2 Game Leagues to
Decide Tonight on
Tiger Lake Project

The Redwood County Game Pro-
tective league and the Izaac Walton
league of Morton will meet tonight
on the banks of Tiger lake, near Nor
ton, to decide whether the project
discussed several weeks ago will be
carried out.
Several of the league members
contended that enough water will not
be available after the lake has been
drained and seined to warrant the
experiment. Present plans are to
drain all of the water out of the
lake, take out all the rough fish, re-
fill the lake with fresh water and
stock the lake with game fish. Other
plans for improving the lake for bass
are also advanced.
Several members of the Redwood
county league worked in Gold Mine
lake, near Delhi, Monday, taking out
rough fish and giving them to farm
ers there for hog feed. They plan to
put game fish in the lake soon.

DIRECTORS PLAN
TO LEASE HOTEL
III ON COMPLETION
Construction Awaits Collecting
of Stock Pledges Which
Begins This Week

Plans for the leasing of Redwood's
proposed new $150,00O hotel imme-
diately upon it's completion were ap-
proved at meeting of the board of
directors Wednesday night.
Field-Martin Company of Minnea-
polls, contractors, manufacturers and
operators of the Field and Norman
dy hotels in Minneapolis, sent repre-
sentatives to the city Wednesday and
are to be the lessee under the plan.
H. M. Mueller, architect and pro-
moter who has been working on the
project here since late July, stated
Wednesday that the annual rental
specified in the lease will be $500.
The lease is to run for Is years and
does not include the store spaces
around the lobby which he estimates
will yield yearly revenue of $4,000.
Under the terms of the agreement,
stockholders will also receive 80 per
cent Of the revenue from room rental
above a specified figure. Field-Mar-
tin are to furnish the fixtures.
Under revised plan prepared by
the architect, the building will be
financed by the sale OF 1850 shares
of stock. Pledges for stock pur-
chases will be collected this week.
The new plan would escape mort
gaging the building to pay part of
the construction. Fixed charges are
the dividend payment on preferred
stock of $500 annually and $4,000
for taxes, insurance and miscellan-
eous expenses.
Mr.. Mueller estimates the gross
revenue. to the share holders at $751;
224.60 per year, $3,204.60 of which
comes from the 80 per cent clause.
After dividends are paid under his
plan, $6,124.60 is left from which
reserve for preferred stock retire
ment of $4,000 per year is set up and
the balance may be used for common
stock dividends.
The date construction will start, he
stated, depends on the rapidity with
which stock pledges are collected.

BOARD STATEMENT

PROGRAM CENSURE
Chief State Examiner Claims
County Furnished Spats,
Neckties, Gasoline
WOULD "CALL A HALT
Pease Answers Rebuke; De-
clares Money Was Earned;
Will Improve System

The board of county commission
ers in session here this week discuss
ed informally charges Of A. R. john
son, chief state examiner, that poor
relief here has been improperly hand
led but adjourned late Wednesday
without taking action other than to
approve an earlier statement.
Admitting carelessness in the
handling of poor funds but terming
the examiners charges incomplete"
E. A. Pease, commissioner of the
fourth district, issued statement
Friday to explain the matter to Red
wood county taxpayers.
A statement by the chief exami-
ner published Thursday in daily
newspapers said that Redwood coun-
ty is spending money too literally
for the poor. 1t stated that cloth
ing, fuel, rent and other necessities
of life should be provided by the
county "but when the county issues
money for gasoline, shotgun shells,
cigarets, chewing gum and other
non-essentials it is time for the state
to call halt"
Mr.. johnson did not explain that
the money spent by che poor OF Red
wood county for what he calls "non-
essentials" was earned by chopping
wooa, Mr.. Pease pointed out.
Was New Experience
Mr.. Pease said the board realized
it was inexperienced and probably
trifle lenient in the issuing of or
ders on merchants, but it sees its
mistake and will correct it by putting
the choppers on a stringent spend
ing basis.
Mr.. Pease gathered figures from
the records to prove that the county
is not issuing money so freely as Mr..
Johnson's report would indicate.
From the time the wood cutting pro-
ject was started until now $4,255.08
has been spent by the county for
wood cutting, according to figures he
prepared at the auditors office.
Of this total, he stated, an amount
not to exceed $40 has been spent for
cigaSets, candy, chewing gum, spats
and other items Mr.. johnson listed.
He added that 'every quart of gaso-
line which has been purchased with
the order tickets has been used by
the poor in hauling wood to the
marketing place for which they are
paid $1.00 a cord"
Mr.. Pease's statement reads as
follows:
"In answer to recent comments by
public examiners who have checked
over the books of Redwood county, I
am taking the liberty on behalf of
the board of Redwood county COM

Highway Department Prepares
Details of New Bridge
on Highway IA

The county commissioners and the
Redwood Falls city council agreed
Tuesday afternoon to plan which
insures the immediate construction of
the long-sought new road over the
North Redwood hill.
The city will buy the right-of-way
for the road and the approximately
$4,000 needed for construction will
be paid by the state. Bids for con-
struction work will be opened Octo-
Der A.
Congressman Frank Clague, Rich
ard Cook, county engineer; George
Schmiesing, a member of the board
and George A. Barnes, county attor-
ney knew the money was available
and went to St. Paul September to
urge that it be spent in Redwood
county. They conferred with C. M.
Babcock, state highway commission
er, and Julius A. Schmahl, state
treasurer, who agreed to make the
money available providing that it be
spent on the North Redwood hill pro-
ject this fall.
Follows New Course
The new road will follow the old
in front of the cemetery, swinging to
the left there through the present
dumping grounds, to the left to the
Roy Castle farm on top OF the hill
and following down the cliff to join
the present road between the j. P.
Gaffney farm and the Weiss hotel.
The city council discussed the need
of the change at it's meeting Monday
night and agreed to purchase neces-
sary land. Tuesday Mayor H. B.
Thorp and Councilmen j. B. Philbrick
and Rud Stensvad went before the
commissioners with B. H. Clark and
w. A. Hauck who represented the
Commercial club.
After the agreement had been
reached, council members went i'm
mediately to Cottonwood where they
bought five acres of land from Will
bur Lines for $4OO. He had previous
ly asked $3.50. Later they purchas-
ed another one and one-half acres of
the right-of-way from D. L. Grim
minis for $3.50. Terms made with Mr..
Lines include the construction of a
cattle pass under the road.
Long Considered
The matter of rebuilding the
North Redwood road has frequently
come before the county board in re-
cent years. Last spring a committee
urged the construction calling the
present route unsafe, especially in
winter, and declaring the condition
Of the road hinders business here.
The matter was then deferred to a
later time because of a lack of funds
for the purpose. The project at this
time will provide needed employment
during the fall, saving a strain on
the poor relief funds. The commits
sioners discussed plans to insist on
