until Wayne was reached, about IL

and was cordially received.
Starting from the Burns hotel
shortly after 9 o'clock. Mr.. Hemans
and his party, followed by a number
of Democratic county candidates in a
half dozen other autos, arrived in
Dearborn at 10 o'clock, promptly on

BIC FIGHT COMING
ON EQUALIZATION
Country Supervisors Make Strong
Protest Against Boosts Proposed
49, BY City Members.

One OF the biggest fights In the his
tory OF the board OF county supervis-
ors is predicted when the equalization
committee hands in its report. This
was shown by the vigorous manner in
which the country supervisors at.
tackled the figures OF the committee as
already agreed upon by the city mem
bers, who are In the majority. These
figures were agreed upon in a meet
ing OF the city members held recently,
which the country members were not
invited to attend.
The figures as they stand, and as
they will probably go before the board
for ratification, show tremendous in
creases all along the line in the
country districts, and some OF the
country supervisors threaten TO go
into the courts to have the figures re-
duced.

boost of $2,500.000 over his assess

Mr. Labadie got about as much at
tention as kicks from the country
usually bring. The city members
grinned and told him to go ahead with
the suit.
Supervisor Beaufait, OF Crosse
Pointe. on whose figures little mat.
ter OF 100000 was added, also had
his say, which was much along the
same line as Mr.. Labadie's talk, but
he didn't threaten to go to law.
Supervisor Crowley. Of Taylor town
ship was almost as outspoken as the
member from Ecorse.
"An increase of 100000 on my
township is beyond all reason, he de-
clared with emphasis, bringing his fist
down on the table with a thump that
made the other members sit up, "and
