Our citizens were surprised Tuesday,
when il became noised about that Geo
Pulfrey, Alderman from the Third
Ward, had leased his hotel property and
would remove from the city. Inquiry
developed the tact that Mr.. Pulfrey had,
after years of hard work, reached the
goal of his ambition and would spend
the next twelve months seeing the west
ern country, visiting friends and secur-
ing a much needed rest, both for him
self and Mrs. Pulfrey. Mr.. Pulfrey has
made the Arcadia one Of the best known
hotels along the line of the two rail-
roads entering Alma, and at the same
time it has proven a money maker for
the owner. Mr.. Pulfrey has leased the
hotel building and equipment for one
year from Oct. 4 to Hector c. Smith of
Arcadia Mr. and Mrs Smith are gen.
ial, whole souled people, have had ex-
perience in hotel work and will un-
doubtedly maintain the business &C.
quired by the previous management.
Mr. Pulfrey, accompanied by his wife
will visit Mr.. Pulfrey's early boyhood
home in New York state. This will be
Mr.. Pulfrey's first visit to his early
home since he left there when thirteen
years of age. After their eastern trip
they plan to go to California and enjoy
themselves i'll that land of sunshine
The Record joins with Mr.. Pulfrey's
many friends in this section in wishing
that he may again in the future be
counted among Alma's active business
men.

Clinton county to about 81. 692 o. ana
in Gratiot county to abut SIS. 237. 81 or
grand total of about Sl9 900 az
against Sl9, 800 last year.
The most remarkable feature of the
above is that the company only lost
five buildings by lightning during the
year. one house and four barns.
The board voted to make the rate
of assessment two mills, same as for
the past two wears. Owing to increase
in the company this will nav all losses
and provide larger surplus than ever
before The idea of the directors and
secretary is to gradually accumulate
surplus sufficient to ultimately
change to an assessment in advance
plan. The advance assessment plan
has already been adopJed by large
number of the companies of the state
and has been found to work well. II
does away with considerable loss
each wear from delinquent or unpaid
assessments and wipes out the interest
charge.
Most companies have made the
change by making double assess
ment in one wear. The Farmers
Mural purposes to accomplish the
result gradually bv increasing its
surplus.

of road built in Arcadia township by

as was mile and half in Pine River
township, built by Isaac Church.
Arcadia township has already made
application for building two miles

IN good roads is growing, fortv-two
counties are now operating under the
county system.

assistants are kept busv answering
inquiries and assisting township COM

after and inspects the gr ayel roads be-
ing built while Engineer Frank
L, Rogers looks after macadamized
roads which are being largely con
structed in the Upper Peninsula as
well as in BAY and Saginaw counties.
AS an illustration Of the good roads
