Discussion    of    Liability    Insurance
For .Fire Truck Occupies
CJoiinciimen.
Discussion of the procedure leading- to the formation of a charter
commission to draft a new charter
for the village, and consideration of
the problem of liability insurance on
the fire truck, occupied most of the
time of the council at their regular
meeting held Monday night in- the
council chambers. President Mark
Sugden was in the chair and all of
the trustees were present.
The petitions requesting that the
council go into the matter of making Saline a city were accepted -by
that body. There were 201 signatures on the petitions, although state
law only requires. 25. The added
names were solicited as a precautionary measure upon the advice of
the village attorney, Roscoe Boni-
steel.
In 30 days or not more than 40.
the council has to have a meeting at
which time a date for a special election -will be set, when the voters will
cast their ballot on the matter and
choose charter commissioners. A
committee, consisting of Messrs. Julius Bredernitz, Lloyd Fairbank and
Walter Cook, was appointed by th2
president to urge public-spirited citizens to run for charter commissioners.
In order to run for the office it is
necessary for » voter to have a petition signed by 25 qualified electors.
Nine charter commissioners are elected and their duty is to draw up the
"document under which the government of the village would run for a
number of .years. In the discussion
at the council meeting, it was suggested that a man from the Michigan Municipal League be employed
tp assist and direct in the formation
of the" document, inasmuch as the
League officials have made an ex-,
haustive study of the question Any
who may be interested in assisting in
the drawing up of the charter, should,
see a member of the above named
committee.
The President gave an informal report of the Michigan Municipal
League meeting for small cities and
villages in this section, held at Ann
Anbor October 22. He- attended the
conference with Trustee Cook. It
was brought out that attorney charges for assistance in drawing up a new
city charter would be considerably
more than the fee of the League. He
also stated that the new charter
would make it necessary for the city
to pay for the upkeep of the poor
within its limit,-whereas in the past
the township has taken care of this
matter. This would be inconsequential, however, as Saline has no such
problem at present.
A representative of the Wolverine.
Insurance Company of Lansing and
the local agent, A. C. Lange, presented a sample policy of liability insurance to the council. A committee
was appointed with the power to act
on the matter and consisted of Trustees Bredernitz, John Schleh and Ben
Uphaus.
Routine bills were passed upon at
the meeting and Village Treasurer
Frank Camburn submitted his books
for examination.

On  Occasion   of  Special
Farm Program
Rural-urban acquaintance was the
feature of Rotary at their meeting
Thursday noon at The Tavern, when
each member brought a guest from
the countny. James McBride of
Owosso, an agriculturist and teacher,
was the main speaker. Two cornet
solos were given (by George Austin,
accompained on the piano toy Mrs.
Bessie Collins.
Mr. McBride chose "Polical Economics" as -the topic for this rural-
urban program. He spoke of over-
industriallization and how the farmer, has been living on his capital. He
referred to the decrease of exports* ■
within the past -few years and the
necessity for developing new avenues
of trade to take care of the stock
that is left. He stated that the move
had been so rapid to the cities that
there were more men than were needed *and, with the resulant unemployment, these individuals could "not buy
the farmer's products. -\He was op-
tomistic about a reorganization of
the state of affairs and predicted a
self-adjustment of the problem.

Real
Estate  Operators  In
Effort To Get
Site Here-
Many Rumors in Circulation About
Institution but Owner
Works Farm.   "
No. definite action has been made
yet by the federal gavernment concerning the construction of a federal
jail on the Charles Miller property
on the northernly limits of the town,
but the matter is being promoted by
real estate operators and government
officials favorable to the plan, according to the owner of the property.
Several weeks ago the abstracts
and description of the property were
taken by a real estate man to be sent
to Washington for perusal by the
governmental officials and were later
returned says Mr. Miller.
Railroad officials are reported to
have made a survey of the opportunity for running a siding onto the
property_ which adjoins the right of
way. Congressman Earl. C. Michener was aked by village officials to assist in securing the acceptance of the
Miller property and his support has
been given.
Rumors have ibeen current for a
number of weeks concerning the
building of the jail. It is said to be
part of a national program of federal jail building to take care of minor
offenders and those awaiting trial so
that the government would not be required to board them out in county
and state institutions. The prisoners
are supposed to be of the type that
would work on the farm which would
be operated by the government. It
is also said that some manufacturing
would take place at the penitentiary.
Most Of the matter about the institu^.
tion is conjecture, however. Nothing definite is known locally of the
plans for the institution or where it
will be built. f
According to, the teal estate operator, Governor Fred Green loo-acd
over the proposed site last week and
pronounced himself in favor of it».
The village president, Mark B. Sug-
.den, has communicated with the department of jails and penitentiarties
at Washington and they said that the
matter was in abeyance, but soon
after the communication was received a government official is said
to have been looking over the railroad possibilities. He also enlisted
the support of Congressman Earl C.
Michener.
In the meantime, Mr. Miller is going ahead with his agricultural work
just as though nothing were in the
air. Several citizens have pointed
out the advantage to the village of
having the institution with its resultant trade while others have objected
on the grounds that it would be
dangerous.

If baby could write, it is fair to suppose that Santa Claus would be deluged with letters saying, "Please, dear-
old Nick, bring me a nice little hot-
water bottle to make me comfy.'' A.
miniature hot-water bottle in a be-
flowered satin case- is a cunning gift.
It doubles the message of comfort if a
bit "of talcum powder be included.
These nursery requisites are obtainable in matched sets, beautified with
flower craft which creates such wonderfully lovely posies out of satin
ribbon.
