FIRST STREET FILL
WILL BE COSTLY
ENGINEER ESTIMATES COST AT
$1,000 to $4,000 COUNCIL
DEFERS ACTION

Fills needed on the West side of
First street southeast between Second
and Fifth Avenues, in order to bring
that street up to full width of 100 feet
between the points named would cost
$12,600, according to an estimate SUBJ
mitted by City Engineer Reilly at a
meeting of the council Thursday eve
ming of last week. TO make the street
IS feet wide would cost approximately
100000, he reported. The council
took no action in the matter.
Mr.. Reilly was requested at the pre-
vious meeting to prepare the estimate,
as the result Of petition being filed
for the paving Of that street from Sec
ond to Eighth avenue. In his report he
stated that retaining wall would cut
the cost considerable, approximately
$4,000, as it would reduce the amount
Of dirt necessary by about five thousand
yards.
The council decided to dispense with
the services Of L. P. Wolff Of st. Paul,
consulting engineer, in connection with
explorations for city water wells. The
aldermen felt that little had been ac'
complished as result of the ten test
wells already sunk and it was decided
to have one more we'll sunk, under the
supervision Of the street committee, by
local we'll driller, on land northeast of
the city.
r. E. Perkins was granted plumb
er's license, after furnishing the council
with satisfactory references as to his
qualifications. Joe Payers application
for plumbers license was rejected as
he had failed to comply with the re-
quest of the council for references.
A bill Of the Layne & Bowler Com
pany for drilling test wells was allowed,
in the sum Of $242.25.
The street commissioner was instruct.
ed to fix up Fifth avenue northeast,
beyond Eighth street, at a cost not to
exceed $35.
Council adjourned to Sept. 81.

city turned out Monday afternoon in a
drizzling rain to pay their last respects

life in the World war, Lloyd O. Magee,
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. 81. NJ. Magee of
Third street southeast. This was the
last funeral of Little Falls boy

Gated in Little Falls and was well
known and popular here. He was
employed as reported on the Transcript

purchased the weekly newspaper there,
the Eveleth News. At the time that the
late Col. T. r. Roosevelt sought to take
an expeditionary force to France from
this country Mr.. Magee enlisted for
same. When Col. Roosevelt was denied
this privilege, Mr.. Magee enlisted in
the regular army and after a brief
period Of training in this country he
went overseas. :. He saw a great deal
of action at the front and was fatally
wounded in the Meuse-Argonne battle
on October 2, 1918, by an exploding
shell.
The remains arrived in Little Falls
from France last Friday and the funer-
al was held from the Methodist Epis-
copal church Monday afternoon at 3
o'clock. Rev. Geo. Geer officiated, as
sisted by Rev. A. G. Bacon, American
Legion chaplain. The funeral was con-
Quoted by the local Legion post and

Enke, Titus Plettl, Fred Larson and
Ernest Carlson were pallbearers. The
Legion firing squad fred the usual
salute over the grave and V. E. Joslin
played "taps.''
Mr.. Magee was a member Of the Eve.
leth Elks lodge and in fact was the
only member of the Eveleth lodge who
was killed in action. Several members
Of the Eveleth lodge, including Theo.
H. Peterson, were here for the funeral

$4,700,7 ,735.76 INCREASE IN RE
CEIPTS

The first Of series Of sectional Con-
ventions of Managers Of the great
chain of J. G. Penney Company stores
was held in st. Louis on September
10th and 18th. Over hundred mana
gers were in attendance. Other con-
ventions will follow at st. Paul on Sep
tember 23rd and oath, Portland on
September 30th and October lst, and
Salt Lake City on October 7th and Sth.
Prevailing conditions as they are
generally understood to exist, are not
reflected in the financial report of this
Nationwide institution, which shows
that for the first eight months Of this
year, the gross receipts were $4,70o,-
1876 in excess of the figures for the
corresponding period of last year.
President E. G. Sans attributes this
increase largely to the fact that the
public nowadays is shopping around
and buying merchandise of quality at
the lowest possible pr;ce. The purchas'
ing power OF such tremendous organ
ization as the j. c. Penney Company
naturally makes possible the buying of
selected merchandise os high quality SO
as to retail it at low g$icas.

VOTERS DEFEATED
PARK PROPOSITION
kEfbRENDUM ELECTION SHOWS
1342 AGAINST AND 460 FOR
PURCHASE OF LOTS

Voters Of Little Falls, at q referen-
dunn election held Tuesday, overwhelm-
ingly defeated the proposition to pur-
chase seven lots south of Broadway
near the bridge, to be used as part Of
a Memorial park. The vote was l342
against the proposition and 400 for it.
The question as submitted was whether
the city should purchase the lots men
toned above, to be used as part of u
Memorial park, at cost not to exceed
$l1,800. Although the weather was
bad throughout the day, vote nearly
approaching the general election was
cast. -. - ...-......
The vote BY wards on the question
was as follows:
First Ward
Against purchase ................ 4O9
Second Wacd
For purchase l64
Against purchase .............. 3l2
n Third Ward
Against purchase ................ 346
Fourth Ward
For purchase ~
Ballots cast and not counted. ..... 13
Total number of votes cast .... 1915
Total vote for purchase. .......... AGO
Total vote against purchase. ..... .1342
Up to the time the ballots were count
ed both sides were predicting victory
and that the proposition would be
showed under so badly was hardly
looked for by the opposition.
The proposition for the purchase Of
these lots by the city of Little Falls
came up first at meeting Of the city
council nearly three months ago. The
council passed the. ordinance providing
for the purchase of the lots, Aldermen
Hall, N. j. Peterson, Geo. Il. Peterson,
Raymond, Brown and Olson voting for
it on it's first reading and Aldermen
Moeglein and Blake voting against it.
Alderman Wieland was not present at
this meeting but in a communication to
the council stated that he was in favor
of it and that had he been present, he
would have voted for it. The vote
was the same at the next meeting on
the last reading. When the ordinance
came to Mayor Bergheim for signature
he declined to sign it and it was re-
turned to the council unsigned and ac-
companied by message from the may
or, explaining his veto. The mayor W
posed the purchase of these lots at tho
meeting of the council when the or
dinance was given its first reading. At
tor the mayors veto Of the ordinance,
the council passed it over his veto.
Under the provisions of the city char
ter, petition was consequently circu-
lated and submitted to the council, ask
ing that the ordinance be repealed or
the question submitted to the voters at
a referendum election, .Iks council &C.
cordingly called a special election to
vote on the proposition.
| No doubt some definite action will
be taken by the Morrison County Mem
orial Association in the near future in
connection with the memorial park
matter. President Kiewel states that
a meeting Of the trustees will likely
be held the first of the week to discuss
the matter and possibly meeting of
the general membership Of the associa-
| f;op will ho oo11o1 1otor
