An ordinance limiting the time of
parking of motor vehicles on the
public streets and the public alleys
of the city of Mankato was read to
the city council last. night.
-1ST ADD COUNCIL STORY
The proposed city statute was
given its first reading. This ordin
ance would prohibit the parking Of
cars within the fire limits of Man
kato for more than five hours be-
tween the hours Of 9 P. NJ. and s
A. NJ. the following morning. Ac-
cording to the proposed ordinance,
the restricted district on Front
street during the business hours Of
the day extends from Cherry street
to Plum street, where the owners Of
cars will be limited to. two hours
continuous parking.
Another matter brought up last
night and disposed Of was the
s awarding Of the contract for the
summer musical concerts to be CIV
en- by this city. The Elks Legion
band was awarded the contract for
the furnishing of eleven public
concerts and four days at Mankato
Fair.
Th,re were four bids for the work
Of furnishing the music for the sum
m6t concerts. The Elks who were
the choice, the Mankato Lodge of
who made a bid for the Mankato
Mufscipal Band and the Boys band.
c. A. Westmeyer, representing the
Eagles band, said that that organi-
zati5n was in the field for the fur
nishing Of the music for the public
concerts this summer.
Councilman Gust Kleinschmidt's
remark that he favored the Elks-
band because 1t was the nose thor
oughly organized musical unit in
the city, brought forth lengthy
discussion Of the situation from
Professor Frey, who wished in the
outset to be understood as not
knocking any organization. After
making a bid of his services with
the Municipal band, Professor Frey
said that the parents OF the mem .
bers Of the Boys Band had request
hds. who are rapidly coming to the
front in musical circles. He said II
the Bhgles and Elks were to receive
consideration, why not the two bands
he represented. A great many famtl-
les IN Mankato are represented in
those two organizations and he
though 1t no more than right thaS
the work should be divided up
equally, Just because the Elks band
wished TO go to the Elks state meet
ing al Hibbing, and the American
Legion meeting at Farfbault, he
thought was no reason why the tax
nayers should favor one organization
more than another. The other must
cal organizations would like to make
trips II they could afford 1t.
Favored the Ordinance
@. K. Mayer and VI. D. Fritz spoke
before the meeting in regard to the
proposed new traffic ordinance. Both
Gentlemen \ after listening to the
Tssding Of the proposed ordinance,
EXPRESSED Themselves as thinking
that It would be a workable one.
Counctlman Chris Steiner said
bs was not very much in favor Of
dictating too strongly In regard to
parking. but he supposed that some
rules would have to be laid down.
A written remonstrance was re-
|. ceiyed BY the members Of the coun.
1cl from residents living in the

BY The Associated Press
Geneva, Sept. A member of the
Italian delegation to the assembly OF
the league of nations today author
lied the league secretariat to deny
that Italy had ever officially repudiat-
ed the competency of the league to
handle the Greco Italian crisis.
I'VE are awaiting the return of
Major Giuriati from Rome and then
we will determine our final official at
titude," said the Italian spokesman to
a member of the secretariat
personally" he added, Il think 1t
is likely we may ask the court of in
ternational justice to pass upon the
competency of the league.
The impression prevails at Geneva
that the crisis between Italy and
Greece is less strained.

refugees including 16 children were
killed by the italian gun fire. The
children were orphans under the care
of the American Red Cross and were
showered with shrapnel while bath
ing at the beach.
He estimated the number of wound
ed at perhaps so.
The British government still holds
that the situation is one for adjust

said in London that in case the

to withdraw their representatives.. |
