Two Matters Taken up by
Commercial Club
Time is Now Ripe to Begin
improvements that will
be Permanent.

! A very important meeting was
held at the Washburn CONNER
cial Club on Friday evening of
last week when the business
men and property owners gather
ed together to discuss two i'm
portant projects. The one is for
the establishment of a white
way" along Bayfield, street and
the other is for the paving of
Bayfield, street.
| A goodly number of business
men were present at the meeting
and enthusiasm ran high.
Everyone present seemed to be
in for going ahead with i'm
provements that would build up
Washburn and action along these
lines was taken by a motion be-
ling passed appointing two COM
mittees to investigate the
propositions.
The first matter taken up was
the establishment of a white
way" along Bayfield, street. The
proposition as advanced is to put
up lights along both sides of
Bayfield, street, starting from
Washington avenue and extend
ing east. The expense of put
ting up these lights and also of
keeping them in operation would
be borne by the business interests
along the street. Amos M. Han
sen, speaking for the business
men in the block extending from
Washington avenue, east, stated
that they are willing to begin
the white way project at once in
that block, but George Fox,
speaking for the interests of the
next block, stated that his block
should be the first to begin these
improvements. Dan Corning,
the Pioneer grocer, at this point
arose and said that as Washburn
was first started from his corner
that these improvements should
begin there and he caused con-
siderable amusement when he
gave his. order to Mr.. Downs of
the lighting company for a light,
Saying work could be commenced
in the morning.
The committee appointed is to
look up the cost of establishing
a white way and the kind of
lamps to be used, whether they
should be brackets extending
from the poles along the street,
or whether standards should be
used.
The proposition of paving Bay
field street was next brought up
by Attorney A. w. Mcleod and
many others took part in the
discussion. 1t was suggested by
Mr.. Mcleod that some start
should be made toward paving
the Bayfield, street and many of
the owners of property talked
favorably on the project. A
committee was appointed and it
will be their duty to get in touch
with contractors and find the
probable cost of paving the
street. The different kinds of
material will also be looked up
in order to determine what sue
cess they have given where tried.
These committees will report
at a meeting to be held at the
Commercial Club on Friday
evening of this week and it is
hoped that all business men and
owners of property along Bay
field street will be present.
The feeling in the city never
was better and people are now
confident that Washburn has
taken a start forward where it
will begin to show rapid growth.
The large number of men en-
ployed at the dynamite plant has
given the people of the city new
encouragement and the business
interests are ready to grasp any
opportunity that will advance
