NAMED FOR CITY
Varied List of Business Items
Confront Council at Tues
days Meeting.

| Election judges were named and poll
| ing places designated for the city elec-
ton Dec 5, at the council meeting held
Tuesday evening.
A long list of business items, from the
offering of Crossman's Point on Shaga-
wa lake to the city for price of $4,000
to the determination of rats at the
city dumping grounds, kept the alder
men in session until nearly II o'clock.
A report on the amount of money
available for city expenses was given by
Clerk A. O. Knutson After deducting
fixed charges, the city has SAB ,927. IA
with which to carry on the municipal
government for November and Deem
Der, he said
Dividing this equally between the two
months, it will mean a reduction of
81 ,69116 over September's expenditures
and $3,571.23 over October's, the clerk
SAID.
The offer of william Desjardins to
sell the proposed park site to the city
didn't receive much consideration be-
cause of the financial status of the city.
Councilman Joseph Spretzer, Jr., stated
that he doubted if the city could spare
the money for development and main
tenance of the location even if it were
given gratis to the municipality
A report on the savings to consumers

first 100 kilowatts of light current con-
sumed was made by Paul Buccowich,
Jr., superintendent of the water and
light department.
The report stated that during Sep
tember the city saved s398.56 of which
$293.06 was passed on to consumers
through the z of a cent reduction
adopted when the new contract with
the Minnesota Power & Light company
was approved. The city netted S1O5 so.
During October the city saved SAB .55,
the consumers receiving s390O5, with
the city gaining $3.50.
1t is apparent, the report continued,
that the city will lose a little during the
winter months, and gain during the

savings viii be passed on to consumers
Councilman Frank Vranesich suggest
ed that flat Is per cent reduction, in
stead of the present 10 per cent, be
given persons paying their bills on
time, and that the old light rate of 81
cents be restored. A check has revealed
hat such an arrangement would pass
on to consumers about the same amount

ioing, but it would allow the users of
power to get in on the savings No

Remodeled Edifice.

Bishop Ralph Cushman, st. Paul. has
been extended an invitation to speak
here Good Friday at the dedication of
the improvements to the Methodist
church edifice, according to the Rev.

man, who is in charge Of the states of
Minnesota, Wisconsin and North Da-
kota, to come here
The board of bishops OF the North
Central area will meet in December and
the presiding bishops trip here Will be
discussed at that time.

ated and refinished within and with
out. The final portion of this WORK.
the church parlors, is now being planned
and it is expected to have it completed
before Easter time.
A requisite to a dedication service is
that all expenses connected with the re-
modelling must have been retired. This
condition has already been met, tn.
pastor said, with the exception of the
church parlors.
At recent meeting of range Meth
odist pastors held in Virginia, it was
decided to ask Bishop Cushman to make
tour of the range on Passion Week.
