Mccormack Suggests Cement
Tennis Courts and 22O
Straightaway

Definite assurance that football
games next fall will be played on
lighted field was given this week
by Redwood Falls Recreational
association directors as work be-
gan on the project.
Preparations for grading of the
site of the gridiron have been
completed and it is expected that
levelling of the field will be well
underway by next week. As soon
as the grading is done, the entire
area inside the track will be sod
ded in order that the field will be
ready for use in the fall. The sod
is to be obtained at a cost of SIC
an acre and will also be laid on
the main softball diamond which
is inside the track.
Work started Tuesday when
Bonnie Lindeman, hired Monday
night by the Recreational associa-
tion's board of directors, began
dragging the football field site
preparatory to levelling it. Fol.
lowing a survey, dirt-removine
operations will begin, probably
within few days.
The athletic plant project was
highly praised by Frank McCor-
mack, director of athletics at the
University Of Minnesota, who was
here last Thursday to inspect the
plans and the site. He approved
the plans generally and made sew
eral recommendations including
the suggestion that a 22O yard
straightaway be added to the
track facilities. He recommended
an eight lane track. Mr.. McCor-
mack also suggested that only
concrete tennis courts be built as
they are more economically main
tanned.
Mr.. Mccormack congratulated
the city on its initiative in under
taking such project and stated
that other communities plan te
follow in Redwood Falls steps
Efforts will be made, he said, te
have projects of that type incor-
porated in regular school projects
K. w. Stockton, president Of the
Recreational association, announ
ced Wednesday that the subscrip.
tion has not been completed anC
that those persons who were miss.
ed in the first drive will be solic.
tied soon.

val on duty, courtesy and any out
of the way service rendered by an
officer entities him to added
points. It is the duty of the cap
tain to record the time his patrol
men report and their conduct. The
officers in turn report to the cap

dren who have violated the safety
rules or have been thoughtless or
careless in the observance of re-
gulations.
At the end of the school year if
a patrolman has earned 1000 hon.

over 1000 are recognized by spe-
cial awards or mention. Favors
the boys receive during the school
term are free admission to all

rooms in which their observances
of regulations were recorded on
large chart arranged thermometer
fashion, the room having the high

Victory Seen
For Foes of
M &St.L Sale
JONES TO CONSIDER
NEW PLAN FOR
CONTINUANCE

Victory for the opponents of the
plan to sell and dismember the
Minneapolis and ST. Louis rail-
road appears today to be near at
hand.
Active work is now under way
on a reorganization setup which
will be presented as a substitute
for the scheme to break up the NJ.
G. st. L. into branch lines of six
competing carriers. Jesse Jones,
chairman of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, has agreed
to consider any plan given him to
save the road.
Because of this promise a SEN
ate sub committee which has been
investigating the dismemberment
proposal and particularly the
RIGS part in it, has halted its
hearings in order to leave the
road clear for a reorganization
plan.
Philip Roosevelt of New York,
chairman of the bondholders COM
mittee, has announced that a plan
to continue the M. & St. L. as a
unit is under way, involving
loan of $5,OOO,0OO from the RFC
and the raising of $1,0Q0,000 in
private capital to end the receiv-
erShip.
1t was pointed out here that it
may be necessary for the inter-
state commerce commission to
continue with it's consideration OF
the dismemberment plan, if the
Associated Railways company
proposed purchaser, does not with
draw, and then take up the reor-
ganiZation plan, determining
which one to approve.
When reorganization plan
was presented two years ago there
was little accord among bond
holders. Most of these Difficult
ties today are said to have been
overcome. In view of this situa-
tion and because of the almost
universal opposition to the dis
memberment plan, it is felt that
Mr.. Jones would not refuse $5,-
100000 RFC loan for reorganiza-
ton.
Approval of reorganization by
the RFC and ICC would mean
maintenance of the road as a
unit, which employees and COM
munities have desired.

BROWN COUNTY SHERIFF
NABS THIEF WHILE

cash, stolen "a hours earlier from
Hugo Meyer, farmer living mile
north of Clements.
Having lost money in a bank
failure several years ago, Meyer
kept $4500 in cash and securities
as well as a gold watch and valu-
able string of pearls in a strong
box attached to the wall in a
downstairs closet of his home.

a grove, it's back wrenched off.
$500 in cash, the securities and
jewelry had been left. He immed-
lately called Jack Burns of Will
mar, investigator for the bureau
of criminal apprehension, who
was unable to record any finger
prints from the rough surface of
the safe.
Recalls Hired Hand
Questioned as to who might
have robbed him, Meyer was un-
able to give officers any leads, IN
sisting that no one but himself
knew of the strong g-box's where
abouts. Monday, however, he visit
ed the sheriff's office here to in
form them that Hasse had worked
for him last year for short time
and might have discovered the
cache.
Beatty checked up to find that a
man answering Hasse's description
had eaten supper in Morgan Sat
urday night and had been seen
near the Meyer farm at about $3.50
a. m. Sunday by neighbor. At
10 a. M, he found, Hasse stopped
at another farm near the Meyer
place, appearing very excited and
perspiring as if he had been run
ming, to ask for a drink of water.
Further investigation showed that
Hasse had taken train from New
Ulm to Sleepy Eye Saturday. evl-

box in which his clothes were
packed.
