Parle and involving control of the
flood waters of the Minnesota and

The project, cost of which is esti-
bated at $1,500,OO0 is the most out
standing in Minnesota general con-
servation program. A year is expec.
ted to be necessary for its compile
tion.

Parle will be raised by means of two
dikes, one about two and half miles
long across the Minnesota river val
ley northwest of Watson and the OF.
her across the Chippewa river east Of
Watson. The surface area of the lake

Snow Removal, Tree
Trimming Discussed
At Lions Luncheon

Members of the Lions club discuss
ed two ERA projects available to the
city at little or no cost at their noon
luncheon Monday at Lauterbach's.
One project is the removal of snow
from streets in the business district.
The work is done by relief clients,
the only expense to the city being the
hire of vehicles to transport the snow
to some place where it could be
dumped.
The other project contemplates
trimming of trees on boulevards in
the city, for Identification purposes
principally. There would be no cost
to the city with the possible excep-
ton of furnishing a supervisor.
Richard Cook, county relief admins
traitor, called the matters to the at
tention of the club and George A.
Patton took them before the council
Monday night when the snow remov-
al plan was authorized.
The club also voted to buy a
Christmas seal bond and decided to
give Christmas party for members
and their wives later in December,
canceling the next luncheon. Joseph
R. Keefe became a new member and
Jay Gould of the Gould Amusement
company and Santa Claus were
guests of the club. Both gave short
talks.
