The bill was given its first reading. The bill does not specify which streets of the city shall be paved, other than that they shall be in the business district, the favored streets to be selected by the council at a later date. Representatives of various contracting and pavement block companies were heard by the council.

The contention of the writer is that more profit should accrue to the grower of live stock wnd livestock products in Minne- sota than' will be obtained by the grower in:the most favored regions of the corn belt. It would seem entirely correct to say that northern Minnesota, with its millions and millions of acres of cut over lands, -is more favorably situated for dairy production than Holland; more favorably situated meat it will grow as many rutabagas and far more clover than Aberdeen- shire, which has grown the finest meat in the world. For the production of pork it can grow barley as readily as Denmark, and clover and field peas more readily. And in the growth of all of these it leads the corn belt. The chief advantage which the corn belt has is in corn grown for the grain, but it has no advantage in corn grown for fodder. - The farmers of northern Minne- sota can produce milk, beef and pork more cheaply than these can be grown in the corn belt.
