Cow Comemrciai Club held regular
mon hlv meeting at tnc club rooms
last Friday night at which time Sec
retary S. C. Moore rendered his re-
signation. He stated that as he had
been hard at work in the position for
two and a half years without any
rest. a vacation would do him good
and asked that the board accept his
resignation. No action was taken at
that time however.
The subject of grade crossing at
Fourth Street over the Great North
ern right of way was further con-
sidered and report received from
the Secretary to the effect that the
railway company was willing to open
the crossing providing the crossing in
the west end of the yards was closed.
A committee from the City Council
and the Commercial Club waited upon
the County Commissioners at their
last session and laid the matter be-
fore them. They expressed a will
lingness to close the old crossing near
10th street upon condition that new
one was opened on Fourth street. A
petition was circulated and filed with
the commissioners and will be acted
upon at their next meeting. The
opening of this crossing has been de-
sired for many years and the Com
mercial Club effort to secure it has
at last appeared to be fruitful.
Two new grain elevators may be
erected in Glasgow before the harvest
season opens if the efforts of the club
to obtain sites on the Great Northern
railway right of way prove success
full. At the present time the indus
trial tracks of the company are crowd
ed to their capacity but the new
track now being put down for the big
freight house the company will build
this summer here will furnish consld-
cradle room for the purpose. The
Club has taken the matter up with
Jas. Robinson, Right of Way Agent
of the company at St. Paul and every
thing possible will be done to secure
from him the desired elevator sites
There is a constant increase in the
acreage tributary to Glasgow put in
to grain and the necessity of more
elevators here is realized by the Club
and it is the intention to follow uE
this work until satisfactory result:
are obtained. Secretary Moore put
the matter up to Mr.. Robinson from
the standpoint of the farmers inter
ests and it is expected he will &C
favorbaly within short time.
