FILTRATION OF CITY

BY COUNCIL

The pinball machine question
reared its head again at the reg

Monday night when a group of
restaurant men appeared before
the group to ask for an ordinance
licensing the games. The council
will consider the matter at a spec

Another discussion on which no
immediate action was taken in
volved plans to remove iron and
manganese from city water by fill
tration. Council members agreed
that before work to remove odor
and taste from city water by sep
arating the minerals is started, an
adequate supply should be defin-
itely assured. AS soon as test
wells dug last summer are con-
nected and the supply appears to
be permanent, the problem of
mineral removal may be taken
up.

because they are polite and mild
ly encouraging but actually say
but little, several communications
from senator's, our congressman
and postal authorities concern
ing a federal building sought for
Redwood Falls were read by w.
M. Smith and N. R. Ryerson,
members O. the clubs postoffce
committee. Ah
Frank Clague, former congress-
man, discussed the procedure at
Washington on the matter of
postoffices and declared Redwood
Falls is next in line in the seventh
district, on basis of receipts,
for new building.
The suggestion was made that
a representative of the club be
sent to Washington to get action
but was not further considered.
Instead it was recommended that
the club keep working" on
every angle possible.
Questionnaires distributed at
the meeting to be returned un-
signed were slowly coming in
Wednesday with a wealth of sug-
gestions. On the matter of major
club detectives, the postoffice was
most frequently mentioned with
completion of highway II, estab-
lishment of junior college, i'm
provement of the water supply
and market days other sugges-
tons.
On the question what can we
do to make this finer c and CO"
the almost unanimous answer on
first returns was hire a paid sec
cretary." One member also sug-
gested higher dues.
To query on better co-opera-
ton between business men and
the fair board, the most frequent
suggestion was disseminating
trade tickets used to finance gate
prizes. On the parking problem,
the concensus is that a parking
lot must be found and city peo-
pie must be prevented from
parking cars down town on busy
days and nights.
The water supply is generally
unsatisfactory, answers indicate
while the number who said yes
on the matter of a softening plant
about balance the no votes. A
trade day celebration was gener-
ally approved while the matter
of restoring bargain day and of
celebrating the Fourth got some
yes votes and about the same
number Of no ballots.
Under remarks, more general
naming Of individuals on commit
tees and work on scheme for
separate maintenance of club
rooms by those using them were
suggested.
