CITY MAKES fine BOND SALE

Milbank's $4,000 bond issue was
sold Tuesday evening to the Drake
Ballard company of Minneapolis at an
interest rate Of 5 q per cent and a
premium Of S2l5. This il an excep-
tiorally good sale, and there we're
many bids for the bonds. Milbank has
a splendid financial standing with the
bond houses over the country and it
is due to this fact that the city was
able to secure the exceptional sale
made. No other city in the state or in
Minnesota has been able to sell it's
bonds ct as good a price as Milbank
did.
The money will be available within
a short time and will be reloanad to
the First National and Farmers &
Merchants National hanks at the same
rate of interest. subject to call of the
city officials
The council has one set of plans for
the community building and will call
for competitive plans within the next
few months. Careful consideration
will be given all of them and the best
points of all embodied into the plans
under which the building will be con
stfueted
1t is impossible to forecast conditions
next spring OF summer, but it is thot
that the actual construction of the
building will he started before 1925.
At least the basement should he built
so that the superstructure can be
started early in the spring of 1928
and completed before the cold weather
of the following fall.
Considerable thot should be given
the snoeest ton which has lust been
voiced that the city school boai,l
could, by joining in the project, erect
q third story to the building to be
used as high school. This sugges-
ton has merits, many believe, that
the school board could profit by The
additional cost to TIE building wou'sl
not be great as compared with the cost
Of q suitable building for such a pur-
pos A new school building will be
PC SarN in the near future, as the
schoa' ccneus shows the crowded con
ditioa OF the school at the present

to be heated to be success, ard with
the school rooms in the same building,
less heat would be sufficient for both
the community building and the school
than would be ased if each were in a
separate building. This item is well
worth considering.
No doubt fhc idea vii! be discussed
considerably before definite steps are
taken in any case, both by the city
officials, the school board. and the
citizens.

Dear Sir ard Neighbor:-As l. lave

ing of old friends back in Milbank,
and after talking last evening with G..
l.. Wood, who informed me that you
had some idea of looking over this
locality in the view of learning living
conditions, also the present labor con
ditions in your line, | thought it might
not be anliss TO write You giving you
my views of Los Angeles and vicinity
as regarding living and working con-
ditions.
When Mrs. Bowe and myself arriv.
ed here ore year ago last May and
looked over the building activities and
the rush and push that was being in
lected into everything, we thought
that there was big boom on and
were just little afraid to buy at the
top of the boom IN fear that in a wear
or SO times would get hard and as a
consequence we would lose on, our
nve'tment. but our prediction has
failed wonfully for instead of going
back all kinds of business has stead
lily forged ahead until at this time
there is easily three times the hu IL
ness and also double the building
there was year ago. Lots and va
cant property near where we bought
doubled in price and not only doubled
but sold and now have buildings on
them while we thought they were out
OF reason in price at that time There
was a lot one block from our place
that real estate man urged me to
buy at Sll0O and we thought it was
much more than j. was worth SO we
TUNED it down. In about month
that lot sold for $500 and the man
who bought it put up four unit
flat bullQinr ON it and couple OF
weeks ago sold it for s25, 900. A cor
ner lot 10ON 100, one and one-,lalf
blocks from our place sold a couple
of months ago for. 100000 and
think that the man who bought it i,

me to describe to YOU so YOU coul.l
realize its magnitude the wonderful

the increase. | do not think there are
any carpenters, plumbers. plasters

that this will keep up until Jan. lst,
