HI n c HMAN SAYS
CRUSHED STONE
BILLS ARE OK.
COMMITTEE FAvoRs PAYMENT
BUT CONTROLLER LIKELY TO
HOLD THEM uP-cHARLEvoIx-
ST. TO BE OPENED.

The park department crushed stone
wrangle, which was an important Is
sue in the mayoralty campaign, Is
practically settled as far as the coun-
Gil is concerned. A report In favor
OF paying the accounts was submitted
by the committee, Tuesday night. and
1t will be passed, the veto OF the may.
or Notwithstanding, in the next session
of the council.
Park Commissioner Hinchman, ap-
pointed by Mayor Thompson, comes
to the front as a very important fig
ure in the settlement. But for his In.
vestigation, the report might have
been adverse.
II signed the report only because
l learned from Commissioner Hinch-
man that the amounts Of stone and
gravel received agree with the total
amounts Of the several bills" said
Chairman Grindley, Tuesday evening.
A sum of about s2.700 Is involved.
The wrangle began last summer when
Controller Doremus held up vouchers
of the Michigan Portland Cement Paw
ing Co., claiming that the city was not
getting the goods charged for. Aug.
Is, the claims and accounts commit
tee reported In favor of paying the
bills and the resolution to this effect
was vetoed by the mayor. The dis
pute has been on ever since.
Owing to a number OF difficulties
that came up, the aldermen soon found
It to be next to impossible to trace
the shipments of stone accurately.
They finally fell back on the reports
Of the park department foremen who
unloaded the stone.
Tuesday afternoon final session was
held at which Chairman Grindley Of
fered Paul G. Heinze compromise.
This was refused.
1.-The stone was lighter than agreed
on" said Grindley.
my pocketbook Is lighter than It
would be II the city had paid Its bills
on time" retorted Heinze.
A vote was taken and It resulted
in a majority declaring for the pay
ment of the bills In full. Controller
Doremus Is expected to refuse to pay
them, however, and this will mean a
suit In court.
After the vote had been taken In
committee and the aldermen were
signing with relief at having finished
the hardest job they ever had In this
line, Heinze started to explain the
whole deal. which the aldermen have
heard 40 or 80 times. There was q
scattering as IL a bomb had been plac-
ed in the midst OF the gathering.
Aid. Mcclellan will bring In a min
ority report adverse to the payment
OF the bills.
Charlevoix-st. will be opened east Of
Mt. Elliott-ave.. but the residents OF
Arndt and Hunt-sts., west OF the open
ing. will not have TO contribute to the
cost.
This was the result reached by the
council after more than an hour OF bat.
Ting Tuesday night. Every alderman
from the eastern end OF the city talk
ed on, at and around the subject and
the council voted to rescind former
resolution for the opening Of the
street. Then the aldermen who want
the opening got together and prepared
another resolution for the opening but

A FAT BABY
Usually Evidence Of Proper Feeding

Babies grow very rapidly and II
they do not get the right kind Of food
they grow backwards instead of for
wards; that is. when their food Is not
nourishing they grow thin and cross
and some of them die from the lack OF
the right kind Of food. A girl writes:
MY aunt's baby was very delicate
and was always Ill. She was not able
to nurse II and took II to one doctor
after another. but none OF them did
the child any good.
"Qne day mother told my aunt to
try 'Grape-Nuts for the baby, but she
laughed and said II the doctors
couldn't do the baby any good. how
could GrapeNuts? But mother said.
try It anyway
so my aunt put one Tablespoonful
OF Grape-Nuts In quarter cup of
hot water and when the food was soft
she added as much milk as water and
gave that to the baby.
I'm month and half you would
hardly have known that baby. Il was
so fat and thrived 30 fast. A neighbor
asked my aunt what made the baby SO
healthy and fat when only six weeks
before IL was so thin. She said
'Grape-Nuts. The neighbor got Grape
Nuts for her baby and II was soon as
fat as my aunt's child"

ANOTHER C|RCU| !
! JUDGE NEEDED
BADLY
OVER 1000 CASES ON THE DOCK
EFT, AND WORK Is PILlNG UP
MUCH FASTER THAN 1T CAN BE
DISPOSED OF.

"A year and a half Is too long to
wait before case can be brought to
trial." said well-known lawyer in dis
cussing the need OF another circuit
Judge in Wayne county. Il have just
started a case in which the plaintiff
sues for personal injuries, and l will
consider myself lucky If l get that
case to trial during $1909."
There are now on the docket In tho
circuit court almost 1000 cases, and
this number Is increasing rapidly, al
least a half dozen new cases being
fled daily. That is faster than the
six judges are grinding them out, and
the time In which a case can be
brought. to hearing IL thus becoming
longer.
The last addition to the bench was
made In 1899, when the sixth Judge
was added. Since then Detroit has
grown rapidly. Immense industries
have been established. the street cal
service extended. and new street open
ed, all of which has added greatly Il
the work OF the court. That the
judges recognize the need OF another
Judge is shown by the call Tor help
sent out recently. Judge Dodds and
Judge Lockwood will be brought to
Detroit during December to hear sew
eral important cases in which big
interests are at stake.
The judges recognize the need OF
help" said a member OF the bench
but We don't want to suggest the ap
poiptment. II would appear that VIC
were trying to avoid work, and we
would rather have the county officials
make the first move. We have
done everything we can to expedite
the work of the court, but We can.
not keep up with II.
