AND COST 0O0-FINANCES
ARE ARRANGED

After several months OF discussion
and negotiation, the stockholders of
Sauk Lake Cooperative Creamery as
sociation got together last Saturday
afternoon in the Commercial Club
rooms and by vote of II to decid-
ed to erect an up-to-date and hand
some creamery plant on an uptown
location.
Details have been left to a build
ing committee composed of President
Henry Botz, Secretary George
Strauss, J. F. Coyle, D. M. Deyoe and
F. P. Minette. The only bounds to
which the committee are held is that
the plant be erected on the Vogel lot
on Third street between the city hall
and the Rosenberger garage and that
the cost shall not exceed $4,000.
The committee has held several
meetings and are determined to rush
the work so that the plant will be
completed before freezing up time.
Plans and specifications are being
prepared for two-story brick build
ing 80 by 72 feet facing on Third
street. An exit alleyway south of the
city hall has been promised by the
city. 1t is the intention of the COM
mittee to make the building an orna-
ment as we'll as to embody in it the
most modern creamery construction.
The necessary building funds have
been procured on two notes for $4,000
each signed by the stockholders and
are available at the call of the COM
mittee.
For nearly two months the stock
holders tried to get together on a
building plan. 1t was conceded the
present plant on the river bank had
eutlived its usefulness and that either
a new building must be erected or a
large sum expended in repairing the
old structure. Stockholders were di-
vided as to which was the better
course to pursue.
Finally both factions agreed to
abide by the decision Of committee
Of sixteen, eight of whom were to be
selected from among the older stock
holders and eight from the newer
members. This committee was select
ed as follows: F. J. Borgmann, ]. F.
Coyle, A. H. Hendricksen, R. Gam
radt, S. Erickson, George Deyoe, Will
liam Botz, George Strauss, Nick Orth,
Joseph Beste, Alex Bromenschenkel,
Theodore Schurmann, Charles Morse,
Frank Uhger, C. c. Calkins and A. D.
Dryden. Report of the committee was
made at the meeting Saturday, was
signed by all the committee and
adopted by the FL to vote. 1t en-
bodied among other things: -
That all agree that we must have
the Sauk Centre creamery and that it
should be as good creamery as can be
had.
That the present creamery building
is untenable and even with any re-
pairs that can be made on the same
it is Inadequate or will be in the near
future.
That it appears to the committee
that it is better to build new build
ing at once.
That in order to facilitate the bus
mess such creamery should be built
up town and as near to the corner of
Main and Third streets as possible.
That we Investigated the PROPOSE
tion of site as follows: Lot on
Main street adjoining the steam laun-
dry owned by Geo. R. Borgmann; the
Dahlem building, corner Oak and
Third streets, and a lot on Third
street adjoining the city hall build
ing owned by B. o. Vogel. We found
the Borgmann lot too narrow, being "a
feet wide, while the creamery build
ing should be all of that width; also,
that the entrance to said property is
from Main street on one of the busiest
spots in town and for that reason we
must turn that proposition down. The
Dahlem property has no room outside
of the building. The Vogel lot is
within three-quarters of a block from
the desirable corner above specified.
It is 411a feet wide by 130 feet long,
which will give ample room for the
building and driveway, and we rec
>namend the purchase of that lot and
the erection of a modern creamery
building thereon. fa!GoG ~
That the price of the Vogel lot is
$500 which your committee thinks is
very reasonable.
That driveway out at the rear end
Of this property is over land owned
