"It appears that at Commercial Club
meeting held this week the Commercial
Club against the advice Of its legisla-
tive committee, went on record dis
approving proposed amendment to
House File 892 It seems to me that
inasmuch as the vote was eleven in
favor of disapproval and seven in favor
of approval and inasmuch as the meet
ing was not directly representative
meeting of the various business men
and other interests in Ely and inas1nuch
as the question involved is weighty
one and one which will prove of great
interest in the very near future, will
suggest and so move that we request
the Commercial Club to call another
meeting for reconsidering this question,
at which meeting the question may be
more thoroughly gone into by people
representing every interest in Ely. It
seems Ito me that anything that we can
do which will allow the Minnesota
Power & Light Company to proceed with
the development of their Winton plant
which will in turn provide labor for
our working people should be in the
interests of the City of Ely
Motion carried.
