COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS - —————— e ——————————————— — THE PARK BOARD STATEMENT ‘Who ever heard of a department of 'the city govem-men':; spending only two-thirds of the money given them to spend? Does such a department exist in Bemld_.]_l'.'. _It sure does, bl!t‘ we will gamble thére are very few Bemidji citizens who know it | outside of the members of that particular .de_partment. We would almost be dafe in offering free subscnpno"ns to the Pio- meer to all who would tell us “right off the reel” to whom wei refer. ! o ‘ It’s the Park Board. There is criticism even of the ac-| tions of this body; too, we understand. - Sure, there would be.| If they did not spend all of the money they had to spend they would be tightwads and if they spent more thanthey were ql- lotted they would be spendthrifts—and there you are, disatis- fied whatever is done. . i ment of the receipts and disbursements of this board.

Given has given splendid service on this board and should by all means by re-elected. Another member is to be chosen for the one-year term. A. O. A}u‘e of the fourth ward is a candidate for election to the board. 1t is reported that the women will have a candidate,in thg field. The women, through their Community club, last year, evi- denced much interest in the plan for beautifying the cnty. They have many splendid ideas which will be valuable. With the available material we should have a splendid Board and:should continue the activities already planned by the board. . 0— i PERIL OF GRADE CROSSINGS e ¢ One more fatality has been added to thie list of grade tross- ing tragedies. ‘The death of the son of George Hebard, while apparently purely accidental, could scarcely be said to have been unpreventable. In' the first place, there should be no A ,grade trossings in a city and especially on the main streets of a city. In the second place, when there are grade crossipgs, they should by all means be protected by gates when there is any movement of trains on the tracks. In-the third place, when there are not gates there should be a watchman placed at the crossings. Many narrow escapes from injury and possible death have taken place on the grade crossings of the tracks in Bemidji. ' On the Great Northern railway tracks there have been watchmen stationed at the foot of Minnesota avenue. Even| with this preventative there have been almost miraculous es- capes from accidents and at the tracks further up town, where the Soo Line crosses Minnesota avenue, there is greater nged A\ for watchmen even than at the Great Northern tracks. g We would suggest that this might be a good thing for the| Civic and Commerce Association to take up with the manage-| ment of the Soo Line ®ailroad and endeavor to have at least/a| watchman stationed at this crossing if it is‘noti possible to se;| cure gates. The traffic on 16wer Minnesota avenue is pearly be: coming much heavier and before other fatal accidents occur pre-| - BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER = - || €Nheir rehesrsal on Friday {7 METHODIST EPTSCOPAL . * In another page in The Pioneer today is a financial state-| ent all the money allotted them in any year.!~ paid over five thousand dolfars for the Ralph Gracie park: The: wegian language, In the evening at | figures in the statement do not show such.

At the same time James Watt, a Scotchman, was dis- covering ‘and developing steam power and the steam ‘engine. The Power or force produced by his steam engine and by electric force were compared and his last name ‘therefore is used as an elec- trical term, “Watt,” which — S r————— et mp———am e i G Watt.

Watts are’- measurable units of power or- energy, Jjust. as “foot-pounds” are a measure of power, or energy. One horsepower equals 746 | watts, or 33,000 foot-pounds per, minute.

' Every project that is broached for the betterment of community conditions, elicits from him no! s more than a grunt of dissent, if not active opposition. He re-' ;. gards every man as a rascal until proven honest, He can see no| sincerity in the most unselfish actions, and can detect cupidity| ‘3t the bottom of the greatest sacrifices. He is a community| wet blanket. Is it you? : his community. Every proposition”for community betterment" previded it has merit and feasibility, not only has his approval,}’ but he at once pulls off his coat and becomes one of .its most ‘active rooters.. It takes a heavy jolt to convince him of the in-| © sincerity or dishonesty of his neighbors and even then he has more pity than blame for them. He is as grateful fire on a raw day, and restores our confidence as the spring sunshine after a dreary winter. lsitiyou?
