In the near future a day will be set
on which the public will be invited to
inspect the pew school huilding, and
right here we wish to urge that every
taxpayer take advantage of this opportunity and see for himself what he
is paying for. For a town the size of
Clare, there isn't a better building in
the state, and to see" it will banish
anv "kick" that may be pent-up.
SuptI Philip A. Bennett and principal Miss Mable A. Currier have been
unanimously re-elected to their respective positions in the city schools for
the ensuing year. This is Mr. Bennett's third year here, and he certainly has reason to feel justly proud,
that through the discouraging siege
brought upon the schools by tue burning of the school building and the
long Intermission caused, by the small
pox scare, he has so skilfully managed
school affairs as to be re-elected by the
unanimous vote of the board, and so
far as jye are able to learn the action
of the board in his retention is substantiated by the entire district. The
healthy spirit now manifestecfon the
part of the pupils under" his immediate instruction, and the sentiment of
the pupils generally, is due largely to
his efforts, assisted by his. able corps
of teachers. With the occupation -of
the new building we believe tne pupils will take new courage and in a
short time the schools will be in the
best condition they have ever been,
The Courier scribe last week was
taken with one of his spasmodic fits,
this time the bicycle ordinance being
the cause. He says the ordinance is a
failure. Now, Ray, while there is
some truth in what you say regarding
this matter, tbe ordinance is all right,
but you failed to say that the council
have not enforced it. The bicycle is
just as much a necessary yehicle as
the wagon, and it would" be utterly
foolish for a body of reasonable aldermen to prohibit the use of the wagon.
With streets almost impassable for
the wheelman, to forbid him the use
of the walks when tbey are not io use
by pedestrians, would be just as unreasonable as to legislate against the
use of wagons. We believe in repealing every law that is not enforced.
Let it be known tbat two or three
people have paid tines for the violation
of this ordinance and we venture to
say that wheelmen will either dismount or leave the walk when passing
people walking. Before repealing a
law, try to enforce it. To our knowledge not one arrest bas beea made for
violation of this recent law relative to
wheelmen. If this law cannot be enforced, onepiohibiting wheelmen from
the use of walks altogether, cannot be
enforced.
MORE FIRES.
Clare's Fire Bepartment a Very
Prominent Body These Days,
Monday night about one o'clock the
flre alarm sounded, when a .fire was
discovered in a pile of cedar posts near
Gorr's mill. As the flre had gained
little headway, it was at once extinguished by the usual prompt response
of our fire department. The flre
doubtless originated, as did the one in
nearly the same place the day before,
from sparks from a passing locomotive.
" But the firemen had scarcely put
away the hose carts when the alarm
was again turned in. This time fire
was discoyered back of J. F. Tatman's
store in the same place where the fire
was apparently set only a short time
ago. Wm. Sines, who suddenly died
yesterday, claimed to have seen a man
set tbe fire, and we understand took
an affidavit to that effect about an
hour before his death, and it was he
who gave the alarm. Officers are now
working on the clues and an arrest
may follow. Xt seems almost certain
that these last three or four fires were
maliciously or otherwise set and the
public sentiment is so strong, that, if
.anyone is found guilty', he will get the
full extent of the law.
