Street Commissioners Fees

EDITOR HERALD:-As shown by your
published report of the city auditors inves-
tigation of the accounts and doings of the
street commissioners, it would seem to
have been the prevailing practice of street
commissioners under the friendly guild
ance of that enterprising clerk, W. q.
Schneider (once militia colonel in times of
profound peace), not only to appropriate
to their own use and to that of this thrifty
clerk, all the money collected from assess
ments against property owners over and
above what had been allowed in the mat
ter. but also to collect enough from prop
erty owners to make it certain that there
would be sum to thus illegally and sur
reptitiously appropriate.
In the case of Thirtieth street, the COM
missioners put S73 extra into their report
to pay for recording deeds and incidental
expenses in closing ,he matter. But by
some process of legerdemain unknown to
your correspondent, there was collected
and put to the credit of said Thirtieth
street widening fund, as shown by the city
treasurer's books, at least 1925 more than
the report OF the commissioners filed in
the case and approved. by the city
council, called for, and authorized.
And this amount of 1925, in addition to
what they had been allowed by the coun-
Gil, these worthy commissioners and their
enterprising clerk quietly put into their
own pockets, besides dissipating the $73
extra allowed as before stated. Whether
those other surplus sums in the different
street cases you published were collected
of the property owners in addition to the
sums assessed, as shown by the reports, by
some method of jugglery with the reports,
so as to have a surplus 10 gobbIe up. |
have not examined to see and can only
surmise. The attempted explanation that
the surplus was used for recording deeds,
advertising. ETC., will moi stand, for war;
rants were drawn for these in the Thirtie,h
street case 10 the recorder. and for adver.
tisiug. Let the investigation be thorough
and complete and the guilty ones punished.

stand as the perennial advocates Of un
limited annexation and interminable
foreign ENHANCEMENT.
1t is indeed the primary func-
tion of government "to defend
the internal and external peace
of the country against disturbances
and the government that in the pres
ence Of pressing and disturbing domes.
tic problems, such as both the German
empire and the United States are fac.
ing, goes trailing around the world for
additional responsibilities, is neglect
ful of its first duties and imperils the
safety and prosperity of It's people
Every foreign ENHANCEMENT and inter-
national duplication defers the proper
consideration of home questions, the
solution of which are essential to the
peace and happiness of the people that
have become thus involved.
The advent of social salvation has
been postponed for centuries in Eu-
rope by the distractions of interns-
tionsl disputes and warfare. The
minds of the people have been contin-
ually diverted from the glaring injus-
tices Of the governmental systems un-
der which they existed, by wars and
rumors of wars. and these threatened
or actual conflicts have invariably
been the results of attempts to ''pro-
mote foreign enterprises" In the
name of patriotism the various peoples
of Europe have been kept in a condi-
tion of constant antsgonism to each
other, and time and again popular dis
content with domestic affairs has been
quieted by adopting the Napoleonic
method of pitting the restless populace
against the foreign foe.
Emperor Williams present attitude
on the Transvaal matter, it is altogether
probable, is inspired by motives en-
tirely different from those that are ap-
parent. The undercurrent of disaffec-
ton as expressed in the socialistic
propaganda has in all likelihood more
to do with his readiness to violate the
treaty which permits England to ex-
ercise suzerainty of the Transvasl than
any fear of the extension of English
power in far away Africa. Finding the
expedients of despotism inadequate for
the suppression of home-brewed dissat-
isfaction he attempts to stamp it out
by grandiloquently and dramatically
invoking the spirit of patriotism and
assuming that distant interests of the
empire are threatened by English ag-
gression.
1t is improbable, however, that the
German people will permit themselves
to be hurled into destructive war at
the behest of this modern apostle of
absolutism. The good, hard sense
that is 80 conspicuous in the German
makeup will be felt in time to prevent
real physical conflict with nation with
which they are so closely identified
socially and commercially.
And the same kind of wisdom that
will hold in check the ambitious and
arrogant William will put the quietus
on the spectacular politicians of this
country who are endeavoring to OBJ
scure the economic issues at home by
fapdoodle dissertations on the glory
and policy of the United States acquir-
ing territory tanned and untamed with
out end, regardless of whether the &C.
quisition be through fraud, force or
purchase.

overcoat department was moved from
the first floor to this basement. This
change gave the firm temporary relief.
But now after period of three more
years they are again confronted by a
lack of room to accommodate their
growing business and another change
is necessary.
Our citizens in daily passing down
Huron avenue have no doubt noticed
the handsome new brick building be-
ing erected where Browns bakery and
several other wooden buildings for
merly stood. On noticing this inn
provement being made during these
hard times, has it ever occurred to you
what necessitated the erection of this
building. 1t was this: AS has been
described, l.. Higer d Sons business
has grown beyond the limits of its
present location and new quarters were
thus made necessary. This building IS
being erected for them and when it Is
ready for occupancy, will be the home
of the clothing business of that enter
prising firm.
The building is fifty feet in width
and ninety feet in depth. 1t will be
three stories in height and every foot
of space from roof to basement will be
devoted to the requirements of this
firm. The building is expected to be
ready for occupancy by December first
next. The different floors of the
building will be connected by an inn
proved passenger elevator.
A representative of the News was
told today in an interview with men,
Der of the firm that the entire stock of
goods now on hand was to be disposed
of before the removal takes place and
that they intend to occupy their new
quarters with an entire new stock of
goods. This means bargains for our
citizens who wish to purchase anything
in their line.-Port Huron News.

AN ENTERPRISING FIRM.
A New Building Being Erect.
ed for l.. Higer g. Sons.
A Brief History of that Firms Bus
ness Career.

The growth of a successful business
house furnishes an interesting history.
1t is interesting to notice how the start
was made, first on a comparatively
small scale and later by close atten-
ton to the details, the proportions of
the business commences to increase
and larger quarters are needed. Then
again as the years pass by this same at
tention to the details makes q constant
increase in the business until another
enlargement of quarters is necessary.
This is substantially the history of the
firm of l.. Higer q Sons, clothing deal
ers of Port Huron.
About ten years ago this enterprising
firm started in the clothing ana gents
furnishing business at 316 Huron Ave.
The firm remained in that location
about two years when it was found
that the quarters we're too small, and
their Establishment was removed to its
present location at 202 Hhron Ave.
This building was soon filed with
goods and the firm of l.. Higer 4 Sons
was on the high road to prosperity.
For five years the first floor of the
building answered for the purposes of
their business, but by this time they
again became cramped in the size of
their quarters and another enlarge
ment was necessary. This time the
enlargement was made without the
necessity of changing their location.
The basement was refitted and the

a REMARKABLE CAMPAIGN.


Another battle of ballots has been
fought and won, and whether the hand
of providence guided the victors to a
result that shall be ultimately for the
greatest good to the greatest number,
or whether, as the vanquished claim,
the ingenuity of wealth and corporate
greed, has again triumphed over right,
remains to be determined by the com
ing four years of national experience.
The general supposition is that under
a settled financial policy and the nat
ural inclination of the president-elect
and his party toward protection to
American industries, business will be
stimulated into early activity. Let the
result be as it may, there is no doubt
but that the recent political campaign
from many standpoints, was the most
remarkable one ever waged in this
country.
To begin with the republican party
for years has been the avowed friend
of the white metal, and most of the
party leaders had placed themselves on
record as denunciators of demonetiza-
ton. Notwithstanding all of this at
the st. Louis convention they not only
nominated VIM. Mckinley, a sill
yer man, for president, but at the
same time they adopted a plank in
their platform which substantially de-
clared for gold standard. Then be-
gan the pyrotechnlc display. The
mighty silver champion, Senator Teller,
with tears glistening in his eyes, first
denounced, then renounced his party
then with his band of western dele
gates, bolted the convention.
After this came the stormy, sensation
al scenes of the Chicago Convention.
The wonderful speech of Bryan, in
which he alluded to Mckinley in the
following language:-"AtS st. Louis the
other day they nominated man for
president who boasts that he looks like
Napoleon. But he shudders when he
remembers that he was nominated on
the anniversary of the battle of Water
loo, and already he hears the surges as
| they dash OH the rock-bound coast of
st. Helena"
His dramatic nomination followed,
and then came the most wonderful
personal canvass ever made by candi-
date for president. He travelled far
ther than to encircle the globe, and
made over three thousand speeches.
On the other hand the republican
campaign began at a disadvantage for
there was a decided tendency of the
masses toward silver and the magnetic
Bryan. But a liberal use of campaign
literature from the pens of the bright
est authors and writer's of the country,
the assistance of almost every metro
politan newspaper in the country, and
magnificent managerial ability coupled
with sufficient financial resources, re-
converted the masses, drew them from
their idols and carried the day for Nc
Kinley and his party.
And now just word of the man
whose star sank last Tuesday evening
from the political armament where il
had moved more like meteor during
the last three months. No matter
whether or not he ever succeeds to any
high place or preferment, his name
will live in the annals of American his
tory as one of the most wonderful men
of the present age. Wonderful for his
matchless oratory, his pure and lofty
character, his indomitable will and tre'
mendous physical energy; attributes
seldom found to such marked degree
combined in one individual.
