Directors of
Wool Pool
Meet May 8
Reelected Entire Directorate
At Meeting Held Satur-
day Afternoon
PLAN A GREATER POOL
Membership And Fee Problem
Discussed Suggest 25c
For Each Member

Seeking establishment of better
prices and more uniform grading
members of the Sank Centre Wool
growers met Saturday afternoon
with Todd County representatives
in an attempt to unite four coun-
ties into one large wool pool con-
verging at this point. Tabling most
of the business to the meeting OF
the local Board of Directors, the
group set the Directors meeting for
Saturday evening, May 8, beginning
at 7:30 o'clock.
While not as many attended as
expected and absent were represen.
tatives from some of the counties
Mr. White and Mr.. Renecke, OF
Verndale, were in attendance and
gave reasonable assurance that the
Verndale group would market
through the local pool. Notices will
fbe sent other growers In the coun-
ties of Todd, Pope, and Douglas as
to dates for sale and delivery as set
by the local Directors.
No formal organization evolved
from Saturdays meeting, but grow.
ers are aware that through a Co
operative effort at pooling they
will be more able to better prices
and grading, it was the consensus
of opinion. Attempts of Mr.. Her.
zog, president of the local Board
to resign in favor of an out OF
town director were frustrated wher
the group unanimously voted to re
instate the Directors in the statu:
quo.
| Problems of membership were
discussed and the group decided OF
the suggestion to be relayed to thu
board that a uniform rate of q
cents be charged for each partici
pant in the pool. Such member
ships, they affirmed, would be de
ductable at the sale.
Tabled to the Board Of Director
meeting were dates for wool sal
and delivery days. A tentative dat
for the wool sale was decided upol
as May 81, subject to decision o
the Board and Ringing on the date
set by other northern pools.
Comment generally was favor
able for good prices this year AM
the establishment of four-count..
organization received hearty en-
dorsement of the Saturday group.

Commissioner GiveS Detailed
account of City Water Plant

8 per cent interest and to pay full
interest to the bond holders. There
is no remedy for this situation.
At the present time the annual
interest on the bonds is $500 and
$1,000 has to be rasied for the
sinking fund, making $500 which
must be paid this year on account
of the bonded debt. In the same
way, the interest and $1,000 for the
sinking fund must be raised each
year.
In addition to this expense the
cost of electricity for pumping and
the cost of operating the plant
have to be paid. During the past
year the electricity, at the exact
figure paid for it by the light de-
partment, cost $400319 for pump
ing, and other items, the principal
of which was $1,000 for labor,
Drought the operating expense to
$6858.7O. Adding this to the $500
required for bonds makes 81, 75S.-
70.
How closely the present rates
earn this required amount Is shown
from the last years statement. The
net profit appears as $2558.82. From
this will have to be deducted $4,000
for the bond sinking fund, which
is payable July LIST and this will
leave $55882 profit and, II the
1895 summer had not been dry SO
as to create great demand for
water, this profit would have been
much smaller.
The cash balance Of the water
department at the end OF the fiscal
year and as shown in the state
ment, Is $11,148.70 and deducting
the $500 which will have to be
paid for bond interest and sinking
fund on July LIST, leaves $5248.70
which Is the open account Of the
department. This represents all OF
the cash surplus Of the water de-
