The smallpox scare in
Crosby and on the Range has
been giving the local doctors
much concern the past week.
Several new cases were
reported the first of the week
but very little spread is
expected from this time on.
Thursday night the High
School closed, but opened
again Monday morning when
the pupils were vaccinated.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday
the local doctors were kept
exceedingly busy applying
the vaccine to the pupils. For
the present no further spread
of the disease is expected.
L. O. Piette, operator at

pumping station, which
caused some delay in the village water supply.
The first of the Soldier’s
Bonus warrants were sent out
on Wednesday of this week,

By a 3-2 vote last
September, the Minnesota
Public Utilities Commission
ordered Enbridge to consider
six alternate routes that would
avoid many sensitive lakes,
wetlands and aquifers.
Enbridge contends the
project is needed to bring
growing supplies of North
Dakota crude oil to refineries,
but their preferred route for
the pipeline has run into opposition from state officials and
citizen groups.
A
Comparison
of
Environmental Effects of
Reasonable Alternatives for
the project was completed and
released in December, 2014
suit against the Public Utilities
Commission in Ramsey
County Court seeking a thorough environmental review of
the pipeline, including a full
Environmental
Impact
Statement.
An administrative law
judge is expected to issue a
report in April with a recommendation to the Public
Utilities Commission.
