Total vote in townships,

Total vote in Alpena county 1906
The official returns show that only
1859 votes were cast for State officers
and it would seem that 341 voters
either refused to vote for State Off
GERS, or else forgot that there were
State officers to be voted for.
Every man in the State Of Michi-
gan is or ought to be interested in the
election of Judges of the Supreme
Court, as the jurisdiction Of the law
extends to all persons in the State.
The effects of bad local officers fall
mostly on the property holder, and
yet the election returns show that 81
persons, who voted for local officers,
refused or neglected to express their
opinion regarding Justice Of the Su-
preme Court. If the law was amend
ed so as to do away with two ballot
boxes, and have the names Of candi-
dates, both for State and city or
township officers, on the same ticket,
there would be Il far larger vote cast
for State officers. The two separate
boxes are a nuisance, and the differ
ent tickets often get into the wrong
boxes.

Some time ago these gentlemen pur-
chased the Tawas & Bay County Rail
way, and afterward became the owners
of the franchise of the Bay City d
Alpena Railway Company. Since
then the articles of association of these
two companies have been so amended
as to make feasible the company just
organized, and the new articles go into
effect to-day. The Tawas & Bay
County Railroad last fall purchased
Il large number of cars, thirteen miles
of steel track and new Mogul engine
from the Baldwin Locomotive Works.
They have now 100 thirty-four and
one-fourth foot cars and twenty miles
of fifty-pound steel rails, besides or
dering a heavy Mogul engine, which
will make the fifth in the company
service. The present road, which is
twenty-eight miles long, extends from
East Tawas towards and within nine
and one-fourth miles Of Wells Station
OH the Mackinaw division of the Mich
igan Central, and this line is being re-
laid. The road has also twelve miles
of branches. The company have no
immediate plans for extending the
road to a junction with the Michigan
Central. The general business of the
road now is the hauling of logs to
Tawas. If, however, sufficient en-
enlargement is met with the line will
be extended and a passenger business
done between Wells and Tawas before
the end of this season. Should the
Oscoda and Au Sable people be will
ing to hold out the inducements for
merly offered the Bay City and Al
pcna Railroad, it is strongly probable
that the road will be completed to
Au Sable this year. The road is at
present a narrow gauge one and will
remain so, but it is being fitted with
ties of standard length, and its bridges
arc so constructed that they are suhi-
GENTLY strong to hold any sized train.
Thus it is possible to change the gauge
at any future time. The cars are all
eight feet in width and the running
gear so constructed as to make the
least possible expense in the change.
Milo Eastman, who has been for many
years connected with the Detroit,
Lansing e Northern, has been engag-
ed in the capacity of General Super
intendent, and will take charge Of the
road the present week. A. p. Nc
Caul, brother of j. G. McCaul, Secre-
tary of Alger, Smith & Co., has gone
to Tawas to take charge of the books,
finances, etc, of the company.-De-
troit Free Press.

sessed from one to three hundred dol
lars for the purpose Of paving the
street they live ON.
One of the streets, talked of for
paving, is Chisholm street, and a
great number of the Inhabitants along
said street are persons Of limited
means, and an assessment of from one
to three hundred dollars per lot would
really amount to a confscation of
eirproperty, and their financial ruin,
The question is one that should be
carefully considered by the Council,
because we understand that their
amendments will be accepted by the
Legislature. If an assessment on lots
will result in ruin to worthy citizens,
il would be better to have no pave
ment at all, and we do believe that
there is not single street in the city,
but contains property owners who
would be seriously embarrassed, if not
ruined, by an assessment Of one hun
drcd dollars every five years, in adj
dition to their usual burdens. The
city can not afford to cmbarass its cit
liens who have toiled and shaved to
procure n home for themselves and
families.
The citizens in general need some
protection against pavement of streets
that arc of local interest only, be-
cause the taxable burdens could be
made excessively burdensome by such
means. The citizens mt large must
have some protection also, and no four
men should have the powor to innict
such burdens.
We would suggest that the cost of
paving the streets be paid out Of the
general fund, same as the water works
and electric lights, and that no street
be paved until a majority of tax-pay-
ers, at special election, shall decide
that they will be taxed therefor.

Council Inauguration.

The council room was well filled
with spectators last Monday night, to
witness the doings of the new Council,
and to learn who would be the coming
appointed officers.
After the old Council had transact
ed their business, the newly elected
aldermen and the Recorder were in
stalled into their positions, each one
being introduced by his predecessor.
Mayor Churchill then made q few
we'll chosen remarks regarding what
had been done during the past two
years. OF some 100000 raised by
tax, at least $4,000 could be inven-
toried at present; the school capacity
had been increased double, and the
fire department had been fully equip
ped with all necessary apparatus; the
city had been lit by electric lights
bridge thoroughly repaired, and great
improvements made in the drainage.
The Mayor elect, Robert NJ. Donnel-
ly, was then introduced and delivered
the following address:
GENTLEMEN OF THE COUNCIL
am aware that the custom of an in
augural address has been established by
my honored predecessors, but the interval
between the election and the commence
ment of our several terms of Office is ESQ
short that have been unable to find the
necessary time to prepare such docu-
ment as l would like to present to your
honorable body. There arc few matters
however to which invite the attention
OF your honorable body.
The financial condition of the city Is
very fully set forth in the annual state
ment and report of City Treasurer pub
lished last week.
The taxes last year were unusually
heavy, and caused no little grumbling
among our taxpayers. The school tax
was unavoidably large. Additional room
was required; the demand for additional
seating capacity was imperative. The
new building in the First ward, seating
and furnishing the same, and repairs to
other buildings swelled the tax to near
$4,000. Being now well provided with
buildings and apparatus, there can, and
in my judgment should be, a large reduc-
ton In the tax for school purposes this
year. The street and sewer fund has been
considerably overdrawn. This was ne
cessitated by the condition Of the Second
street bridge-cxtensive repairs were an
imperative necessity. The work was very
fully and completely done under the super
vision OF the committee on streets and
sewers. 1t is now, in my judgment, as
good, IL not better bridge than when first
constructed, and, with the expenditure of
small sum annually for repairs, should
last for ten years. In my judgment there
is no necessity for a large street and sewer
fund this year. Clean up our streets and
alleys, and repair such streets as Taquire
IL appropriate but a small amount fog
opening new streets aud constructing new
sewers, and when the appropriation Is ex-
hausted, suspend work and do not run the
city In debt. Reports should be made OF

Valuable Prizes.

Nothing is more remarkable than
the unusual interest which has been
taken in astronomical matters by the
American public during the past two
years. To such an extent has this
been true that hundreds of people,
who formerly felt little pleasure in the
subject, now possess their telescopes
and search the heavens nightly. De-
string to still further encourage this
most laudable ambition, | offer two
hundred dollars for each comet dis.
covery made during the present year,
subject to the following conditions:
l. 1t may be discovered either by
telescope or the naked eye, but must
be unexpected, except as to the comet
of 1912, which will probably reappeal
during the year
2. The announcement of the dis
covery must be made confdentially
and exclusively (by telegraph to DIR
Lewis Swift, Director of the Warner
Observatory, Rochester, N. Y, and tC
him only. This announcement, with
the name of the discoverer, will be
Immediately cabled to Europe, an
nounced in the associated press dis
patches, and sent by special telegram
to all the leading American papers
1t is essential, in order that this may
be correctly done, that the above
specifications regarding the exclusive
communication to DIR. Swift be follow
ed to the letter.
3. The telegram must give the
time of discovery, the position, and
direction of motion if possible, suffi.
GENTLY exact to enable ut least one
other observer to find it. Three dis
interested astronomers will be selected
by DIR. Swift to beside all disputed
questions.

Great Union Victory.

Full returns of the vote cast for
State officers at the late election in
Michigan have not yet been received
but sufficient returns have been receiv'
ed to show that the Union candidates
have been elected. Champlin, foI
Supreme Judge, has an estimated
majority of 10000, and the majorties
of the other Union candidates are es-
timated at not less than 5000. The
result is a glorious victory for the
Union forces, and it had such lively
effect on our crop of ROSTERS, that
they delegated one of their number

Paving the Streets.

Election being over, the Mayor in
augurated, and the newly elected of
fcials in their places, the next thing
on the public program is the new pro-
posed city charter. The question has
already been discussed at Council
meetings and many amendments de-
termined upon. There are to be
three wards instead of five, and the
salaries of some of the officials are to
be reduced.
The question yet to be settled is the
paving business. As it stands i'll the
proposed charter, four aldermen have
the power to order streets to be paved,
and they can either assess the entire
cost on the city, or else they can as
scss half the cost on adjacent proper
ty holders, and the balance on the
city. This, it appears to us, gives too
much power to four men, and might
result in financial difficulties both to
the city and the property owners.
As we understand the charter, the
property owners who will be assessed
the one-half cost of paving the streets
in front Of their premises, have no
voice in the matter, and if this is
true, it is not right or Just.
There also seems to be general
impression that certain streets in the
city have got to be improved, either
by paving or some other plan, and
there does not appear to be a very
strong opposition to pavingsuch streets
as are of general Importance, that is,
Of Importance to all the inhabitants,
and not merely to the inhabitants of
one street. Such, for instance, are
parts of Dock, Second and. Water
streets.
On the manner in which the paving
shall be paid for, there are two par
ties. One desires that one-half the
cost of paving shall be assessed on
the property alongside the street paw
ed, and the other desires that the cost
of paving shall be assessed on the
whole city, the same as the water
works and electric lights.
The first party claims that the said
property owners are so much bene-
fitted by paved street in front of
their premises, that they should con-
tribute more towards the construction
of the pavement, than should proper.
ty owners whose lots are not on the
street that is to be paved.
The second party claims that the
streets are for public benefit, and the
public should pay for them, and they
give still stronger reason. A large
number of the property owners are
persons of limited means, and they
have hard struggles to meet all their
burdens, such as taxes, improvements,
repairs, payments on lots, and cost Of
living, and they state that If they arc
assessed the one-half cost of paving
the street in front of their premises,
that it will really amount to con-
fscation Of their homesteads. BY
hard work and self-denial they have
secured homes, some of which are
fully paid for, while many others have
yet payments to make. They do not
own teams, nor arc likely to, and the
paving of the street in front of their
premises is of more benefit to the pub
lie than to them. They do not there
fore believe that they should be as
