of John G.. Owen and the saw-mill, salt
block, and lumber yard of Brown &
Ryan, all of which were totally de-
stroyed. The losses include planning

"A little bitter with the sweet is Of
tentimes a good teaching, says letter
from Saginaw. In other words, Saginaw
people have for some time been highly
elated over the good effects that would
accrue from consolidation, and without
stopping to think of some of the possi-
bilities of bitches in the carrying out Of
the many good things promised as re-
suit of the union of the two cities, they
receive with much astonishment the
news that the question of erecting a city
hall at cost not exceeding 1926, 900 is
temporarily in doubt, by reason Of bill
of restraint being filed in the matter in
the Circuit Court by +. w. Carlisle, a
prominent East Slider. The case will
undoubtedly wind up in the Supreme
Court, and many days must necessarily
go by before the question is settled.
