committee reported on the places they
had under consideration. namely, rooms
in the Jessen building and the old Ma

principal speaker, and this year the

Gov. Hanna as their speaker. Mr..
Hanna is an entertaining speaker and
if he accepts the invitation our people
have treat awaiting them.

PUT MAN ON THE ROADS
From Fridays Daily.

From FrtdayS Oatiy.
At a joint meeting of the good
roads committees of the Automobile
and Commercial. clubs of the city, it
was decided to employ a man and
/ team to do road work on. the roads
running out OF Mankato. Judge
Lorin Cray and John Nyquist were
appointed to act as committee to
secure the services of such man.
Judge Cray and Mr.. .Nyquist will
have charge of the activities of the
man. These two gentlemen went
over the. road to Eagle Lake this
morning.
/ The good roads committee from the
Automobile and Commercial clubs
will appear before the county com.
missioners to ask for, help in pay.
ing for the mans time. 1t is be.
lieyed that the board will be willing
to, take part OF its state allotment OF
the, good roads fund for this, purpose
(, for use on the roads which are state
roads. OF. course, no. help, can be
secured for the non7state roads. The
work on the, other roads will have to
be undertaken entirely, by the two
+ clubs, d;
! The opinion was expressed thai
while one man with a team Wolil(
do much good in the, upkeep of. the
roads, in. another year or two, more
men and teams should be employees
so that the. roads tributary to Man
kato for q, distance !, Of eight. OF ter
miles could be worked, AT the pres
ent time the finances of the cmi
i will not warrant any further expendi
ture, but with the. county help it i.
