Editor, Willmar Tribune: The valu able work in educating a people of any community for the common good is, without doubt, most strongly influ enced by local newspapers. I am sure, you and all property owners and also those who look forward for a more beautiful city will agree that without proper regulations by the pro per authorities, we are very apt toa spoil that which is already beautiful. The time has been ripe for a long time when this community should have a building regulation or ordinance which would govern the building op erations in the residence part of the city. If I built a home in Willmar within general lines created by those who have already built on the same street, it adds greatly to the beauty of the surrounding property and also gives a pleasant effect to the passer by. Suppose I was one of those who would not care for artistic effect or for the feeling of those who had al ready improved their property, what would happen? As far as I can see, the artistic effect of the street would be taken away. I am sorry to say that this is the case in numerous parts of the city. Let us have an ordinance, at once, which will keep parties from erecting buildings in such a manner Everythi $4.00 Ladies' Shoes, the famous Pingree or Patterson pro ducts, the peers of women's shoes, they come fi Good year welts or flexible hand turned, beautifully fitting, comfortable walking shoes, the leathers Patent Kid, Pat ent Colt, Willow Tan, Chocolate Tan, GunmeUt, Satin Velvet and White Nuback, a A A A large variety, closing out.. $ 0 $ 9 1 $3.50 Velvet tan calf gunmetal, in lace and button, closing out $3.00 values leather Patent Colt, Gunmetal, Velvet, Vici Kid, Suede and tan calf, they come in A%\ button and lace, closing out A 1 $2.75 Vici and Gunmetal mm Shoes .. .... $ Notice to the Public For the accomodation of men who work during the day we will keep our store open un til 8 P.

If, in already built-up sections, there are houses of about 3,500 type, and there should be a vacant lot In this same section, no person should be al lowed to build a cheap type of a house without the sanction of a majority of the residents within three blocks each way from the vacant lot. There Is ab solutely no limit to that which may beautify this city which will not cost cent. Through the columns of your paper, you can make for a better and more beautiful city and every resident of Willmar will do his best -,2? Tours truly, A. E.
