brim full of business. A good
representation was present and
from the time the meeting was
called to order until it's close
there was no time wasted in dis
posing Of the many important
matters that were presented for
action. Mr.. Lobdell assumed the
secretary's chair in the absence
of A. j. White.
Band Committee Reports
The Band Committee read it's
report for the past year and it
was unanimously approved by
the club. The band was very
highly complimented for the
manner in which the organiza-
ton had conducted its affairs
during the past year. Arrange
ments were made whereby the
band will continue it's concerts
this year under the same condi-
tions.
Park Commissioner Tyson
stated that it was his intention
to build a band stand in Ramsey
Park, for the purpose Of enab-
ling the band to give Sunday
concerts, provided it met the
approval of the club. He was
given unanimous support in this
connection by those present. Mr..
Tyson stated that he would have
the stand ready within a very
short time and it is hoped to
have the concerts open early in
July. Messrs. Tyson, Reynolds
and M. Lauterbach were ap-
pointed a committee to ascer-
tain the best location for the
stand.
Want Reformatory For Women
During the session of the last
legislature an appropriation of
100000 was made for the pur:.
pose of buying a site and prepar-
ing plans for a new state re-
formatory for women. This mat
ter was brought up for consid-
Grafton and a committee of
Frank Clague, Joseph Tyson and
Rud. Stensvad was appointed to
see that Redwood Falls advan-
tages are layed before the board
of control.
There is no place in the state
that is more fitting for the loca-
ton of such an institution and
the men on this committee do
not lack in energy to work for
it's establishment here.

House File No. 9O7, passed
during the legislature last Win
ter, authorizes the appropriation
of $4,000 for the purchase of
a tract of land, of not less than

the necessary buildings and. i'm
provements, for submission to
the legislature of 1917. The
