SHORT EXAM. PAPERS

County Superintendent Boerger, on
Saturday announced that it would be
impossible for the count yto offer the
state board exams in every rural
school Of the county as had been pre-
viously stated in the papers. 1t was
thought that the state legislature had
provided for enough sets of questions
to go around but this is not true and
Stearns county will get but 65 or 20
sets for the 210 schools. These will
be allotted later.
This will mean that Stearns coun-
ty will get about so per cent more
questions than before. Prior to this
year one examination was given in
each township, but no announcement
as to how the county win be divided
this year has been made as yet.-St.

let CONTRACTFOR
A WATER SURVEY
L. d. WOLF OF ST. PAUL GIVEN
CONTRACT TO WORK OUT
PLAN FOR CITY
Will TEST OUT LAKE WATER
SUGGESTS CONSTRUCTION OF
WATER TOWER TO COM
MISSION AT MEETING

L. D. Wolf of st. Paul, an en-
gineer of considerable experience, has
been granted the contract by the city
water and light commission to make
a survey Of water conditions in Sank
Centre.
The contract given Mr.. Wolf re-
suited from conference of the COM
mission held Monday afternoon.
It is the plan Of the commission
to have the engineer make a COM
plete survey of water conditions in
Sank Centre with view to making
city water of use for household pur-
poses.
Mr.. Wolf, it is understood, will
take and test samples of the water
in Sank Lake; drill and test water
taken from wells in the vicinity of
the lake and in various points about
the city.
The objects of these tests will be to
decide whether or not it will pay the
city to drill for hard water for city
uses or to construct filtering sys-
tenn and use the water Of Sank Lake.
In his talk before the committee
Monday, Mr.. Wolf suggested the
construction here of a standpipe
system with a water tower.
One Of the plans to be acted up
on by the engineer will be that of
a system of wells for the liberation
of the water of Sank Lake. This
plan is advised oavoid, if possible,
the adoption Of hard water by the
city could not be used by the house
wife for washing purposes. It is the
belief ofsmembers of the commission
that more satisfactory service would
be rendered by the liberation system,
using lake water.
After making a complete survey
Of the local situation, Mr.. Wolf will
include in his report to the commits
sion, his recommendations Of pro-
ceedure and the estimated cost of the
proposed water system to Sank
Centre.
Mr.. Wolf is not a stranger to
Sank Centre. He was the engineer
who constructed the first sewer sys-
tenn here and is at present construct
ing sewer system at Brainerd.
