BAGLEY IN CHARGE.

Campaign Committee.

Senator Burrows campaign COM
mittee will be headed by John N. Bag
ley. tobacco manufacturer, and son Of
q former governor of the state.
Some such selection was foreshad-
owed two years ago when Nr. Bagley
was chosen president of the Michigan
Republican club, body which met,
adjourned and never came above the
surface again II Is possible that the
exigencies OF the campaign may cause
its revival. That club was formed by
inviting all the party hustlers and the
members OF city. county and wari
committees TO enjoy themselves at a
Dutch lunch in Harmonic hall. The
general understanding was that Philip
H. Mcmillan. K. ID. Stair and others
interested i'm the Burrows campaign
footed the bill for the spread.
J. o. Muffin and some others tried
to take the club apart to find out what
made II run. They did not succeed,
as the club went to pieces after Its
promoters had discovered that the
Wayne County Republican club, Just
organized at that time, was not a
Townsend creation.
AS a bit of assistance in the Bur
rows campaign, II has been given out
that the senior senator from Michigan
will be the next chairman OF the SEN
ate finance conmittee--wheneye Sen
ntor Aldricn Is done with the job.

condition. There is about 100000
more cash on hand In the city accounts
than there was a twelvemonth ago,
while the debt has increased but $780,

and y2.649, 270.51 In securities. De-
ducting the sinking fund resources,
the net debt OF the city Is now 81

So sound are the city finances that
Detroit bonds are now rated with
those OF the government as conserva

bonds as the best means Of gaining

now holds more than 100000 Of city

troller Doremus figures that 50 per
