Tbere is little explanation required
as to' wbal is contemplated in the
$3000.00 bonding proposition for a
system of boulevard'.lighting for tbe
streets of the city which comes before the voters. Here is a brief outline of tbe facts: It is proposed to
install iron poles, ornamental in
design, on eacn side of tbe street,
eight of tbese in eacb block, four to
each side, beginning at First Street
on McEwan and extending nortb to
Wheaton Avenue. In addition it Is
proposed to extend tbis system east
ana west on Fourth and Fifth Streets
from McEwan and adjacent thereto
for a distance of not over 160 feet
Witb tbese spurs it will be convenient to add more lights as tbese
sections require tbem, subject to
tbe will of tbe people of tbe~ city in
regard thereto. Tbe citizens are all
aware tbat at tbe present time tbe
old system of street lighting is
demoralised owing to the recent
storm. Also it Is quite generally
known tbat tbe Ligbt Company and
Telepbone Company are working
witb a committee fro .to tbe Chamber
ot Commerce for tbe purpose of
establishing joint lines, using right-
of-ways to be secured from tbe private owners behind tbe buildings in
tbe business section. Tbis will make
a decided improvement to the appearance of our city eliminating tbe
unsightly poles tbat have here-to-
fore adorned our main streets. In
order to rebuild the old system of
lighting each corner will require two
poles to suspend the lamps from and
tbis is tbe very thing we ought to
strive to avoid. ~ Boulevard lights
will be supplied with current from
pome central point by underground
cable, a system once constructed
tbat will last a   life   time   and  more.
The city at this time bas only
$6000.00 in outstanding bonds wbicb
mature $2000.00 per year. The last
bond of tbis series being dne and
payable Marob 1st, 1925. Tbe proposed issue calls for $1000.00 to
mature Marob 1st, 1926, $2000.00,
March 1st, 1937 and $2000.00 Marob
1st, 1928. It will require a tbree-
nftbs majority vote to carry.
Now for tbe oost to tbe property
owners of the oity. r~ Figuring tbe
assessed valuation at $1,100,000.00
wbicb is slightly less tban tbe 1921
amount, tbe actual total oost of tbiB
bond issue, including all Interest
charges at six per cent to maturity,
will be approximately sixty cents
per thousand dollars valuation. " If
tbe assessed valuation increases tbo
cost per thousand will be less proportionately. ' Tbat means a bome
assessed for $2500.00 will be charged
the sum of $1.50 as its share in tbis
proposition, not for eacb year but in
its entirety. Tbis project is recommended to tbe earnest consideration
of all of tbe citizens in tbis oity. It
is a chance to secure permanent
betterments at an insignificant cost.
It is firmly believed to merit a goodly majority of affirmative votes on
Election Day.
At tbe same meeting a ten year
franchise was given tbe Central
Michigan Light and Power Oo.,
granting tbem tbe privilege of operating and maintaining- tbeir lines
within tbe olty limits.
Wbat promises to be the event of
the season, win be staged next Tuesday and Wednesday nlgfc.ts.at the
Doberty auditorium, In the form of
a big Western vtotoedy drama, "Tbe
Western Girl" or Boss of Z Ranch,

STATE OAT CROP SAID
7 TO NEED FERTILIZERS

Possible With Proper Soil :
Treatment, According .
7 '-  to M.   A.    C. , ^

■. ._ "■'■•/-
That much of MIobigan's one and
half million acre oat crop la tn
need of fertilisation this spring, and
tbat crop yields well above tbe state
average can be obtained If proper
soil conditions are brongbt about,
is the statement of Dr. M. M. Mc-
Cool, bead of tbe soils department
at tbe Michigan Agricultural College.
"Fertility tests we have conducted
with oats on widely different soils",
says Or. McOool In discussing tbe
question of fertilisation, ''bring out
the fact that tbe better soils for this
crop (tbe loams, tbe silt loams, and
tbe clay loams) are most responsive
to acid phosphate. If tbe straw
development is adequate or excessive,
it is a wasteful practice to apply a
mixedVfertiiiz?r for tbis crop.
"The acid phosphate should be'
added in amounts ranging from one
bundred and fifty to two hundred
and fifty pounds per sere. Tbe
larger applications sbould be sufficient for two years. I( tbe soil is
rather heavy, yet low in humus, and
tbe straw growtb not adequate,
about two bundred and fifty pounds
of a 2-12-0 fertiliser per acre sbould
be profitable.    -.."■■
'■Wbere ligbt soils tbat are in
pretty good condition are used for
Ebe production of this crop the addition of 2 12-2 fertilizer ranging in
amount from two bundred to two
hundred and fifty pounds may be
advisable. If tbe light soils are
somewbat worn and are to produce
oats for bay, nitrogen should be tbe
chief consideration. Nitrate of
soda may be used as a top dressing
In amounts ranging from sixty to
one hundred pounds per acre".
A storm on every lyeeum nigbt is
becoming a standipg joke. Tbe first
two numbers were accompanied by
raid, while Monday nigbt It was a
mere matter of a blizzard. Nevertheless it was necessary to open one
.of tbe side rooms to take care of tbe
crowd. "•■■'■'' ^-i''-*' -1i'.--*-.' ■..." .»:■".>■'<<'-■

Official Figures   Show  Ser-
y ious Situation Now Ex*
,; istinginthe Several ^;,'..
Townships.
Following we give a brief review
of the serious condition confronting
Olare oonnty In tbe matter of returned taxes, nndonbted caused by tbe
low prices paid for tbeir produce
and the inability to get money.
Taking as a whole there were twenty-five per cetot of tbe taxes returned
as delinquent but with leaving oat
of tbe two cities it will reach 29.8 per
cent. Last year 18 4 per cent were
returned. .'. 7
Tbe individual per ' cent of the
townships and cities are as follows;
Artbnr, 23.7; Franklin, 57.8; Freeman, 43 7; Frost; 43.9; Garfield, 26.8;
Grant, 15.4; Greenwood, 18.1; Hamilton, 40.2; Hatton, 35 7; Hayes, 32.5;
Lincoln, 48.9; Redding, 6A.3; Sheridan, 18.8; Summerfield, 67.2; Surrey,
21.2; Winterfield, 47.1; Olare, 01.5;
Harrison, 10.9.
The actual average of tbese percentages for tbe sixteen townships
is 37.2 per cent, but as tbe townships
baving the larger tax paid a larger
proportion of theirs, tbe percentage
based on tbe wbole amount returned does not make tbe situation look
as serions as it really Is.
