City or Village Violating Provisions
OIL NEWS
Vernon Township
A derrick is being erected thit-
Aveel? on the Marseilles estate, sec-
\im 23 or one-half mile east of the
4ownhall, This is a deep well test
and it is reported that Isaiah Leebovc"
will have charge of the work.
To officials and citizens Avho have
no"t had an opportunity to learn just
liow the money coming to the cities
and villages under the provisions of
the so-called Horton laAV is to be
■used and expended, the following explanation may be of some help.
The so-called Horton 1-aav, under
the provisions of which any city or
village receives tax assesment relief,
■provides, that the funds so received
Khali be used in the folloAving man-
•*qer, and for the folloAving purposes,
and in no other manner, or for no
Other purpose,
.'. First Priority, In the payment of
the cities or villages portion of the
cost of maintaining the streets included on state trunk lines, or federal
aid roads Avithin t*ie corporate limits,
Xt the city or.A-illage haA'e no such obligations to, meet, then the entire
amount shall be used for the second
priority,
Second Priority, If any balance remains after taking care of the first
priority it shall be applied by the
City or .village on their share of the
cost of construction, or projects included under the Dykstra act on any
such project as have been undertaken
jointly Avith the highway department,'
If the city has no such obligation
to meet, then the entire amount
shall be used for the third priority.
Third Priority, If after having taken care of the first ancl seconcl priorities, there remains any balance in
the fund, then this balance shall first
be used on payment of principal ancl
interest on bonds or other-obligations
(Including sinking fund requirements
therefor) Issued or incurred by the
City or village for the Avidening, opening or improving any street, highway,
bridge or grade separation Avithin the
.corporate limits.
Any moneys left after taking care
of the first three, priorities shall be
used for the construction or main-
tainance of streets, higliAvays,
bridges or grade separations on any
of the city or village streets, This
includes all streets Avithin the
corporate limits without distinction
as to same or.their location.
<■ A penalty is provided for the city
or village who refuse or neglect • to
have the moneys used and expended
for the purposes as given above, and
to provide for a checkup on the city
or village, and to see that none of the
money is diverted from the prescribed uses the city's and villages are required to make a report each year to
the state highway department, sIioav-
ing Iioav and for Avhat purposes the
■funds were used.
Since 'writing the above Ave have
been informed from Avhat Ave believe
to be a reliable course, that the
■State Highway Department has in-
terpeted the laAV to mean that after
the street indebtedness has been
taken care of. then any balance that
may remain, in addition to the uses
named, may further include street
JigllUng, Street patrol, and even
street cleaning.

LIVESTOCK PARASITES VERY COSTLY
TO MICHJARMERS
Control Meetings Arranged
for February 13/to 21
by County Agent
In addition to heavy local and
state taxes, Michigan farmers are
being heavily taxed by the parasites
infesting their livestock. Much has
been said about the former tax but
very little has been done to correct
the latter Avhich is entirely withiii
their control. This extra tax in many
cases amounts to as much or more
than the actual property tax. Part of
each days time and a portion of the
daily feed are devoted to maintaining these unnecessary destructive
boarders.
The losses in sheep ancl lambs
from ticks, lice and Avorms take an
enormous toll from Michigan sheepmen. The bot flies Infesting horses,
the ox Avarbie fly infesting cattle,
Avith the lice infesting all kinds of
stock and poultry are making losses
amounting to millions of dollars to
Michigan Farmers annually..
Tavo specific cases can be cited to
demonstrate this useless waste. One
farmer reports that he sold 20 lambs
recently Avhich netted him SJ2.00 each.
Another sold -12 lambs'—for $17.00.
Both of these men had tried in vain
to get their lambs into good condition
for market by feeding extra amounts
of good feed. At the time these
lambs reached Detroit, top lambs
were selling for ?6.50 per cavI. In
each case the difference betAveen
what ihe lambs could have brought
and what they sold for amounted to
approximately ?50.00. The difference Avould be Avelcome in any man's
pocket this Avinter, The actual cash
outlay for protecting eacli group Of
lambs against Avorms, lice and ticks

library be reduced to the original
purpose of providing a library for the

have already invested a great deal of

R0ADC0MMISSION Penalty Provided for the City or Village Violating Provisions OIL NEWS Vernon Township A derrick is being erected thit- Aveel? on the Marseilles estate, sec- \im 23 or one-half mile east of the 4ownhall, This is a deep well test and it is reported that Isaiah Leebovc" will have charge of the work. To officials and citizens Avho have no"t had an opportunity to learn just liow the money coming to the cities and villages under the provisions of the so-called Horton laAV is to be ■used and expended, the following explanation may be of some help. The so-called Horton 1-aav, under the provisions of which any city or village receives tax assesment relief, ■provides, that the funds so received Khali be used in the folloAving man- •*qer, and for the folloAving purposes, and in no other manner, or for no Other purpose, .'. First Priority, In the payment of the cities or villages portion of the cost of maintaining the streets included on state trunk lines, or federal aid roads Avithin t*ie corporate limits, Xt the city or.A-illage haA'e no such obligations to, meet, then the entire amount shall be used for the second priority, Second Priority, If any balance remains after taking care of the first priority it shall be applied by the City or .village on their share of the cost of construction, or projects included under the Dykstra act on any such project as have been undertaken jointly Avith the highway department,' If the city has no such obligation to meet, then the entire amount shall be used for the third priority. Third Priority, If after having taken care of the first ancl seconcl priorities, there remains any balance in the fund, then this balance shall first be used on payment of principal ancl interest on bonds or other-obligations (Including sinking fund requirements therefor) Issued or incurred by the City or village for the Avidening, opening or improving any street, highway, bridge or grade separation Avithin the .corporate limits. Any moneys left after taking care of the first three, priorities shall be used for the construction or main- tainance of streets, higliAvays, bridges or grade separations on any of the city or village streets, This includes all streets Avithin the corporate limits without distinction as to same or.their location. <■ A penalty is provided for the city or village who refuse or neglect • to have the moneys used and expended for the purposes as given above, and to provide for a checkup on the city or village, and to see that none of the money is diverted from the prescribed uses the city's and villages are required to make a report each year to the state highway department, sIioav- ing Iioav and for Avhat purposes the ■funds were used. Since 'writing the above Ave have been informed from Avhat Ave believe to be a reliable course, that the ■State Highway Department has in- terpeted the laAV to mean that after the street indebtedness has been taken care of. then any balance that may remain, in addition to the uses named, may further include street JigllUng, Street patrol, and even street cleaning.

LIVESTOCK PARASITES VERY COSTLY TO MICHJARMERS Control Meetings Arranged for February 13/to 21 by County Agent In addition to heavy local and state taxes, Michigan farmers are being heavily taxed by the parasites infesting their livestock. Much has been said about the former tax but very little has been done to correct the latter Avhich is entirely withiii their control. This extra tax in many cases amounts to as much or more than the actual property tax. Part of each days time and a portion of the daily feed are devoted to maintaining these unnecessary destructive boarders. The losses in sheep ancl lambs from ticks, lice and Avorms take an enormous toll from Michigan sheepmen. The bot flies Infesting horses, the ox Avarbie fly infesting cattle, Avith the lice infesting all kinds of stock and poultry are making losses amounting to millions of dollars to Michigan Farmers annually.. Tavo specific cases can be cited to demonstrate this useless waste. One farmer reports that he sold 20 lambs recently Avhich netted him SJ2.00 each. Another sold -12 lambs'—for $17.00. Both of these men had tried in vain to get their lambs into good condition for market by feeding extra amounts of good feed. At the time these lambs reached Detroit, top lambs were selling for ?6.50 per cavI. In each case the difference betAveen what ihe lambs could have brought and what they sold for amounted to approximately ?50.00. The difference Avould be Avelcome in any man's pocket this Avinter, The actual cash outlay for protecting eacli group Of lambs against Avorms, lice and ticks (Continued on Page Bight) RETAIN STATE LIBRARY FOR PUBLIC USE AN ISSUE AT C.
