Schilplin, In City,
Predicts Another
Boom In Building

Fred H. Schilplin, director of
the Federal Housing administra-
ton in Minnesota, predicted an
other building boom this summer
while visiting Redwood Falls Fri
day.
He spent several hours here,
calling at the Citizens State bank
through which the loans are hand
led and visiting a few of the
FHA's customers of last year,
''To see if they have any COM
plants on the way they have been
treated" he said.
Loans are steadily increasing
in number and will reach a high
figure again this year, according
to the st. Cloud publisher. Delin-
quencies on loans made last year
are so few in number as to be
really negligible, he said.
He commented on the number
of stores, their appearance ano
the general "air" of the town anc
declared "You have real little
city here"

LOCAL BOARD MEMBERS
WILL INTERVIEW
COMMISSION

With the parking fee in state
parks scheduled to go into effect
Sunday, members of the Ramsey
park board will go to St. Paul
Friday to make another protest
to the state conservation commits
sion which meets that day.
Unless the order to charge rs
cents parking fees is rescinded,
more drastic steps will be taken
Joseph R. Keefe, spokesman for
the park board, stated. He de-
clined to say just what method
would be used to combat the park
ing charge. "The park was de-
veloped for the people," Mr.. Keefe
said, "and the idea of charging
for parking in the park on Satur-
days, Sundays and holidays is a
down right infringement of their
rights" There will be no fee on
week days.
Mr.. Keefe will be accompanied
to St. Paul by George A. Barnes,
Hans M. Aune, DIR. w. A. Brand
and w. S. Brammer, the other

MORGAN WANTS
STREETS PAVED

Morgan-Petitions were present
ed to the council here last week
asking that body to provide btu
minous treatment on four blocks
of streets, part of which would
be the main business block.
A large majority of owners of
abutting property who would be
affected by the expense of the i'm
provement, signed the petitions.
Keeping the present streets free
from dust and draining them fol-
lowing heavy rains has been a
constant problem.
The council is disposed to act
favorably in the matter. After
routine matters are settled, the
contract will be let, the streets
viii be cut down to proper meas
urements and allowed to settle for
q month during which traffic will

Hangs Himself
FORMER COUNTY HOME
RESIDENT FOUND
IN BARN

absolute silence for several
months, Walter Moore, 62, farm
hand and former inmate of the
Redwood county home hung him.
self Tuesday in the barn of his
employer, William C. Nelson, near
Walnut Grove.
The body was discovered short
ly before noon when Mr.. Nelson
brought his horses into the barn
from the field. As the feet touched
the floor of the stall and only a
short length of clothesline rope
had been used, it was apparent
that he had stepped up to board,
nailed ladderlike against the wall
about a foot from the floor and
jumped off.
DR.. T. E. Finn, acting coroner
in the absence of DIR. j. Gordon
Cole, was called to the farm, loca-
ted four and a half miles north of
Walnut Grove. He pronounced the
death a suicide.
According to members of the
Nelson family, Moore had been 81
lent and respondent ever since he
came to work for them this win
ter. However he had never talk
ed of suicide, they said. He was
last seen alive when he came to
the house at 9 a. M, asked for a
drink of water and remarked
about the weather. He left no note
to explain his action.
A resident of Redwood county
for many years, Moore is survived
by several brothers and sisters,
one brother living at Tracy. He
has worked on several farms
throughout the vicinity and was
employed off and on over a per-
iod of years at the Nelson place.
