Commercial Club Committee Now
Appeals to the Public.
MONEY WILL BE WELL SPENT
Improvement Of Highways Lead.
ing Into Mankato Is An
Object Sought.
From Fridays Daily.


The Commercial club committee
appointed by President F. E. Gran
dali to solicit the sum of $500 for
the bctterment of highways leading
into Mankato, held meeting last
week to outline a campaign for Sc.
curing this fund. Considerable prog.
ress has already been made, al.
though the committee is just enter.
ing upon it's task, having called
on a comparatively few of the bust.
ness men.
The good roads enthusiasm is SO
marked among the people, city
and country people alike, that the
committee anticipates no trouble in
obtaining a sufficient number of
yearly subscriptions to make up the
amount pledged by the Commercial
club. What has already been done
Mankato can be referred to as an
Illustration of what all the roads
can be in few years il the proper
spirit is shown by the people in
subscribing toward this Commercial
club good roads fund.
How Money Will BE Spent.
The money secured for the work
will be expended under the direc-
ton of the good roads committee
of the club, and SO far as possible,
in cooperation with county commits.
Fsioners, township boards and farm
ers, when they pay q reasonable
amount of the cost.
The club has assisted in the bet
terment of practically all the roads
already improved and hopes to have
funds to continue the work. When
certain highways are designated by
the county commissioners as state
roads the state pays one-half the
expense of it's Improvement, and the
state highway commission furnishes
an engineer to oversee and assist
in the work. Under the present
law, one-fourth of a mill on each
dollar of valuation is used for roads
aud bridge Improvement in the
state. A constitutional amendment
will be submitted to the voters at
the coming election this fall In
creasing the amount to one mill.
Committee Appeals to Public.
The committee charged with the
task of raising the $4,000 appeals to
everyone to subscribe as literally as
possible, as good roads to this COM
munity means Increased trade and
will do much toward building up
Mankato and the territory tributary
thereto.
The committee hopes to call on
every business man within the next
three weeks. Progress of the COM
mittee, which consists of C. e.
Wise, Fred Otto, NJ. d. Fritz and
John Holman, will be noted from
time to time and a list of contri-
buttons published.

{. Dudley Parsons, Former ST. Clair
lite, Given PoIiceman's Star.
From Thursdays Daily.
e. Dudley Parsons, professor OF
English at the West Side high
school, was nominated to the office
of village constable OF Edna, a
village on the outskirts OF Mime
apolis, at the caucus held there last
night. The voters of that town sure
ly slipped one over on Mr.. Parsons
at their meeting and they intend
that nothing shall interfere with his
election and acceptance OF the ohice
of constable.
Mr.. Parsons was the only voter of
the village who was not present at
the caucus and was one OF seventeen
voters who was nominated to the of
fee OF constable. Each of the other
sixteen men declined, and as Mr..
Parsons was at his home sleeping
the sleep of the just, there was no
way for him to Know into what po-
litical prominence and responsibility
he had been pushed.
1t is expected that Mr.. Parsons,
with his wonderful command Of the
English language, will make a splen.
did constable, says The Minneapolis
Tribune, and none of the other men
who were put up for the nomination
seem to hold any Ill will for him,
but take their defeat gracefully.
Mr.. Parsons was formerly a minis
ter at the village of St. Clair, In
this county, and is a splendid man,
with many friends in and about st.
Clair and Mankato.
