The Annual Business of St. NIary's
Falls Ship Canal.

The fiscal year of the St. Mary;s Falls
Ship Canal ended Oh September Both.
The amount of business has been very
gratifying. Tile number of passages
through the canal for the year have been
1865; total tonnage, 1,430, 1926; tolls
$42 635 "a. This, compared with the
year previous, shows an increase Of 269
in the number of pass ages, 115,910.IS in
tonnage, and $3,32l 81 in tolls. The in:
crease of business over t
previous year was very marked in
the early part of the season. The
indications are that the last two month $
of the navigation season, will show a
very decided falling off in business,
owing to the increased demand for ves-
sells in the Chicago grain trade. 1t HIS
been the custom of late years to have the
annual report, of the officer in, charge
of the canal to include only the months
of the fiscal year, but it has been decided
by the present Board Of Control to have
the report include tile season of naviga-
ton, indeed We believe the law as passed
last winter contemplated such change.
The annual report of the officers OF the
canal will therefore be several months
later this year than previously. For the
facts from which the above condensed
report is made we are indebted to Col
lectOr Chandler.

The full text of the decision OF the u
s. Supreme Court has been published un-
der which Amos Gould of OwosSo will
have to pay about $4,000. He was q
former State Senator and director of the
j.. L. & s. railroad. Mr.. Gould sold large
tracts of land under power of attorney
from the owner, of record, which lands
had::been formerly owned by q railroad
company. The true owner had permitted
affiaw to creep into his record title, of
which Gould took advantage, and after
Eselling the land and pocketing the pI0
ceeds, he turned around and sought to
defend himself against a suit for the va l.
ue of the lands by claiming that the
title of the true owner was unshaken by
his acts. A practical point i'm this decis ion
to Michigan tax-title dealers is that tax
deeds in the hands of the owner of the
land merge the states lien in the pre-
vious title, and tax-dee.ls are therefore
in such hands only evidence that the
taxes were satisfied, the lien of the state
discharged, and the land restored from
the sale. They transferred no new title
TO the grantee. The opinion of the court
(by Justice Fiel,D says that "the whole
conduct of Gould, "a disclosed by his let
ters, indicated IA fraudulent purpose. IL
might be justly termed larceuous, il lar
ceny could be applied to fraudulent
sale of another's land and the retention
of the proceeds. Gould was aware all
the time thYt he was defrauding the true
owner, whoever he might be. by the use
! of a power of attorney"

To the Honorable the Board OF Supervisors OF

GENTLEMEN-We would recommend
that the bill of Richmond & Backus re-
main unpaid, as we ecannOt flnd what pOr-
tiOn belongs to the county to pay; and

wanting blanks and books to order them

the bill! OF Mr.. Metivier. We claim that
he is paid salary tor doing the county
business of $550 90, and think that should
cover the business, as it being n very
high salary Tor the work ) and the bill OF
Col. Duryea remain in hands for further
Investigation. The balance of the bills

be paid, or laid over, to come before the
