SOUTHERN COUNTIES

OVER ROAD QUESTION
Are Asking Slate Aid to Save
Communities From Bankruptcy
(By Miles IvI. Callaghan)
The recent conference called by
Governor Brucker to consider the
plight of certain Counties in the
State of Michigan who have become
sp engulfed and mired in taxes owing
to the operation of the so-called Covert Road Law, has aroused a lot of in-
tere'st in this matter and I have been
asked so many questions in reference
to it, that I feel it is of such public
interest, that a statement regarding
this law and its operation would be
of interest to your readers.
At .the session of the Michigan
Legislature in 1915, a law was enacted and given the name "Covert Roa"d
Law", and the intent of the act is as
follows:
Section 1. This act is intended to
provide an additional method for
constructing and improving public
highways, and to be in force where
apportion of the cost of constructing
or improving highways is paid by
special assessment upon lands benefitted thereby.
This law became operative in
September, 1915, these were boom
times, during the World War, and
few people paid much attention to
costs or the consequences of getting
into debt, and this act together with
the County drain laws in force at that
time was certainly meat for land
speculators, lot development" projects,
real estate operators and other unsound and speculative projects and as
a result, these Counties now find
themselves so hopelessly involved in
bonded indebtness that they are faced with absolute bankruptcy, and now
are crying to the State of Michigan
for help, and are presenting1 many
scheme's hoping that it will help them
out of their present tax difficulties,
and as an example, I am told that at
the hearing one man owning 40 acres
of land in Oakland county, in the
vicinity of Pontiac claims his tax under this Covert; Road Law bond issue
is more than $20,000.00 and this is
Only one ot literally hundreds of
cases that have; been brought to the
attention of the Committee investigating this matter and it is said that
there are 13 Counties in the State
that are the victims of their own folly
and extravagence, but it is also said
that only three Counties are so deeply involved that their case seems to
be hopeless, unless some relief is offered  to  them.
This so-called Covert   Road    Law
provided originally (the law,.has ..now'
(Continued on Pago Ten)
The body of Mrs, Myrtle McFar-
lane aged 49 years, was found lifeless at the rear door of her home
known as the D. McGoogan farm
about three miles north, west of Far-
well on TJ. S, 10 Sunday afternoon by
three hunters.- A 22 caliber rifle lay
across her feet and a bullet wound
in her temple.
The men reported the case at Far-
well and Deputy Sheriff' Crouse, ot
Clare, and Dr. G. E. .Lamb, coroner
at Farwell, held an inquest and determined it as suicide. Thurston and
Son, of this city, who are caring for
Albert Miller's duties during his absence from the village, were called
to take charge of the body.
The daughter, Mrs. Chas. Molby
and husband, of Alma, were notified
and at once took immediate charge.
They had spent New Year day with
her' mother and this proved a great
■shock to them.
Upon receiving the message the
husband, Frank McFarlane, of Pontiac, and daughter, Mrs. Edward Sherman, of Drayton Plains, came to Far-
well, and funeral arrangements are
being withheld awaiting the arrival
of the soil, Lloyd, of Arkansas, who
left buj; recently for that state, leaving his mother alone on the farm.
It is believed that unfavorable
financial conditions prompted Mrs.
McFarlane to take her life as the
mortgage was recently foreclosed on
the farm and being' alone undoubted
ly brooded over her troubles in which
there seemed no bright glow ahead
for her.

Mrs. E. C. Van Conant Receives
Message of Death of Mrs.

On January 2nd, Mrs. E. C. Van-
Conant of Vernon received the sad
news of the death of her niece, Mrs.
Geo.-F. Brown, of Tacoma, Wash.,
better known to Clare friends as
Hazel Kirkpatrick as her girlhood
day's were spent here.
Hazel Kirkpatrick Brown was the
only daughter of Dave and Alice
Kirkpatrick born in Clare, Mich., on
February 25th, 1887 and departed this
life December 24th, 1931.
She has been a patient sufferer
since June, and altho she was lying in
bed she embroidered Christmas gifts
for her relatives, and when they were
opening the beautiful wrapped packages Christmas Eve little did they
realize the hands that had prepared
them so nicely was cold in death. She
had a kind and generous nature and
Will he greatly missed by her many
. friends.
She Maves to mourn a husband,

and ' riumefo fas other -relatives and

A few who have watched me sail
away
Will miss my craft from the busy
"busy;
Some   friendly     barks    that     were
anchored near,
Some living souls that   my   heart
held dear,
In silent sorrow will drop a tear.
But I shall have peacefully furled
my sail,
In moorings sheltered from storm and
gail;
And greeted the friends who have
sailed before v
O'er the unknown sea to the unknown
shore.
With all probability, could the
walls of the original, "Doherty auditorium", but speak, they would- proclaim, in no uncertain terms, that one-
of the most interesting, impressive
and educational function, ever held
within their • boundaries, occurred/
Tuesday night, January 5th, when the,
members of John Q, Look Lodge No.
404, F. & A. M. conferred the second
degree of Masonry, in Jong form, on
Clare's two popular young automobile mechanics-, James Clute and,
John Bruckart.
W[hen the gavel sounded in the
East, some one hundred members of
the local lodge, John J. Carton lodge,
of Harrison, several out of state
V4s4jcnaci.jtia.d*t 4^sjm{bJed;<tpt.' witness
the affair.
To confer the degree, in this way,
it requires some thirty participants
in the various roles, and the manner
in which each craftsman handled his
respective part was demonstrative of
how many many times in this life's
journey we find men, regardless of
whether their usual vocation be
painter, janitor or college professor,
possessing talents, never heard of,
except, when brought forth thru
occasions of this sort. Had this cast
been, tutored in the old school! where
perfection was the criterion of the
players, it is doubtless whether they
could have done any better, and only
by far greater investment would it
have been possible for the early
engineers and decorators : of stage
construction to have arranged a more
beautiful setting for the degrees of
Masonry than the present lodge
rooms, made possible./ thru the untiring efforts of W. M. Jesse R. Hampton and the cooperation of our good
citizen and brother Fred Doherty
and when the name of the former, appears before Grand Lodge, as a can-,
didate for Grand Marshal, when that
(body convenes in Saginaw in May,
the hearty support of the representatives of the constituent lodges thru-
out the state should warrant success
consequent to his labors.   Pub. Com.

An effort ia being made by iriendfu
of Arthur J. Lacy in Clare and Osceola counties) through petitions
being circulated,; asking him to consent to become a candidate for the
office of Governor of Michigan.
The- moremmt is being led by Ed-
Ward Axford, of this city, who states
that hundreds of Republicans are
joining with the Democrats in- the/
Signing of • the petitions. that will- fee
presented Mr. ' Lacy in the- near
future. In Clare if is said, that
eighty-five per cent of the businessmen have signed the petition to Mr,
Lacy and that the county will equal
that proportion.
The movement has also received'
momentum from several state papers and many prominent people
throughout the state have expressed
their views very favorably for Mr,
Lacy as a candidate.
An editorial in The Detroit Free
Press of January 1st in part says:
"Under such circumstances, the
advancement oi] the name of; any
solid and responsible citizen as »
Democratic gubernatorial prospect Is"
bound to open Up possibilities, and
there is no doubt that Judge Lacy is
that sort of citizen. He has reputation and experience, his vieVs art
public matters command respectful
and thoughtful hearing; and-- he Is-
happily free from petty politica} entanglement." "
Mr. Lacy was born in Lake county
in 1876 and following his graduation,
from the TJ. of M. started to practice-
law in this city in the year 1899. During his residence here he enjoyed an.
excellent practice and served the'
city as city attorney and Mayor ana
the county as Prosecuting Attorney*
for several terms, always keeping the-'
public's interest utmost in all liis
dealings.
About, .tw^^-ijwo^ years ago, 3 he
mtfved.-to' Detroff, "'where-:-his" ability4"
was at once recognized in the bugi- -
ness world. He was appointed Judge
of the Court of Domestic Relations of
the City of Detroit in 1913 and serveft
in this capacity for nearly one year,
when the law creating the court wasv
held illegal.
He is a member of the law firm'of.'
Anderson, Wilcox, Lacy and Lawsoiu
where his practice has been largely
along the lines of banking, taxation,,
corporation and business.
* "Lacy for Governor" clubs are already being organized in the city and
county by Mr. Axford in the anticipation that Mr. Lacy adhere to the.
wishes of his old friends here.
