the committee to give 16 dances for the
benefit Of the band. Monday evening
a dance had been held and it netted
$50. Mr.. Schliesmann will sign con-
tract for a year at a salary of $1O0 a
month, and stated that number of or
chestra men with whom he has been af-
fliated, would like to make their head
quarters here while on the road playing
for dances.
AS the city has only 5000 in the treas
ury for band purposes it was decided to
offer Mr.. Schliesmann a contract for
nine months which will be extended to
year as soon as the deficient $500 is
in the treasury, which will be as soon
as the band committee has collected it's
pledges. There is bill before the leg
islature now which, if passed, will en-
able cities the size of Little Falls to
double the amount now allowed for
band purposes. Little Falls is now al
lowed one half mill in taxes for band
purposes.

appointed to work with Prof. Schlies-
mann under his advisement, in running
the band. ,.~s

looking up land locations recently he
found that land Oh the outskirts
of the city was being assessed in the
Townships to which they formerly be

clerk and city attorney were instructed
to work with the assessor in looking up
these lands and to have the change
made on the books of the county audi
tor and county treasurer. .....
