On This Date in Minnesota History: April 7

April 7, 1920 – Property owners of Lake Minnetonka today began organizing a delegation to urge upon the State Board of Health at its meeting next Tuesday, the necessity of immediate action toward removal of a hog ranch on Superior Boulevard, said to be a public nuisance. At the January meeting, the complainants said, the board postponed definite action until its April session. Before the hot spell sets in, many property owners are anxious to obtain action that will eliminate obnoxious odors, said to come from the ranch and that make automobile travel to Minnetonka points unpleasant.
