Past Week One Of
Many Calamities
William Love Loses Farm Barns in
Expensive Fire, Edward Feuerbacher Sustains Broken Leg*.
A destructive fire occurred Friday
afternoon at tlie William Love farm,
on the Bridgewater road. Four
large barns and other smaller buildings were destroyed, together with
about three thousand bushels of
grain, with a loss of about $20,000,
partially covered by insurance.
Fire departments from Saline and
Bridgewater responded and their efforts, aided by the shifting of the
wind, saved the house and garage.
Mr. Love has one of the finest
farms about here and the community
regrets his misfortune. His large
herd of Holsteins will be sacrificed
at auction next Wednesday, as it is
impossible to properly care for them
without barns, and while he will rebuild the structures he cannot possibly get all of them replaced before
winter sets in.
Edward Feuerbacher was struck
by an automobile driven by "Wilbur
Bredernitz Saturday evemng as h?.
stepped out to cross the street. He
is in the Saline hospital with a "broken leg.
The fire department was called out
about 3 o'clock Monday morning by
a truck burning at Five Points. The
truck, which was transporting equipment for a carnival, was destroyed.
It was necessary to lay a line of hose
and use water in extinguishing the
blaze, the chemical outfit not being
equal to the task.
YOUNG FA3IILY REUNION
The seventeenth reunion of the
Young family was held at the home
of Duncan A. Robison on Sunday,
August 25.
Potluck dinner was served, and a
business meeting held at which last
year's officers were re-elected:
President—Wade Hendershot.
Vice President—Fred Stimpson.
Secretary-Treasurer—Adelia Robison.
Historian—Ida Mehler.
Through the efforts of Leon Hall
of Detroit, a very interesting musical
entertainment was provided by the
former radio star, Spider Doerr, of
Station WLW and WTAM.
Relatives were present from Britton, Tecumseh, Macon, Detroit and
Saline. Visitors were Mr. and Mrs.
Leon Hall and family of Detroit, Mrs.
Enola Hall, and Mr. and Mrs. Nathan
Dibble of Tecumseh.

The belief is that of Theodore I.

proving successful.

The fascinating story of production will be told, how oil is piped

Fry also expresses the belief that
the need for "counter balancing accounts" and similar bookkeeping
maneuvers will be eliminated by
revenue realized from the campaign.

tirement in budgets will be chopped
down and the vital functions of government will receive the lion's share
of the taxpayer's dollar.
"With the dead horses of the past
taken care of, it will be easier to
make receipts cover "expenditures.
Balanced budgets will agan become
the order of the day.
"Most important of all, these collections will be distributed all along
th.6 line. Impoverished cities, anemic
school districts, distressed counties^—
they will all get their share. The
practice of 'robbing Peter to pay
Paul*, will go into the discard.
' "Many of the ticklish problems
pressing for solution must await a
clearing up of the tax situation.
"Reorganization of school districts,
and the consolidation of governments
and governmental functions can
never be accomplished while hundreds of units are burdened with debt
and mired in a morass of unsettled
bills. The success of the state campaign to bring in these back taxes
will go a long way to clear the way
for an honest effort to simplify the
processes of government."
Michigan's tax campaign is now in
its final stage. County treasurers
throughout the state are working
nights to keep up with tlie rush but'
are finding it physically impossible to
serve the thousands pressing to pay
before the September l deadline.
