WILL NOT HELP FIX ROAD
BELLE PRAIRIE TOWN SAYS THEY
HAVE NOT MONEY TO FIX
NORTHEAST Road

1t appears as though nothing will be
done to improve the road leading from
this city to Belle Prairie near the Cal
vary cemetery, OF at least the county
city must bear the entire expense
Belle Prairie town, in which half of
the road, where the repairs are needed,
lies, has refused to bear one-third of
the expense Of fixing it up, holding
that there is not enough money in the
treasury.
Members of the city councils street
committee and County Commissioner
Rocheleau met with the town board
yesterday morning and inspected the
road. They found that the road was
badly in need Of repairs and that the
crest of the hill would have to be cut
down. 1t was estimated that the i'm
provement would cost about 5000. The
city agreed to pay one-third of the
cost. the county also agreeu to bear
onethird but the town refused to pay
it's share and therefore the matter now
IS at standstill.

CREST BREAKS STANDPIPE DIS
ASTER NARROWLY AVERTED

Christ Crest yesterday had an exper-
ience with water, which although rath-
er sudden proved quite pleasant, in
view of the fact that the day was a
rather warm one.
Mr. Crest had filled the engine Of the
roller from the standpipe in front Of
the Harrison & Peterson building, and
as he was driving away the ma
chine caught the standpipe and
broke it off near the ground. The
water shot out of the broken pipe
and threatened to food the flats and
Mr.. Crest, anxious to prevent such a
disaster, proceeded to shape wooden
plug to fit the pipe and attempted 20
stop the flow Of water.
In his first attempt to fix the plug in
place he was almost knocked to the
ground by the force Of water and was
.!rerched but he tried again and this
time the water sent his hat high into
the air. After several futile attempts
Joe st. Martin, who had witnessed the
affair from a distance, came to his res
cue and with the aid Of wrench turn
ed the water off and Crest, wet to the
skin, proceeded on his way with the
street roller.
