If Necessary

During the past year, needy vet
erans have borrowed from the
Merchants National Bank of St.
Paul more than $8,000,000 on their
federal adjusted compensation in

banks refused to loan on these
policies to any veteran or possibly
to their customers only, this Min
nesota bank has 80, clients all
over the nation, who made their
loans with the cooperation of state
and city branches of the Ameri-

how to increase his loan Tin ac-

possible, so that the full amount
will accrue to their dependents.

Council Proceedings
Regular Meeting

Regular monthly meeting of the
Common Council of the City of
Sauk Centre held Wednesday, De-
cember 7th, 1927 at 7:30 P. M.

ance.
The minutes of the previous
meeting were read and approved.
The Secretary of the Fire De-
partment filed with the Council a
statement of the number of fire
calls and the number of firemen
who responded to each of said
calls, making a total of ALP in
dividual attendances. George
Fish, Fire Chief, appeared before
the Council and asked that the
firemen be paid $1.00 for each of
said calls, amounting to $4,000.
The Council, after investigating
the funds on hand in the Fire De-
partment Maintenance Account,
advised the Chief that if the re-
quest were granted it would prac-
tcally wipe out all of the funds
appropriated for the maintenance
of the Department up to April 1st,
1928.
-Mr. Fish claimed that he un-
derstood from the talk he had
with the Council last January that
the City had arranged for such
payments. The Council advised
him that the matter had never
been brought up again in the
meetings, and that no provisions
had been made in the 1927 budget
for any such extraordinary ex.
penditure, and that if anything
had been included in the 1927
budget, it would not be available
at this time nor until the taxes
were paid in 1928.
Alderman Gray suggested that
the City pay the Fire Department
at this time $3.50. 90 out of the De-
partment Maintenance Fund, and
trust luck to getting through to
April 1st, 1928 on the balance, and
moved that the Clerk be instruct
ed to draw an order in that sum
in favor of the Treasurer of the
Fire Department. The motion
was duly seconded and unanimous
ly carried.

Highway Department presented

Denies He Plans to Abolish
 N0n-PrOieSSiOnal Bouts

Now London. Nov. 3 LP1Statc Athletic Commissioner Thomas l.. 1onohue of this city today described reports that he is taking steps 10 abolish amateur boxing in Connec- ticut as silly and utterly absurd" In a statement made 10 the New London Day he declared he is en- tirely in favor of amateur boxing and has given his support 10 the slmon-pure game wherever 1t has been conducted on a strictly anna teur basis.
 Commissioner Donohuc said that in the past he has advocated, and will continue to urge. state control of amateur boxing, which. he de clared has been running Wild' for some time. Under the present sta tutcs governing the state athletic commission, the boxing commission CT has absolutely no right to inter fere with amateur boxing. he added.
 "I have received indirect evidence that amateur boxers are being hail ''' IOl lltIli St'I Nl'tS Nblll LII l'N'7i oII'' Donohue continued. but until I sc cure positive first-hand proof that professional methods are being em- ployed in amateur boxing, the state commission is powerlcsS 10 stop it..
 The commissioner also said that when proof is obtained that an ana- teur boxer is being paid under ar engagements similar 10 those of pro fossional boxers, the amateur imme- diatcly becomes professional and hence comes under the jurisdiction of the state athletic commission. A bill providing for state control over amateur boxing was introduced at the last session of the legislature but it was not passed. Commission IT Donohue today recalled that Connecticut is the only state with lcgalizod boxing and an athletic commission that does not have coI trol over amateur boxing.
 Standardized amateur boxinn should be encouraged" Commis- soner Donohue declared.
 1 The amateur ranks have brough' out a number Of stars in COnnectl- cut and many of our professional boxers climbed. from the amateur divisions, he said.
