MAYOR CHAMPLIN BRINGS
TOPIC BEFORE COUNCIL

meeting of the council this morning
reported that he had attended
meeting in st. Paul last Saturday,
which had been called by Governor

the relief of Tyler, Mimi, which was
devastated by the recent cyclone.
Representatives from many of the
municipalities in the state were present
and as result of the meeting
committee will be appointed by the
governor to go to Tyler to investi-
gate the needs, and each municipal
ity will apportion its share toward
the relief work. A number of cities
have already donated large sums Of
money.
Not Asking For Donations.
Tyler representatives who were
present at the meeting, including the
three bankers, intimated that their
town was not asking for donations
but would like to have Tylers credit
extended, and they would then be
able to build up their own town. 1t
was estimated that it will take some
where near 100000 to $1.000,000 to
repair the damage wrought by the
cyclone. The Mankato council thought
this very big estimate. ~

kato will do it's share toward raising
any Necessary fund. SO it was gener-
ally decided by the Mankato council
after discussing the matter. Mayor
Champlin stated that there was ap-
parently desire among those at the
st. Paul meeting last Saturday to
make the committee permanent re-
lief committee to look after any
places in the state that may suffer
from catastrophies, such as storms,
fires, floods, etc.
