Voters Will Pass On
Bond Issue At Special
Election September 3
Money to be Used as City's
Share in Financing New
Civic Building.
COUNCIL ASKS GRANT
State Will Purchase Bonds
at Low Interest Rate of
Three Per Cent.

Ely voters viii pass on 100000 city
bond issue for the proposed new Com
munity Building at a special election on
city council at its Tuesday meeting.
City officials explained that the
amount was set at 100000 in order to
make certain that the city could comply
with the necessary federal PWA and
WPA regulations. 1t was also pointed
out that regardless Of what amount was
passed by the voters the bonds will be
issued only in the amount that is ac-
tually necessary to carry out the city's
part of financing the project.
If the issue is approved by the voters
the necessary amount of bonds will be
sold to the state at a 8 per cent in
terest rate.
In explaining the councils action in
fixing the amount at 100000, officials
pointed out that the entire project of
razing the old building and building
the new will be first submitted to PWA.
If PWA refuses to assume the entire
project, the wrecking viii be submitted
to WPA and in that event only $4,000
or less of the bond issue would be neces-
sary.
Should PWA take the entire project
it would be necessary for the city to
have the authorization Of a s1O0,OO
issue in order to comply with the regu-
lations. Officials emphasized the fact,
however, that in any event it Is ex-
tremely doubtful that the full amount
would be necessary and they pointed
out again that only the amount reces-
Sary would be used.
The council also made formal ap-
plication to PWA for the federal grant
which will be the governments share
of the cost of the building.
Since the new building was first pro-
posed it has been pointed out repeated
ly that the passing of the bond issue
would not raise taxes for Ehe local
property owner.
Further details on the plans for the
new building from William Inglemann,
architect, will be announced soon along
with definite information on the mech
anics of the financing program, officials
said.

Next Year.

The Ely delegates to the state con-
vention of the Loyal Order of Moose
held in st. Paul the latter part of the
week did their work well and returned
the first of the week with the conven-
tion assured for Ely next year

convention, were Anton Kotchevar,
Martin Grahek, Frank Lindgren, Cliff
ford Takkunen, Mike Rom, William
Kelly, Jack Posflak, James Peyla, Anton
Lozar, James Mccarthy, Larry Ferder-
Der and Ed. Edwards.
Duluth was the contender for the
honor of being the host city for the
1886 convention but were outvoted al
most two to one in favor of Ely. The
speaker for Duluth put forth all the
allurements of weather. hotel accomo-
dations, scenery, etc., for his city but
the preponderance of sentiment in favor
of Ely, which has everything offered by
the bigger city, was too strong and Ely
was chosen.
The Ely delegation worked hard for
the gathering and were ably supported
by all the range delegates, even Proctor
raHying to the support of this city with
the result that the final vote was made
unanimous for Ely.
This assures Ely two large gatherings

Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters

1t was a pleasure to greet R.
j. McGhee of the Range Paper
Company here on Thursday
after an absence of six months
spent in the south in the in
terest of his health and a va
cation. His many friends on
the ranges will be pleased to
learn that he is feeling fine and
that he will be a regular visitor
in the future. Mr.. McGhee
represented the sixty-first dis
trict in the legislature a few
years back and it must be said
he served with distinction, both
to himself and the district he
represented.
Representatives McGhee and
Ray Anderson supported a bill
to assure the Vermilion range
direct representation in the
legislative body at st. Paul and
thus deprive one of the two
of his position. They were the
butt of many joke on the part
of other members who could
not imagine anyone legislating
themselves out of office and
voted down the meritorious
measure. The big towns on
the lower end of the district
felt that Ely and Tower did not
have votes enough to carry
their point and their opinion
was that the Vermilion range
needed no direct representa-
