That all Of Sank Centres future
civic improvements are virtually
based upon the adequate maintenance
of the city's power plant, was the
decision arrived at Wednesday night
at joint public conference of the
Water and Light Commission Of the
Commercial Club.
+, The meeting was called for the
purpose of feeling the pulse of the
people in the matter of civic i'm
provements as regards plans for the
installation of new water. works and
white way upon which the COM
mission has been working for some
time past.
The general opinion of the public
as sensed at the Wednesday meeting
was that the present light and power
service rendered the city was far
from satisfactory and that eventual
ly, it would be necessary to return to
the local manufacture of electric en-
ergy, or that in the event that the
present service was continued, the
safeguard of substantial local
power plant was essential to good
service here.
Acting upon this conclusion, the
Commercial Club, almost to man,
recommended to the Commission,
that before steps be taken to bond
the city for the proposed water inn
provements, that an investigation be
made of the plans to overcome trou-
BILE at the light plant, and that when
a suitable plan is arrived at and sub
mitted to the public, that an election
be called to vote On the matter OF
general improvement as a whole.
Engineer Wolfe of st. Paul, who
drafted the plans for the proposed
water supply, read his report before
the meeting in which he gave estl-
mates of the costs of the installation
of various schemes to secure pure
water for the city Of Sank Centre.
President Hennemann of the Com
mission, stated that1it was absolutely
necessary that new water mains be
laid in the city within the course OF
a few months. The old mains, ne
said. had outlived their day and their
presence here was a continual men
ace to the city's welfare.
The commission suggested that III

SCHO0LsCHI[DREN
EXAMINED MONDAY
PREVALENCE OF SMALL POX IN
COMMUNITY NECESSITATED
HEALTH PROBATION
COUNTY,. FALLS down
FAILURE TO APPEAR AFTER
REQUEST MAGISTRATES
USING OK LOCAL NURSE

An examination of all children in
the public schools of Sank. Centre
was necessary. on Tuesday before
the schools could be opened to re-
sumo their school work. -.-.
This examination was found nee
essary because of the presence in the
community of several cases of small
pox and measles.
Superintendent J. c. West made
arrangements last week to have
Miss Backes tile county nurse, come
to Sank Centre in time to examine
the school children on the morning
of the opening day. Miss Backes how
ever failed to appear at the appoint
ed time, and in view Of the urgent
need of nurse, Mrs. A. F. Moyni-
han was drafted into the service of
the schools.
During the examination, Mrs. A.
F. Moynihan discovered one case of
measles and number of symptoms
of other diseases developed by the
children during the vacation period
The examination continued for two
days anG those found i'll were inn
mediately sent ito their homes.
Supt. West was considerable peev-
ed by the failure of the county nurse
to keep her appointment here Tues
day. Had it not been for the fact
that Mrs. Moynihan was present and
willing to assume this branch of the
work, the schools of the city could
never have opened Tuesday morning.
:''We are just lucky in having a
trained nurse here who we can de-
pend upon in 'pinches' like this" said
Mr.. West. "Sauk Centre is contri-
buting $500 or about a fourth of the
yearly salary of the county nurse,
still, in crisis of this kind we can-
not secure her services. 1t may be
that she was called elsewhere at the
last moment but the least the Red
Cross department under which she
works could have done, would have
been to notify us of her failure to
appear here +~,
The examinations of the children
was made in systematic manner.
Those who gave evidence of having
been i'll, were examined first and the
grading consisted of three classes.
Contagious disease is not preva-
lent in the schools it was found, and
it will not be necessary to close the
institution because of the few cases
of measles discovered.
Miss Backes, county nurse, arrived
in Sank Centre Tuesday afternoon
and relieved Mrs. Moynihan OF the
work at the school. Because OF the
condition existing in the school, Miss
Backes will remain on duty in the
Sank Centre schools for the remain
der of the week and longer, If the
situation demands her immediate at
tention.
Supt. West Wednesday announced
that at the next meeting OF the
School Board, he would ask that a
permanent nurse be secured for the
Sank Centre schools. 81 want a
nurse employed as member OF our
working force, one whom we can re-
tain here through the entire school
year to look after the children and
render such services as we may re-
quire. I shall propose this matter to
the board at its next meeting and II
necessary shall call for a special
meeting to discuss the matter"

COMPANY ARE PLACED

EACH OF 10 COMPANIES IN Or
GAN1ZATION WILL CARE

An effort on the part of a number
Of the stockholders of the Sank VAL
ley Telephone Company, a corpora
ton, to dissolve the organization and
operate the lines individually, was
defeated at a meeting of the officers
and stockholders at the city hall
here Tuesday afternoon.
The gist of the difficulty seemed
to drift around the contention that
the affairs of the company under
the then existing condition, were not
properly conducted and that the COM
pany as result, was unable to meet
its obligations and render adequate
service to its patrons.
1t was decided at the close of the
meeting to continue the business as
a single corporation, the same be-
ing the parent company of ten farm
lines operating in the vicinity, but to
so reconstruct the management of
the company as to meet with the
needed requirements.
Many of the farmers and stock
holders present at the meeting ia
vored the individual operation of the
respective lines and the abolishing
of the corporation. This plan how
ever, was fought by a few on the
grounds that to abolish the corpora
ton would, to a very large extent,
hamper the legal rights under which
the same, as corporation, is now
operating. ~..s
An election Of officers was held
and A. H. Hendrickson was elected
to succeed himself as president and
w. A. Zimmerman, was elected sec
rotary and treasurer.
Under the new arrangement, each
of the individual lines comprising the
Sank Valley Telephone company,
will take care of it's own repairs and
pay all of it's own bills. Each of
these lines has a full. quota. of: Off
GERS serving: Under. the :.iurisdict;on
of the sadls: VALLEY: Telephone COM
pany. -. -: -. >:
MI. ziina,esian, who chanapiened
the plan to: iretahi the corporation,
based his plea upon the benefits to be
derived by remaining under the in
corporation laws. He showed how as
corporation personal injury claims
could not be directed against any
but the company itself, whereas, if
operating as partnership, any one
of the stockholders might be made
personally responsible for these
claims.
Mr.. Zimmerman cited the posi-
bility of the probable purchase OF
the lines by larger company in case
of dissolution and of the various
methods which might then be found
necessary to insure good farm SER
vice
Acting upon the argument Of Mr..
Zimmerman, the stockholders then
voted to retain their status as cor
poration or parent company.
The Sank Valley Telephone Com
pany has 200 stockholders now on
their books. The company is COM
posed of ten contributory lines and
has total Of 100 telephone stations
now in use.
