ST. CLOUD SAVES 100000
Commission Form of Government Re-
port Will Show Big Saving
Under Plan
JOHN LEY WRITES ROE


That the new commission form of
government in st. Cloud, which has
now been in force for the past year
is good thing for that city, and that
under this form it has saved during
the past year about $4,000, is the
information contained in a-letter re-
ceived by K. K. Roe of this city.
The letter was written by John III.
Ley who published the last directory
for Bemidji and who is a resident of
St. Cloud. The letter states that
Mayor Seberger lis greatly interested
in the Bemidji charter and that he
claims the system is far superior to
the old way. He also favors the one
man SYSTEM over the commissioner
Quoting from the letter he says,
'They are now compiling their last
years report and am sure you will
be interested in it as it shows where
the Commissioners saved the city
over $4,000 the past year. Mr.
Ley will be in the city next week and
begin work on the new Bemidji di-
rectory.

Three hundred feet of channel
will be dynamited by the Aetna Pow

ROBINSON ENDS
SITE INSPECTION.
Representative Of Treasury Depart
ment Sent Here to Select Federal
Building Location Makes Report
DID NOT ANNOUNCE CHOICE
Believes That Bemidj Deserves
Larger Appropriation Than SIS, 900
Finds Conditions Crowded

| I
Without having announced his de-
cision in regard to the site on which
Bemidji's new Federal building
should be located. J. R. Robinson, site
inspector Of the treasury department
OF the gyernment, left for his home
in Georgia yesterday.
Together with Anton Erickson,
postmaster, Robinson spent several
days in looking over the ten locations
which had been offered to the gov
ernment, but as is always the case
where appropriations have been made
he refused to state his choice.
Mr.. Robinson said. '.There is one
site which is offered to the govern
ment which would he an ideal loca-
ton for the new postoffice if the
price was not to he considered, but
where the appropriation is nearly all
needed for the construction of the
building great care must be taken.
While I have made up my mind as
to what my report will be I cannot
announce my decision
Praises Bemidji
1t is not known how soon the 10
cation for the proposed new post Of
flee will be announced.
The inspector said that he found
Bemidji to be one of the best cities of
its size he has visited, and that the
amount of business now being done
in the postoffice here warrants
much larger appropriation than that
granted. 1t was his opinion that the
architect would recommend an in
crease, when he began the plans.
Office Congested
Robinson also found a very con-
gested condition in the present post
office and was of the opinion that
some action should be taken which
would hurry the erection of the new
building. He complimented the
members Of the office force on the
manner in which their work is cared
