Wrangfe Keeps Minnesota
Legislature in All Night
Observation-Disclosures

st. Paul, April 22.-The forty
fourth Minnesota legislature, which
adjourned sine die at noon today,
following a session which. continued
until 7 o'clock this morning, granted
appropriations for various state ac-
tivities totaling $41,813,901 as COM
pared with $40,278,669, granted by
the 1923 legislature session.
However, in addition to the more
than S40,O00,00O appropriated two
years ago, the legislature at that time
also appropriated $1,054,0O0 for re-
building the Winona and Mankato
Teachers colleges, which were des-
troyed by fire and $850,000 for SOL
diers' bonuses.
Taking into consideration the last
two items, the 1925 session appro-
priaticns are $368,768 less than the
amount appropriated two years ago.
AS result of the allowances
granted this session, Minnesota will
have an authorized tax levy of four
mills for the first year of the COM
ing biennium and three mills for the
second year. Two years ago the
authorized tax levy was four mills
for the first half of the biennial per-
iod and u mills for the second halt.
The fight precipitated by the re-
fusal of the two houses to agree on
salary increases of certain state cleo
tive officials as contained in the
state departmental appropriation bill,
reached such proportions that spec
ial session appeared imminent last
night. After nearly 10 hours of de-
liberation by the respective houses,
the threatened extra session was
averted by compromise conference
agreement which placed the salaries
OF the state auditor, state treasurer
and members of the Railroad and
Warehouse commission at $4,000 per
year. The bill, as backe d by the SEN
ate, called for salaries for these of
ficials of $500 annually.
The house was strenuously opposed
to any salary increases and when the
senate bill reached that body, follow
ing its passage in the upper branch,
a conference committee was request
ed. Neither branch, however, would
agree at this first conference and the
senate refused the request of the
lower body for a new conference
committee.
This brought about the deadlock
which tied up the entire proceedings
in the senate when that body recessed
while under call, subject to the call of
the chair.
Veteran legislative members point
ed out that this was one of the most
unusual procedures for a Minnesota
senate and they were unable to re-
call any similar action by a previous
Legislative body in this state.
After several hours, during which
no progress was made toward set
ting the disputed point, the senate
acted favorably upon a motion by
Senator Claude Mackenzie to accede
to the house demands and appoint a
new conference committee to meet
with the representative group. Both
bodies then acted favorably upon the
report of the conference committee
and the bill as amended was repassed
in the respective branches. In the
senate, the vote was unanimously in
favor of the measure but in the

Grounds About City Power
Plant Have Been Beautifed
Municipal Grounds Will Be One of
the Beauty Spots of City When
Completed

The Water, Light & Power Com
mission of Sank Centre have about
completed some work about the pow
er house which adds much to the
beauty to the power house property.
Last week the commission had
erected an 8-foot concrete sidewalk
running the entire frontage of their
property, with entrance walks and
driveways to correspond. Curbings
We're built about the parkway and in
this space schrubbery-honey suckle,
Siberian Pea Trees and Bridal Wreath
has been planted. Around the en-
tire grounds lawn grass has been
sown, and when firmly bedded will
make the grounds very beauti-
full. John Kernigan, flower and
shrubbery man at the Sank Centre
public school, was in charge of the
planting of these various trees.
The grounds about the pump house
in Brooklyn have also received at
tention and have ben leveled and
seeded down, also about the tower
vines OF a climbing nature have been
planted.
It would seem quite proper that
the City Council should now order
the erection of walk to connect with
that built by the Water, Light &
Power Commission to run north to the
bridge. Then when the Northern Pa
cific install their walk across their
property, people living on the east
side OF Main street would not neces-
sarily have to cross to the west side
OF the street to reach their homes.
