BOUTWELL,
HOLDS OVER
Will Be Drain Commissioner Until
Jan. |, 1911. Drain Law Changes
Office to Salary Basis and
Elective by People Instead of
Board of Supervisors.

John Boutwell, will be County Drain
Commissioner until Jan. 1, 1911, with
out further election. He will draw q
salary during the year 1910 instead OF
fees as at present. He will not have
to determine as to.the advisability OF
necessity for drains being laid after
Sept. 1, that duty being thrown upon
the township boards. The amount Of
his salary for 1910 will be fixed by the
Board of Supervisors at the October
session. An assistant is also to be paid
by the county.
The drain commissioner who fills the
office after Jan. 1, 1911, must be nomi-
mated by the primary method Sept. /,
1910, by the political parties and elected
at the November election in 1910 and
he will hold Office for four years.
This all comes as result of the
changes in the drain law by the legis-
lature of 1909 and relieves the board OF
supervisors of this county from the
duty of choosing a drain commissioner
from list of five or six popular men
who were to be candidates

McGorry Convicted.

Attorney J. Fl. Collins of Corunna,
especially, and large number of peo-
pie throughout Michigan are much
pleased at the conviction in Detroit
Wednesday of one of the McGorry
brothers, the famous Detroit horse
traders. They have escaped punish
ment for years for doubtful transac-
tions and laughed at Mr.. Collins when
he had them arrested for conspiracy
to defraud. Allan H. Frazer, their
attorney, one of the most prominent in
Detroit, thought or acted as though he
was equally sure of clearing the fell
lows on their deal with Perry Duffy of
Corunna, in which the latter lost $95.
Now a prison sentence of two years
stares the traders in the face and the
"Rube" lawyer will not be laughed at
again soon.
