At the close Of the council session
Tuesday evening Alderman McGhee
made the suggestion to the body that
a levy of 100000 for the purpose
of purchase of the light and water
plant be made a part of the 1912
budget, to be certified to the county
auditor the coming month.
He also considered levy of
$4,000 should be made for white
way on Mesaba avenue, but whether
or not such an improvement would
be held up for season after the
money is made available, as has been
the case with the Central avenue
white way, is not known.
The board of tax levy comprises
the mayor, President Boylan of the
city council, and City Clerk Bick-
ford, and Mr. McGhee was requested
to make his suggestion in writing
for the consideration Of this body
when it may meet, President Boy
Ian and Clerk Bickford stating that
figures on many of the possible
r needs of the city had already been
made and that the board awaited
the recommendation from the coun-
Gil committees as to the probable
municipal needs for another year.
The matter of the apparent delay
in the paving work was brought up,
and the mayor expressed the belief
that had all the paving this season
been bitulithic Warren Bros, the
successful bidders, would have shown
greater burst of speed in laying
same. The manager of the company
has arrived in the city since the
meeting, however, and it is probable
that If faster work may be had he
will attend to the matter.
Bids for the construction of
sanitary sewer in District SIX were
read, competitive bids from e. c.
dAu 4uOl nloOCA UCCA ~ G
sented. The bid of Mr. Risberg was
considerably the lower, and the Of
ficials were instructed by resolution
to enter into contract.
The city attorney, upon recon-
mendation of Alderman Heritage of
the finance committee, introduced at
a former meeting, was allowed a
raise of $50 per month for steno-
grapher in his office. This is deemed
but just and equitable, as the city
attorney has this year had even more
to do than has fallen to the lot of
such official in the past, and the
prospects are that his duties will be
increased rather than decreased as
time goes by.

CONRAD MA1:ISoh IS new
ALDERMAN FROM. SECOND
Named Tuesday Evening to Succeed
William Ketola, Whose Resigna-
ton Was Caused Through His Re-
mOval from the Ward.

body, the vacancy caused by the
resignation of William Ketola as
alderman from the second through
his removal from the ward being
filled Tuesday evening by the ap-
pointment of Conrad Mattson to fll
the unexpired term.
The question of filling this vacancy
was up at previous meeting, but
resulted in a deadlock, Mr.. Mattson
failing at that time in getting a
majority vote of the full council as
provided by law, receiving four votes
as against three for former Alderman
Alfred Staff. At the last meeting,
however. the name Of Mr.. STAFF did
not appear, the informal ballot and
the first two formal ballots showing
four for Walter Heagle and four for
Mr.. Mattson, making it look as
though another deadlock had been
struck. Following an unsupported
motion that the matter be laid on
the table for one week more, how
ever, third formal ballot was taken,
resulting in five votes for Mr.. Matt
son as against three for Mr.. Heagle,
Mr.. Mattson's election being de-
clared by the chair.
Mr.. Mattson has been ION the
job" before, and city business will
be naught new to him, and bringing
his past experience into commission
he should make valuable addition
to the body.

The action of County Auditor Odin
Halden in sending to Virginia elec.
tion supplies for a Fourth Glass in.
stead of Third Class city, to which
Virginia was justly entitled, brought
forth strong resolution, intro
duced at the request of Alderman
Heritage, from the city council Tues
day evening.
The action of the County Auditor
is alleged to have been made on
written advice from the special at
torney for the board Of county CON-
missioners Of St. Louis county, Chas.
E. Adams, and from Lyndon A.
Smith, attorney general of the state
of Minnesota, and while in itself the
act is of little consequence the coun-
Gil sees therein the undeniable ef-
fort to place this city in the wrong
class for purpose, that purpose as
viewed being to disqualify Virginia
from taking advantage of the laws
covering the annexation of addition
al territory, application for which
has already been made and should
have been pushed to a successful
terminus ere this had it received the
moral support of certain element
of citizenship which, for some other
reason best known to themselves.
laid back in the harness and gave
to the proposition but little Of the
attention to which it was entitled.
The resolution as introduced and
passed is self-explanatory, reading
as follows:
Whereas, the federal census re-
turned for the state Of Minnesota on
November 30th, 1910, shows the
population of the city Of Virginia to
be 10,473, and
Whereas, according to the con-

the city was presented, asking for
the erection of a municipal slaughter
house. This prop'sitton: is already
under way, and the attorney has
been instructed to solicit a lease of
grounds from the Oliver company
for such purpose. Plans for such a
plant have already been accepted,
and the bill of Architect Shand in
the sum of $50 for such plans was
ordered paid.
A communication from the Vir-
ginia Meat Co. asking for the use Of
waste steam from the incinerator
for their proposed slaughter house
and abbottoir was laid on the table
for one week, and the company will
be asked to make a detailed state
ment of their proposition for the
consideration of the council.
A request from the Wilson and
Marshall Club Of Virginia for the
use of the council chamber each Fri
day evening, for political meetings,
was granted.
An application Of Michael r. Kie-
zig for a liquor license at 115 Chest
nut street was referred to the COM
mittee on licenses for future report.
The Fairview Realty Company
submitted an agreement relative to
the extension of water mains to a
portion of their plat, which was &C
cepted and the proper city officials
we're instructed to sign same in be-
half of the city.
The clerk was instructed to adver-
tise for bids for the city's coal sup
ply for the ensuing season, upon
report being submitted him of the
probable needs for the various de-
partments.
A letter advised the council that
the new street fusher had been
shipped from South Bend, Ind, on
September 18th, and he was instruct
ed to send to the firm for a mechanic
to put same in operation.

The Selz guarantee is remarkable in
its cIearness and conciseness. You can
not help but understand exactly what 1t

any case where a SELF shoe fails to live
up to that guarantee in the fullest sense
of the word.
The name SELF stamped on the sole
of a shoe is guarantee of absolute sat
isfaction. Remember. your dealer is au-
thorized to see that you get absolute
satisfaction from every pair OF shoes
bearing the mark SELF"
Did you ever see any guarantee on any
article, at any price, that ever had any
thing on the above statement from the
Selz manufacturers?
Men who like to keep abreast of fash
ion yet sbhor grotesque shapes find that
the Selz shoe meets their every require

The soles on which SELF shoes are
constructed are known as "soles OF hon

tured and sold to the dealer and from
