In spite of the fact that quite mum
Der of members of the Commercial Clul
had other meetings to attend which
could not be postponed, the attendant,
at the monthly meeting Wednesda,
evening was representative and consider
able important business was transacted
1t was largely matter of listening to re
ports of standing and special committees
+. w. johnson reported on behalf O
the Municipal Heating committee thai
representative of the American Dis
trict Steam Heating Co. of Chicago
had been in the city for the purpose
Of correcting the data necessary for thu
company to draw plans and expressed
the hope that the plans and also the
report would be available. in a very
short time. Mr.. johnson also reported
that he had received communication
from the secretary of the Conference
for Collections and Charities in which
the dates for the meeting at New U]m
had been fixed for September 25th, 26th.
9th and 18th. These dates proved
satisfactory to the club members and
Mr.. johnson was notified to so inform
the secretary.
The committee which was appointed
some time ago to determine the feasibility
of having local charities organization
at New Ulm reported that it had for
some time carried on correspondence
which had become quite voluminous.
The pith of the report was that under
existing laws no local could be organized
to do the work necessary, and to the
committee it seemed that the only
solution Of the question would be to
hire some competent person to look
after the charity work which would
possibly necessitate the expenditure
of $500 per annum. No action was
taken in this matter.
President Ottomeyer reported that
he had received information that about
100 members of the Civic and Commerce
Association of Minneapolis would arrive
in New Ulm Thursday. June 3rd at
500 P. M. and would remain over night.
The entertainment committee was en-
trusted with the matter of seeing to
it that the Minneapolis jobbers are re-
ceived in a manner which will rebound
to the credit of the Commercial Club
and also of the city of New Ulm.
The untrimmed shade trees along the
sidewalks Of the city and the ACCESSIBILITY
of having the census of the city taken
during the present year were brought
up for discussion again but no action
of any kind was taken. In the matter
of trimming the trees the sentiment
seemed to be as strong as ever that some
thing should be done and as soon as
possible. The entertainment committee
reported that 231 persons participated
in the annual banquet given at Turner
Hall IN APP il, and that out of the 1921
receipts, everything had been expended
except the sum of SIP which had been
turned over to the treasurer of the
club.
The Good Roads Committee, of which
C. A. Stolz is chairman will have to
wrestle with the proposition of getting
the roads leading to New Ulm properly
signed. The matter was discussed at
some length and it seemed to be the
general opinion that something along
this line should be done at an early date.
George Wicherski appeared at the
club in behalf of the New Ulm Turnverein
and informed the members that the
Turner Society had booked Sunday and
Monday, the 4th and 9Th of July for a
Bezirksturnfest and thought it might
be opportune to have a grand 4th of
July celebration on Monday. The mat
ter was referred to the entertainment
committee which will investigate the
situation and, if they deem it necessary,
call a special meeting of the club to take
further action. The matter of prevent
ing the dust and dirt from the side
street from blowing onto the paved
street was brought up and discussed.
Albrecht Stork advocated that the side
streets be sprinkled with chloride Of
lime during the summer months to keep
down the dust, and stated that this
method had been followed by Mankato
and other cities in the past. The matter
was disposed Of by referring tito the
Good Roads Committee with full power
to act.
