WANT WALK BUILDERS
TO FURNISH BONDS

A petition from the leading side
walk contractors has been sent to the
council. asking for an amendment OF
the ordinance governing sidewalk lay.
ing The big firms want the reinser-
ton OF the bond clause which was cut
out year ago. They say that every
contractor should file a bond OF 81 900
to guarantee his work.
This is asked in the interest both
OF the city and OF property-owners, as
II would be saving to the city and
give the citizens protection against
INSCRIPTIONS contractors whose per-
sonal guarantee for their work Is val
ueless." The petitioners aver that the
sidewalks laid In 1907 under the bond
ing provision were better and more
substantial than those laid In any
other year.

WARD WON'T PURCHASE
MILITARY ACADEMY

Charles w. Ward. Of New York city
who has been mentioned az a prob
able purchaser of the property at Or
chard lake formsrly,used for tha Mich
igan Military academy, declares that
he had no intention OF purchasing
that place.
II would not think Of buying It, he
says Military schools have gone
out OF date TO large extent. Several
important schools have dropped the
military feature. This may be due to
some extent to the fact that formerly
unruy boys were sent to such schools
The situation Of the academy at Or
chard lake is very good. but the build.
ings are not best-adapted to school
use, as they have been built from
time TO time and not at once on CON
plete plan"

ROLLING CHAIRS
PROPOSED FOR ISLAND

Electric rolling chairs--tiuy auto
mobiles built for two and q chauffeur
are the latest thing proposed for Belle
Isle. John Henry Kahrs, New York,
who wants TO introduce them here, Is
also negotiating TO place the chairs
on the famous board walk In Atlantic
City.
There Is some doubt as to whether
concession for the operation OF
these cars on the island could be
granted, on account of the privilege
OF the present automobile company.
The proposition Is TO operate these
cars at charge Of 81 per hour. Miss
|. w. Schmidt, formerly of Detroit,
IL interested In the Kosmos Electric
Runabout Co.. which operates the
chairs
These cars are so constructed that
they cannot run faster than eight
miles per hour.
