E. D. Palmer, former publisher of
The Clare Sentinel, passed away Sunday afternoon at his home at Bing-
hampton, New York, at the age of
eighty-seven years.
M. D. Eaton purchased The Clare
Press from W. S. Cooley in July, 1889,
And consolidated, it with the Clare
Democrat with the August 2nd issue,
later that year selling 'the Democrat-
Press to the late Mr. Palmer and R.
G. Jefferies, now publisher of the
Lowell Ledger. December 2, 1892, the
name of. the newspaper was changed
to The Clare Sentinel.
Soon after this time Mr. Plamer
sold his interest in The Sentinel to
to take .up teaching. He was superintendent of the Clare Public Schools
around the turn of the century, later
serving in this capacity at Mason,
West Bay City and St. Johns, Michigan.
In 1910 Mr. Palmer returned and
purchased an interest in The Sentinel
again, in partnership with Enoch An-
drus, and continued here for two
years, when- he went to Binghamton
to engage in the printing business.
. He was a graduate from Hillsdale
College and held a Master of Arts
degree from the University of Michigan. He had been instructor in printing in the Binghampton Central High
School from 1919 until his retirement
four years ago. He was author of
several volumes, of poems during his
lifetime. '
Erastus Devillo Palmer was born
December 8, 1861, in a slab house
near Wellsyille, New York, and was
not only a witness of the pioneering
of that community, but also of education and newspaper publication in
that vicinity and. itt Clare, and of the
invention and development of such
things as the phonograph.
He was united in marriage in 1890
with Ettie Muscott, of Clare, and was
a member of the First Congregational
Church at Binghampton.
He is survived hy a daughter, Mrs.
Sybil P. Bird, of Binghampton; a son,
Ralph D. Palmer, of Elmira, New
York; a brother, the Rev. Louis D.
Palmer, of 'Stroudesh'urg, Pa.; four
grandchildren, several nieces and nephews, and many friends.
Funeral, services were held from a
Binghamton funeral _home at 2:00
. o'clock Wednesday afternoon, with
the Bev.-i Claude. A? McKay, pastor of
the -Congregational Church there,

Dan McDonald that: "The City Com'
mission proceed with ihe proposed
projects listed in the statement of
cost from the Michigan State Highway Department." The result of the
ensuing voice vote was twenty yeas
and four nays, the motion carrying."
The' above mentioned statement of
specifications and costs, which was
read at the hearing, is on file with
City Clerk Alex Mckinnon.
Monday evening, April 18, the City
Commission assembled for a regular
meeting, with all commissioners present, and approved the proposed State
Highway Department pavement widening project, with Federal Aid, in accordance with the wishes of ' local
citizens expressed at the hearing.
Some discussion took place concerning the controversial water tax
situation, during which it was revealed that the Gity Water Department
was $6,595.68 in the red as Of April
18, and it was decided to table the
matter  for  further  investigation.
On Tuesday evening, during a special session of the City Commission,
the following resolution was unanimously adopted:
"Whereas it appears that water
rate from April 1st, 1949^—Agril 1st,
1950, is not advantageous to maintenance of city records; and whereas a
charge of $2.33 for arrears from Sep
tember 7, 1948, to April 1, 1949 should
not be taxed to flat rate water users,
now therefore be it resolved;
That water bills shall be due arid
payable on May 1st for one year in advance at the rate of $18.00 per year
in excess of one water outlet and at
the rate of $12.00 per year for one
outlet.
Be it further resolved that all flat
rate water users who have ptiid the
sum of $2.33 as arrears for 1949 will
receive credit therefore against their
water charge for 1950. Those flat water Users who have not paid said
arrears item of $2.33 for 1949, shall
not be required to pay same.
