FOURTH DISTRICT
BUSY IN 1924.

Close to 100000, the largest
sum ever expended in the district
in any one year, was spent in main-
tenance, new roads, equipment and
bridges by County Commissioner
w. E. Fay in the Fourth district
the past year, according to figures
given out few days ago. says the
Tower News.
To the uninitiated this may seem
vast amount of money, but when
it is explained that there are over
400 miles of legalized rolls in the
district. distributed over an area Of
So townships, and that an unusual
amount of new work was gotten
under way this year, and consider
able new equipment purchased, one
begins to realize that big sums of
money are required.
Included in the new equipment
was 3-4 yard Marion steam
shovel, "a dump wagons, 16 main
tenance graders, tools, ETC., costing
thousands of dollars, but all of
which are good for years of service.
The steam shovel, which has been
used in construction work on State

A DIRTY PIECE OF WORK
BY ONE MORE DIRTY

Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Buckley re-
curned Monday from their holiday
visit with relatives at Minneapolis.
Upon their return to their home in
che Jos. Mantel residence at the
eastern end of Harvey Street, they
found large part of their fur
niture had been ruined by water
while they were away. IL seems
that last Wednesday when Mr..
Mantel, who was attending the fires
at the house, went there he found
water running down from the up
per floors. Upon investigation it
was found that some one, either to
get even with Mr.. Buckley or Mr..
Mantel had ripped out the lavatory
in the bath room and the pipes
were deluging the place with water,
running both the furniture and the
walls and ceiling of the house 1t
was plain case of vandalism of
the dirtiest kind. The lavatory bowl
had been torn completely loose and
set down on the other side of the
room from which it was ripped.
Officers are working on the case
and it will not be surprising if the
guilty one becomes known. Clues
point to certain party and he is
being kept under observation.

VITAL STATISTICS SHOW IN
TERESTING SCHOOL FIGURES

The Registrar of Births ana
Deaths has made his annual report
and the figures presented show an
interesting study. The figures also
show that more school rooms will
be required to keep pace with the
constantly growing registration as
presaged by the birth and death
rate in the city. The pro rata fig
ures would indicate that 800 new
pupils are registered while about
100 graduate from the High School.
During the year 1924, the births
in Ely numbered 1876, rs of which
were boys and So girls. During
the year there were SO deaths, SO
of which were males and IA females.
Only comparatively small percent
of the deaths were those of child
rem.
Clerk of the Court Schaefer also
reports that the marriage licenses
issued during 1924 numbered "a.

of the number of Ely marriages as

gan the latter part of April and
continued until November 18th.
So, taken as whole, the past
year has been a mighty busy one in
the Fourth district and Mr.. Fay
and his assistants, engineer r. S.

c. C. Winchell, are to be commend
ed for the able manner in which
they have handled so big PRO

In passing it may be mentioned
that the Fourth district is five
townships larger in area than all
four of what are known as the
Duluth districts, Nos. l, 2, and
5. Owing to this the work is of
necessity scattered over a large
area and the task of supervising it
is no easy one.

keep 26O miles of highway in the
