of the industrial committee of the
Board of Commerce, asked that the
council grant permission to a concern
that is to erect manufacturing plant
here, to connect with the old box sewer
on the West side. A committee of four
was appointed to investigate this as
soon as possible and report back to the
council at its next meeting. Aldermen
n. J. Peterson, Olson, Brown and
Moeglein were appointed.
H. G. Lykken of the Pillsbury Engin.
eering Company was present and pre-.
sented prepared blanks for presentation
by the city to the state hi ghway com.
mission, for refund on paving along
the route of the trunk highway system
This provides for refund totaline
27,99S.s9. Mr.. Lykken suggested that
this be looked after promptly saving
that Little Falls and Alexandria were
the first cities to apply for the refund
and payments likely be made in the or
der that applications for refund are
received by the commission.
Regarding the city engineer work
he reviewed what the Pillsbury Com
pany has done during the last year
He said he could appreciate the posi-
tion Of the city in regard to this work
and it's objections to having the enein'
eering work handled in this manner and
no expressed regret at severing con
nections with the city. He recommen:!
ed r. r.. Reilly for the position, saying
he is fully capable. Regarding the
proposal, West side ever he sail that
this is steam saovet job, ard % this
should be taken into Consideration
when preparations are made to have
the sewers built, He said the Pillsbury
Company had made some investigation
as to the advisabilitv of a water Ultra
tion plant for Little Falls but had
concluded that a satisfactory water
supply could be secured on the West
side; by erecting supply tank. The
water supply for fire purposes could be
obtained by pumping station near the
river, he said, and very satisfactory
water supply could thus be had at q
much lower cost than Cor filtration
plant.

ing indicated their willingness to take
such bonds. It was pointed out that the
