Had Been a Resident of Clare

CITY TO INSTALL
WATER METERS
lansikg y. ft c. A. boys ROAD LEVELER
HAVING BIG TIME
Council Purchases Five
Hundred Meters at Regular Meeting Monday'
Night.
The City Council at their regular
meeting Monday evening voted to
purchase 500 water meters, and a
meter is to be installed with each
service before May flrst, when the
dew System will become effective
throughout.the city.
This installation is deemed necessary because of the apparent abuse
of the flat rate privileges and the
great waste of water, which increases
the strain on the machinery at the
pumping station and the cost of
power and n-aintainailce.
There has never been any shortage
of water at the plant and each pump
has a capacity of 21,000 gallons per
hour, making a total capacity for both
pumps of a trifle over one' million
gallons for each twenty-four hours, or
enough water for a city live times
the size of Clare, ancl yet there are
times when both pumps cannot maintain the pressure.
Too much water is being wasted by
reason of leaky taps and plumbing
fixtures, and hydrants which are
turned on. throughout the day and
night, and with a meter attached to
each service, the consumer will pay
for the water which is used or wasted.
It is the opinion of experts and has
also been proven by experience in
other cities, that the meter system
reduces the cost to the taxpayers and
ultimately reduces the minimuii
water rate.

ROBINETT REUNION.
The thirteenth annual Robinett reunion will be held in Alwood's Grove,

That Conservation and the authority of the officers of the Conservation department is a real thing in the
mind of at least one visitor to Clare
County, was demonstrated at a late
hour Saturday evening, when deputy
Game Warden Eugene Pettit was called out of bed by a stranger, who
wished to report the killing of a
blow snake at Bertha Lake, about
seventeen miles from Clare.
He had the snake in the automobile and offered to give it to the officer as proof of his honesty in reporting the killing, but Mr, Pettit
declined to receive it. The man had
evidently been indulging in some sort
of liquid refreshment, but he,told the
officer that ho wanted to do right and
be on the sate side of the law.
With shoulders, arms and necks,
red with sunburn or tanned to a dark
brown, the sixty-one boys and ten
leaders, who now* comprise the population of the Lansing Y. M. C. A.
camp at Mystic Lake near Lake, are
having the time of their young lives.
The camp is in charge of W. O.
Joachim and W. F. Moessner, bpys
work secretaries of the Lansing Y. M.
C. A. and these men understand the
lads and are providing wholesome
recreation under supervision, ancl
training and teaching them woodcraft
and camping.
These campers have enormous appetites and are ready to rush the
great log mess hall when the dinner
bell rings. The mail is given out at
meal time and blushes often come to
tne face of a leader when the postal
card received from his sweetheart 'is
real aloud to the eampei*s.
There are no cases of homesickness
or illness in the camp, and most of
the boys are regretting the fact that
this first section is to close next Sunday. At that -time another group of
seventy-five boys are to come to the
camp for a stay of two weeks.
Several good catches of fish have
been reported and one lad landed a
2S 1-2 inch pike. Visitors are given
a royal welcome and a splendid way
to win the hearts of those city boys ii*
to appear at camp witn some kind of
a special treat for tliem.

Former Clare Resident
Died in California July 15.
Will be Remembered
by Early! Friends.
The following article was sent us
by Mrs. R. Bauder, now in Cambridge
Springs, Pa., announcing the death of
Elmo Goodenow, a former Clare resident, and who will be remembered
by his friends here:
Areata, July 15.—Elmo Goodenow
passed away about 4 a. m. today at
the family residence.
Goodenow was born March 26,
1S76, at Flint, Michigan. He worked
for many years in the Buick factory
in that city, moving with his family
to Seattle, Washington, in 1320."
About two years ago the family
moved to Areata, where they have
since made their home.
Pie was a member of the Port
Angeles Lodge of Odd Fellows and
the Areata Aerie of the Fraternal
Order of Eagles.
He leaves his wife, Maud Good*
enow, and daughter, Mildred, of Areata, one brother, Charles Goodenow,
of Clare, Michigan, and three sisters,
Mrs. Allie Bauder, of Clare, Michigan;
Mrs. H. F. Badgley and Mrs. Mamie
Womar, of Lansing, Michigan, and
Mrs. Celia W. Johnson, of Boston,
Mass.
The funeral will be held Sunday at
1:30 p, in, from the Native Song hall,
under the auspices of the F. O. B.
Rev. Charles P. Hessel officiating.
A rpad leveling machine, which was j
built by the Clare Road "Levci-r j
Works, is bejng used • on U. S. 10 j
through Clare .county by George Haring, patrolman for this section of the
trunk line highway, and excellent results are being obtained.
The machine consists of a steel
frame on which are two sets of three
blades placed opposite to each other
at an angle of 45 degrees, and the entire frame attached to the under part
of the Fordson road machine.
The blades are long enough to carry
the gravel back so that the opposite
blade catches ,it and all of the loose
road material in this way is carried
zig-zag across the road, thus Ailing all
of the holes and preventing the
blades from dropping into rough
spots and gouging the road as one
blade machines sometimes do.
The entire machine operates on the
gravel road in the same manner of a
rasp on a piece of steel, and at the
rr-.-r is a single blade which does no
rutting, but simply levels whatever
loose gravel is not, smoothed by the
other blades.
Mr. John Northon, manager of the
company, has made no announcement
of qur.ntity production of these machines, but he has made some blades
With cutting teeth which are designed to be used in place of the gravel
blades when ice aud snow is to be removed.
Road men aud highway engineers
are taking considerable interest in
the machine and several have come to
Clare to inspect it and the road on
which it is being used.

Seventy-fiye Pound Rails Being
Replaced by Eighty-five Between Clare and Farwell,
The seventy-five pound steel on the
Ann Arbor railroad between Clare
aud Farwell is being replaced by rails
which weigh eigthy-flve pounds to the
yard.
. An extra crew of laborers are employed fn doing this work and it is reported that after the heavier rails
are laid, the old ties are to be replaced by new ones, and additional
ballast is to be used to make a firmer,
road bed.
This railroad is now owned ancl
controlled by the Wabash railroad
company and the heavy freights
handled over this section of the road
makes- this improvement necessary.

ancl have become very proficient,
hence their scores were low enough
to warrant the note of pride which
was evident in their voice and manner as they announced them to the
rest of the party.
However, the prominent distinguished manufacturer and judge, and
the member of the county road commission, who had never before played
golf, acquitted themselves in a very
creditable manner and after a few
more practice games will no doubt be
able to take the honors from the
aforesaid near professionals.
It was reported that these two
gentlemen are soon to take a course
in golf, not for the purpose of lowering th scores, but to break themselves
of the habit of talking to the ball and
clubs when things seem to go wrong.
The Windover course is a very
beautiful one, ami excellent meals at
reasonable i*ates are being served at
the club house this season.

CITY TO INSTALL WATER METERS lansikg y. ft c. A. boys ROAD LEVELER HAVING BIG TIME Council Purchases Five Hundred Meters at Regular Meeting Monday' Night. The City Council at their regular meeting Monday evening voted to purchase 500 water meters, and a meter is to be installed with each service before May flrst, when the dew System will become effective throughout.the city. This installation is deemed necessary because of the apparent abuse of the flat rate privileges and the great waste of water, which increases the strain on the machinery at the pumping station and the cost of power and n-aintainailce. There has never been any shortage of water at the plant and each pump has a capacity of 21,000 gallons per hour, making a total capacity for both pumps of a trifle over one' million gallons for each twenty-four hours, or enough water for a city live times the size of Clare, ancl yet there are times when both pumps cannot maintain the pressure. Too much water is being wasted by reason of leaky taps and plumbing fixtures, and hydrants which are turned on. throughout the day and night, and with a meter attached to each service, the consumer will pay for the water which is used or wasted. It is the opinion of experts and has also been proven by experience in other cities, that the meter system reduces the cost to the taxpayers and ultimately reduces the minimuii water rate.

Newman, Sec, Mayo Robinett, Pres, Milo Robinett, Tj*eas. That Conservation and the authority of the officers of the Conservation department is a real thing in the mind of at least one visitor to Clare County, was demonstrated at a late hour Saturday evening, when deputy Game Warden Eugene Pettit was called out of bed by a stranger, who wished to report the killing of a blow snake at Bertha Lake, about seventeen miles from Clare. He had the snake in the automobile and offered to give it to the officer as proof of his honesty in reporting the killing, but Mr, Pettit declined to receive it. The man had evidently been indulging in some sort of liquid refreshment, but he,told the officer that ho wanted to do right and be on the sate side of the law.

At that -time another group of seventy-five boys are to come to the camp for a stay of two weeks. Several good catches of fish have been reported and one lad landed a 2S 1-2 inch pike.

S. 10 j through Clare .county by George Haring, patrolman for this section of the trunk line highway, and excellent results are being obtained. The machine consists of a steel frame on which are two sets of three blades placed opposite to each other at an angle of 45 degrees, and the entire frame attached to the under part of the Fordson road machine. The blades are long enough to carry the gravel back so that the opposite blade catches ,it and all of the loose road material in this way is carried zig-zag across the road, thus Ailing all of the holes and preventing the blades from dropping into rough spots and gouging the road as one blade machines sometimes do. The entire machine operates on the gravel road in the same manner of a rasp on a piece of steel, and at the rr-.-r is a single blade which does no rutting, but simply levels whatever loose gravel is not, smoothed by the other blades. Mr. John Northon, manager of the company, has made no announcement of qur.ntity production of these machines, but he has made some blades With cutting teeth which are designed to be used in place of the gravel blades when ice aud snow is to be removed. Road men aud highway engineers are taking considerable interest in the machine and several have come to Clare to inspect it and the road on which it is being used. Used for Recreational Purposes.
