Inspector
Approves Dam
Re-Building
A report to the City of Clare
by a consulting engineer, Carl
T. Kobbins, Jr. who was engaged
to inspect the design and work-
mansliip of the new Lake Shamrock dam, has settled once more,
and for' All the question ol
whether the dam Is good enough
for the job.
Construction on the project of
rebuilding the dam so far is belter than good enough! And the
design for the remaining work
meets the approval of Kobbins
and his firm of engineers, Norton, Kobbins and Associates in
Traverse City.
The inspector was here on Friday last week to make a detailed inspection of the work and
to consult with the designer,
James Cole. His approval followed.
This late dtevelopment would
seem to answer rumors that
have circulated among lesser informed and qualified critics that
the new construction was not of
the best.

Increasing complaints indicating waste and misuse of welfare-
distributed food and commodities
in Clare county have forced the

Warning that the summer season
supply will be reduced.
. Recipients were sterrily advis
ed this week to pick up only
amounts of food that they could
use during a month period.
Director Hughes said, "Due to
the misuse of Federal Surplus
Commodities, we are cutting the
summer supply. We again ask
that families in aid pick up only
the commodities that they can
use in a month period.
"These commodities are not to
be exchanged, sold, or destroyed.
The (Clare county) welfare de
partment signed for these items
for the good of the people who
need and can use them. The De
partment is disappointed that
anyone would take advantage of
the program,
("All cades receiving surplus
supplies will he interviewed by
desk before the June or July
distributions. This interview and
examination will no longer be
made by mail, but henceforth
must be made in person."

is being sold to the local development corp. which will, in turn,
lease, it to Beaver Corp.
Beaver Tool and Engineering
is a firm With a 20-year history
in the design, engineering and
manufacture of machine tool
accessories. Until five years ago
they were located in Detroit
area but then relocated in Gaylord. According to Streadwick, a
primary consideration in" the decision to move to Clare is the
great advantage in transportation facilities.
A production man-force of
about 45 is normal for the corp*
oration,, and with the facilities
of the plant they will occupy in
Clare, the firm gains much needed floor area.
The move has been the subject
of many rumors in the past few
days but final decisions were not
announced until after directors'
board meetings early this month
for Beaver in Gaylord, and Monday for Holley in Detroit, The
Clare County Development Corporation has worked for three
months in promoting contracts
between Beaver and Holley.

Holley building got more than
$50,000. in various amounts during a 24-hour drive on May 17
and 18, Clare businessmen, the
Holley Company in Detroit and
others who put cash into the
campaign received interest-bearing bonds' which the Beaver
Corporation's lease payments
wjll retire.    . ,
Holley officials and members
of the local Development corp.
who are familiar with the Beaver Corporation personnel and industrial operations hold out congratulations to Clare on the
acquisition, of a fine, new industry and the anticipation of
new neighbors taking their
places in the city's community
life. Many families of the corporation's staff and work force are
now "seeking1 moderate-priced
rental property in the Claire
area.

Holley's new plant addition are
due to be opened shortly and the
contracts awarded. Harold Sand-
born, plant manager in Clare
said that local firms are interested in the jobs.
