:
Club last Wednesday evening at the
club rooms. 1t was the regular March
session which had been postponed from
the first Monday in the month to some
later day, on account Of the mask
ball at the Turner Hall. 1t had been
difficult to find suitable day, the
president, c.. A. Stolz, announced ana
therefore he suggested holding the
meetings according to schedule IN the
future. -
VIII sHave Luncheon.
The day of the meeting OF the club
will be the first Monday in the month,
as heretofore. But there will be change
in the time and place as it was I'M
animously decided by those present
to discuss the questions before the
club at luncheon participated IN by
all members who wish to attend. The
place is to be selected by the entertain
ment committee.
There was no decision regarding
the annual banquet but it was suggested
to have it some time after Easter,
probably at the Turner nall.
Good News Received
Mr. Sto)z notified the members during
the course of the meeting that the
efforts of Mr.. Alexander Russell to
secure the designation OF the Scenic
Sioux Indian trail as a state road by
the legislature had been successful
and that this road which runs past the
Kuehnel farm and up the river to
Fl. Ridgely had been Incorporated IN
the so-cailed Babcock plan for the
establishment Of highways all thru
the state. It was pointed out by
P. Liesch that this. was valuable
asset to the city of New Ulm, opening
no a durable and steady artery from
and to this region and proposed vote
of thanks to MIR. Russell in appreciation
of his work. He stated further that
it would not be more than right to pay
the expenses of MIR. Russell's two trips
TO St. Paul made in behalf of this matter
Is Mr.. Russell should offer bill to this
effect.
City Streets Criticised
Tn connection with the good roads
problem the discussion swung over TO
the condition Of some OF the streets
in the city proper. 1t was expressly
stated by some of the speakers and
by the president that this was not
meant as a criticism of the attitude
of the city council but rather as an
expression of the desire on the part
of the club to be of assistance in the
matter. Among the streets mentioned
were Valley, Front, and the lower
portion of first North. and Center
streets
Mr.. Otto1neyer commended the work
that has been done on North State
street in curbing and boulevardlng
the street and referred to the we'll known
fact that some of the streets are too
wide in their present state and that
they should be boulevarded. This quest
ton had been before the council while
he was member, he said, but the
difficulty seemed to lie in the opposition
of the residents Of those streets, especially
on Broadway
No Support From Club
One of the first matters taken up
by the president was the question
of giving support to project which
has been and still is being promoted
by Mr.. Paulsen of Minneapolis to
erect dry milk plant in this city.
This question had been up for several
months and at the February meeting
it was referred to the Industrial commit
tee. Two members of this committee,
). A. Ochs and Wesley C. Miller, made
an investigation OF plant at Anoka,
Mr.. Stolz stated.
They reported, he said, at recent
meeting of the full committee which
finally decided to leave the report
in the hands of the Subcommittee.
The report, therefore, was not submitted
to the club and on recommendation
of the president it was decided to leave
the proposition of Mr. Paulsen where
it stands today and do nothing that
might look like an approval on the
part of the club.
Mr.. Stolz stated further that deal
had been in progress for buying the
old Schmucker brewery for the new
concern but that two notes which
had been offered Mr.. John Schneider
in part payment Tor It, had been found
worthless. .
Want To Locate Here s
Another proposition regarding the
establishment of a new industry here
in New Uln came before the club.
The president informed the members
of letter which had been before the
directors meeting the week before,
and which had been referred to the
