SHOULD CALL IN PERSON.
Duty Of Treasurers in Cases Of Non
Payment of TaSes.

I For the purpose of collecting taxes
remaining unpaid on January 10th,
treasurers shall thereafter during the
month call personally upon such per-
son liable to pay such taxes, and if a
resident Of such township at his usual
place of residence or business and de-
mand payment Of the taxes charged
against him. If not in the township
but in the county or adjoining county
demand must be made personally or
by mail.
This is the tenor Of the Michigan
law on the collection of taxes for
township, village and city treasurers.
IL is rather significant at this time of
the year The law has been tested and
upheld by the supreme court of the
state. the test case coming up from
Muskegon.
According to the law it is obligatory
upon the part of the treasurer to
make a personal visit to the taxpayer
and demand payment of such amounts
as are unpaid on the books OF course
he has no means of enforcing his de-
mands other than to return the tax
as delinquent but it is for the pur-
pose Of making the treasurers display
greater care i'm their work than other
wise would be the case.
The rigid enforcement of the law
has never been noted, for no treasurer
has been called upon to make up the
amount represented by the delinquent
personal property tax. or course it
would have to be proven that the
treasurer did not comply with the law
and make a personal visit to the par
ties whose taxes have been returned
as delinquent

TO TAKE CENSUS OF FRENCH
Well Attended Meeting Here Yesterday
Of French Naturalization Society
Committee From Several Districts
Named to Look After Census - To
Increase Citizenship.

There was a well attended meeting
OF the several French societies affiliat

olution To the effect that a census b,

county, with a view TO ascertaining the
exact number of citizens, and to en-
deavor To get those who are not al
ready citizens TO become voters at
their earliest convenience.
The society is determined to secure
as many voters as possible. To this
end committee of three from the dis
triets of Lake Linden. Dollar Bay, Han
cock, Houghton, and Calumet was
named, whose duty it will be to take
the census of French residents, and re-
port on the same at the annual meet
ing OF the society to be held in May of

but no action was taken.
a prominent member of the French
society told The News this morning
that he did not believe that any afhl-
iation viii take place, the French and
their descendants preferring to work
out plans to secure voters i'm their own
way. 1t is known that there are "A
large number of residents of French
descent who are not voters and who
have never taken any steps to become
such. In order to get these Indifferent
ones interested, and use their prerog-
alive as voters at the coming spring |

to use every legitimate means |
within its power.

NO COMBINATIONS.
SO Say Politicians Referring to Bur-
rows and Osborn Candidates..

Politicians discussing tho situation
relative to the state primary cam
paign point TO the fact that there is as
yet little to indicate any alliance be-
tween the Burrows and Osborn forces.
says the Lansing Republican. Up in
the eighth district the supporters of
Mr.. Osborn are also the supporters of
Senator Burrows, but IT, is asserted
that a similar condition does not pre-
vail in any other district and as a
matter of fact. Burrows men in one
district the fourth, are claimed as sup
porters of Kelley.
In the eighth, Vaughan of the st.
Johns Republican is friendly to both
the senator and Mr.. Osborn; this is
true of the Owosso Argus and the Sag
inaY Courier Herald, it is said, but IL
is not considered the result of any al
lance, but rather of the decision of
each paper regarding the respective
candidates for the senatorship and the
eXecutiveship. In the other districts
there has been no attempt to line up
combinations. it is said, and the con-
gressmen have kept their hands off the
state campaign as the safest way to
avoid any engagement which might
lead later to their own undoing.
