RETIRES AFTER 47 YEARS OF SERVICE:
On Monday, December 24, John P. Hilger, after 47 years of service with the Chicago and Milwaukee railroad, retired from active duty. At the time of his retirement, he was the engineer on the switch engine in the local yards.
He started with the Milwaukee in March, 1898, employed on the track department and was a resident of Mazeppa at the time. The Hilger’s went to Wabasha in the year of 190? and at that time Mr. Hilger worked for a few months in the roundhouse there.

Looking Ahead:

The year of our Lord, 1946, promises to be a good one for Mazeppa. The Council has called for bids for installation of street lighting in the business section. The improvement has been needed badly, and the village is to be recommended for instituting this program as soon as possible after the “lights came on again all over the world.”

MAZEPPA ELECTION ILLEGAL, ATTORNEY JOURNAL RULES
St. Paul- a village election held in Mazeppa in December, 1945 was declared invalid today by Attorney General Burnquist.
The attorney general advised Alfred A. Burkhardt of Plainview, Mazeppa village attorney, that there was no authority for holding an election to select a treasurer.
In December, 1944, the elected treasurer refused to qualify so the council appointed a treasurer “to serve until the next election.”
Burnquist held that the treasurer appointed in 1944 should have remained in office for the balance of a two-year term, expiring in December, 1946.

Captain Vincent Ring and Miss Ethelyn Schoolmeesters of Litchfield were married Jan. 3 at Forest City.
