WATER BONDING
ISSUE DEFEATED
COUNCIL WILL BE FORCED TO
MAKE NEW PROVISION TO
REMOVE DEBT AND
~ CONTINUE WORK.

The failure of the village Of Laurium
to adopt the new charter provided
for by the legislature of 1909, caused
the defeat of the proposal to issue
water bonds for $4,000, TO remove the
debt resulting from the installation
of meters and to provide for con-
tinuation of this work. The old char
ter, under which the village. as well
as the other villages of Houghton
county are still operating, provides
that a two thirds vote is necessary to
pass bonding proposal, while the re-
vised charter provides that a three
fifths vote only is required. AS the
majority in favor Of the water bonds
lack just nine votes of the necessary
two-thirds. il failed to carry, whereas
the funding bond proposal had votes
to spare and was carried. These facts
developed at a special meeting of the
council last evening at which the re-
suit of the election was ratified AL
though the votes were reviewed by the
election board on Monday, and on be-
ing advised by the attorney that a
three-fifths vote was all that was re-
quired, ii declared that the village is
still operating under the old charter,
1t is now certain that the water bond
ing issue failed to pass.
Just what steps will be taken by the
council To meet the contingency arts
ing from the failure of the water bonds
TO pass is not known, but probably
will be discussed at the regular meet
ing of the council next Tuesday even
ing, when the details of floating the
funding bond issue for $4,000 will al
so be considered

unless Attorney General Kuhn re-
verses his opinion regarding the mean
ing of the new state game law. The
matter was brought TO the attention
.of the attorney general by an official
of the department of agriculture who
discovered that the amended law Of
1911 placed rabbits on the game list
The general game law prohibits tho
sale or Offering for sale Of any game
animal or bird. This provision is too
plain to be misnterprctcd, but the
Washington Inquirer put it up to the
attorney general of the state with the
result that his judgment was Endorsed.
Attorney General Kuhn rules that
since rabbits had been placed upon the
statutes the prohibitory clause against
selling or Offering for sale would be eff
lcctive and rabbits cannot be sold or
offered for sale i'm Michigan at any
time until the 1911 law is changed.

When asked recently II he knew of
any reason why there should be dis
content over the manner by which he

year. II stands TO reason that we have
not got a championship team. We get
close but not quite there. That won't
do. The management requires better
