THE TINES does not feel disposed to con-
tinually criticise the council, but yet it does
think that much of the criticism heard rela-

the present stringency we do not think it
necessary for the city to pay such rate.

pears that he bought license from city
alderman who was acting in the absence of
the clerk, and got it so cheap that some one
decided that it was no license at all, hence
his arrest. He has engaged two Bay City
lawyers to handle his case.
Frank E. Malcomson living with his
father John S. Malcomson at 664 North
Washington st. this city died Tuesday
evening July IL, of typhoid fever, after
all HlneSS vi turee WeckS. uc luilerdl
took place at the house Thursday morning
at o'clock, conducted by Pastor Reitzel of
the Congregational church. The remains
were taken to Saranac for interment. Frank
would have been 81 years old 3Oth of Aug
being born in Saranac in 1872. Shortly
after coming to this city from Elsie few
years ago, he entered Curry's hardware
store and worked so faithfully for the last
two years that he was endeared to the
proprietor and his patrons. As a young
man Mr.. Malcomson was very highly
by all who knew him and beloved
by those who were intimate with him, so
that in his death the city loses one of its
and most promising young
men. Much sympathy is expressed with
the family and especially with the father
who must feel most keenly the removal of
this son of whom he justly could expect so
much.
