventually al
entirely different looking river from
from the one now displayed to thu
public eye in this city. The exper
advice of Mr.. Nolen could be no bet
ter applied than on this question.
Also with some action expected =
he submitted on a new city hall II
the near future comes again the prof
lem of an advantageous building an
location. which Mr.. Nolen would. n
doubt, be called into conference TO
his decision.

Following the open letter by Will |

mittee in charge OF the city planning
fund, the lieutenants will begin an
active canvass so that the money
necessary may be secured as soon as
possible
Each one OF the three hundred and

canvassed. The total amount allotted
to the citizens to be collected through
the efforts of the lieutenants is about
$4,000 or but little more than ten
cents for each inhabitant and there
should be no difficulty in raising the
money.
i A general plan of asking that the
amounts donated range between twen-
4 ty-ffve cents and eight dollars has
been adopted. OF course, any public
spirited citizen who desires to give
more than eight dollars will not be
disappointed and the minimum
amount is placed as low as twenty
five cents in order to give the chill
