Miss Mary Lambert will be the
featured vocal soloist with the Ely
municipal band for the concert at
Whiteside Park, Friday evening In
addition to Miss Lambert's offerings,
the band has prepared one of it's ex-
cellent programs.
Mrs. Violet Lassey was the featured
soloist at last Fridays concert and
her renditions were received with
pleasure and rapturous applause.
Mrs. Lassey sang, "My Hero" kiss
Me Again" and "Amapola." Also
featured were piccolo duets by band
members Edward Shepel and Arthur
Nyman.
The season of summer concerts at
the park will close with the concert
next week. The attendance has been
growing weekly especially during the
tourist season when a great number
of those at nearby summer resorts
avail themselves of the opportunity to
hear Ely's recognized Al organiza-
ton.
The large attendance weekly again
brings out the fact that Ely needs a
band shell and seating capacity at the
park The city council recognizes this
fact and expect to provide these facil-
tiles as soon as arrangements can be
completed for the installation.

5000 Month Must be Topped
Off Over Expenditures
During July.

The city of Ely for the last five
months of the year will have to cut
current expenses nearly $4,000 pei
month over the amount expended dur
ing July Clerk A. o. Knutson told the
council at its Tuesday evening meet
ing.
July's total expenditures were $780,
902.O4. They topped June's expendi-
lures of $29,394.51 by more than $500
The city has an average of $21, LAC
available for current expenses for the
last five months of the year, Knutsor
said. Current expenses, which do not
include fixed charges, for July were
$27, 1O432.
Reasons for the increased cost OF
operating the city during the last
month were the purchase of consid-
cradle equipment and supplies, includ-
ing new motorcycle and two cars OF
cement, and the fact that a sewer
crew, in order to complete west end
project as rapidly as possible, worked
full time.
Business transacted by the council
included naming an acting health
officer, reappointing the present jury
panel for the next four months, grant,
ing the Commercial club its final al
lotment of $500, and laying on the
table for further consideration the re-
quest for pay increases by linemen and
hydrantmen.
Linemen, now paid $40 monthly,
who asked for increases were Matt
Martin, George Muhvich, and John
Markovich. Hydrantmen, asking for
an increase in pay or more time, are
William LepiSto, Martin Fink, Martin
Grahek, ST., Jack Varoga, and George
Barich. They receive SIS daily, on a
part-time basis.
Dr. H N. Sutherland was named act
ing health officer in the absence from
the city of DR.. Owen w. Parker, who
is ILL.,
City Engineer Waino Somero asked
the council to select additional NYA
projects, and to give preference to a
long list of WPA projects. Plans will
be drawn for permanent warming
houses at the Lincoln and Whiteside
park skating Kinks, to be built by NYA
labor.
Somero suggested that because of
the rapid growth of the east end of
the city, part of which is unsewered,
that sanitary sewers be laid through a
WPA project.
If outside toilets and septic tanks
are used, Somero warned that a dan
gerous condition to health may be
created.

ing the best parade marching unit.

On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

We attended the funeral of our old
friend and co-worker, Walter B. Brown,
Sr., at Chisholm Saturday and must
say that we could attend the funeral
of some people we know with less
regret than we felt standing beside
the still form of Walter. He was pub
Usher of the Chisholm Tribune Herald
since 1916 and while he said things
in his paper with which We failed to
agree, we nevertheless valued his
friendship most highly and considered
him a first class newspaper man. That
he was highly esteemed by his fellow
citizens in all walks of life was mani
fest at the last rites when the 'recrea-
ton auditorium was filled with friends
and citizens of Chisholm and from all
parts of the county gathered to pay
their last respects to one whom they
esteemed. Chisholm loses a valiant
worker for the city and its people in
the passing of Walter B. Brown.

City Expenditures Must be
Trimmed for Rest of Year

review tonight, and it is likely that it
will go over the list of permanent i'm
provement requests that have been as
signed to future WPA projects, and
select those of the most Importance
A request was read from O. Sarki-
patio and Mary Sarkipato asking per-
mission to close the road running
through thier property on Shagawa
lake. City Attorney Peter Moscatelli
and Somero are investigating the sit
uation and will report at the next
meeting.
The U. S. forest service, asking for
prices on sand from the city's pit and
gravel and dirt for fill to be used in
the construction of its Shagawa lake
seaplane base, was given the right to
obtain the materials at the rate of
10 cents per cubic yard for selected
gravel and 5 cents for rough fill.
The postoffice department was
granted permission to erect letter boxes
at the corner of First Avenue east and
Pattison street and the corner of Fifth
avenue east and Pattison.
A burial plot of 16 lots was set

The request of Attorney D. A. Bour-
gin, Virginia, to meet with the council
to discuss giving work to Joseph 70

sented, was rejected by laying the re-
quest on the table. zobitz, Bourgin
said, had substantial amount" COM
ing from an injury sustained in Febru-
airy, 1910, while working for the city.
Last year the state industrial COM
mission, after reviewing Zobitz's COM
plant, allowed him $500: This amount
was first made available to zobitz on
Jana.4 of this year, but to date he has
refused to accept settlement by fall
ing to collect the money.
Moscatelli told the council that the
commission had already made settle
ment of the case; so no further action
was necessary.
A strip of privately owned property
Is feet wide will be purchased, or
condemned if necessary, to provide a
connecting street between James and
Pattison streets in the east end. The
acquisition of the property will settle
a problem of long standing whereby
the city will be able to secure a right
of-way for sewer and light lines to be
constructed in this part of the city.
