Chris Lund, who operates a large
white" truck, left his vehicle stand
ing back of the Sorensen Garage last
Thursday night and it was minus %
gallons of gasoline the next morn
ing. The gas was stolen from the
tank. Sunday night William Frederic
left his Chevrolet car on the street
and the gasoline tank on it was empty
Monday morning by the same method,
il is presumed. Now it is just pos
sible that those guilty of little funny
deeds" like this will finally place
their feet in a trap since their ac-
tivities were noticed around the Lund
truck. This kind of livelihood might
pay material benefits for time but
there usually comes a day of reck-
oning.
The village council members called
in the voters and taxpayers of the
village to a special meeting Monday
evening to discuss the advisability of
the council paying the necessary local
expenditures on the Kettle River Park
project. Everyone apparently was
very much in favor of the park and
the project but opinion on the matter
of meeting the local expenditures was
quite evenly divided. The final out
come, decided by ballot, was that the
council should proceed as they had
started, and it was left to that body
to discuss further other means for
securing needed funds. Those in
charge of the project state that in
about another week there will be sew
eral picnic places available for use
in the park.
