Request Sur
vey For River
Have Notes of Survey
Made Years Ago
Under ERA
NEED MORE FACTS
Plan To Send Staff
Member To City
For Study of Project

A request to the Department Of
Conservation, Division of Drainage
and Waters, for a survey Of Sank
River preliminary to Strengthening
the channel from the dam to a
point in the Brown pasture,
brought forth some interesting in
formation.
According to the letter from Wal
ter S. Olson, director of the Divis-
ion of Drainage and Waters, the
department had some information
about an old survey made by ERA
on the Sank River. These survey
notes were never plotted, however,
after a study of the notes. the city
clerk will receive the information
contained in that survey and he
will be advised as to their adapta-
bility for use in outlining the pro-
posed project.
Mr.. Olson, however, doubts the
sufficiency of that survey, as there
are several factors involved in the
Strengthening of river, which, he
believes, were not taken into con-
sideration at that time.
Important factors and necessary
information include the total
length Of the river as it is now in
the state of nature, and the pro-
posed length after Strengthening,
together with the drop between the
two points. The latter matter, said
Mr.. Olson, is one of considerable
Importance in determining just
what effect the Strengthening will
have upon the future habits of the
river.
A member of the staff of the
Division Of Drainage and Waters
will be sent to this city in the near
future to discuss the problem with
council members and those directly
interested.
In the matter Of the fish rearing
pond, planned in connection with
the above project, the committee
has as yet, received no information
from the Conservation Department.
However, the committee is work.
ing diligently and will do every
thing possible to rush preliminary
work and investigation so that ear
ly assurance of it's feasibility may
be forthcoming.

Seats of 1941
Are Selected
Glenwood Will Have
District Event
Melrose Sub-District

Glenwood was given the seat of
the 1871 basketball tournament and
Melrose was named as the sub-dis-
trict seat this week, it was an
nounced by Supt. e. w. Olson after
five schools of this division had
set dates for the pre-district elimi-
nation meet and plotted a new ar
rangement for drawing that will do
away with sub-district champion
ship. Dates for this sub-district
are Monday and Wednesday, March
Bird and 5th.
And the new plan, without
provision for seeding Sank Cen
ire and Melrose In opposite
brackets, gives these two rival
clubs a $3.50 chance for meet
ing in sub district rounds that
for one will mean exit from the
district scrap.
Actually the plan calls for an
open draw, but Upsala, Grey Eagle
and Burtrum will determine by
seasons play the weakest team of
these three. Names Of other four
teams will be drawn by lot. First
team drawn plays the weakest of
the above three teams, the first
game of the first night Of the sub
district. Second and third teams
drawn play each other the first
night, second game. Winner OF
game one plays the fourth team
drawn on the second night. Sec
ond night preliminary is between
the first night losers.
The plan, passed by a vote OF
8 to 2, provides really for just
three tournament games. Winner
of the second first night game and
winner of the second night game
go to the district.
In the plan there is the chance
for Melrose or Sank Centre to be
either of teams, 2, 8, and 5, which
opens two possibilities for meeting.
They could meet as teams and 4,
drawn as second and third from
the hat; or meet as teams 1 and 5
after already playing one round.
A rotation of tournaments Is be-
ing planned for future years, Mr..
Olson said, in which schools able
to handle the events will take turn.
Sank Centre next year, if not
awarded the district, will take this
sub-district tournament it was an
nounced.

People Asked
Not To Call
About Fires
Information of Fire
Locations Not Avail
able To Public

Request for people to refrain
from calling operators during a
fire alarm for the specific purpose
of getting information on the fire
was made this week by Robert Lat
terall, manager of the Northwest
ern Bell Telephone company ex-
change, in a move for full coopera-
ton with the Sank Centre Fire
Department.
Operators" Mr.. LATERAL
said, "are strictly forbidden to
give out information about
fires to anyone but firemen.
Calls from others put such a
load on operators during fires
that often firemen themselves
are delayed in getting neces-
sary information"
He stressed the fact that opera
tors cannot ignore any calls at any
time, but must handle them as
quickly as possible. There is no
way of knowing whether call al
that time is from fireman or from
some other individual, he said. The
program calls for complete coop
Grafton from individuals.
The problem has increased in the
last few fires, he pointed out, and
if firemen are going to get the
cooperation they need to get in.
formation to them as quickly as
possible then people not associated
with the fire department will have
to avoid calling for that specific
information. Since the operator
cannot give the information, the
call is wasted and valuable time on
the switchboard along with it.
At the same time Mr.. Lateral
announced that the local exchange
will have installed two new electri.
cally operated calculagraphs-the
clock like arrangements that com.
pute the time for long distance
calls. They replace the old type
hand-wound instruments. Installa
ton, he said, will be made immed

materials.

proximately two degrees west OF
st. Paul, it will be necessary to add
eight minutes to the time as pub

ment, in announcing the schedule
in its bulletin says, that the varia-
ton is approximately four minutes
to each degree. Hunters, hence
must add to determine time for
points west. and subtract for points
east of st. Paul.
For instance, on september 10Th,
the schedule says that the sun will
rise at 6O4 and will set at 6.O6, at
the longitude of st. Paul. Adding
eight minutes for hunting in
Stearns County sets the sunrise at

For Last Week

Among a call for bids on five

and culverts, to complete the pro-

Sealed proposals on this project
will be opened at the highway Of
flee on October 18th.
This project, extension Of High
way No. from Metre Grove to
Highway No. So, east of the over
head bridge, between Sank Centre
and Melrose, has been a Commun-
ity Club project for almost six
years, and through the committees
efforts, and the continued work of
residents of Metre Grove and COM
munity, the project has become a
reality.
This project was held up for
sometime, because federal second
airy road funds We're not available.
As soon as the funds were made
available, promises for extension of
the road were put into action by
advertising for bids.
This was the logical solution for
this road, and the extension will
be an asset to the Metre Grove,
Greenwald and Sank Centre COM
munities.
Bids for the concrete bridge over
Sank River on this extension were
called for last week.
