Trustees present Messrs. -Bassett,
Fish, Gates and Burkhart. Absent
Henne and Schairer.
Minutes of last session cead and approved.
Street Commissioner's report read,
accepted and placed on hie.
Messrs. Schairer and Henne enters.
On motion the Chair was requested
to appoint a Committee of three on
Board of Election Commissioners, a
Committee of two on Board of Registration and a Committee of two on
Board of Election Inspectors.
The President made the following
appointments. Election Commissioners; Sam Josenhans, A. C. Clarke,
H. W. Bassett: Board of Registration;
Leonard Bassett, Geo. E. Schairer:
Election Inspectors; J. H. Fish, John
W. Gates.
Trustee Fish excused.
. The Committee to whom was referred the street lighting question made
the following report:
Saline, Mich., February 4,1901.
To the President and Trustees of the
Village of Saline:
The committee to whom was referred the Street Lighting question beg
leave to submit the following report;
The "Washtenaw Electric Co. of
Geddes, Michigan, do not care to make
a proposition to light the Village of
Saline from the Geddes Plant at this
time but would be pleased to meet a
committee and give them figures on
installing a plant.
We have letters from E. P. Roberts
& Co., Cleveland, Western Electric
Co., Chicago, Field and Hinchman,
Detroit, Fort "Wayne Electric Co.,
Fort Wayne, Kalamazoo Valley Electric Co., Kalamazoo, in regard to installing a plant, also other informa-.
tion which we would gladly furnish if
the Council desire.
* We are informed by correspondence
with a number of villages and cities
that electric lights are expensive and
in some instances not very satisfactory
especially when contracted for from
private companys. Almost every village and city heard from are of the
opinion that in order lo get a good
light the plant ought to be owned by
the village or city and in regard to
cost of lights they would exceed our
means We are unable to find any
private company that would install a
plant and furnish us lights under contract. We considered that the people-
would not be willing to issue Bonds to
the amount of not less than §10,000 to
purchase an Electric Light-Plant.
We received a proposal of Mr. 1'. W.
Shute to furnish us with Arc Acetylene Gas Lights for the Sum of Six
Hundred ($600) Dollars per year to be
turned off at Eleven (11) o'clock p. m.
We would (flake the following recommendations;
1. That the request of the Petitioners presented at the last nieetiug he
accepted and granted.
2. That the committee be empowered to Gontract with Mr. P. W. Shute
for 17 Arc Gas Lights at a price not to
exceed §600 per year and Lights to run
unlil Eleven (II) o'clock, also to locate
the lights.
All of which is respectfully submitted. Fred Henne,
Geo. E. Schairer,
Chas. Burkhart,
Committee.
On   motion  the  above   report   and
recommendations were  accepted  and
adopted  by the Board with the following vote; Yeas 4,-Nos 1.
The  Finance   Committee   reported
favorably on  the  following bills and.

If there is one office above another
that should be filled with an able and
highly respected individual, it is
that of county school Commissioner.
This office is to be vottd on again at the
spring election in April, and in the
person of Fred J. Tooze, now Professor
of our High school, we find just such
a man. Mr. Tooze is,, a candidate for
the office and should receive a hearty
support from this vicinity where his
work for the past two years has been
crowned with success on every side.
Mr. Tooze was left parentless when
very small and has won for himself
what he is. He spent-much of his life
until seventeen ia the district school,
after which he taught very successfully district schools for six years
working on a farm during vacations.
He is a graduate of our State Normal
School in the diploma course, and
while there won two oratorial contest
medals and did much social and literary work outside of school. He also
spent a year at the TJ. of M. Prior
to coming here he held the position
of superintendent of the Quincy
schools. He was institute instructor
at the large meeting held in Branch
county in 1899 and was recalled to
conduct the three weeks meeting
in 1900 which was one of the largest,
best attended and interesting ever,
held in the state. Mr. Tooze's institute work and school life has placed
him in close touch with the district
schools which makes him especially
fitted for the aspired position. The
past two years as teacher in our school
has clearly demonstrated the fact of
our subject's zeal for school work and
his over abundance of ambition to
make his work not only a successs but
a credit to the district in which he
pcesides. These are the men to fill
offices of trust.
