Fight TO The END

The board of state auditors have
voted not to settle the case of the
Michigan Central railroad in which
the state is seeking to collect some
S4. 900. 900 back taxes, the load Offering
the state $125, 900 to settle. AS a
counter suit the road has suit for
Sd, 600. 000 damages for the repeal of its
special charter
.Secreatry of State Martindale and
Land Com mmisioner Russell voted not
to settle while Governor Warner and
State Treasurer Sleeper were in favor
of settling for this sum and all cases
being dropped on both sides.
Gov. Warner issued the following
statement upon which he based his
reason for wanting to settle the suits:
L favored the adjustment of the
two road cases. basing my position
upon the advice and counsel of the
ATTORNEYS who have so ably looked
after the states interests in the liti-
CATION. 1t seemed t. me safe to fol
low the advice of such men as Judge
Knappen. Justice Blair, ATTORNEY
General Bird. Otto Kirchner and
Thomns Z. Barkworth. They believed
that the proposition of the railroad
companv to the state ID drop both
cases upon payment to tine state or
1925, 900 should he accepted
Il believe the suit pending against
the railroad company for back taxes
will result in the states favor and the
verdict NAV be several million dollars
and the judgement NAV be rendered in
;he very near future. The circuit
court decision, however. is hut the
beginning of the contest and appeals to
higher courts will put the final settle
ment far into the future
The Michigan Central suit for six
million dollars damages growing out
of the Iepeal of their special charter
is vet to be tried The two cases will
be in the courts for years to come and
the expense of the litigation to the
state will run into hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars. | believe the advice
of the eminent counsel for the state
could have been followed and that
such a course would have met with
public approval

There was no numb,r on the auto

the latter place ny an officer. 1t was
found that the five men in the car
were from Clare, Mich, some of them
prominent business men
Sheriff Convis went to Wheeler to
investigate the matter with the result
that Mr. Wolanskv came to Ithaca.
Monday and the Clare men will

The local agent of the Maxwell auto

great demand for them The Model A

$3.50 and the touring cars mentioned
each brought $500

the manufacturers of the car. The
company some time ago ascertained
the running cost of their touring car

them and the purchasing public that
they have the followed the same plan
with the runabouu and find that for
the low cost of little over So % IA

other materials which are constantly

cost also is not figured on the basis of
the lowest possible expense but on the
average expense as oEiined from
actual investigation amcng the owners

remarkably low maintainence cost
and seems tc be worth looking into if
one is contemplating the purchase of

Mr.. Wyant, the local agent not only
handles these machines in Alma, but
he has the exclusive agency for the

Isabella. He has bunch of good
prospects in view and expects within
short time to rei,ort the sale of another

These facts. together with the fact
that the car ne handles is one of the
