Mayor Parkill recently discovered
that there was no provision in the city
charter requiring the mayor to counter
sign orders drawn on the city treasurer
by the city clerk. Years ago Owosso
had city auditor whose work it was to
sign the orders; the charter was after
wards changed and it became the duty
Of the mayor to do this work. By a
change in the charters of fourth class
cities made by the legislature four years
ago only the signature of the clerk is
needed to make orders good. Just why
the last change was made would puzzle
any one to tell unless perchance some
city had mayor too lazy to sign
the orders or too careless to care wheth-
er orders were correctly drawn or not.
For the protection of the city's interest
the council should at once pass an
ordinance requiring the mayors sigma
ture to all orders. No one should in
sist on this more strenuously than the
city clerk.

CITY NEWS
LOWRY DEMANDS HASTE.
SAYS HE MUST WITHDRAW FILL
TRATION PLANT SITE UNLESS
IMMEDIATE ACTION rs TAKEN.

Unless the city takes some definite
action with regard to the construction
Of filtration plant at Columbia
Heights very soon, Thomas Lowry will
withdraw his offer to donate whatever
land may be required In a letter to-
day to Andrew Rinker. city engineer,
MI. Lowry calls attention to the fact
that on Sept. l6, 1904, he offered to
deed to the city the title to sixty acres
of land near the reservoir on condition
Of the construction of filtration plant.
TO this communication he says he re-
ceived no reply. The matter must be
taken up at once, he says.
The announcement Of Mr.. Lowry's
gift, when the agitation in favor of
the filtration plant was under way was
received with much pleasure by those
engaged in the work. The tract at
that time was valued at $1,000 an
acre. AS Mr.. Lowry had given forty
acres for the original reservoir, and the
city had signally, failed to macadahl-
ize and park the road leading to the
public spirited.
There is nothing that the city cou1l.
ell can do at the present time, as it
has no funds nor method to get any.
The agita ton in favor of purihca-
ton plant has been dropped.
It is not Mr.. Lowry's intention to
take any advantage of the unfortunate
conditions. He is willing to stand by
his offer, but wants some assurance
that definite action will be taken with
in reasonable length Of time.
