The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1921-05-19

FRIDAY nights meeting voted unan-
to start two petitions for the |
of roads leading into
Sank Centre. One petition is address
sed to the State Highway Commits
sioner, Babcock, requesting that the
road from Sank Centre to St. Cloud
be hard surfaced. All residents of
the city and all farmers on or near
this road are urged to sign this peti-
ton. 1t has been stated by leading
men from the towns through which
this road passes, that they would
heartily support the project if Sank
Centre would start the ball rolling
The success of this petition may not
mean that the desired hard surface
ing will be done this year, but it will
put the matter before the Commits
sioner strongly and aid in getting the
desired work done on this strip of
road sooner than might otherwise be
the case
The other petition is addressed to
the County Commissioners of Steains
county and requests that body to take
the necessary steps to put the road
leading south out of Sank Centre and
generally known as the Belgrade
road" in good condition. These petit
lions are equally deserving of your
support. They were first circulated
last Saturday and SO far have met
with the best of success. The man
appointed by the Commercial Club to
circulate them is George Bergman.
At this time it is proposed TO make
''Road Boosting Tour" to Melrose
when the petition is passed on to that
city for circulation. Notice of that
Boosting Tour" will be giver in a
later issue-watch for it.
The CONDITION of the Birch Lake
road between Sank Centre and
Spaulding was also taken up. lnfor-
nation obtained from reliable sources
was to the effect that the survey had
been completed and the contract has
been let and work will commence
within the next few weeks. At pre-
sent thisgis a very bad stretch of road.
Todd county has let the contract for
building the road between Spaulding
| and Swanville ard the work has al
ready been begun.
! A committee to cooperate with
those previously authorized by the city
council and Sank Centre Country
Club IN the matter of the Tourists
Park" which it is proposed to locate
on the southern extremity of the
Country Club property, was appoint
ed and instructed to use it's best
influence to get immediate action, as
the Tourists Park is considered a
valuable asset to the community.
The & monthly "Get Together
Luncheon of the Commercial Club
members was heartily endorsed by
those in attendance, consequently it
was decided to hold the next gather
ing of this kind on this Thursday
evening MAY 19th) at Fairy Lake
Resort at TOO p. m. All members OF
the Club should make an effort to at
tend these luncheons and bring a
visitor with him. The cost of the
luncheon will be rs cents per plate.
Ed. Hansen was appointed a COM
mittee of one to make the necessary
arrangements and was to be notified
not later than Thursday morning by
those wishing reservations.
The Club as a whole were very well
| pleased with the first luncheon and
with Mr.. Tanners service at that
time and the winter gatherings of
this nature will undoubtedly be held
at the Palmer House. Mr.. thinner
mans Fairy Lake Resort is consider
ed as a community project that de-
serves the support of the entire To-
cality and so will be patronized for
the functions when the weather per-
mits.
/ At a later date it is proposed to
have an evening of entertainment for
the members and their wives or lady
friends and it is hoped that these
meetings can also be made regular
practice.
