Meeting For Discussion Of Public Problems

Discussion has been rampant the past
two weeks regarding the establishment

the miners mutuality committees of the
Oliver and Zenith mines were instructed

The committee took the matter in

SAYS ELY ALDERMAN
MAY HOLD LICENSE.

In answer to a problem arising in
this city, Attorney General Harry
III. Peterson ruled in an opinion
handed down last week that an
alderman may hold license to sell
intoxicating liquors.
Holding a 1884 license, Martin

trampling all predictions under bril-
liant floor game, went on to score a
breath-taking, % TO 10, win over the
highly touted Chisholm Merchants.
Outstanding favorites to sweep the
tournament, the Chisholm team, packed
with men from its famous high school
quints, found itself pitted against an
inspired team Of determined Ely cagers.
Sports writers had been generous in
their praise of the Chisholm squad and
free with their predictions that the team
would go far toward the state champi-
onship.. The Opera House cagers for
got the predictions, started the games
just as though they expected to win,
and went on TO play a smoother brand
Of ball than the favorites.
Gilbert fought its way up through
stiff opposition to meet Ely in the finals

Portages and Relief, Topics
Thrashed Out.

A large attendance was noted at the
meeting of the Ely Commercial Club

Richards, as the new president, pre-
sided at the meeting.
Many important matters were brought
up for discussion. The Frank Lozar
Post of the American Legion asked the
Club to express an opinion on new
community building project. Opinions
varied but the thought prevailed that
a community and not a recreation
building would be preferred. However,
several expressed themselves as favor
ing recreational facilities in the build
ing and thus have both under one roof
at a small additional cost. A COM
mittee to attend the mass meeting,
secure facts and report back TO the Club
was ordered.
A letter from the Broad committee
of the Mesabi range asking support to-
wards a branch organization in this
city was read. The Broad committee
IS going after more relief from the
government. As there did not seem to
be enough known Of the subject among
the members, the matter was referred
to the legislative committee.
As publicity matter, the Opera
House team of basketball players were
granted SIS to help defray expenses to
the regional tournament at Aitkin and
the Boy Scout Council was given $50
out of the $500 budgeted for this pr-
pose.

and Power Rates to
Remain Here.

Threatened with the loss Of a
$3.50, 000-a-year industry and an organi-
zation that kept forty men constantly
on the payroll, the Ely Commercial Club
and city administration this week went
into action in the fight TO keep the
Eemeralite Surfacing Products from
moving its plant from this city.
Rumored since the recent fire deS-
troyed a large part of the plant, the

day following long distance telephone
conversation between j. 3. Preston,
president Of the firm, in Minneapolis,
and Robert Ellis, local superintendent
A joint meeting Of the city officials and
Commercial Club was hurriedly called
and an immediate campaign planned IN
an effort TO keep the industry In Ely.
Excessive railroad freight and electric
power rates doomed as the two most
important factors in the company's
consideration Of the move. As q result,
the Commercial Club and city officials
viii direct their first efforts toward Sc
curing reduction in rates that would
enable the company TO do business here
and still meet competition.
The eompany's position was explained
at the meeting when it was pointed out,
from the company's standpoint, facts
fayoring and opposing the moving OF
the plant
It was pointed out that the freight
rate on the companyis products from
Ely to Chicago, their principal market,
was $2.7o per ton and that the rate was
inconsistent because it cost s11o from
here to Duluth, slightly more than 100
miles. and only SLIGO from that point
to Chicago, approximately 500 miles.
The high freight rate IS particularly
important because the company's chief
