At the meeting Of the Board of
Supervisors, on Thursday last, the
Board decided to submit the ques-
ton of court house to the people
at the coming spring election. If
Alpena county ever intends to
build a court house, it is, in our
opinion, high time that the people
were taking some steps in that
direction. Alpena county, al
though having the largest popu-
lation, is the only county from Bay
county to the Straits that has no
court house. The prospect for the
rapid growth of this city and
county we're never better than they
appear at the present time, and
unless court house is construct
ed before many years, it will be
difficult to obtain suitable site for
snch structure. But the matter
is all left with the voters to do or
not to do, just as they deem proper,
and we hope that every voter will
consider the matter we'll before he
casts his ballot, and then he sure
that he votes just as his conscience,
without Partially or influence from
others; dictates, either for or against,
and we presume that it will he
voted to raise the $4,000 for the
building of court house for Alpena
county.

The winter now just drawing to
a close, has been one of the most
favorable for operations in the
woods that our lumbermen have
experienced I several years, and
every advantage has been taken of
the opportunities offered for lum-
bering, and it is now estimated by
those who ought to know, that the
amount of logs that have been
and will yet be secured, will be am
pie to supply the mills full capac-
ty for the entire season. This Of,
itself, is by no means an unfavora-
BILE outlook for Alpena; but when
we take into consideration the
fact that business in every part
of the county has brighter pros
pect than it has had since 1873,
and knowing that there is to be
more improvements and general
business transacted in the county
this season than ever before, we
cannot but feel that Alpena has
passed her darkest hour, in a bust
ness point of view, and the true
signs of returning prosperity are
now seen on every hand.

impossible to tell the fraudulent portion Of
the debt, are you In favor OF throwing the
weight of proof on them tthe bondholders)7
3. Are you In favor OF scaling the State
debt and II 80. to what amount and at what
rate of INTEREST,"
4. Are you In favor OF reducing the salaries
of officers, abolishing useless Offices and re-
ducing the expenses OF the State SO that q
five and half mill tax will cover all ex-
penses2
5. Are you In favor of retaining the five and
O half mill interest taxi
To the first query Mr. Conway answered :
II am thoroughly In favor OF Investigating
the debt and eliminating the fraudulent part
of It,"
To question No. he answered, "In my
thirty years experience In this city, believe,
from what have studied and concluded, that
the State debt-the honest indebtedness lis
not over s5,0O0,0O0, which ought to pc paid at
the rate Of 5 per cent interest, and not more.
As to question No. 8, Mr.. Conway holds
"that the debt ought to be scaled In such q
way as to give wide berth to oil fraudulent
bonds and obligations, and allow only the
honest debt to be paid"
ally as the others. Mr.. Conway believes In
abolshIng all useless offices. There are, he
says, over one hundred offices In the State
that are perfectly useless. He would not
cite them on account OF their number.
Mr.. Conway. answering question No. 3, says
he Is opposed to the payment OF 5T mills for
q special purpose is, the payment Of
the interest. He thinks that the State should
be able to meet all the expenses OF govern
ment at the rate Of q s. mills tax.
MIR. DANIEL MORTALITY,
one of the nominees for the Third Represen-
tative District was next called upon.
Mr.. Moriarty comes squarely forward and
says that the best investigation to do Is to
thrown overheard all Indebtedness, because
he cannot say what debt Is honest and what
one Is fraudulent. He says: II am in favor
of throwing all the weight OF proof on the
bondholders Ii they say that certain debt is
honest; because they cannot and dare not
prove 1t.
wish that all offices, both In the city and
State not necessarily needed, be abolished
believe the bureau system Of city admins
tration to be failure, and | wish we could
return to the old aldermanic system. The
51% mill tax ought to abolished SO far as 1t
relates to the special clause OF the law to pay
interest on the bonds; bat I think that the
same tax could sufflce to pay all the expenses
of the government.
