OPENING MAIN STREET

The question of opening Main street
on the north has been much discussed
In Brookings the past couple of weeks,
and 1t Is an important one to the city.
The council met in special session
Monday evening to act on the Question,
but adjourned without doing anything
and 1t is common tall that 1t Is their
intention to dror the matter. How
ever, the Register believes that the city
would be very foolish to pass the mat
Ter up at this time. The Paul tract OF
land, which is really the key to the
situation can be purchased for $4,000,
which Is certainly a reasonable price,
and the other owners of land on the
proposed street offer to donate enough
for street purposes. The street will
ultimately have to be opened, there Is
no question about 1t, and the city, IL 1t
does not take advantage Of the present
opportunity, will doubtless have to pay
several times what Is asked now when
it does get ready to open 1t. IL the
city wants to use the land for a park,
well and good, and 1t certainly cannot
buy 1t cheaper than it can at the pres
ent time.
Some citizens say that the land
owners in the addition who will profit
by the opening of the street should fur
nish the purchase price. Perhaps they
should and still we believe that the
opening of the street will be an advant-
age to the whole city and every tax
payer should help to pay for it. 1t is
certain that at the present time the
owners of the addition are paying more
than their share of taxes. The land Is
taxed by lots instead of by acreage and
the owners derive practically no re-
venue from 1t and have no prospect of
revenue until Main street is extended.
The increase in taxable property that
will result when the addition Is built
up will more than Offset the sum that
the city will have to put into the pur-
chase price and improvements.
There Is a scarcity Of good building
lots In the city, unless you go away
out, and the opening of the addition
would satisfy this need in a large
measure. We want to grow into a
bigger and better Brookings but we
can never make much progress in that
direction il We hold back for fear that
OUT neighbor Is going to make a nickel
or two by the city's growth.

road work, and perhaps the commits.
sioners of this county may see their
way clear to help the good cause.
Prof. Solberg stated that the city
should gravel its streets, as at present
they are too dusty or too muddy the
greater part of the time. The city
should at least, said the professor,
gravel a road from Main street to the
college and he asked that a committee
be appointed to confer with the coun,
Gil. The president appointed Mr.. Sol
berg, j. X. Fridley and liver Dybdahl.
H. E. Riley mentioned the coming
Fourth of July race meet and said that
the club members should all boost for
it, a suggestion that will no doubt be
carried out.
There being no further business the
meeting adjourned for lunch.
The meeting vas a long n and
many members left before it was over.
The discussion of the various matters
took a great deal of time, and it would
seem the part of wisdom to set a mark
for adjournment, say at t~en-thirty, at
least during the hot weather. a.
