New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1915-05-05

At Well-attended me ,ting of the
citizens Of Tracy held Wednesday night
the majority fovored the sale Of the
Municipal Electric Light and Water
Plant. It developed at this meeting
that the plant has always been losing
proposition and that the outlook is that
it will continue in this class. The equip
ment is valued at $4,000. The con-
census of opinion seemed to favor the
idea of having the council advertise for
bids, with the right to reject any or all
bids.

Work on the Senior Annual of the
New Ulm High School is under way at
the Review Office and the book promises
to be very attractive. 1t will consist
Of some 80 pages literally illustrated
with scenes from the various activities
of High School life. The book will be
entitled ''The Lavender and White"
and the school colors will be carried out
in the finish. So far as we know, no
nicer piece of job work has even been
printed in New Ulm and usually the
plants in small cities do not attempt to
do the work but send it to Mortified
where the ''News" is specially equipped
to handle such work. Our plant has
been steadily improving it's equipment
for the past three years and we now feel
competent to undertake almost any
sort of work in our line and when the
Lavender & White" goes out to the
public we believe they will agree with us
that it is not necessary to 60 out Of town
for the best work. The pupils are hav-
! ing few extra copies of the magazine
printed in order to be able to supply the
friends of the school and it is expected
that many of the Alumni will want copies
when they see the book. If any of the
subscribers of the Review would like to
have a copy reserved they can do so by
notifying Mr.. John Kierzek, New Ulm.
Mr.. Kierzek is the English teacher and is
superintendenting the work of prepar-
ing the Annual.
