NEW ULM MUNICIPAL PLANT
SUPPLIED WITH ALL FUEL
NEEDED.

- = - - Wa IA ALL Il VEL
NEEDED.
At the regular monthly meeting Of the
city council held last Tuesday evening
the council partially reversed them
selves by granting to the City of st.
James the use of not less than one cannon
and the necessary equipment therefor.
This matter was up before the Council
several weeks ago and at that time the
request of the city of st. James was
fatty turned down. It seems that since
then the members of Burg's Battery
have considered the matter more fully
and are willing that the city council
should loan the St. James Battery one
cannon and equipment provided that
the city Of St. James guarantee to return
the property in as good shape as when
they receive it and that a bond in the
sum of 100000 be executed to make
the agreement effective.
Dempsey Appointed City Attorney.
Upon the recommendation Of acting
Mayor Fred Behnke, w. H. Dempsey
who has been acting city attorney since
Attorney Albert Pfaender was suspended
by Gov. Burnquist, was appointed city
attorney. Martin and Peter Penning
and VIM. Radtke each having agreed to
pay the city of New Ulm the sum Of
$500 q month for the next three years,
the electric line extension on Summit
Ave-, was granted. Two Of the gentle
men who had the ready cash, paid the
whole three years in advance, each the
sum Of $3.50. If the amount Of electricity
used by these consumers exceeds the
sum Of $500 a month they will have to
pay such additional charge. After the
three years are up, they will pay for their
Electricity the Same rate as p now
charged other consumers.
