Special June 8 Bond Election for New City Power Plant
A special election is set for June 8 in New Ulm to vote on a 250000 bond issue for a proposed municipal power plant. City officials tout thorough study and argue the new plant would be more efficient and long lasting than upgrading the old one.

Unusual washouts delay the Chicago Black Hills and Yellowstone Park Highway Association meeting planned for June 10–11 at Pierre South Dakota.
