The Town Council will prepare plans an specifications for the new proposed dam at the water works. Bids will be let to lowest bidder q tthe next regular meetIng.

 The condition of the water works is in very poor condition according to Ed Nelson, who has active super vision of the water works and oth- CT civic properties. From his report made at the last council meeting, iC was evident that something had to be done to remedy the condition and that very soon.

Legion Protest German
 "VetS''

In Chicago, for the first time Ger man war veterans marched in Chica- go's Memorial Day parade. Some had occurred over allow ing the German veterans to march.
 i few of the American veterans refused to appear in the parade be- cause the Germans marched.
 Thank God, there were "only a few" who objected. Ten years have aesuaged the wounds of that great est of wars. Wrongs were commit ted on both sides in tthe heat of ang- CT and hurts and death in turn also. The day set apart after the death of Abraham Lincoln, which like Topsy, | "just growed" is as much German, if not more so, than American. And to refuse a defeated enemy to take I,art in honoring the dead of Ameri ca or the dead of Germany, is any thing but American in spirit. And I've had no use for that war either.

OGO pounds American-was landed here. Good weather prevailed around the middle of April and many boats made comparatively short trips but came back with the largest catches of the season.
