man Townsend will introduce In con-
gress a bill TO relieve the state of
Michigan from the payment OF large
amount OF interest claimed 20 be due
the general government on the funds
remaining in the hands OF the state
when the 500 canal was turned over
to the general government. The fed

government. II Is believed that the
bill 10 relieve the state OF the pay

about $4,000. will be passed by con
