ness district and tax the n OF
the adjacent property, which would
make it cost each person about ten or
make it cost each owner about ten or
twelve dollars apiece. In this connec'
ton we would suggest hat the board
of education put in a cluster light at
the four corners of the school building.
1t would help wonderfully.
The Civic League asked the CO.
operation of the club in the cleanup
campaign, and President Hyde stated
that the matter had been presented to
the council and that the board of
health would cooperate with that body
to the end that Brookings may be
made bright and shining. Their is no
one thing that makes a better impress
sion on visitors than a clean city
and all good citizens should unite in
the movement for a cleaner Brook
ings.
President Hyde said that the ques,
ton of SEEMING Lake Campbell of the
rough fish had been brought up dur.
ing the week, a Watertown man ask
ing for the privilege, and he asked the
opinion of the members as to the ad-
visibility of such a course. The con
sensus of opinion was that the people
of the city and whole southwestern
part of the county would be decidedly
against such a proceeding and it was
unanimously voted to send a protest
in the nam of the club to the state
game warden. The county commits.
sioners are understood to be against
such a course, which is purely a selfish
proposition from the standpoint of the
man who wants to seine. 1t would
destroy this seasons fishing and would
kill many game fish, besides destroy
ing the spawning beds. There is no
need whaever of SEEMING the lake, as
it contains comparatively few destruc-
tive fish.
Prof. Solberg discussed the gravel
ing of the streets, a matter that has
been agitated for some time. Last
fall the council appropriated a thous-
and dollars to gravel Main street, but
the professor doubted the ACCESSIBILITY
of doing the work this summer, as
the street will be torn up continually
by connecting the new buildings with
the sewer and water mains. He rather
favored starting work at the college
campus and working this way, al
though of course the council may not
wish to use the appropriation for that
purpose.
The value of oiling the streets to
keep down the dust was explained by
a representative of a company that
manufactures machinery for doing the
work. According to his statement the
streets would only have to be oiled
about three times a year and it could
be done cheaper than it would cost
to run a water wagon all summer. He
was frank enough to say that the
biggest item of expense would be the
machinery.
1t was announced that Commits
sioner Jarvis of this district would be
pleased to have the club appoint a
committee to cooperate with him in
devising the best ways of spending
the road money allotted to this district,
and President Hyde named Prof. Sol
berg, DR.. Harris and w. M. Cheever
as such committee.
There being no further business the
club adjourned for lunch, served by
the Star Cafe. There was real pie, any
kind that you wanted, ON the menu,
and we believe that if this fact had
been advertised there would have been
a much larger turn out.
