Some Detroit members are again
discussing the possibility that Wayne
county may be given an additional rep
resentative and perhaps one more
senator in the apportionment bill that
must be passed during the present
session of the legislature.
The bill providing that the state
shall aid the Daughters of the War of
1872 in the erection of a monument to
Gen. Macomb at Detroit is making
good progress. 1t was agreed to
unanimously by the senate in commit
tee of the whole.
The senate at the evening session
on Wednesday passed the bill giving
the Houghton College of Mines 100000
for each Of the next two years for
maintenance; 1000 for additional
land; $43, 800 for a heating and light
ing plant and 81 500 for a storage
plant. The bill was given immediate
effect. II is the biggest appropriation
bill thus far passed and was given
preference over all others.
Among the bills agreed to by the
senate in committee OF the whole was
one providing for examination and
licensing of public accountants. An
other bill which calls for the licensing
of opticians has been introduced in
the house by Representative Turner
of Muskegon. Ii would create a board
of five members. to be appointed by
the governor, who are to be paid So
for each day actually spent in the
work of the board, and two cents for
each mile travelled Only those who
have reached the age of II are to be
eligible for examination Each is TO
pay the board $40 upon making appli-
cation for examination, and So more if
the certificate is issued TO him. Each
licensed optician is 10 pay the board
81 per year as a license fee. The bill
does not say the fees shall be paid
into the state treasury but provides
reports shall be made to the governor
as TO moneys collected and disburse
ments.
Senator Heine, Of Bay, had passed
in the upper house his bill placing
trading stamp concerns under the SUI
pervision of the banking commission
er and providing for the cash redemp-
ton of the stamps. Heine explained
that his bill would put out of business
two of the trading stamp concerns
now operating in Michigan. Before the

acquainted with were making about
40 per cent on their transactions.

 can.
 curious and unusual phenomenon In the form of a rainbow for which the moon instead of the sun furnished tue light, was observed here on the night of June 19.
 heavy rainstorm, accompanied by considerable thunder, occurred just be. fore moonrise. As the clouds retired to the west the luminary rose and the DOW was first observed, only the ex- tremities for about 25Ndegrees being visible, the moon at that time being concealed behind small cloud. For about twenty minutes the bow in. creased in brightness, and at the end of that time could be clearly traced throughout it's entire length. At each eLd the red and blue colors could be plainly distinguishd, but the remain. der of the arc showed only as light streak across the clouds.
 The conditions for the phenomenon were almost ideal, the moon being but a few days past full, the cloud screen occupying the proper position, and, as it occurred just at moonrise, the bow was seen well up in the heavens. After the clouds has almost entirely melted away, leaving only slight haze through which the stars shone, DOT tions of the bow could still be clearly discerned.

BOARD WILL MEET
 ON MONDAY NIGHT City Attorney Boyd May Make
 Important Report ASK FOR REIMBURSEMENT
School Board of EnsIey is not Satisfied With the New Apportionment of General Public School Fund.
 Increased Population.

Ensley July 29.-(Special )-rhe school board of Ensley will meet in regular ses- sion next Monday night, and it is ex- pected that the meeting will be a very important one.
 City Attorney Romaine Boyd, who was employed some time ago by the board to investigate the matter of reduction of the appropriation of tEe public school fund for Ehsiey, will likely make a re- port and recommend some action.
 The school board of Ensley feels that it has been unjustly treated in the re- adjustment of appropriations and seeks to have the matter remedied.
 While the school population of Ensley is considerably increased over last year and the general fund larger. the appro- priation given the public schools of Ensley is less by more than s1200 than the ap- propriation of last year.
 This reduction is in accordance of the ruling of the state attorney general and state school superintendent in the interest of the weaker schools in the country dis tricts, and while Ensley is willing to yield a reasonable amount for this pur- pose, 1t is contended that the cut is too great, and therefore unjust.
 It Is not known what steps will be taken in the matter, but some decision will no doubt be made by the board at it's meeting Monday night.
 Personal and General.
 Mayor Scott is devoting a great deal of his attention to the cleaning of the streets and alleys of the city. While he has no immediate cause to fear the spread of yellow fever to this district he is taking every precaution to put the city in a thorough sanitary condition.
 The members of the Ensley fire depart- ment will hold a meeting at their hall Monday night and will discuss the needs of the department. The officials are con- sidering the advisability of increasing the department and establishing new sta- ton on Palmer Terrace.
 pr. w. D. Fonville, who recently grad uated from the medical department of Tulane university, has opened an office | in Ensley in the Avert Pharmacy build ing at the corner of Avenue E and Nine teenth street. He Is a brother of F. G. Fonvllle, city tax collector.
