That address of Mayor Johnson to the council Monday night, when the new aldermen took their seats, was one that ‘contained a resume of his administration the past year, and suggestions of what he believes wou}d be highly beneficial for .the coming fiscal year. Y He strongly complimented the securing of an ample water supply for the community; he also complimented the action taken on remodelling the old decrepit city building into a mod- _ern and attractive show place, headquarters for the Bemidji . Civic association and rest room for the farmers, modern fqr:fi;ll .city departments, headquarters for the Bemidji band, hged- quarters for the county nurse, modern equipment for all visitors _and the public in general. o 5 He also called attention to the large ‘amount .of' cox_wrete walks and curbs laid during the past year, in anticipation of the paving to be done this year, with more walks and curbing yet to go inm, already planned .in blueprints, when the early Winter checked the progress. He further mentioned other im-|t provements of a public nature.and forecast arother progressive year in the city. . : : : ", He heartily favors a soldiers’ memorial; he favors the lake shore park as the site, with a combination memorial and a . fountain for drinking purpases for visitors to the city. o “:. Owing to the drowning mishaps near Diamond Point, he suggests that a life guard be stationed there, and suggests, : 1 i Nick: Umhauer to Mathi: Um- ;. The mayor invited the ceo-operation of the council and : - % e AR TR o .every person in Bemidji. He asked the public not to stgild on .ceremony’ but make the affairs of the city their affairs for hetterment; remembering that the mayor and aldermen do not xeceive one cent for giving their services for the advancemnt of: the city in every detail. fe iy #all ‘of ~exeitement and. action ' and love and all the things that make pic-i tures interesting.: “And it's a Para- | mount-Arteraft. & ‘Enid Bennett plays Mary Moreland in her new:Paramount-Artcraft pic- ture, “The Woman in the Suitcase,” a Thomas, H.
