Recommends Purchase of
New Equipment for City

the purchase of fire-damaged stock OF
the Ely Cash Market about which DR..
Thompson had contacted the NUM-
c1oalities association.
DR.. Thompson had recommended to
the city that it do something to stop
the intra-state shipment for resale of
fire damaged grocery stocks that had
not been properly inspected.
Expenses of operating the city for
February, Clerk A. o. Knutson re-
ported, were 31,37251.
A club license for the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors was granted to the Yugo-
Slav National Home, Inc. City At
torney Thomas j. Carey informed the
council that the city could legally grant
as many club licenses as it desired but
that receivers thereof must be incor-
porated, must have been doing bust
ness in the state at least 20 years, and
that sales could be made only to mem
bers. Fee is 500. The Moose club has
a similar license.
Erection of street signs In districts
in which new sidewalks have been laid
was approved, complying with request
made by Acting Postmaster John A.
Harri so that carrier service of the
postoffice could be extended to these
districts.
The city engineer was directed to
compile cost estimates for placing new
roof on the city hall.
Carey reported that the Golf club
still holds the lease on the golf grounds
so that at present the city could not
obtain the property for use of a winter
sports bowl.

Somero Says "Ely Most Poorly
Equipped City in State;"
Action is Delayed.

Declaring that "the city of Ely is
without question one of the most poorly
equipped cities in the state" City En-
gineer Waino Somero, in communica-
ton read at the council meeting Tues
day evening, recommended that the
group procure new snow removal equip
ment and a new gabage truck.
After considering the recommended
lions in the committee of the whole,
the council laid them on the table for
further discussion at the next meet
ing to be held March 10.
New snow removal equipment recon-
mended by City Engineer Somero in
Guided heavy truck or tractor with a
V-Shaped pillow and wing, small one
way blades for the White trucks, and
a proper sidewalk pillow.
1--WE have been particularly fortunate
this winter on the snow removal prob
lem," he said, and pointed out that the
normally heavy fall that usually oc-
ours would have isolated some sec
lions of the city because (present)
equipment could not open up streets
and roads"
The motor grader is the only piece
of snow-removal equipment the city
has, he said. The relay truck is not in
shape to tackle heavy work, and side
walks are plowed with the tractor from
the old grader which is unsuitable for
heavy falls, he continued.
He recommended that a covered
garbage truck be purchased and pointed
out that some of the items requested
were included in the budget for the
year. Replacing of two jack hammers
and an air compressor, and purchase of
an asphalt heater kettle with spray
attachment and a sander for the street
commissioners department, were recon-
mended.
After lengthy discussion of the
labor situation here and the methods
used in dishing out work to city en-
ployes, Alderman Toimi Ahola made a
motion "that the city try to make
arrangements to give those needing
more work more days per month and
discontinue giving work to those who
do not need it." 1t died for lack of
support, but raised a question that is
expected to come to the fore in future
meetings.
The Vermilion Electric Shop was
awarded a contract for six trans
formers at a cost of $81192. Nine
firms submitted bids.
A communication received by DR..
John E. Thompson from c. c. Ludwig,
executive secretary of the League of
Minnesota Municipalities, stated that
it was the duty of inspectors within
the division of dairy and foods of the
state department of agriculture to in
spect fire damaged stocks of grocery
stores. Ludwig said he would be "glad
to get specific information" concerning
