CONRAD la JAMBE
CUTS WOOD, ON THE
STREET FOR POOR

The city council at it's reg
ular meeting Monday evening
refused to allow Conrad La
Jambe permission to cut the
wood on 18th street between
America and Minnesota ave
nues, as the members of the
council believed that the wood
should be given to the poor
of the city or those who were
in need. The city engineer
was instructed to allow any
poor person or person in need
to cut the wood.
Conrad LaJambe joined the
Good Fellows, cut the wood
and distributed it to the poor
: and needy. The wood was an
excellent Christmas present
: for the poor and needy and
Mr.. LaJambe deserves much
praise for his act.
If all the citizens would as
sist the poor in this way or
any other way, the poor and
the needy might be able to
get a new hold on life this
Christmas.
