RER0uTING OF
NO. | Drawn
Plans Completed for Changing
State Highway Through
City of Tower.

Plans for the relocation of No. l
through the city of Tower have been
completed by the state highway de-
partment, according to the Tower
Weekly News.
Presented to a group of business men
last week by w. N. Bement, Virginia,
project engineer for the department,
they call for extending the paving on
No. | from its western terminus through
the city to the underpasS at Soudan.
The road will be rerouted so as to
take a nearly straight course from the
bottom of the hill at the western end
of the city, crossing East Two Rivers at
a point near the present public dock
and connecting with Main street at a
point a short distance west of the
Arrowhead garage corner.
It will run directly through the
business section to the eastern end OF
Main street, where the Mckinley monu-
ment will be moved 10 feet west and
60 feet south of its present location
with the highway taking practically q
straight course to the Beatty crossing
between Tower and Soudan.
The gravel hill at that point viii
be cut through and the roadway vii
make a sweeping curve to the underpas'
at Soudan. Seven bad curves will bt
eliminated.
When the work will be started ha'
not been revealed.

it with the city, both sharing the ex-
penses thereof He also declared that
the attitude of the county board was
that "if the city of Ely doesn't care
anything about the field. why should
the county?"
Several attempts by Commissioner
Pete, he stated, to obtain funds for
improving the field had failed. Other
airports in the county are owned by
the various municipalities, he con-
tinued, and the county board had re-
fused to grant funds to improve the
local one.
Maintaining the airport would be
the only cost to the city. The proposal
was referred to the clubs advertising
committee which is in charge of the
dedication.
Secretary Ray Hoefler reported that
attempts were being made to have
Canadian authorities permit United
States planes to fly to Canadian lakes
adjacent to the border by stopping at
the ranger station at Eastwood instead
of going to Fort Frances, the nearest
point of entry.
In regard to the annual controversy
over high water on White Iron lake
Hoefler stated that the Town of Fall
Lake had informed him that it would
be glad to cooperate. Mrs. Jane Lo-
masney, clerk, pointed out that de-
creased tax revenue, both in the Town
of Fall Lake and Lake County, would
prohibit the town from making any
expenditures at this time. On the SAME
subject the Lake county auditor in
formed the club that when the county
board makes its annual spring checkup
of roads it would look over the Fall
Lake situation.
DR.. John E. Thompson, city veterin-
arian and chemist, stated that the state
board of health had films on plumbing
methods that comply with the state
code and on well sanitation that he
suggested be secured and shown here
The proposal was referred to the pub
lie improvements committee headed by
A. j. McMahan.
In reporting on outdoor shows
Hoefler said that $4,000 of the clubs
10000 Ely booklets had been given out.
The Navy Pier show at Chicago was the
biggest one for Ely, with % local people
and 10 resorts represented. The club
appeared either on it's own or with
other organizations at two Chicago
shows, Fort Wayne, Cincinnati, St.
Louis, and Minneapolis.
A story and colored map prepared by
Ben Ames Williams and appearing in
the last issue of Golfers which among
other things states that Wisconsin has
more lakes than any other state in the
Union will be vigorously protested by
the club. The story and map, listing
the nations fishing spots, made no
mention of the Greatest Canoe Country
on Earth and said that the muskel-
lunge was the No l game fish of
Minnesota.

towns as is the case with range cities.
They are protected by each other, and
any one of them can get help in 10
or Is minutes, and with outside help
are protected with seven or eight fully
equipped trucks.
Citizens of Ely, what I ask for is
protection for you, your homes, and
for Ely. What happened in Chisholm,
Moose Lake, and Cloquet can happen
here with the equipment we have on
hand. In case of a fire in the business
district, there would be very little pro-
lection for the rest Of the town. Citi-
zens, I ask your cooperation"
Among the other items recommended
by the city engineer to be purchased
now was an asphalt heating kettle,
which he said would cost about 5000.
This was also included in the budget
and was referred to the sales and pur-
chasing committee with power to act.
His other recommendations for new
jack hammers and portion of the
snow removal equipment he contended
was badly needed were laid on the table
for later consideration. He suggested
that money for a part of the snow re-
moval equipment and new air COM
pressor be placed in the budget for
1941. All present equipment, he said,
was either worn or inadequate.
Fifty dollars of the SIS granted the
club had been given to the bowling
team which took part in the meet held
recently in Duluth and $25 went for
the cross country ski meet. Other items
in the extra $500 were: New films and
entertainment of visitors, each $50;
planting fish, telephone and express,
postage and supplies each $25; adver-
Using in magazines and newspapers,
S125, and Minnesota Arrowhead asso-
citation, 500.
All of these amounts were included
,, in last years budget, Hoefler pointed
out, but were trimmed out for this
year when the council "cut the appro-
priation about $4,000" He then out
lined in detail all items in the 1889
budget that had been eliminated or
reduced for 1910.
He pointed out that the $500 set up
for outdoor shows had been eliminated
entirely and that merchants and re-
sort owners had borne the entire ex-
pense of the shows at which the club
was represented this winter. Only $500
of the 81 400 spent for maps came from
city funds, he said, the rest being con-
tributed.
John N. Maxi made the motion that
the request be granted and was sup
ported in the roll call by Toimi Ahola
and Mayor Bern Lambert. The tie
vote defeated the motion. O. T. Frieds-
burg was absent.
Maxi suggested several times during
the discussion that members of the
council should attend meetings of the
club so that they would know what's
going on" They're trying to promote
business here" he said, land I think
the money is well spent"
The drum corps was granted it's reg
