CITY AWARDED
PWA REQUEST
Federal Approval of Addition
to Water Plant Project,
Press Reports Say.

Ely's application for an increased loan
and grant from the federal government
on the water system improvement pro-
jet was apparently approved for a
larger amount than the council re-
QueSted, according to press dispatches
from Washington. D. c.. early this week.
Newspaper accounts said that the ap-
plication was among those approved and
City Clerk A o. Knutson received a
letter from william Carey, state PwA
engineer, stating that the additional
funds had apparently been approved y
Other than that no formal notice had
been received but city officials were con-
fident that the report was correct.
Press reports said that the loan and
grant for the local project had been in
creased from $4,000 to $8o,50o, al
though the council had only requested
an increase of approximately s4,700
City officials explained that the PwA
engineers had probably re-checked the
estimated increase and considered the
extra 81 800 necessary above the amount
requested to finish the project.
The request for additional funds was
made in order TO add a garage and
machine shop to the water plant.
Ey's increased loan and grant was
among 10 non-federal projects which
were approved and recommended to

N. E. ACTORS
PRESENT PLAY
Capable Cast Produces 3-Aci
Comedy Wednesday Before
Large Audience.

THE Little Clodhopper," a three act
comedy by Walter Hare, kept a capacity
crowd in the best of humor at the
Washington auditorium, Wednesday
evening, May Is, when it was pre-
sented with a capable cast under the
auspices of the Methodist Senior Fellow
ship.
The play is a rollicking farce with a
number of very difficult situations.
That the cast did full justice to the play
was demonstrated in the prolonged ap-
plause greeting the situations and the
characters portraying the parts.
No small factor entering into the sue
cessful presentation was the work of
Miss Lucilla Bridson, soloist for the
evening, the High School orchestra,
under the direction of Frank DiNino
and the able direction of Mrs. Louis
Eckert who had charge Of the cast and
production.
The leading characters making I'D the
cast were given as follows:
Septimus Green, Stanley Kent

Ely Auxiliary Members Will
Call On You Saturday;
Be Generous.

Nearly 10000 new names win be on
the scroll of Americas dead defenders
when the nation honors its war dead on
Memorial Day this year, according to
Mrs. Jack Gianotti, President of the
Frank Lozar Unit Of the American
Legion Auxiliary. World War veterans
have been dying at the average rate of
90 per day during the last year, making
nearly $4,000 who have passed on since
last Memorial Day.
This high death rate among veterans
gives Poppy Day, next Saturday
heightened Importance, Mrs. Gianotti
explained. On this day the Auxiliary
women collect contributions which form
the major source of support for their
work for needy families of veterans
Throughout the year. Unless generous
public support is given the Auxiliary's
Poppy Day appeal, the welfare activities
Of the Unit cannot be maintained.
Almost every veteran who dies now
leaves widow and children. and few
leave sufficient means to provide for
their families" said Mrs. Gianotti
The seventeen years which have passed
since the war make it very difficult to
prove that the veterans death resulted
from war service, and unless such legal
proof can be established. no government
aid is available for the family. The
Legion and Auxiliary must step in with
emergency aid until other aid can be
secured or the family made self-sup-
porting.
In addition to the veterans who die
there are more than 100000 constantly
in hospitals. We endeavor to do some.

GOODS EXEMPT
Jewels, Art Objects and Every.
thing in the Home Exempt
From Taxation.

When the 1885 legislature exempted
household goods" from taxation, it.
action resulted in relieving owners from
all taxes on diamonds and other jewelry
silver plate, art objects and like per-
sonal and household effects.
So assessors have been notified. They
are out now assessing personal prop
erty," but the new law relieves them OF
the job of ringing door bells in resi-
dence districts and interviewing house
wives. The contents of homes pay 10
taxes, no matter how valuable.
The legislature may have gone farther
than it meant to go, but effect of its
action is to wipe one entire class of
personal property of tax rolls.
Under ruling of the attorney gen.
eral, the state tax commission has
notified assessors that the new law,
Chapter 385, exempts all property in
Class 2 from assessment.
The legislature last winter undertook
to carry out provisions of a constitu-
tional amendment adopted by voters OF
the state last November, which author
lied exemption of household goods and
farm machinery, "as the legislature may
determine" In passing the act, the
legislature did not attempt any def
milton, but provided exemption of AL
household goods Of every household"
Chairman George E Wallace of the
state tax commission said yesterday that
the commission has difficulty in figuring
just what this meant. Attorney Gen.
eral Harry H. Peterson was asked to
rule, and he advised the commission
that the exemption applies to all prop
erty in Class 2

FORMER ELY
MATRON DIES
Death of Mrs. w. d. Gallagher
at Los Angeles, a Shock
to Ely Friends.

1t was with the most profound feeling
of regret that the many friends in this
city Of Mrs. W. D. Gallagher learned of
her death in Los Angeles, California,
on Thursday, May II.
While it was known that Mrs. Gall
agher was in serious condition and
that no hopes of her recovery were
entertained by physicians in charge, the
telegram announcing her death came as
a distinct shock.
Mrs. Gallagher came 10 Ely as bride
from Louisville, Kentucky, on May Il,
1902. Her husband, w D. Gallagher,
was employed with the mining company
here as an electrician and had spent
two years here before going east for his
marriage.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gallagher resided here
up to February last year when they
removed to Los Angeles where their
three sons and families reside. Mr..
Gallagher had supervision of the cleo
trical work for the Oliver Iron Mining
Company up TO a few months before the
departure for California. He retired on
pension and the trip west was made
in the interest Of his health.
The three sons, William D. Jr, Henry
and Charles s., were born in this city
and graduated from the Ely schools.
William is associated with a prominent
firm Of attorneys; Henry is physician,
and Charles, journalist. All are
prominent in Los Angeles
Mrs. Gallagher was active during her
80 years Of residence in Ely in the social
and fraternal life of the city. Accord
ing to advices, the funeral was held
Saturday.
The sympathy of host of friends Is
rendered the bereaved husband. sons.
and other survivors.

Initial Steps aiken In
Moue To Form Junior
Commerce Group Here
Young Business Men Plan
Own Organization; to
Call Meeting.
PLAN GETS SUPPORT
At Least Fifty Members
Are Expected to Join
in First Drive.

Preliminary plans for the organization
Of the young business and professional
men Of Ely into a junior civic club Of
the commercial club type were launched
this week
Letters have gone out TO the Duluth
Virginia and Hibbing Junior Chambers
Of Commerce requesting information on
organizations Of their type. As soon as
the necessary information is received
a representative of one Of those groups
viii be invited to come here for an or
ganizaJion meeting.
When the date for the meeting has
been set, invitations to attend will be
mailed to approximately fifty pro-
spective charter members. It IS ex-
pected that the meeting viii be held
early next week.
The need for the organization Of the
young business and professional men
was pointed out by one Of the group
sponsoring the move. He indicated the
list OF half hundred young men who
are prospective members and brought
out the fact that if their efforts for
civic betterment were concentrated in
an organization it could prove in
valuable to the progress of the COM
munity.
Although they would not be affiliated
according to present plans, the junior
organization would act as an aid to
the Commercial Club in promoting pro-
jects for the good Of the community.
Present plans call for the organiza-
ton TO be formed as a strictly local
group although it is thought possible
that II would later be affiliated with the
national Junior Chamber of Com
merce or some other national civic Or
ganization.
