4 STATEMENT OF EXPENDITURES.
How the Proceeds Of the Bend
Issue have been spent.

There has been more or
less discussion going on the
past few days about the way
in which the proceeds of the
$4,000 bond issue have
been expended. The Council
has been criticized or com
mended. according TO the
way n person looked at the
matter. 1t has en- been
asserted that the City Coun-
eil has spent $4,000 in ex-
cess OF the bond issue, and
that the whole transaction
Is a complete middle.
Knowing that the people
were more interested thar
anybody else, We sucured
the statement that follows.
and IL i approximately cor
rect. II appears from this
that the facts in the case do
not bear out street rumOrs
The Council has probably
exceeded the $50 600 bond
issue. but If IL has il has 81
cured more public improve
ments. and hence the tax
payers are not out anything.
The following Is n statement
from Trustworthy authority,
but the official statement
may change it one way or
the other:

aged 81, died after living ten months
without any bones on the right side of
his body, lying fiat on his back during
the entire time, his fight against death
for nearly a year providing a new won
der for the world of medicine.
Mr.. Schwartz was afflicted with a
tumor three years ago. He underwent
an operation. This was unsuccessful
and three other operations followed
within the two years following. Last
summer his condition became so seri-
GUS that his physicians decided an
other operation was all that could pro-
long his life.
A like attempt had never been per
formed. Physicians found that all the
bones on the right side Of the trunk
were diseased and must be removed
TO insure a continuance of life. Tir'
operation was held Oct last at tshe
Detroit sanitarium, and was Witnessed
by physicians from all over Michigan
medical students and members OF the
medical profession from adjoining
states. All the ribs on the right side,
the collar bone, the breastbone part
Of the hip and shoulder blade were re-
moved and the patient was left with
out any frame for his right side.
Mr.. Schwartz recovered, but was
never able to lie In any other position
than on his back. His fortitude was
declared marvellous by all physicians
