Myers, Committee. A Menace to Health Our attention has been called to certain conditions existing in the neighborhood of the intake pipe for the village water supply at Hala lake. There are two or three barns located near-the lake, and around these the winter’s accumulation of manure is still piled up. The seep- age from these piles of filth go di- rectly into the lake, and as rains tion will not improve. The dan- ger of typhoid and other diseases from allowing the water supply to become thus contaminated is very and the offending matter should be ordered removed at once. Grand Rapids justly prides itself upon the purity of its water sup- ply and it should be the duty of every citizen to see that nothing of a questionable nature is allowe to come even near its source.

It is claimed by the police that the trio lived at the premises for three days during which time they looted the place at their convenience.

Much State Land Sold According to State Auditor Iver- son the state land sales thus far this season have been the best since the land law went into effect. The sales in the six counties of Itasca, Aitkin, St. Louis, Koochiching, Cass and Beltrami have totaled over 36,000 acres, from which the state will realize in the neighbor- hood of $325,000 which will be added to the state’s permanent trust fund. “I don’t recall when the sales have sctarted off so well,” said Mr. Iverson today. “The most gratify- ing feature is that they are made in small tracts. The average was less than 100 acres to the buyer.” Tri-County Road Plan If a movement having its incep- tion with prominent’ good roads and agricultural development en- thusiasts in Grand Rapids and oth- er Itasca county towns and Hibbing is carried to a successful conclu- sion, the matter of a state high- become more frequent the condi-|‘Way, constructed under the provi- sions of the Elwell law, to run be- tween Koochiching and Itasca and St. Louis counties from a point nea the north boundary of St. Louis and Itasca counties a distance of over sixty miles to connect with. the Goodlands judicial road, recent ly authorized, will shortly be taken up with the state highway com- mission, says the Hibbing Trib- The state highway -commission, according to information available here, will at its next meeting be asked for an appropriation of ap- proximately $400,000 for new high- ways in Itasca county, including the St. Vincent and International Falls roads and intersections.
