The committee believes the new pole will be in place for Old Glory to float from by Memorial Day.

This inspector was so pleased with the apparent pains taken to beautify the City of Willmar that he will rec- ommend to the Department that an ornamental hedge be placed on the east and south side of the government lot.

New Express Rates. The new and much heralded ex- press rates went into effect last Sun- day. The new rates will show a great reduction over the old rates and par- ticularly on the smaller packages.

The improvement committee report­ed on the progress of removing un­sightly trees. At this time of the year the committee can arrange for removing such trees for the wood they contain. Chairman Wellin said his committee would welcome requests for this kind of work to be done at this time.

The flagpole matter will finally come to a conclusion. The suit for the old pole which proved worthless, having been decided in favor of the Club, and no appeal being taken, the committee is free to go ahead. A pole will probably be devised that will fit over the stump of the old one, and thus obviate the necessity for remov­ing the foundation of concrete already put in. The committee believes the new pole will be in place for Old Glory to float from by Memorial Day.

Postmaster Alton Crosby reported regarding the visit of a federal build­ing inspector who was here last week.

Short talks were made by Revs. Parmeter and Todd, who were in at­tendance.

New Express Rates. The new and much heralded ex­
