Explanation
of Conditions
of School
Offer Problem To Solve
Educational Needs
of Community

For several months, the school
board has been working on the
problem Of solving the educational
needs for this community. All OF
you have realized for some time
that additional school facilities are
necessary, and it has been the OBJ
ject of the board to attempt to sub
NIT a plan which will meet the
needs Of the community and at the
same time keep the cost as low as
possible.
The state department and the
architects employed, informed us
that the present Senior High build
ing is too good to destroy, and that
it could be moved and reconditioned
and be suitable for educational pur-
poses for a minimum of 20 years
and probably for more.
AS soon as the plans were sub
nitted to the board, small meetings
and a mass meeting were held in
order that the public in general
might be conversant with the prob
lem, for after all, it is a problem of
the community, and the school
board is merely their agent.
Feeling that many of you were
unable to attend these meetings, the
board is taking the liberty of pub
fishing some cuts Of the proposed
changes so that when this Is sub
mitted to you for vote on a bond
issue, you will all be familiar with
the changes suggested. The i'm
provement in the Senior High
school with the addition to the east,
the construction of an auditorium
assembly, the addition Of garage
for the buses, and our whole plant
be put in good condition, will neces-
state a bond issue of not to exceed
$40, 900. We have been assured that
these bonds can be issued with an
interest rate in the neighborhood of
IN percent, just exactly what that
interest rate will be cannot be de-
termined until submitted to bond
houses.

Parallel Park
ing To Stay
Says State
Streets Less Than 70
Feet Under Parking
Order of State
NEED REGULATIONS
Recommend Merchants
Park Elsewhere In
Favor of Customers

Sometime ago a committee from
the Community Club called at the
Office Of the State Highway depart
ment in an attempt to abolish par
allel parking in Sank Centre. They
did not meet with success as the
department demands that all cities
with streets less than 70 feet wide,
which are state highways, adopt
parallel parking. The highway de-
partment has jurisdiction over eigh-
teen feet in the center of the street.
It Is generally admitted that par
allel parking, as it now operates
in Sank Centre, is devoid of regu-
lation, and that it creates a hard
ship on the motorist, hence, regu-
lations will be recommended to the
Council for adoption in the near
future.
In connection with the question
Of parallel parking the Community
Club received the following letter
from w. F. Rosenwald, traffic en-
gineer Of the department of high
ways:
May q, 1888.
Mr.. D. B. Caughren,
President, Community Club,
Sank Centre, Minnesota.
Re: Parking situation in
Sank Centre.
Dear Mr.. Caughren:
Mr.. c. 8. Thomas of your city call
at this office this morning in con-
nection with the parking situation,
and I believe that between us we
have rather complete picture of
what the situation is, and we nat
urally appreciate the problem from
the local slant. It Is probably not
necessary to recite much of the sur
rounding arguments and data. Mr..
Thomas will be able to give you a
rather comprehensive outline Of the
situation from the national and
statewide standpoint.
I believe you are aware that we
are adhering to a policy Of consent
ing to angle parking on a trunk
highway only in cases where the
distance between curbs is 70 feet or
more, and, Of course, it is self-evi-
dent that any deviation from this
principle will naturally have to ap-
ply statewide in fairness to other
communities. Mr.. Thomas suggest
ed that possibly an angle Of 30 de-
grees rather than a As degrees an
gle might be a part solution. How
ever, we find that there is only one
car per hundred feet difference in
the 80 degrees parking than par
allel parking, so that considering
the increased hazards Of the angle
parking, the parallel parking would
undoubtedly be the logical solution.
Our Statewide experience is that
the actual difficulty in parking
problems is that in almost all cases
so much space is occupied by local
commercial people, and in very few
cases do we find more than about

Commission
Adopted New
Rate Monday
Ten Percent Discount
On Light and Power
Effective After June 6

In a meeting Monday night, June
9Th, members Of the Water, Light
& Power Commission adopted new
rate, which will mean a reduction
to consumers Of 1850 or more pei
year.
This new rate is a ten percent
discount on residential and com
mercial light and power. It does
not apply to municipal consump.
ton, or to the cooking or heat rate
Of 2h cents or to water heating.
Present minimums such as $1.0C
per meter for light, and power min
imums per h. p. are not affected
and remain in effect. This reduc-
ton applies only to light and power
and does not include water service
It is understood that this ten per.
cent reduction, which goes into ef-
feet on all billings made after June
9Th, will bring the local rate in line
with other cities of like size.
The Commission also has adopted
the lc rate on controlled water
heating, however, this will not be
offered to the public until proper
details can be worked out. It Is
understood this will be done within
the next few days.
Recent tests in the water pump.
ing system revealed deficiencies
from the wells to the low stage
tank, and from there to the mains
The deficiency from the low stage
tank to the mains was estimated al
approximately fifty percent, and
the Commission has purchased q
new pump, which It is said has g
guaranteed efficiency Of 70 percent
The deficiency from the wells to
low stage tank, 1t is said, can be
cured by cleaning the screens. De.
ficiencies in pumping cannot be de-
termined accurately without a mas
ter meter, and until some time
elapses actual deficiencies or in
creases cannot be given. The new
pump is now being installed and
will soon be ready for service.
