COUNCIL CONCLUDES TO
MAKE REFUND OF LICENSE
Pat Sullivan 10 Get Back Value Of uhused
Portion Worth approximately $500.

yYhe City council has decided to
return TO Pat Sullivan the value
Of the unused portion. of his liquor,

ID. u. Morgan, city attorney, gave
advice that in so doing the alder
men We're laying themselves liable
to prosecution for nalfcasance in
office. The action was taken at
the meeting Tuesday evening and
the vote Oh he Restitution was un-
animous. The state law tells when
liquor licenses which do not run
10 expiration may be refunded and
the city attorney contends the case
OF Pat Sullivan does not come
within any that are enumerated and
he law says land in no other
cases. There was a resolution be-
fore the council which had it been
voted ON and passed who have COM
nittcd the council to saing that
The bartender who kept Mr.. Sulli-
vans place open after hours and
sold liquor had done so fraudulent
ly against his employer, which
would have \itiated the charges
against Mr.. Sullivan. The council
discussed but rejected the rcsolu-
lion and preferred to vote straight
on the matter of retaining or re-
turning the value of the unused
part of the license. The vote was
unanimous to make the refund
but there is a provisO that Mr.. Sui
livan must protect the city by bond
from any claim for damages or
court costs. The discussion on this
subject took a greater length OF
time than any other at the Tues
day evening session, those express
; ing decided opinions being Presi-

Der Of bids for he refreshmtnt

PAv|NG WORK OUTLINED
TO COST ABOUT $4,000
Virginia Ave., First Street. North Side and
nenIock Street Got improvements
This Seasel.

Virginia will spend $4,000 on
paving during the coming summer
according to the plans laid out by
the street and alley committee i'm
conjunction with City Engineer E.
F. Johnson.
The exact figure as named in the
city engineers estimate for the
work is $4,000 and is made up as
follows: Paving Virginia avenue
from the steel bridge to the cor
ner of First street north, near the
Oliver shops $4,000; paving First
street hill from the corner of Fifth
avenue north to Virginia avenue
$4,000; paving Hemlock street from
Virginia avenue to railroad street,
$i2,00O.
The engineers department is now
busy preparing specifications to be
presented at the council meeting
next Tuesday and the city clerk
will probably be authorized to ad-
vertise for bids for the work with
out any delay.
The work that is planned for
First street from Virginia avenue
to Fifth street North or from the
Oliver shops to the first entrance
to Olcott park is badly needed, as
since the coming Of the inter-urban
line along the. street, the roadway
has been cut down to practically
half its width until such time as
the portion between the car tracks
can be properly fixed. There is
a very large amount Of traffic
along this stretch of road which
leads to the park, the car barns
and to Mountain Iron and all points
beyond and the work will be rush
ed ahead rapidly.
The opening of the baseball sea-
son will greatly increase the
amount of traffic along Virginia
avenue and this street also will be
pushed ahead with regard to the
paving. The paving of Hemlock
will probably be the last of tho
three jobs to be handled.
It was hoped ttslssi Canadian
Northern raiIrosslf hight remove
their tracks crossing Second ave.
hue North and First street whe1
they made the change from the ole
route across the Silver mine but
ihe company still maintain the
trackage crossing the two streets
and an effort is being made to gel
them to cut down their levels {
couple Of feet on the curve, thus
saving two awkward humps anC
hollows on the street grade anG
making a clean rise possible from
the Oliver shops to he entrance
to :he park. It is uncertain il
'hc effort will be successful as
the cost to the railroad would bt
lUuite considerable.

and ''get together" banquet held at

success than was anticipated even
though Governor Eberhart and
others Of the speakers on the toast
list We're not present. The atten-
dance was about 2OO-all that tho

excellence and first class music

POSTMASTER and he performed the
duties in manner which brought
him concentrations for his happy
and humorous references, all the
while maintaining dignity. F. E.
Lister made the address of well
come. Thomas Owens, superinten-
dent of the Duluth & Iron Range
road attended and spoke in the
place of President +. E. House, and
J. w. kreitter superintendent, at
tended as the representative of the
Missabe road. Both were listed to
speak on the subject Union De-
pot" but both very cautiously
avoided saying anything that would
commit or pledge the roads to any
specific action. Assurance was
given, however, that these roads
are always willing to give atten-
ton to requests from the citizens
Of Virginia for changes for better
nent of service.
John Owens, who was a resident
Of Virginia before any other man
who was at the banquet and prob
ably before any other nova resi-
dent of the city, was a guest of
honor. He spoke advocating the
development Of the lands into pro-
ducing farms. He predicted 10O,-
600 population for Virginia in 1925.
}. l.. Pickles, chief engineer of
the D. w. & P. railway expressed
the confidence of his company in
this city and this region by stat
ing that the new depot is a much
better one than is usually built ~
the company in a city with tile
population of Virginia.
Chas. S. Mitchell of Duluth made
a humorous and instructive address
on the subject 'Brotherly Love-"
He spoke favorably of the United
States Steel corporation as to the
fairness of it's dealings with Duluth
and other cities. The keynote of
his address was LET residents of
Virginia have their differences, if
they will, as to minor affairs, but
let them all work together when
it comes to promoting and advanc-
ing the interests of the city,"
The banquet was made more
pleasing by the singing of Prof.
George Jenson and the music by
