SOLDIERS OF NEW ULM WILL
BE PRESENTED WITH WAR
MEMORIALS

After lengthy discussion by the
Council at their regular meeting held
Tuesday President L. B. Krook ap-
pointed a committee to investigate
the matter of presenting each Of the
men in service from the city of New Ulm
with suitable memorial. The mem
bers of the committee are Mayor Eib-
ner, Councillor Christ Filzen, and City
Attorney w. H. Dempsey. They will
secure the necessary data and arrange
for the purchase of suitable memorials
and will submit to the council at the
next regular meeting a report of their
efforts.
Listing the Soldiers
While this matter was under dis
cussion Herman Held, chairman of
the War Welfare work told the Council
that his committee was preparing a
list of the men from Brown County who
were in the service, including not only
those who had been drafted into the
service, but also those who had volun-
teered which list was also to contain
the names of all the nurses of Brown
County who are in the service. AS soon
as this is completed it will be at the
disposal of the City Council.
Arrange Military Funerals
A committee from the Commercial
Club, consisting of Herman Held, A. L.
Book, and Philip Liesch appeared be-
fore the council and suggested the pay
ment by the city of the sum OF $50
incurred in securing Captain Hofmeister's
band which officiated at the funerals OF
John Helget, John Saeckl, Jr., and Otto
Heymann, Jr., who had died in the
service and whose remains were brought
here for interment. The bill was al
lowed and Mayor Eibner is hereafter to
arrange for military funerals, should any
more deaths occur among the soldier
boys from New Ulm and their remains
be brought here for burial.
Can Pay Bonds
The council rescinded their former
action taken at recent meeting look
ing towards refundment of the bond
issue of $4,000 which natures July 1,
1919. 1t appears now as tho the city's
finances would be in such condition
that the bonds can be paid when they
fall due and this is proposed to be done.
Upon estimates furnished by the
supervising architects of the new City
Hall, the contractor was allowed the
sum of $1O,852.6O
The city clerk was instructed to turn
over to the County Auditor an assess
ment roll giving the names of those
who have failed to pay their assess
ment for street improvements so that
the amounts due can be extended upon
the tax books.
Fire Dept. Matters
Chief Engels appointments of Jos.
Groebner as first assistant and Fred
Pfaender as second assistant chief of
the fire department were approved and
the Chiefs request for new hose was

In view Of the fact that New Ulm
will not have paid fire department..
for several years, Chief Engel recon-
mended that TIE steel tubing which
was to be placed in the building to
enable the firemen to slide from their
hunks from the second floor to the first
floor, be dispensed with at this time.
The recommendation received the APP
proval of the Council and thereby a
saving is made of $4S3 in the cost Of
the equipment. 1t appears that some

and water works have been i'll and the
