ANOTHER FORWARD MOVE

At the council meeting Tuesday
evening the city fathers decided TO
purchase the lot east of the power
plant, on which the little one-story
building stands next to the walk, OF
Elmer Void for $4,000. This is a very
wise move on the part of the city, as
it is a move in the direction Of secur-
ing all the land on the south side o I
Williams street opposite the high
school block. If nothing more is done
with this lot than to remove the old
structure, grade and beautify it, then
a good work has been accomplished
and another step taken in making
Brookings a better and prettier place
in which to live. The city needs that
lot, as the present power plant nearly
overs the present location and any
additions that are necessary in the
future would demand its purchase.
Buying it o means buying it before
the price is higher. 1t was a wise
move on the part of the city council.
