The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1930-08-11

New England, Aug. 11.-New Eng
land has just completed the ~installa-
ton of a sewer system at q cost OF
$50 900. This last improvement
makes the people of this city feel
that they are quite in the SWIM, as
far as modern improvements are con-
cerned. The officials under whose |
administration the system was built
we're Harvey j. Miller, mayor; S. A.
Fuller, George Gardner, M. j. Con-
molly, Joseph Pechtl, H. A. Borcher-
ding and Gordon Gardner, aldermen. |
Another improvement which has
been a great blessing to New Eng
land people during the hot summer
is the new swimming pool, recently |
completed. The people from town
and country donated labor and ma
terial to the extent Of several thou
sand dollars, with the result that the
pool and two bath houses are quite
adequate to the needs Of the COM
munity. The pool was formed by
laying a strong concrete dam across
the Cannon Ball river just at the
edge of the city limits. The water
supply is plentiful and quite pure.
Dump Made Into Park
A betterment which has added
greatly to the city's appearance is the
railroad park, situated between the
Milwaukee station and the main city
streets. It was planted voluntarily
by Roadmaster Peter Burns. who
transformed what was formerly q
dump ground intoa tree shaded lawn,
where the people gather to hear band
concerts on summer evenings. Mr..
Burns, who is still a resident Of New
England, has received much commen-
dalton for his show Of public spirit.
New England has q present popula-
ton of 900, and the schoolhouse,
built in 1914, has reached its utmost
capacity, according to Superintendent
Y. H. Maxwell. who has been at the
head of the schools here for nine
FEARS. The present enrolment Is 800,
of which 1875. are in the high school.
This school includes a Smith-Hughes
agricultural department, with so boys
enrolled. Prof. Gilbert Noun Is do
ing very effective work at the head of
this department. In the winter
months, seven BUSES are run to bring
students in from the country. Forty
five per cent of the high school stu
dents are from the surrounding
farms.
Grain Growing Pred0minates
The Catholic parochial school at
New England has gone far toward
keeping the school situation on an
even keel. The school population is
really in excess of 500. and the church
school has taken care Of nearly half
this number. Mr.. Maxwell expressed
appreciation Of the work done by the
parochial school in relieving a con-
gestion that would otherwise have
resulted at the public school.
Grain growing still predominates
in Hettinger county, and the five ele-
vators at New England are becoming
quite busy receiving grain from the
combines. The wheat grades run
from No. l to No. 5 dark northern,
with protein tests running as high as
II per cent. There is an abundance
of protein but the premiums are low.
Thirteen years ago r. T. Fieldhouse
started raising purebred Shorthorns

that time many other farmers have
taken up the breeding Of both pure
breds and grades. c. Mccartney is do
ing well inbeef type Shorthorns. Thee

It profitable to raise hogs. The pre-
dominating strains are Duroc ant
Chester Whites.

$5,362.61 was made in the thre
