NUMBER 39
Council Considering I
Recovery Act Loan!
. =* '
Money Will^Be Used To Resurface j
/* Henry Street and Possibly ,
Maple Avenue. '
At the meeting of the Rotary club
last Thursday! noon, Mayor Sugden
talked on President Roosevelt's National. Recovery Act, the object" of
whicli is to encourage cities and! villages to make necessary improvements that will employ considerable
labor.
The speaker mentioned two projects Saline might well take up, but
of the two, a filtration plant and resurfacing a couple of streets, the latter appeals to the councilas being
the most needed at this time, and as
we .understand! it, they are quite apt
to go forward with it.
The government will donate 30
per cent of the cost, and the balance
can be repaid a little at a time over
*a term of years, and the interest
" rate will be low. If the work is undertaken Henry street will be given
a. surface that will stand up for
/
spent *in upkeep: year by year under
the old plan: woud go a long way toward repaying the loan. Maple avenue may also be given suc"7h treatment, at least* that part of it where
curbs, and gutters are in. Streets
not thus prepared-cannot be treated
at this time.
WINTER APPLE SPRAY
Growers of winter apple varieties
are warned to apply their annual
sprays for the codling moth. Dr. R.
G. Pettit, TMichigan State; -college entomologist, said growers: in Berrien,
Cass, St. Joseph, Van Buren, Kalamazoo and Calhoun counties should
spray by July 19 and those in Branch
county July 20. . "
If the apples- are Washed with chemicals, the spray should 'consist of two.
pounds of arsenate of lead to four
pounds of hydrated lime, for each 10
gallons of water. Tlf unwashed, two
gallons of summer oil emulsion
should be used to 100 gallons of water" or one'gallon of the-erhulsion- and
three-fourths pine of nicotine sul-
; phate to 100 gallons of water.

Sunday to the Moose Lodge of Ann
Arbor, the score being 5 to 3. Moose
Lodge scored a run in the first and
third and; three in the eighth. Saline scored their runs in the fourth,
seventh and ninth. The contest was
more or less a pitcher's battle until
the eighth when a single, an error
and a home run gave Ann Arbor
three runs. Buster, pitching for
Mooge Lodge, struck out 13 batsmen.

The half-price sale of 1933 license
plates will start August 1, it has
been announced by the secretary of
state, following the governor's decision to veto the Raymond bill which
provided for four different license
plate prices, according to time of
purchase.
Defects in the bill in not properly
specifying the times when plates
should be sold at half and at quarter-prices were some of the reasons
given for the veto. The half-price
sale will start August 1" under the
provisions of the Orr bill which, allowed 1932 plates to be used until
that date when- accompanied by a
i windshield! -permit showing that onc-
' half of the 1933 weight tax had been
paid. _ .*t<i ti ■ •

THURSDAY, JULY 20, 1933 NUMBER 39 Council Considering I Recovery Act Loan! . =* ' Money Will^Be Used To Resurface j /* Henry Street and Possibly , Maple Avenue. ' At the meeting of the Rotary club last Thursday! noon, Mayor Sugden talked on President Roosevelt's National. Recovery Act, the object" of whicli is to encourage cities and! villages to make necessary improvements that will employ considerable labor. The speaker mentioned two projects Saline might well take up, but of the two, a filtration plant and resurfacing a couple of streets, the latter appeals to the councilas being the most needed at this time, and as we .understand! it, they are quite apt to go forward with it. The government will donate 30 per cent of the cost, and the balance can be repaid a little at a time over *a term of years, and the interest " rate will be low. If the work is undertaken Henry street will be given a. surface that will stand up for / spent *in upkeep: year by year under the old plan: woud go a long way toward repaying the loan. Maple avenue may also be given suc"7h treatment, at least* that part of it where curbs, and gutters are in. Streets not thus prepared-cannot be treated at this time. WINTER APPLE SPRAY Growers of winter apple varieties are warned to apply their annual sprays for the codling moth. Dr. R. G. Pettit, TMichigan State; -college entomologist, said growers: in Berrien, Cass, St. Joseph, Van Buren, Kalamazoo and Calhoun counties should spray by July 19 and those in Branch county July 20. . " If the apples- are Washed with chemicals, the spray should 'consist of two. pounds of arsenate of lead to four pounds of hydrated lime, for each 10 gallons of water. Tlf unwashed, two gallons of summer oil emulsion should be used to 100 gallons of water" or one'gallon of the-erhulsion- and three-fourths pine of nicotine sul- ; phate to 100 gallons of water.

The half-price sale of 1933 license plates will start August 1, it has been announced by the secretary of state, following the governor's decision to veto the Raymond bill which provided for four different license plate prices, according to time of purchase. Defects in the bill in not properly specifying the times when plates should be sold at half and at quarter-prices were some of the reasons given for the veto. The half-price sale will start August 1" under the provisions of the Orr bill which, allowed 1932 plates to be used until that date when- accompanied by a i windshield! -permit showing that onc- ' half of the 1933 weight tax had been paid. _ .*t |
