Many sections of the county now say
that they are willing that Odessa

that Odessa will come to the conven-

tooth and nail for that mans nomi-

There was a very large attendance
of members at the special meeting of
Belding Lodge No, 1855 f & A. NJ.
Saturday evening to assist in and wit
ness the work of the master mason
degree, Worshipful Master, Chas. A.
Ireland who is about to move to Ionia
conducted the work.
Several brothers from Greenville
lodge were present, among them be-

the session these brothers we're called
udon and all spoke in complimentary
terms regarding the excellent man
ner in which the brethren here do the
initiatory work. There was big
surprise in store for Mr. Ireland, and
was sprung on him by Henry j. Leon
ard at an opportune time and which
added an enjoyable feature to the oc-
casion.
Mr. Leonard in one OF the finest lit
tie speeches he ever made, presented
Mr. Ireland with a SO diamond ring
masonically engraved in behalf of the
lodge as a slight token of their friend
ship and the esteem in which he is
held. Mr.. Ireland wasn't expecting
any occurance of the kind but in
very felicitious manner made a fine
response in thanking the brothers for
the gift which he would prize very
highly.
The presentation and the response
also were loudly applauded. A fine

GRASP OPPORTUNITY
May Now Have Water Works
system.
Proposition To Grant Franchise
Sheuid BE Carried at Coming
Election.

The opportunity is now presented
to the citizens Of Belding TO open the
way whereby we may secure the in
stalling OF complete water works
system for the entire city.
There are several responsible COM
panies who stand ready TO put in a
system at their own expense provided
a thirty year franchise be granted,
they are willing to chance an outlay
of from sixty to eighty thousand dol
lars, and for this privilege our people
should offer them the chance at once,
without any quibbling over the mat
ter.
The expression of the voters should
be unanimous in comforting upon the
council the authority to contract with
some company to do this thing. An
expenditure of so large sum of
money ia its construction means a
great deal to the business men and
the laboring men of our city. 1t
means also large saving to property
owners who carry insurance on stock
and buildings, as the rate would be
fixed considerably lower by companies,
doing business here than at present.
The Banner had the pleasure of an
interview this week with Z f. Willis,
an insurance Inspector of Chicago
J who was hre in the interests of sew
eral companies, regarding the fixing
of rates, stated that cities and towns
with complete water works systems
were rated much lower than those
without protection, and that it would
be saving Of from ten TO twenty per
cent TO our citizens in this important
item alone He also stated that a
difference in rating was made where
the system had direct or gravity pres
