NO LIGHT; AN ARGUMENT
MORE EQUIPMENT NEEDED
Board of Public Works Feels that Ina
biIty to Light Streets Early in tine
Evening, Shows Need of Greater Ca
pacity at Plant.

The Board of Works feels that the
conditions now confronting the city
with regard to the inability To light
the streets early in the evening, be
cause of the heavy pressure on the SER
vice, occasioned by commercial light
ing, vindicateS in the fullest the arg,I.
ment made months ago for increased
capacity. Opposition to the installa
tion of new machinery was based on
the ground that the plants capacity
was not over crowded and that the ma.
chinery in use was capable of carrying
a much heavier load. However,, tie
new machinery was ordered, the bust
ness has been growing continuously
and now with the old equipment. still
in use, the city finds itself unable to
meet requirements. The Board has
received information from the General
Electric Company. that the new uLit
for Richmond's city plant is now up-
dergoing test and will be shipped in
the course of a few days.

All But Five Per Cent. of Taxes
on Duplicates Collected in
Wayne County.
MOST EVASION IN TOWNS
LIST OF TOWNSHIPS AND COR
PORATIONS GIVEN, SHOWING
TAXES DUE AND THE AMOUNT
WHICH WAS UNPAID.

That the collection of taxes on per
sonal property and realty in Wayne
County during the year has been the
closest in a long period is in evidence
by an analysis of the returns of the
treasurer as shown by the settlement
sheets compiled by County Auditor
Hanes and his deputies.
AS stated in the Palladium yester
day the amount of taxes collected or
the duplicate at the November in
stallment was $3.50, 1924. The
amount collected in May was 1852,
70S.67. The total collected was $613,
177S1. The assessed valuation for
the county shows that on that basis
there was due the county in taxes at
the two installments the sum of S614.
10S.32. The delinquencies in the ag
gregate reach s2S,5040S, less than
per cent Commonly the estimate OF
delinquencies is 10 per cent. Wayne
county goes on record below the fixed
standard.
In Richmond and other incorporat-
ed towns in the county the per cent
age of delinquencies is heavier that
of the city of Richmond being in eX-
cess of 20 per cent, this being due to
the failure of many persons to pay
personal taxes. In the rural districts,
however, the disposition to evade the
payment of personal taxes is not SO
pronounced and as a result the def
cheney in the towns is made up to a
great extent, thus giving a per cent.
delinquency.
The following table will show (by
townships and corporations) the
amount of taxes charged against each
and the total amount unpaid in each.

Star Tackle viii Lead EarIham
on Gridir0n During Season
of 1907.
CHOICE WAS UNANIMOUS
PROSPECTS FOR TEAM NEXT
YEAR ARE MUCH BRIGHTER
THAN AT THE BEGINNING OF
THE PRESENT SEASON.

Glenn Thistlethwaite, of Horton
vile, Ind, was elected captain of the
Earlham football team for 1907, at a
meeting of the football players last
night in Coach Wilson's room at the
college. Thistlethwaite has played
two years on the team at tackle. He
is star at his position and very pop
ular with the students. He was the
unanimous choice of the players.
Earlham's prospects for next year are
much better than they were at the be-
ginning of the present season. The
team will be practically the same as
this year with the exception of Gro
yer Grimes and Hawk who will grad
uate.
Prof F. p Trueblood will give a
banquet for. the team at his residence
on Central Avenue Friday evening.
There will be about forty at the af-

Great Explosion Occurs as
Cage of Men Are Being
Lowered Into Mine.
BODIES CAN'T BE FOUND
WORST DISASTER THAT HAS
VISITED COPPER REGION FOR
YEARS SHOCKS TOWN OF
HoUGHToN, MICH.
Publishers Press.y

Houghton, Mich, Dec. 5.-Forty
miners are believed to have been
blown to atoms in the Quinby mine
tonight as the result Of an explosion
of the powder magazine, located on
the first level Of the Messard No. 8
shaft. The men were being lowered
to work. forty Of them occupying
seats in the large cage used to lower
the men underground. Just as the
cage was passing the first level, one
hundred feet below the surface the
dynamite storesi in the magazine ex-
pioded, sending forth death and des-
truction. Absolutely no trace Of the
forty men can be found and they
were evidently blown to pieces at tho
first shock.
Many other men were at work In
the mine at the time of the explosion
and it is thought that all are lost.
What caused the explosion 10 not
known but it is the worst disaster OF
the kind that has visited the copper r
country for years.
