BUILDING OF PUBLIC HALL IS
PROJECT OF COMMUNITY

fhUJECI Ut CUV4NOIN11 -.
A special meeting was called here
last Thursday evening to discuss the
erection Of public hall. The meet
ing was we'll attended and the spirit
prevailing for the project was very
animated. Everybody present was
willing to place their shoulder to the
wheel and the result was that during
the evening about $500 was subscribed
for the building, which was more than
was expected for the first meeting. A
committee consisting of F. G. Dolls,
Bernhard Ranum, Selmer Haugen and
A. s. Holm was appointed to canvass
the community more thoroughly. The
intention is that the hall shall be built
by the farmers in the community and
the business men in town. Shares will
be sold at cost of $25 each and any
man may buy one or more of these.
The size and construction of the build
ing is not yet definitely agreed upon,'
although the prevailing opinion seems
to favor a size of about 3Ox4O and two
stories high, the upper floor to be used
for the hall and the downstairs to he
rented out to some business enterprise.
A hall is a much needed improvement
in this community, and many of the
people are very enthusiastic and it the
present boosting is carried on there
seems to be no question that the plan
should not be realized.
