0 RAISE WATER RENTS.
Board of Works Propose Water
Rent Increase and Rates
for Vernon City.
At a meeting of the board of works
Tuesday evening several recomonda-
tions were made to the common
council. A flat raise of ten per cent
on present water rates was recommended and the fee for installing water works connections for
lawns to be S10.00 instead of S8.00 aa
at present. The board also desire
that W. J. Holmes be retained as engineer at present apiary and that
'ctt*y clerk Doherty be collector of
water rents at same salary as last
year. It was deoided to install four
water meters for testing purposes at
various, points and it is also proposed
to install gates at various »points in
the mains so that in cage of a main
breaking not all the water system
need be out of commission as at
the recant breaking of the Mfth
street main a few days ago.
The question of granting city water
to Vernon Oity was taken up and it
was decided to recommend that rates
be twice what they are to taxpayers
within city limits, each person* to
stand expense of installing extensions, taps, etc.
These recommendations may not
be all approved by the council. In
fact some vigorous kicks are already heard.
Rev. W, J. Frost Resigns,
After two and one-half-years' service as pastor of the Olare Congregational church, Rev. W. Jerome
Erosthas tendered his resignation
to take effect as may be mutually
agreed between him and the congregation. The reverend gentleman is
a man of marked ability, especially
in the realm of -research and in the
marshalling of scholarly facts,
possessed of tireless energy for promoting what he deems uplift to humanity and tenacious in his purpose
to keep his membership at work in
the good cause.
Mr. Frost has several pastorates in
view but has not yet settled on a
location. Mr. and Mrs.. Frost will
take with them, wherever they may
go, the best wishes of many friends.

Letter* From Maine.
Dexter, Maine, March 31, 1907.
Editors Sentikel,—
I thought I would write a few lines
from here. I arrived here on the
19th from Lawerence, Mass. The
weather was fine there but when I
got here about three o'clock p. m.' it
was snowing and blowing a gale and
the storm continued all the next day,
which drifted the roads so badly that
it was impossible for the mail to get
over them. And you talk about snow.
There is three feet deep in the woods
now. The town of Dexter has spent
over S2000 this winter breaking roads.
What would we think of that in one
of our Michigan towns? Where we
can hardly get an appropriation of
S1000 to repair highways in the summer. But everything is looking prosperous and the farmers are doing
well. They seem to be making money, and are generally well satisfied
with themselves and the most of them
have nice homes. One sees the sign
of prosperity on every hand.
They held thier annual town meeting here last Monday; I was in attendance. I tell you it was a regular
jubilee for me. Their form of doing
business is so different from oUr way
in Michigan,.it is areal holiday. The
mills all shut down and everybody
goes to townmeeting. Even the
ladies are there and seem just as
interested ifl town affairs as the men.
And this last feature I think emanated from being associated with the
granges. I had the pleasure, of visiting the grange here in this place,
They have a membership of over 500
and still are taking in new members
nearly every week. .-The initation
fee is S3.00 for men and Sl.00 for the
ladies, They feel that the granges
have done .& great deal here for the
farmer,"
I have had a fine time since I left
Glare, have made all my connections
pej-fectly and found trainmen all Vary
courteous and obligmg.
Xfim beginning to feel _ little anxiety
about getting home and about election
as I suppose you well know I had a
little political bee- buzzing in my
bonnet when I ieft home. But I
suppose that will be all settled -tomorrow. But as I left John Duncan
to look after my interests along that
line, I feel perfectly safe.
Youics as ever "   *

CEMETERY IMPROVEMENTS.
Board Takes a Step Forward to
Beautify Cherry Grove.
At a meeting of Cherry Grove
cemetery hoard of trustees last
week, it was voted to grade and
properly fence the southwest portion
of the cemetery near the* vault completed last season and to gravel the
road down the cemetery east to the
newer addition. There is now $364.
to the credit of the cemetery fund
and it is proposed to go ahead
with improvements to the limit of
the fund. There was no appropriation for the cemetery last year and
the trustees feel that, while they
have hold back to have other city
improvements go fowar.d, much is
needed at tbe cemetery.
The price of cemetery lots to nonresidents is raised from S15 to S20.
BUILDING OPERATIONS.
The Season Opens in Clare with
Renewed Activity.
That the coming summer will contribute to Clare's growth the following contracts already let will show;
W. H. Elden has contracted with
H. W. Pierce & Son to build on
West Fourth street a one story
cement, warehouse and two stores,
With a frontage of 61 feet and 60 feet
deep.
John O'Oalaghan's contrast with
H. W. Pierce & Son calls for the
completion of a two story cement on
present foundations just north of
Clare Roller Mills on McEwen
street. The demensions are 40x137
feet.
George Hersey has contracted with
J. DePotty for the erection of a 28x32
two story modern residence on the
site of the building burned on Fourth
street.
Excavating is in progress on McEwan street north for a new Lutheran church 30x60 feet. It is to be
brick veneer. E. B. Gorr is architect.
ISABELLA HAPPENINGS.
Events Here.and There in Michigan's Hub County.
Mt. Pleasant is in the race for a
ball ,team this season.
For want of school room it is proposed to have some of the classes at
the County. Seat high school out
doors as soon as the weather permits.
Isabella voted down the amendment to the state constitution permitting boards of supervisors to
raise salaries of circuit court judges.
A forecast is that the state votes in
favor of it.
The Mt. Pleasant Courier was the
only paper in the county that took
sides on the local option fight. In
taking the "wet" side the winning
side was selected. The article published was the same matter .as distributed in circular form all over the

from County.
The 82,000 set aside by the board
of supervisors for roads last October
is available in the various townships
pro-rata of assessed valuation; Arthur S117.40, Frost S49.80, Franklin
S29.80, Garfield S55.60, Grant S235.50,
Greenwood S77.60, Hamilton 77.40,

8307,50, Summerfield <S27.50, Surrey
$232.70, Winterfield $64.60, Olare
$391.40, Harrison $96.70. There Is a
small amount of this, of course, not
collected. Bat each township will be
able to do something and many
townships have raised a highway,
fund additional. Oounty surveyor
Johnson.informs the Sentinel that
there is activity in the newer townships laying out new roads.
In Garfield the $1,200 paid into the
treasury from the sale of state tax
lands has be"en set aside for roads.
The main road out toward Brinton,
it is expected, is to be improved.
This was one of the issues of the recent election, '
Sheridan at the town meeting voted to close up the three-fourths of a
mile of road west from J. B. JEer-
rick's to Thomas Bell's corner and
open up a road on- the eighth line
north of this so as to do away with
two bridge structures incidental to a
sluggish creek. Some opposition is
heard to this project. Besides this
$900 was voted for highways and
S400 for bridges.
Grant voted $1,070 highway money
and an equal amount ,pf statute labor.
The affirmative vote to build a mile
of road north on the state road from
Olare, the- central north and south
road of the townsliip, necessitates
that provision be made for raising
the money required. The township
board will take up this matter.
