May Refund Railroad Taxes.

Attorney General Bird has yielded TO
the point made by the Lake Shore
railroad in relation TO the interest on
the taxes for 1902. When the Detroit
school board succeeded in having a
new rate for railroad taxation estab-
lished. there was delay In giving no
tice TO the railroads. II has been held
that interest for that year should be
computed from April /, 1903. on the
amount OF taxes first assessed. but
only from June 1 on the increase that
resulted. Some OF the railroads paid
the full amount the auditor general
charged in his computation OF inter-
est. but they probably can get the leg
fslature 70 pay back. This will amount
10 several thousand dollars.

Of the model polling booth at city hall.
They were supposed to use the voting
machine installed there, But are charged
with having attempted to- prevail on
the voters to use ballots. AS the dis
trict is small one, all the votes could
have been registered on the machine,
and the judges could have completed

Two bills against the police depart

young women Of the East Side into the

drunkenness. Both girls are well
known and respected.
Having received an invitation to the

girl dressed as clown and the other
as tramp. For weeks the girls had
worked on their costumes, but just be.

the masquerade, but a serious attempt
to get them to walk straight failed and
they were taken to the Central police
station.
