HOME RULERS FAIL
TO AGREE As TO
BONDING LIMIT
BIG QUESTION PUT UP TO LE0iS-
LATURE BUT MICHIGAN CITIES
ARE IN UNISON ON MANY VITAL
POINTS.

The matter OF bonding limit for
cities under proposed home rule con-
ditions proved the great source of de-
bate In the home rule conference In
the council chamber, Friday afternoon.
City was arrayed against city on this
matter the present great diversity OF
limits making the interests variant.
While discussion showed that the
general trend OF sentiment was In
favor OF q limit OF about 10 per cent
there was difference OF opinion "a To
how fast the Indebtedness of cities
should be allowed to grow. and the
matter was finally put up 10 the legis-
lature TO do with as il sees fit.
Detroit at present has two per
cent limit and the extension TO ten
per cent would give this city an In
creased bonding power of $40 100000.
Saginaw now has limit Of nine per
cent and wants TO make big improve
ments. A straw as to the way the
wind will blow in Lansing was given
In the remark of Rep. Monroe that
cities should accept limit or from
four to six per cent.
In the main the suggestions drawn
up by Corporation Counsel Haily TOT
home rule bill were approved, al
though somewhat amended. Mayor
Ellis. OF Grand Rapids. secured the
adoption of a resolution declaring ~
TO be the sense OF the cities or the
state that the home rule bill shall De
short and general, leaving the cities
tC exercise the fullest measure or
possible. He de-
clared that the cities have as bright
officials as has the STATE, and that they
should not be compelled to go TO the
state capitol for legislation.
The 4ally ideas approved are: Thst
the bill should be general in It's pro.
visions: that present charters and
general and special laws shall stand
Until repealed; that charter commits
eions shall be called only by popular
vote for general revision purposes
that cities be given the right OF emin.
cnt domain; that oil bond Issues must
be approved by the neople; that not
more than two special elections be
held In one year: that cities may take
or refuse the powers granted.
The delegates could not agree upon
the matter OF city representation Oh
boards of supervisors and passed that
up to the Legislature. No agreement
could he had as to whether villages
should Lave to have 1000 or 5000 pop
ulatlon before becoming cities. An
nexation also was problem, the
whole matter being put up to the les
islature with general ommenda-
tioa that the matter be so arranged
that only the territory Immediately
affected have voice in the matter
The general sentiment seemed to bs
against the Legislature providing fer
any form OF city government In the
hill, this allowing tn, smaller cities TO
adopt the commission plan.

BREAKING UP OF HOME
CAUSED BY DRINK

HE would come home drunk and
hide his money. Then when he got
thirsty again and wanted his money
he couldn't find it. He would accuse
me Of stealing 1t, and often choked me

This was the testimony of Mrs.
Mary r. Curren. who, FRIDAY, morn-
ing. was granted divorce by Judge
Murphy from her husband. James, an
employee of the city fire department.

Joseph w. Trombley, farmer from
Warren, Mich, had left his horse and
buggy at the curb, on Fort-st. east
when William came along and Dor
rowed the vehicle, without asking
Trombley's permission. The fact that
La Blanc was very drunk, and that
the horse still wore its blanket. at
tracted the attention OF Coats and
Oldani. Coats pulled La Blanc out OF
the buggy. at Fort and Hastings-sts..
just as Trombley. all out OF breath
from his pursuit, dashed up. La Blanc
grappled with Coats. and threw him to
the ground. but Oldani rushed In and
turned the tide OF battle against La
Blanc.
The indignant owner of the rig went
with the officers To police court to get

Jeffries refused to charge La Blanc
with larceny. on account OF his con-
dition. The justice ordered that he
