son said that it would be foolhardy to
turn down the proposition the state
Is Offering at the present time.
George Juliar, anothtr enterprisine
farmer living near Mankato, said thai
like Mr.. Haedt, he believed that what
ever benefited Mankato benefited
the surrounding community, and what
is good for the city is good for the
farmer. For that reason he hoped that
the armory and community building
would be soon erected.
City Must Go Ahead.
M. H. Farr said that If Mankato
did not want to rate itself as one OF
the back numbers in the cities of the
state that she should use the motto OF
the Civic and Commerce association
Lets CO." He thought 1t time for
Mankato to "go to the proposition and
see it through this time"
. Henry Kruse of the firm of Kruse
Brothers said that he would do his
share toward the support of the pro-
position
Fred w. Kruse, said that in the face
of the fact that there is no opposition
to the movement, he thought it was
time to get busy and select site for
the proposed building. The burden
should be shouldered, for it is well
worth while.
L. w. Andrist said that Mankato is
the fourth city in the state and
should not take a back sat in the
movement now on foot. He wished to
sanction every word uttered by Ro-
bert Haedt and DR.. A. F. Schmitt.
Question BY August PaeqeI
August Paegel asked what would
be done with the old armory in case
a new one is built. Major Dahl re-
piled that the old building would
be used for a federal storehouse.
This would create positions for a
number of men right in Mankato
who would look after the military
stores. There would be draying etc.
of the stores which would amount in
