Resolutions directed to Mayor ], A.
Dinnie and members Of the city coun-
ell were passed at the regular meet
ing Of the Parent-Teachers' associa-
ton OF the Belmont school yesterday
afternoon praying that steps be taken
to secure for Emil Knutson every
possible care in restoring him back
TO health. The lads leg was broken
and crushed midway below the knee
when he was struck by heavy car
on South Third street nearly two
weeks ago.
The Parent-Teachers' association
has been making an investigation Of
the case. The resolutions were first
adopted by the executive committee,
and In turn submitted to a meeting
OF the membership. by whom they
were adopted without a dissenting
vote.
The lad. who has been attending
the Belmont school, is the son Of
Mrs. X. K. Knutson of Minnesota
avenue. Conditions have necessitated
that the mother work for the sup
port of her family Of eight children,
and to provide for them is almost
beyond her means. The accident
which rendered her son helpless has
driven her almost frantic, and be-
cause Of financial straits her mothers
heart has been unable to give him
the comforts she would like to pro-
vide. She has been compelled to
walk to the hospital to visit her boy
IN sub-zero weather because she has
been unable to afford the small
amount required for street car fare.
The ladies interested in the case
are determined that something must
be done, and make their appeal in
the hope that public sentiment. never
Ia Iacking in deserving cases. will help
them in worthy relief. Mothers
and teachers have enlisted their ef-
forts in movement to raise funds.
After being run over. Emil wac
taken to the office Of DIR. w. c. Will
son. where the fractured limb was set.
later. he was taken to st. Michaers
hospital. where he has been under
me care OF DR.. s. H. Irwin. the coun-
" physician. At present he is re-
ported to be getting along nicely.
