New Series: Vol. IS,No. 14
HIGHEST BiO WAS $17,300.
This Amount Will BgAvailable
! for New Water Works
"and Mains. .
Of the fifteen bids for Clare's municipal bonds ot 814,750 for water, works
the bast one was that of N. W. Noble
& Co. of Detroit offering to take the
bonds at five per cent and pay a premium of $l ,471. But as the proposition'
submitted to the people'>was for six
^. p/r cen> bonds, the city council deemed it not expedient to accept that offer. Subsequently the same company's
offer to takethe bonds at six percent
and to paj a premium of $2,550 was accepted.   This brings the interest 'to
1      about-four and one-half per cent, but
yet by accepting "this propositlonmore
„, • than $1,000 will be' expended at ti-e
,,end o£twenty years,above what would
have been required, if the first mentioned bid could h ive beVn-' accepted.
But the»first bid wquk\ have fnade
;..: on y $16,221 available for the water
work's fund while the bid tha*t was ac
cepted will give Sn^OD.   This is con-
; . sidered an important i'em as some
contend that theiestimates previously
givenpn yitrified pipe from the river
to the site of the new plant as well as
Other, items were too low and there
fore it wi.l requ re all the money to
complete what is necessary. Besides
residents on Seventh street west contend that »heir water main is so poor
that they must have a new one in
.stalled:
It is noticeable thaji Gladwin's
school district bonds for $15,000 sold
last week at five percent "with a premium of $1,350 which is not as good as
the bid on Clare's municipal bonds,
not usually selling as well as school
district bonds* of $14,750 at five per
cent with a premium of $1,471.
City Clerk Benner has this week
been earning his salary making a tran
script of all proceedings relative to
bond issuance. The company wih examine the same relative to the legal-
.T; ity of the proceedings and thereafter
j the funds will become available, but
it is dtubtful if the necessary legal
-' steps can be taken so as to have the
work on the water works fciegin April
1st.

REBUILD LOOMIS DREDGE.
Speculators   Sell    their   Lands
, "Along the Course of the
Drain.
The rebuilding tf the Loomis drain
dredge on James Martin's farm near
Herrick is in progress. The plank
and timbers used,in huilding.at first
were the i»me- ones used some time
aao in Saginaw county and were
pretty we 1 water logged On freezing the- ice eviden ly expanded
them a> d on being thawed out »t the
completion of the dredge so contracted
that it became necessary to dismantle
all the work and begin anew the work
of dredge construction. It is expected that everything will be completed to begin on the ditch when the
break up occur-*'.
One go d thing accomplished by the
drain is the sell ngnf land owned by
non-residents along its course. So
eager have they been to unload to residents that only two descriptions of
land aldmr the route of the Loomis
drain are now owned by outside parties It l»as proved not a little consoling to know that the land specu a-
or who had no idea of trying to improve the country has found it convenient to sel out even at a sacrifice
and now much of the bi teropposrion
a -ainst the project has passed awa.v
in the knowled-.!" that the land is at
last in the hands of those who will develop it and that the'drain will make
po-sible that development for much
of it.
, Married Twenty-nine Years.
Mr and Mrs. James H. Sveley of Vernon township stood up in front of the
j-gjnistef who-said the words which
made them man and wife, just twenty-lime years agoiast Monday, and
they are each as young and happy to-
■ day as on that day when they promised each other and the minister to
stick to each other through thick and
thin, through storm and through sunshine, for all time. The neighb rs
and friends in Vernon and Wise had
become possessed of the knowledge Of
the date i if the anniversary, and had
arranged to give them a big surprise,
but the weather was so cold, and the
xo dsso tilled with drifts of snow that
only about forty succeeded in reaching their residence, two b'g loads getting stack in the drifts and having to
turnback. As it waS those who did
get there had one of the happiest jol-
jiesi, evenings imaginable, and when
they left-pre ented Mr. and Mrs. See-
ley with a htndsome Morris chair
which •'Jim" has monopolized ever
'Since, and they say he won't even
• leave it to bring in the wood." It's
such happy occasions like the above

Legislative   Dqiiigs of the Past
Week and Plans for the
Future.
It is likely that the harsh quarantine measures—needlessly harsh as
many people think—through the state
board of health, in the trifling smallpox outbreaks that have occurred,
have had something to do with such
popular support as the Doherty bill
for the reorganization of that board
has found. However, Dr. Baker, as
tbe secretary ot the board, has many
earnest supporters who are actively
interested in his behalf against the
bill which, should it become a law, is
expected to result in his removal from
that position. The house committee
having tbe bill in charge gave a hearing to a number of those, Thursday
evening: and the doctor had laid upoD
the desks of members of the house,
Wednesday, a protest against the provision of the bill which requires the
expenditures of the "health board* to be
approved by the board of auditors, on
the ground that that Is a rule not applied to other state boards, and that
the expense items of that, board are
often emergency measures. The committee was expected to close its consideration of the bill after Thursday
night's hearing, and the presumption
at the time ot mailing this correspondence is that it will be favorably
reported and will pass the house.
Meantime^ Dr, Baker is. con fined to
his house with a serious illness.
The house in its brief session Wednesday evening passed a resolution
submitting an amendment to the constitution which would permit the
state to appropriate money for improvement of public roads, which was
expected to pass the senate and be
presented to the voters ot the state at
the April election. This would be in
line with the governor's earnest recommendation of the subject of good
roads, and there could be little doubt
of its ratification at the polls. The
house also granted to the governor the
use of representative hall the following morning for a public hearine
upon the Bay City consolidation repeal bill, which developed extreme
antagonism after its passage. This
is a case of the governor taking the
public into his confidence, to listen
with him to the arguments pro and
con, so that they could know, as he
would know, the reasons that would
govern bis actions in the matter. After fully informlnK himself as to all
facts connected with the case Gov.
Warner decided to veto the bill and
the Bay Cities will remain united.
The burning of one of the large dormitory buildings at the Agricultural
College a week ago, makes the second
occasion within a few years of the
destruction of a state building while
the 'legislature was in session, the
other being the burning of one of the
workshops at the Industrial School
for boys, which occurred five years ago
during one of Governor Pingree's
special sessions. The present case
will necessitate a considerable increase in the contemplated appropriations for the college, and it brings into prominence the claim of the city of
Lansing that the state ,ought to restore the allowanceo'f fifteen hundred
dollars a year which was formerly
paid to ,the city for fire and police protection. An urgent call for help sent
one of the city engines on a three mile
run over a hilly and snow drifted road
two and a half miles beyond the
city limits, on a bitterly cold morning
oefore daylight, and who would say
that the state does not owe the city,
or the brave firemen, for such service? The citizens are contributing
to a fund to help the students who
lost money and belongings in the fire,
more than a hundred of them, and
some of whom must, unless assisted,
abandon tbe BChool and go home.
Governor Warner^ upon the conclusion ot the judicial inquiry in the
case of sheriff-elect John T. Hoffman,
of Detroit, last Thursday, signed the
order formally ousting that gifted
grafter from the office to which he
had been elected, and Hoffman is now
just a common prisoner in the county
jail, or out of it on ball, awaiting trial
for robbing the state upon perjured
proofs in coroner's cases. The governor also signed the Wayne county primary election act, for use in the approaching nominations, and it is
hoped tbe hew law will not favor the
success of men like Hoffman, who secured his nominatien under tbe primary election law-of two -/ears ago..
I*- Senator Linsley, of Three Rivers,
has a bill to-secure gicalev publicity
concerning proposed amendments to
the constitution, which is a recognition bf> a need that has been realized
by every man who has voted at manyi
elections in this state. It is a frequent occurrence that a largo proportion of the voters come to the polls to
be confronted with propositions to
vote upon proposed amendments to
the constitution of the state, upon
Which all of our laws must rest,
without knowledge even of the provisions proposed; and it is in the experience of almost every one that sometimes there is no person who can give
the desired information. Men must
vote blindly upon questions far more
important than the selection of anv
officer, or, what thev very often do,
shirk the duty and not vote at all.
Senator Linsley's bill U aimed to meet
an urgent need.
* * f> *
There are a number of primary reform..bills' ot general application already on the legislative calendars,
and more coming. Senator Brown,
of Liapeer, is preparing one with
great dare, which he expects to introduce this week; and representative
Van Keurcn, of Livingston, has one
providing Tor direct t nomination of
state officers." and election < of delegates to state convention to nominate
in cases where no candidate has a
majority, which is likely to be the
more" common result. And now, If
the conventions, and the committees
•visitations, and the freshmen rushes
are all past, so that the solons can
get down to real work, working as
much as four days in each week* they
should be able to find out before long
what kind of a bill they want, and
perfect it and pass it, ana that is
what we expect soon to hear.
