RETARY REPORTS ON
PROGRESS, FINANCES

Rec. Godfrey O'Sullivan was
reelected a director of the Red
wood Falls Recreation association
at the annual stockholders meet
ing in the city hall Tuesday night.
The organization sponsors Men,
orial Field development.
Two-hundred two shares of
stock in the association were re-
presented by vote or proxy. There
are 372 shares in the group.
Now underway is a WPA pro-
ject extending sanitary sewers to
the back of the Field stadium
where lavatories may be INSTALL
ed.
Association receipts for 1899
were $2,352.82, Reede Gray, trea-
surer, reported. The money came
from the sale of stadium tickets
and the high school athletic fund
and included refunds for gas tax
eS paid on fuel used in cement
mixers and granite drills in con-
struction work at the field.
Disbursements of $2,352.54 left
a balance of l8 cents. Money was
paid out for gravel, cement, steel
and lumber used in the stadium
and baseball amphitheatre.
Directors whose terms hold
over are Richard Cook, DR.. J..
Gordon Cole and J. L. Parsons,
elected, and DR.. J. c. Budik and

Expenses of the county truck
for delivering commodities are
not charged against the home.
Mr.. Johns reported that in
1880, the year before he came to
the home, there were an average
Of II inmates maintained at a cost
Of S36.74 each. Dividing the
average monthly cost of the
home, $404.19, by the II inmates
and the caretakerS who are pro-
vided with board and room, light
and heat, he arrived at a per cap
tia cost of $28.87 for all persons
living there that year.
In 1888 when 80 inmates en-
tered and there were an average
of 24.12 housed there, they were
cared for at an average cost OF
$22.99. With the four workers, per
capita costs at the home were re-
duced to $16.14, he said.
Persons favoring closing the
home have commended throughout
the controversy that since home
employees are not county charges,
it is highly unfair to include them
with the inmates in figuring per
capita cost of operation of the
home.
In 1888, the county financial
statement listed home expenses at
S10,593.23, but this included pay
ing off a martgage OF $1,000. With

., Taking of the business and
manufacturers census, now in its
third week, is progressing rapid
ly, according to Thomas A. keg-
nler, supervisor of the census for
this district, whose offices are in
Redwood Falls High school build
ing.
Both Arthur Corcoran of Red
wood Falls and Oscar Waibel of
Lamberton, business census emu
merators for Redwood county,
have nearly completed one OF
their enumeration districts. Mr..
Corcoran, who began work in
, Redwood Falls Will start with
other county towns in mis- district
sometime this week.
A special enumeration will later
survey newspapers, certain types
of chain stores and other estab-
liShmentS not included in the re-
tail and Wholesale survey.
The schedules on which the
business census is obtained have
more inquiries than those in the
past, Mr.. Regnier said.
The 1910 census, for instance,
contains inquiries concerning con-
sumner credit" Mr.. Regnier said.
Consumer credit is the life blood
of business, and clot in it may
easily lead to business paralysis.
Never before has there been a
complete analysis of the subject.
This time we are asking retailers
Tor the amount OF their outStand-
ing accounts and notes receivable.
We are also asking wholesalers
for the amount of debt owed by
retail consumers Gas distinguished
from trade cuStomerS).
The new schedules also con-
tain the question, Date of acquisi-
ton or establishment in this city
under present ownership, MI.
kegnier said. modifying this
question is another, Date of ORR
gInal establishment of business in
! TINS city, By relating these two
questions, we can establish clear
how many new businesses were
established since the 1885 census,
and how many businesses which
are under new ownership since
1885 represent merely an acquisi-
tfon of existing business.
we shall not have the story of
mortality because we shall not
know how many businesses came
into existence and sank without
trace in the period between 1885
and 1910. But we shall have
significant data on changes in
ownership and a true record of
the number of 1885 businesses
which have completely disappear
ed.
"This added,information on age
and stability of ownership in re-
failing" Mr.. Regner said, should
arouse considerable interest
among retailers and businessmen
in general"

Jean Tucker, executive secretary
of the county welfare board, and
County Attorney Tom Reed, he
figured the value of commodities
distribution work by himself and
the two to five home inmates who
generally assisted him at S1,273-
81. This and a credit of $161 sc
income from an inmates farm
and another $50 funeral expense
which should not have been put
on the homes account, made a
balance of $6,017.70. With an
average of 1888 inmates and four
workers, the per capita cost was
$24, Johns said.
Although the financial state
ment for 1889 is not out yet, he
believes the per capita cost will
be about $26 on this basis.
There are now 81 home inmates,
including seven children who
have been there since December
18.
One man, 70, is in fair health;
a woman, IA, has a heart ailment;

the county home is too expensive
for what we are getting out of it.

I don't blame Wells a bit for his
