CASH ROAD TAX LAW.
Commissioner Earle Explains Nature
Of Law and Asks Support
Of People.

Some newspapers have told the
people through their columns that now
Earle has the cash road tax law fastened
onto the people "the man who lives on
the by-roads will not get dollars
worth of repairs, for the township
highway commissioner will expend it all
on the main au- TO- mo-ble-r-o-a-d-s.
The truth of'the matter is that never
in :the history of Michigan did the
by-road taxpayer have such protection
as he has under the cash road tax law,
for 1t says in the law-"The road repair
fund must be expended on the road
directly beneftting the property
taxed. 1t further says that if ten tax
payers think the commissioner is not
doing this. it is their right to protest
to the township board, and the board
must look into the matter and decide
which is right, and order how the work
shall be done.
The bill is a home-rule bill, giving the
townships the right to say how much
they will raise in both the road repair
and highway improvement funds,
although it limits the amount of each
fluid to one-half of one per cent.
The township board has the right to
borrow three fourths Of the fund voted,
so the highway commissioner can pay
cash for work done; one-fourth may be
reserved for emergency repairs and
taking care Of snow In the winter time.
The highway commissioner can hire
men in different sections Of the town.
ship to look after snow in winter and
pay them for their work.
1t would be wonder II man could
draw perfect bill the first time, and
Commissioner Earle does not expect
that he did, 30 he asks the citizens Of
the state to stand by the township
commissioner and help them along, and
where defects appear. to write to the

SCORE OF CHILDREN PERISH.
Schoolhouse At North collinwood. q
Suburb OF Cleveland, o., Is the
Scene Of an Awful Sacrifice
OF Human Life.

Death in one of its most terrible forms
claimed between one hundred and sixty
and one hundred and seventy school
children Of North Collinwood school at
Collinwood, an eastern suburb We'd
nesday, when the building, catching
fire from defective furnace in the
basement, was wrecked in half an hour.
The building being inadequately pro-
tected by fire escapes, the children were
unable to make their way to the lower
floors in time to escape the flames as
they shot up from the basement and
cut off egress.
But when the panic-stricken little ones
in the upper rooms attempted to make
their way to the stairway the jam OF
uncontrolled and fear-stricken children
grew until but few were able to extricate
themselves and they perished almos,
within reach of safety.
Nearly all of the children were killed
in mess at the first floor door, which
finally was opened by men from the
Lake Shore railway shops who hurried
to the scene. A wall of flame had formed
across it, and most of the children already
were dead by the time the doors
swung open.
At midnight there were one hundred
and sixty-five bodies in the morgue, OF
which 108 had been identified. 1t is
possible that other bodies will be found
in the ruins, as at least thirteen children
are still missing and have not been heard
from since the fire.

FISHERMAN HARD HIT.
Chsneint Of Mesh For Deep WsteI
Tishin6 curtails Operations In
Lake Superior Waters.

The law changing the size of the
mesh in nets for deep water fishing il
raising havoc with commercial fisher
men and operations the coming season
in Lake Superior waters will be curtailed
to quite an extent.
1t has driven the Lake Superior Fish
company out of business and its outfit,
consisting Of the steam tug Hoffnung,
gasoline tug Lloyd-May, nets, ETC., is
offered for sale.
The reason for this is that large
proportion of the company's nets are
useless and In order to operate it would
be necessary to spend several thousand
dollars for new ones or transfer to
either Wisconsin or Minnesota waters.
Apprehensive lest a subsequent
Legislature might make another change
in regard to the size of the net, they
do not care to assume the additional
expense for new nets, nor does it feel
like transferring its base of operations
to Wisconsin or Minnesota. Rather than
resort to either expedient it has decided
to permanently suspend the industry.
-Ontonagon Herald.
The law provides that the mesh for
deep lwater fishing shall be q or n
inches instead of 81 inches. These nets
are for use in from rs to It's fathoms
of water for catching blue fins and
the reduction in the size of the nets is
claim I'd by the fish department to prevent
the taking of under size. white fish and
trout.
Fishermen point out that trout and
white fish do mot live at such depths
and that the change in the mesh will
work an injury in that the nets will
now hold the smaller blue finn and
eventually clean them out.
Reports are to the effect that some
Marquette fishermen are going to fight
out the legality Of the change in the
courts, contending that there is no
justice in law which will not add
protection to the fish and at the same
time damage the fishermen to the
extent Of thousands of dollars.
