C.. M. BabcOck Asked to
Speak at Paving Dinner

C. NJ. Babcock, state commission
er of highways, will be honored at a
dinner here late this month or early
in October to celebrate the opening
of paving on Highway No. IA, it was
decided at a meeting of the Lions
club Monday.
Club members agreed to take the
initiative in sponsoring such a cele-
bration and will ask the aid of other
civic organizations both here and at
other points along the paving which
will soon be complete between Red
wood Falls and the Twin Cities.
Besides Commissioner Babcock the
club expects to invite several other
men prominent in the highway affairs
of the state. Congressman Frank
Clague was asked to invite Mr.. Bah
cock and request him to designate
dates upon which he may attend.

would be considerably less expensive
later in the fall when the leaves have
left the trees.
Suggestions made by several coun-
Gil members would ask the support
of the Lions club, the Business Mems
association, and the Commercial club,
to gather the-sentiments and sugges-
tions of the people in the city in re-
gard to the matter.
Three Places Possible
AS the situation now stands, the
authorities see only three possible
places where the wastes could be dis
posed of. One of them is to combine
the four main outlets into one and
send it back of the power house. The
second possible way would be to send
it into the ravine, across the river
south of Little Falls. The third place
that is in the mind of the councilmen,
is to send the main outlet in the river
behind the old Hillig place.
Outside Complaints
The sewage question is not new to
the people of Redwood Falls, as it
has been discussed by them, and COM
planned about by outsiders. The park
rivers have been unsafe for quite a
number of years. Letters of complaint
have been received in this office to be
published in this paper, but courtesy
to the park and the persons interest
ed they were kept out until the situa-
ton became acute and the public was
entitled to know the danger Ramsey
park is in.

FOR SEWAGE PLANT
SURVEY IN OCTOBER
Defers Action on Advice of
City Engineer; Seeks
Peoples Opinion
DREAD TAX INCREASE
Threat of Park Closing is
Considered Serious by
City Fathers

Sewage disposal was the principal
topic discussed by the city council at
a meeting Friday evening following
a warning from Grover NJ. Comet,
state forestry commissioner, that
Ramsey State park may be closed by
the state legislature unless steps are
taken to remove Redwood Falls sew
age from stream which flows
through the park.
On advice of Fred H. Anthony,
city engineer, that it would be a
month before a survey of the situa-
tion would be practical, the council
deferred action to a later meeting.
Several council members express
ed unwillingness to add the cost Of
a disposal plant to the city's already
heavy tax levy especially in view OF
the fact that a normal amount of
rainfall, which has been lacking for
two years, would at least partially
solve the problem.
Survey Necessary
1t was agreed that a survey would
be necessary to first determine possi-
BILE locations for the plant, if one is
to be built, and to determine the cost
of joining the sewer outlets. The
city engineer advised that survey
