that in his opinion this is more necessary
than city hall, altho he expressed him
self as very friendly to the city hall pro-
ject. Other expressed themselves along
similar lines and the matter was finally
disposed of by referring it to a committee
consisting of the members of the Board Of
Health, DR.. o. J. Seifert, DR.. G. F. Rein
exc, and Herman Held, and Prof. Acker-
mann and DR.. j. l.. Schoch to bring the
matter before thee Council at an early date.
/ The House Committee thru it's chair
man, J. F. Armstrong reported that they
had taken up the matter of renovating
the club rooms with o. M. Olsen, land
lord, and that he agreed to have it done at
his expense and that it had been very sat
isfactorily done as might be seen by an
one who would take the trouble to go thru
the rooms.
On behalf of the Municipal Christmas
Tree committee, Mr.. Armstrong reported
that quite number of cases of near desti-
tuition had been found by the committee
and that so far they had expended the
sum of $42. out of the amount left over
from the celebration, for relief work and
that they expected to spend more for
) the necessaries of life to be distribut-
ed among the families that are in want.
Mr.. Armstrong also stated that in their
previous report to the Club they had fail
, ed to give Alfred J. Vogel credit for the
part he played in the celebration. He
said that the committee was indebted to
Mr.. Vogel for the original Christmas Tree
which, altho it was not used, was secured
by Mr.. Vogel at some expense, and that
Mr.. Vogel had also furnished all the tim
bers necessary for the erection of the tree
and had presented to the committee re-
ceipted bill therefor.
On behalf of the proper committee
which is investigating the ACCESSIBILITY
and feasibility of creating a local board
of Corrections and Charities, Supt. H.
C. Hess reported that so far the work
of the committee had consisted in get
ting in touch with people in charge of
this line of work in other societies.
He quoted the substance of replies so
far received and said that as soon as
enough information had been received
the committee would formulate report
and present it to the Club. He said
that so far as he had been able to find
out no local board had ever been or
gained in any city as small as New
Ulm, but that his informants had told
him that there is nothing in the way of
organizing such board here in New
| Ulm. Another committee that report
ed progress was the transportation
committee which was entrusted with
the mission to interview the M. & St.
L. railroad officials with view of getting
the night train to run to St. James
instead of stopping here at New Ulm
and also of securing better connections
at Winthrop for the trains going west.
The sum of 500 was voted the House
Committee for the purpose of having
the pool table changed into billiard
table. At the former meeting a sum
not to exceed $50 was allowed for this
purpose, the committee at that time
being of the opinion that they could ex-
change rails with DR.. Reineke. They
found however that this is not feasible
and reported that larger appropria-
ton would be necessary, which was
voted them.
In the December meeting the enter
tainment committee was authorized
to make arrangements for another
banquet or business mems lunch as
they might see fit. There seemed to
have been some mistake about it, for
the committee at Thursdays meeting
reported thru William Mather, the chair
man, that they favored a first class
banquet and if the Club did not want
this kind that then they recommended
smoker, the expense to be taken
out of the treasury. It did not take
very long to convince Mr.. Mather
that those present favored first class
banquet and as soon as possible and it
may be safely predicted that the members
of the Club will hear from this committee
quite suddenly.
Since the last meeting Otto Oswald
has become member Of the club.
j. F. Armstrong acted as Secretary
pro tenn, in the absence of William F..
Meile who was unable to be present on
account of illness.
Next Sunday evening the End Regt
Band will give it's annual concert at Turn
er Hall. It is needless to say that a mus
ical treat is in store for the music loving
people of New Ulm. It is only necessary
to read the program which appears in this
issue to be convinced that popular select
