These are he standing committees
appointed Is President c. E. Ball of
the Norm Mankato Commercial club
President Ball called a special
meeting Of that organization last
night for the purpose Of appointing
the committees which he had decid-
ed were necessary. Although the at
tendance was not as large as the
club meetings usually are. last nights
session SaYoTef- OF enthusiasm from
the start and hose present took ac-
tive interest IN he appointments.
Dennis Domaine acted as secretary
In the absence OF the permanent sec
rotary.
Before making he appointments.
President Ball stated that he wanted
suggestions from those present, who
were free 70 criticise as they pleased
The first committee he thought the
club should have and one that
should be appointed at once, was on
good roads. There was no use in
having laws whereby Nicollet coun-
ty receives large appropriations for
good roads and then not use the
money. At present there was sum
of about $1,000 lying in the state
treasury at st. Paul for Nicollet
county. \ committee of this kind, he
thought. would soon see that the
money was put into use.
]. Z. Reynolds declared there
Should not be any discussion at all
ON . point like this; good roads
committee was too necessary to adj
NIT Of question. Such n committee
could 20 before the county commits
sioners and do good work toward
securing appropriations and urging
them to improve the highways.
Names the Committee.
Precedent Ball thought that mas
much rs !. B. Nielsen was one of
the delegates of the National High
way association session and had at
tended the meeting at Tracy, he
should be appointed chairman. He
then appointed the other two mem
bers, II. Robel, Sr., and Frank JEFF
ferson. There should be at least one
farmer on this committee, SO Mr..
Jefferson was asked to serve.
The next committee to be appoint
ed was that on awards. At the last
regular meeting 1t was decided to
ises. and it was also decided to give
other awards at the end of the year,
and SO a committee on awards was
thought necessary
President Ball thought that in as
much as the city is growing, in
creasing in population and buildings
SO fast, indeed, hat it is growing
out of village into city, COM
mittee should be appointed to gath
er all the information concerning the
new improvements, buildings erect
ed, street i'm proven cents, etc, and re-
port at each meeting of the club
what improvements had been made
during the past month. so that the
people of the CITY could get some
idea of what is being done along
this line. his suggestion that such
committee be appointed was met
with the hearty approval of all.
Disposal Of Booklets.
Some discussion arose as to the
disposal of the new booklets which
are being gotten out by the Man
kato Commercial club, and which in
clude many scenes rom NORM Man
kato. Five hundred nave been as
signed 10 North Mankato. In Man
kato. the real estate dealers have
promised to purchase large num-
Der and send out al over the couh
try. Mr.. DOnahue thought that the
committee should be given the right
to sell the books and then turn in
the money 20 the club treasury. Pres
ident Ball suggested that the COM
fnittee be given his right. but when
person came for several copies
besides his own. the committee
should take down The names and adj
dresses OF the persons he wanted
them sent 10 and then have this
committee mail the copies TO insure
their being sent out However. II
