Flaherty, Pres.; G.A. Bailey, Geo Cornelius, Wm Patenaude, Trustees; Wm H Greupner, Clerk. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. Morris Wilson came before the council asking for an appropriation of $50.00 to help maintain the camp grounds that he operates in the Village of Elk River. After some discussion it was decided to bring the matter before the Commercial Club to see if they would pay all or part of this amount. Chas Jungnickel, John Kramer, John Blocker, Geo Lewis, Gust Paulson, Geo Gonyea, Bob Shannon and A.L. Parker were present at this meeting as they had heard the Council had planned on passing a new ordinance regulating closing hours for selling 3.2 non intoxicating malt liquor. These men expressed their opinion and all wished to have the hours kept the same as they are at the present time. After a lengthy discussion, trustee Bailey presented the following ordinance to read as follows.
