urge and try to have their collections
made the same way. What is true of
these two companies is true of
every business man in the city Of
Grand Rapids. If we all try
to do our utmost in getting on
cash basis and pay our bills
on delivery of the goods, or at least
at the end of thirty days, We will
all be better off. When business is
quiet, if collections are good. we do
not feel the loss in business so badly
as we do when collections are slow
and poor. The request made by the
Electric & Water Co. is the request
made of every business man in the
city. The best way to solve this prob
lem is to live within your income
Ii your income is smaller than it was
last year, cut down your expenses
accordingly. cut off some of your pleas
sures and unnecessary expenses or
what might be termed avigances
that you can get along without. In
other words curtail all along the lire
and pay your bills promptly. In this
way you will be happier and feel bet
ter to konW that you have DO obliga-
tions but what you can meet at any
time. If you get in he habit of this
method, you will never regret it.
Let US all try and pay our bills more
promptly in the future

Insane Asylum Discussion.

The question "Shall Wood County
Build an Insane Asylum" is an inn
portant one which should not be dis
posed of hastily. This county has con
siderable expense every year in TAX
ing care Of it's insane. The State
Board OF Control are of the opinion
from their view point, that Wood
County is one of the favorable coun-
ties, i'm which the next Insane Asy-
lum should be located. These are
good reasons why we should build an
asylum. The next question lis, can
We afford to build it the coming year
and lis it advisable to attempt it UNI
der the present financial conditions,
of the cities and towns of the coun-
ty? These are important questions
to consider by the tax-paying public.
We say, Eyes, this is the time to
build, if those who have the solution
Of this question, will have only one
eye single to the successful out
come to the undertaking. We mean
by that, first, a good site should be
selected consisting Of good land for
farming purposes, with proper and
sufficient amount of drainage for sew
erage and other purposes, centrally
and we'll located in the county for
the convenience of the residents of
the County and with suitable rail-
road facilities. After all these are
provided, then an excellent business
man of successful experience should
be placed at the head of the under
taking, because he was thus qualified
and not because he belongs to a
certain faction, clique, or political
party who wants to give him a good
job, without any reference to the sue
cess of the institution. With a fav
orable location, such a one as the
State Board of Control would recon-
er management, then we would favor
the undertaking with a full know
ledge that it would be successful
and that the County insane would be
taken care of practically to no ex-
pense to the County. 1t would be
a successful business proposition that
would pay financial returns to the
County if conducted along these lines
If the site is selected principally to
sell somebody land to the County
at a good price, and then located
where it was announcement and mac
cessible to the people generally, fol
lowed UP by installing man that
was selected for some political or
other personal reason, then the en-
terprise would be a failure and the
County would be a loser financially.
We have confidence in the majority
sentiment of the County Board that
if they establish an asylum in this
County, it will be done upon business
principals and for the best interests
of the people of Wood County as
whole.
After considerable discussion, in
reference to a suitable site, Friday
morning, the matter was adjourned
over until yesterday so as to give
the members of the County Board
time to visit some of the new
sites suggested and offered for sale
for this purpose.
