~ young city OF Ludington
This town which. like many other
Michigan towns, frat felt the impulse
OF activity during the early develop
ment of the numbering interests OF the
state. has been chiefly known to the
world ss . lumber market. The diver
sity OF It's industries and natural aud
acquired resources has not been fully
known or appreciated. Today, with
population of 10000 persons; with
manufactures producing many OF the
staple products known to commercial
industry; with q hsrbor unequslled 10y
any other on the west shore of Lake
Michigan; with railway facilities.
schools, churches and all accessories of
modern living, the city stands on a par
with the cities of the West-their equal
IN all respects-and asks of the great
Eastern and European markets the
recognition to which the geographical
situation and industrial importance en-
title it. Ludington OF today is q type
of the progressive and aggressive West.
TIE success OF its past Is secure and the
city looks TO the future with confidence
and determination.

The comptroller presented without

company was put by order of c. w.

Mr.. Carmnn and by Alderman Frost.
The bill was referred TO tue committee

There can be no valid reason as

The conduct OF the business of the

inexperienced and careless, are dele

requiring the utmost skill and legal
ability. A change is needed in the
methods Of this Office.
Sheriff Mcqueen has showed . Ia

his petty jealousiss and wrauglings with
