8-Year- Old Boy Struck by
Travelling Salesman's Auto
Harry Matthias Has Left Leg Broken
Near the Hip Monday-Acci-
dent Unavoidable

Harry Matthias, 8-year-old son OF
Mrs. James Matthias, had narrow es-
cape from instant death Monday
when he was struck by Dodge
Coupe on Main between Third and
Fourth streets.
The driver of the car was l.. s..
O'Bannon, travelling representa-
tive of the Western Grocery Com
pany, Minneapolis. Mr.. O'Bannon
was travelling north; when he reached
a point about in front of the Dows-
well Drug store he hit Harry.
Eye witnesses of the accident state
that Mr. O'Bannon was driving care
fully and that he made every effort
to avoid the accident, and in doing SO
narrowly missed colliding with a
young lad with the Matthias boy.
The Herald understands that the
Dodge hit Harry with the front of
the left fender, knocking him down
and causing a diagonal fracture to
the left leg near the hip joint. Mr..
O'Bannon stopped the car within a
few feet and hurried back to the
injured lad. The boy was taken to
the City Hospital where the fracture
was reduced and the Herald under
stands he is resting as easily as pos
sible.
Mayor Parker arrived Ion the
scene very shortly after the accident
and after an interview with Mr..
O'Bannan he was permitted to con-
tinue on his journey and was expect
ed to be back in the city Wednesday
evening of this week.
Mr.. O'Bannon instructed that the
injured boy be given every possible
care and comfort in the hospital and
assumed responsibility for the acct
dent.

Plans on Foot to Amend
City Charfer--cOn1niSsion
of IS Citizens Appointed

A petition has been circulated
among the voters of Sank Centre and
quite largely signed, the Herald I'M
derstands, asking for the submission
to the voters of the City the propo-
sition of amending the City Charter
to the end that the Water, Light and
Power Commission shall be. elected di-
reetly by the people instead of be-
ing appointed by the three judges of
this judicial district.
When the charter was drafted and
passed in 1918 much thought was
given by the Charter Commission to
remove the Light and Power Board
as far away from Municipal politics
as possible and they provided for
the appointment of the Commission
by the three District Court Judges of
this Judicial district. The results ac-
complished by the Commission are
well known to every well informed
citizen of the city.
Under the law the life of the
Charter commission expires at the
expiration of a four-year period and
it was necessary to have new chart
er commission appointed. This COM
mission is named by the District
Court judges and all of the former
commission living in the city have
been renamed on the new Charter

purpose of organization. When it

question was raised as to whether or
not the body could be legally organ
lied. Mayor Parker got in touch by
phone with Judge Roeser who is
holding Court at Long Prairie and
the Court ruled that the Is members
OF the Board must qualify before it
could be organized. He directed Mr..
Parker to substitute the names of
Wallace and Hillerud and this order
was later ratified by phone by Judges
Nye and Parsons.
Experience with the Charter has
disclosed several weaknesses which
should be cleared up while it is be-
ing amended and the changes will
probably be recommended.
Thirty days published notice must
be given before the voters can vote
on any proposed change or amend
ment to the Charter and it will not
be possible to have them ready in or
der to meet the 30-day requirement
as the notice must be published in
this weeks official paper. The city
election will be held Tuesday, April
Is, 1926.
The changing of the City Charter
is rather an important matter and
the Charter Commission is apt to
move slowly before submitting their
recommendation to the voters. A
special election can be held for $100
or less which will not make a very
heavy expense on the individual tax
payers of the city.

is: j. N. McGibbon, j. F. Cooper, B.

1926 BUILDING DROP
UNDER 1926 LIKELY.
Slump in Remaining Months
of Year Predicted-Above
$4,000, 900, 900 Expected.

Building contracts let in the United
States during the first half of 1926.
according to the reports of the F. w
Dodge Corporation, led the showing
OF the corresponding period of 1925 by
only 10 per cent. For the first
quarter they were estimated at ST.
$4,000, 900, an increase of 25 per cent
over the preceding years showing.
The second quarter total was esti-
mated at $1,813 100000.
Prediction is made that the aggre-
gate building investment for the year
will be a trifie under that of last year.
The second half of 1925 increased 10
per cent over the first half, whereas
under normal conditions there is an
average decrease of IL per cent in the
latter half of the year Existing gen
eral conditions indicate a decrease
rather than an increase during the
next five months.
Were the contract volume for the
rest of the year to equal that Of the
first six months the years total would
be $6,77S, 000,0 900, compared with &c.
622 900, 900. This, however, is hardly
expected. Instead, a decrease will
probably result and If the normal Il
per cent is maintained the years total
will be $6,371 900, 900, or only 4 per
cent under last year. A better guess,
probably, would be 20 per cent, with
an aggregate of Sc, 100, 000, 000,- or 8
per cent under 1925.
