Councilman Lack filed a COM
munication he had received from the
Northern States Power company will
the council. This was in the form o.
a request by that company to be
permitted to erect transformers on g
triangular piece of ground owned BY
the city at the intersection of West
Front, West Sixth streets and More
land avenue. The Northern States
use Of that piece of ground to park
it and make it as attractive as pos
sible. Councilman Lack said that
there was considerable objection or
the part of the residents of West
Mankato to the proposition.
"Did the Northern States Power
company ever give us anything fol
nothing?" asked Mayor Beach,
"No. your honor, they have not,
said Councilman Lack, land l make
a motion that the request be moi
granted" The entire council voted
against the granting of the request.

On motion of Councilman Ander
son City Clerk Bates was authorized
to advertise for bids on 10000 gal
Ions more or less of road oil and
tarvia.
Councilman Kleinschmidt said that
he thought that extension of the wa
ter mains asked for on West Sixth
street was out of the question owing
to the fact that part of the trench
necessary for such an extension
would have to be blasted through
rock. He was strongly Of the opin
ion that the water frontage tax would
certainly have to be higher than five
cents per running foot as now. II
would cost over $1,000 to make the
improvement and then there would
be few patrons on the line from which
to reap any revenue. The PROPOSE
tion was voted down. for the present
Henry Mailman was very much IN
favor of making the extension.

OKUMA ON DISARMING
Jap Ex-Premier. Says Great and
Strong Should Start First

Toxic, May 4.-Writing of arma-
ment reductions in the Taikwan,
Marquis Okuma, elder statesman and
ex- premier, declares that concessions
should be made first by the great and
the strong. He adds: 'The propos-
ed eight and eight feet of Japan may
sound big, but compared with the
naval strength of Great Britain or
the United States, it is not even half
as strong. In the face of the Amer
lean navy, Japan's is only a mini
mum. To expect Japan to proceed
with disarmament before the others
can only be expecting the impossible
Naval reduction as practical meas
ure must, therefore, come first from
Great Britain and America
The nations of the world are, con-
cludes the Marquis, all groaning un-
der the heavy burden Of armament
expenditure, which is ever more
growing. The weight is especially
felt by Japan which is by no means
rich and she will be more than glad
to be able to find relief.
