THE DAIRY INDUSTRY, NOW AND
AFTER

Minnesota dairy products in 1921 had a
money value of 172 million dollars, accord
ing to the calculations of the state dairy
and food commissioner, who says this sum
tops by a million dollars the aggregate
value of the corn, wheat, oats barley, rye,
flax, potatoes and hay produced in the
state that year. The figures mentioned oy
the commissioner do not take into the
reckoning the money received for COWS ana
calves butchered for home use or market.
ed. The grand total including these items
probably would be around 200 million dol
lars.
From this will be seen that the dairy in
dustry in Minnesota has assumed very I'M
pressive proportions, and yet the potential
tiles of the state are scarcely more than the
suggested 172 million dollars. If Nature
had set herself to work specifically to
create the makings of dairy empire, sne
would have found it hard job to devise
better scheme than is represented IN Inns
Northwest country, with it's < numberless
lakes and streams of pure water, its SOIL
adaptability, its shady retreat for cows and
other advantages that are at hand. ~ 81.
In view of past accomplishments and
future possibilities, it is quite in order that
the Federal Reserve agent of the Ninth
district, in the latest report on crop and
business conditions, should devote more
than full page to the educational and ecof,
nomic value of the National Dairy Exposl-
tion to be held on the Minnesota State Fair
grounds in the week from October Z to
October A. The report cites specific cases
of community benefits from the valuable
object lessons found in the dairy showaof
q year ago, and recommends for the COM
ing exposition a still more extensive at
tendance and interest by farmers of the
Northwest. Extensive dairying implies ex-
tensive application of the practice Of diver.
sified farming, and that is the one great
thing that the hungry soils of the northwest
abused by excessive one-crop policies, need
to perk them up to the productive power
that is inherent in ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

SEWER ACTION
FOR METUCHEN
Will Likely be Taken by Bor-
ough Council Next Mon
day Night

METUCHEN, Jan. 31:-Further
action on the sewer building pro-
gram will most likely be taFen by
the members of the borough council
at their next monthly meeting on
February 6, at which time it is ex-
pected that the plans prepared by
w. w. Young, the New York sew
age disposal engineer, will be pre-
scented for approval.
. Under the agreement the neces-
sary survey was to be made and
the plans and specifications were TO
be prepared and approved by the
State Board of Health after which
the data was to be submitted to the
local governing body for final ap-
proval.
The disposal system as well as
the sewer layout has been tentative
ly approved by the state authorities
and just as soon as the preliminary
details are complete the borough
fathers will probably advertise for
bids on the work.
Two factors that will prompt an
early decision in the matter are the
repaving of north Main Street by
the borough and county Jointly,
and the contemplated reconstruction
VI NhC ilii1Oii W NiiS
county under the state reimburse
ment act. Every effort will be made
to settle the sewer building question
at an early date so that the work
may be complete before road con-
struction work opens up in the
spring.
The members of the council are
in hopes that they may have the
plans for the paving of north Main
street before them at the meeting,
that they may, be in a position TO
introduce the necessary ordinances
to be passed in connection with the
improvement.
On account of the freehoiders
failure to take the first steps in the
matter the hands of the borough
authorities are tied and unless the
plans are before the council at the
next meeting another months delay
will have been caused

Ice & Manufacturing Co., for said

Ice 4 Manufacturing Co., for said
company to pump the water and
operate the system that will be In
stalled. If the town operates it's own
system, the installation of the system
will cost $14,355 more, but under a
contract with the St. Tammany Ice
& Manufacturing Co. this sum can
be saved, as we'll as the annual in
terest thereon, which amounts to
$S6130, plus the saving in costs Of
operation, amounting annually 70
$346.00.
The local power plant agrees to
the payment Of ten cents per NJ gal
Ions to be paid to the local Power
Plant for water pumped up to 3,O0O,-
900 gallons per month, and a sliding
scale downward for water pumped
by the local Power Plant for water
pumped by them over and above the
100000 gallons. Under this prop
osition the city would own its own
pumping station but the Power Plant
would maintain and operate same.
In other words, the city is to fur
nish renewals to it's own machinery
but the Power Plant is to install the
same, without any expense to the
town.
The water is to be paid for ac-
cording to the reading of the meters
in the homes of the people using
water, no payment to be paid to the
local Power Plant for any leakage,
or for water pumped for fire pur-
poses.
We believe that a price Of thirty
cents per M gallons, with a minimum
charge of $1.00 per month for the
use of said water, is adequate.
Hereto attached and made part
hereof is the engineers report, which
includes the cost of construction Of
both projects itemized, and map
Of the town showing the streets thru
which the water and sewer pipes are
to be laid (you will note that the
report is identified with the map and
contains a guarantee that all pipe
lines, both water and sewer, shown
by the map, should be laid and in
stalled for the estimate as shown in
said report; also a statement of the
property owned by the old water
works plant, together with map Of
the Town of Covington, showing
where the said water pipes are to be
laid and their sizes
We therefore, after considering the
matter, urge the Town Council to call
an election, at the earliest immediate
time, for the purpose Of submitting
this matter to the electorate Of the
town.
Respectfully submitted,

COMMITTEE REPORT ON WATER
AND SEWERS.
CONTINUED from page u

ond class. According to Mr. Grants
statement to us, the amount Of mon
ey saved on insurance premiums to
the citizens of Coyington would more
than justify this small additional
outlay, Of about $4,000.
Mr.. Grant also stated that we
should have a paid fire department,
having not less than three men.
Your committee would suggest that
as we already have one paid fire
man We could make fremen out Of
both the Day and Night Marshal,
which would make a total OF three,
crease in their salaries.
8. The bonds to run for not more
than forty (4O) years, or less, if
possible, and to be sold for par at
not greater rate Of interest than 6
per cent for such is the law.
Mr.. Kramer's engineer stated that
the bonds might be sold for some
thing between five and six per cent.
4. We recommend that the town
purchase from the St. Tammany Ice
& Manufacturing Co., their present
system of waterworks. The en-
gineer's report shows a total Of
$13,000.00, as being the approximate
worth Of this system, with out con-
sidering the good will Of going cou-
cern, and the cost of laying this sys-
tenn Of piping. OF course, the en-
gineer has not seen any of the pipes
that are itemized on the list attach
ed to his report, and merely has the
word of Mr.. E. J. Frederick as to
the size of piping and class Of ma
terials itemized on his report.
We are told by the engineer that
we could buy this system of water
works and sewerage for a total of
one hundred and thirty thousand
dollars (s130,oo0), which would
then only be allowing $2,413.O0 for
the plant OF the St. Tammany Ice &
Manufacturing Co. The engineer
states that he can use approximately
$4,000 worth of the property pur-
chased from the St. Tammany Ice 4
Manufacturing Co., in the installa-
tion Of the new system, and yet have
the difference in pipe and property,
that might be and could be utilized
later in extending the water system
along the side streets, as the needs
may arise.
An itemized statement of the prop
erty sold is attached to the engineers
report on page 33.
5. Having considered the amount
of work done by Mr.. Kramer, and
the recommendation submitted By
him, showing his efficiency to super
wise the construction and installation
of such work, we think that he
should be employed by the town as
Consulting Engineer We have ex-
amined carefully the contract which
he has prepared for the signatures
of the proper authorities of the town.
and recommend that the town, thru
its proper authorities, sign this con-
tract of employment. A copy Of the
contract is hereto annexed.
6. We recommend that the town.
through its proper authorities, enter
into contract with the st. Tammanv
