ING RINK-ANTON GRANTED
BUILDING PERMIT,

Ine city council held an adjourned
regular meeting at the city hall Friday
evening with Aldermen Moeglein,
Brown, Raymond, N. j. Peterson, George
Peterson and LaFond present.
Mayor Bergheim, chairman of the
committee on skating rink, reported
that the committee had inspected sever
al suitable places and had decided upon
the high school grounds as the most
suitable as the gymnasium there would
be available as a warming room. He
stated that it would cost ST. per eve--
ming for janitor's services and that it
would cost approximately $75 to put
the grounds in shape for rink. The
Water Power company has offered to
furnish the water free. By making it
municipal rink it could be maintained
by the city, under the supervision of the
street commissioner.
F. W. Dobbyn, a member Of the COM
mittee, stated that the high school
gymnasium could be used for warm
ing room but that it could not be used
for any other purpose by people at the
rink. He estimated that the total cost
for the maintenance of the rink and
use Of the building would not exceed
$500.
Upon motion by Alderman George
Peterson the committees report was
accepted and the council went on rec
ord in favor of the esta ablishing of the
rink. Acting President N. j. Peterson
was instructed to appoint committee
Of two as skating rink committee but
he left this selection for Chairman
Hall. Street Commissioner LaFond
was instructed to grade and level the
grounds preparatory to making the
rink.
Alderman Moeglein reported that the
committee appointed at the previous
meeting to interview Mr.. Mullowney
regarding the material to be used in
the construction Of the lumber shed Of
tried to see Mr.. Mullowney but that he
was out of town. They had, however,
spoken to Mr.. Anderson, who has
charge during Mr.. Mullowney's alb
sence, and he had inslicated that the
company perhaps would be willing to
place stucco on the walls Of the build
ings so as to reduce the fire hazard.
An ordinance to extend the fire linn
it's had previously been drawn up with
a view to bringing it before the coun-
Gil, but nothing was done with this. A
motion was made that this ordinance
bed roppcd but Mayor Bergheim gave
the. council to understand that other
PERSONS property should not be jeop-
ardized by the erection of a structure
that would be fire hazard. A discus
sion as to the extension of the fire linn
it's followed and one man suggested the
passing Of an ordinance requiring per-
mits for all building construction in the
city. The fire committee was instruct
cd to look over the part Of the city
located in the fire limit and that ad-
joining and report to the council MAX
ing some recommendation. In the case
of this particular building it was dccid-
ed to have committee from the coun-
Gil confer with Mr.. Mullowney and if
satisfactory arrangements could be
made to permit him to continue build
ing.
George Anton was granted a permit
to erect lumber and building material
warehouse on the two lots just east of
the Little Falls House. Mr.. Anton fl
cd written statement with the coun-
Gil agreeing to use brick or tile for the
side and rear walls of the building. He
stated that this work could not be done
this winter, however, but that he was
willing to furnish $4,000 bond to in
sure compliance with that requirement,
in the spring. Permit was granted.
