CLUB SENDS MAYOR JOHNSON
Letter ASKING 0.0PERATI0n

The Commercial Club was in session
for short time Wednesday night, but
there was not a great amount of busi-
ness up for discussion. The matter Of
roads was further considered and it is
hoped that means can be secured at
once for pushing the work. Fred
Maser has been working several days on
the roads south, using his car for trans
porting help. and he has accomplished
a great deal. However. one man with
only two or three helpers, single hand
ed. cannot cover the ground as it
should be. Several auto loads of men
are needed, going out in every direc-
tion, and little team work should be
secured. A fund of $500 is needed for
this important work. Mr.. Maser is
doing his share and more, and it is up
to the large business firms, of the city to
act in the matter.
The club desires to get the co-opera-
tion of the council in making Dickin-
son more beautiful and 10 that end the
following letter has been addressed to
Mayor Johnson: .-.
Commercial Club, Dickinson, N. D.,
August 9Th, 1912.
To The Hon. Mayor, and City Council,
Dickinson, N. D.
Gentlemen:
AS secretary of the Commercial Club
of Dickinson. was instructed last
evening to write the Mayor and Council
as follows:
The Commercial Club went on record
as deeply appreciating the Council s
prompt efforts regarding letting con-
tracts etc., for the White Way. thus
in the near future making the fact of a
city beautiful known to all visitors and
those who. as travellers. shall pass our
way, and also to this fact that Dickin-
son is on the map as one of the progress
sive cities of the west.
The club also desires me to say that
they trust the Council will continue
their good work and take some action
in the matter of such sign posts, barber
poles, porches and other of the unsight-
ly objects that now deface the streets
and by definite enforcement of the
ordinance relating to same. make the
down town district still more metopoli-
tan by removal of same. !,
The club feels that because of the
splendid step the city has inaugurated
in the plan for lighting and the WIDEN
ing of the side walks that all merchants
will gladly cooperate with any meas
ure the Council may deem wise.
Trusting that this matter will have
the attention of the Council at its next
meeting and thanking it's Mayor and
members for anticipating this matter.
am. OIL behalf of the Commercial
Club,
Yours truly.
John Orchard,
Sc cretary.

NEW Delivery RULES
BY DICKINSON MERCHANTS
WITH A VIEW OF FACILITATING THE
DELIVERY OF GROCERIES AND
MEATS. PARTICULARLY THE
| E0pENfNON

DELIVERY OF GROCERIES AND
MEATS. PARTICULARLY THE
FORENOON.
The idea is suggested to the under
signed that it may be not only practi-
cal but heartily welcomed by majority
of our patrons if the present rule of So
licitine orders through personal solici-
tation would be eliminated. 1t is we'll
known fact to you that frequently you
are seriously embarrassed for want of
necessary articles for the noon day
meal reaching you too late. al
though your order was given to our order
taker comparatively early in the day.
With the growth of the city, the num-
Der of customers has increased and will
continue to and the time of the order
taker, on his route. increases in propor-
tion, he returning to the. store several
hours after the orders were taken. Be-
fore all orders are put up and the de-
livery boy able to start on his route
the better part Of the forenoon has pass
ed. Those whom he reaches last natur-
ally are inconvenienced and we know
that they are many, judging from the
numerous complaints generally sent in
over the phone about noon.
The plan in mind is that each GUS
toner make it q point to tender each
day by phone OF otherwise before nine
thirty such orders desired before noon.
and it appears to us q matter quite pos
sible to avoid the inc onveniences nam
ed above. All orders received after 10
o'clock will be subject to delivery as
existing conditions will justify.
Unless notice to the contrary is given
in the meantime, this rule will take
effect from and after August 18th. 1912.
and all personal solicitation of orders
will be discontinued. 4
