Sewer collapse after heavy rain floods German Park area
A major storm drenched the city with 2.3 inches of rain in three hours. The main 24 inch sewer line in German Park fractured due to quicksand and earth movement, creating a 20 by 15 by 10 foot crater. Repairs by Cuddy & Cavanaugh involve driving piles and raising 125 feet of pipe, with work continuing into the week.

Promoter Writes Again on New Ulm Trolley Links
Mayor Charles Silverson received a brief letter from Edward W. Capen the Boston capitalist proposing trolley connections with nearby towns. Capen asks if the Minnesota river offers water power potential to feed an electric system. The mayor says there is no power at New Ulm but Redwood Falls could offer opportunities. Mankato electric road men visit reviving trolley talk with little local enthusiasm.
