CIVIC CLUB NOW
IS BACKING CAMP
COMMERCIAL BODY WILL AID
IN ESTABLISHING AUTO
PARK.
COUNCIL URGED TO APPLY TO
HIGHWAY COMMISSION FOR
PAVING AID.

A decision was reached by the Com
mercial Club Monday evening in their
regular meeting to boost for the Tour
lists Park of New Ulm and to back the
proposition heartily so that plans may
60 forward at once to have such a
stopping place ready for tourists by
the time the spring travelling begins.
With the Commercial Club backing
the proposition heartily there is no
doubt that the project will move for
ward to completion.
Favor No. German Park.
There was considerable discussion as
to the proper location for the tourists
park but the Club finally went on
record as favoring North German Park
in connection with German Park
proper. This is the location which the
RepieV has at different times commen-
ted upon favorably because of it's central
location and the ease with which it can
be made ready for travellers use. P.
Liesch argued in favor of Hermans S
Heights, saying that there are already
facilities there and the cost of making
the grounds ready would be less as
there are toilets of kind and cooking
pavilion and tables already installed.
Other members spoke of the necessity
Of securing permission for the use Of
Herman Park from the Grand Council
of Herman Sons which would take
pavilion and tables already installed.
Other members spoke of the necessity
of securing permission for the use Of
Herman Park from the Grand Council
of Herman Sons which would take
considerable time and also brought out
the fact that toilet facilities at Herman
Heights are meager and not suitable
frequent use.
F. H. Behnke spoke in favor of
North German Park. There is plenty
of room for tents, shed can easily
be built for cooking purposes and
rough shelter in case of storm can also
be provided at small cost. For beauty
and the pleasure of sitting in the shade
there is German Park proper right
at hand with very good toilet facilities
At the close of the discussion it was
decided to have the publicity COM
mittee, consisting of c. A. Stolz,
August Boyer, A. o. Olson, W. c..
Muesing and F. D. Minium attend
the Council meeting of last evening
and place before the City Council the
position taken by the Commercial
Club and offer their backing for the
German Park Auto camp project.
More Paving For Mimi. St.
Another matter taken up at the
Monday evening meeting was brought
up by F. D. Minium. The State
Highway Commission has offered to
put in on trunkways passing through
municipalities hard surfaced roads for
a width Of 20 feet. New Ulm has
two such trunk highways, No. 15
which comes in near the brickyards
and No. 7 which goes out of the city
at 5th North. All that is necessary in
order to secure these hard surfaced
roads is for the municipalities to make
application to the Highway commission
and the Good Roads committee of the
Commercial Club was asked to attend
last nights meeting of the City Coun-
Gil and urge them to make this appli-
cation. There will be no cost to New
Ulm people unless it should be de-
sired to surface the roadway wider than
20 feet. In that case the additional
cost would have to be born by the
abutting property or by the city as a
whole. ..
c.. N. Cosgrove of the VETERANS S
Vocational Bureau appeared before the
Club to give them talk on various
vocational schools which have been es-
tablished to train ex-service men. Mr.
Cosgrove's chief mission in New Ulm
was to urge employers of labor to
find places for men who have completed
the course in the schools, but who neec
practical training before they are
ready to accept salaried positions
Mr.. Cosgrove told the Club that the
vocational schools teach some 200 diff.
ferent trades and it is the aim at tn,
present time of the Veterans Bureau
to place these men in positions for ;
limited time where they may or ma.
not receive any pay from the employer
but where they will be sure to get goo'
practical experience.
No other matters Of Importance wer
taken up and the business meeting wa
followed by lunch and smoker.
DR.. William Fritsche who was quar-
antined for scarlet fever several week
ago, is improving rapidly as can b
expected and may soon be able to b
pp and about again.
