Election Question.
The voters of Washtenaw county
will decide at the April election
whether the county officers, with oue
or two exceptions, shall receive stated
salaries or fees as at present. The
last legislature provided that the
question should be submitted to the
voters this spring and if the affirmative prevails it will become the duty
of the supervisors to determine the
salaries within the limitations of the
act. The salary of the sheriff may be
$2,500 to $3,000; under sheriff, $S00 to
$1,000; deputy, $G00 to $1,000; treasurer, $1,S00 to $2,000, and clerk and
register of deeds the same; deputies
$600 to $1,000, and all other deputies
will receive such compensation as the
supervisors shall direct. Should the
vote to adopt the new schedule prevail the fees received' by all the officers will be paid into the county
treasury. No mention is made in the
act of the judge of probate, the county
school commissioner or any of the
other county officers not enumerated
and the salaries of all others will of
course be left, as. now, to the supervisors.—Ypsilantian.
Sweaters Presented.
At a special chapel meeting Tuesday afternoon at the Ypsilanti High
school, the formal presentation of the
football sweaters was made. Principal
Quillin made a few appropriate remarks and then presented the sweater
vests to fifteen men who last fall so
well defended the Ypsilanti goal line,
these being Capt. Truman Dean, Capt-
elect John Brooks; Harvey, Kilian,
Sherzer, McFall, Barchus, Wortley,
Augustus, Piercey H. Lathers, Col van,
Crossman, Cooney, Morrison: The
boys retired to the hall and soon returned to march across the stage in
their new sweaters, amid hearty
cheers. This year the sweaters are
white with a blue Y. Those who hare
played one year have plain -sleeves,
those who have served longer have a
blue stripe for each year of play upon the sleeved The team made a
very creditable record and were very
popular.—Ypsilanti an .j
In Washington Society.

Detroit papers say that Mrs. James
F. Burke, formerly Miss Josephine
Scott of Ypsilanti, sister of Mrs. Fred
Fisher, is one of. the most attractive

jvife of the -young Congressman from
-Pittsburg, who was formerly a brilliant debater and orator at the TJ. of

Quite A Problem.
A certain citizen of the Fifth ward
of this city has cost the second district in the past three years $1S0.*19
for board at the county house, and
yet, for six months of the summers
he has worked on the city streets at
$1.75 a day. His wages in the summer go into the saloons and the 'city
pays $2 a week for his keep during
the other months. Here is the problem for the taxpayers. It would cost
less te> keep him at the county house
the entire year as he earns not more
than 75 cents on the city streets.—
