GAS COMPANY
DRAWS $500 FINE
Judge Phslan Severe With Smoke
Nuisance 0ffenders--G. H. Bar
bour Pleads for Manufacturers.

Judge Phelan heard number OF
complaints under the smoke nuisance
ordinance, Wednesday morning. He
was severe In one case only, assessing
the Detroit City Gas Co. $500 for per-
hitting dense black smoke TO issue
from its plant at the foot of Twenty
fourth-st.
Other defendants were given time
to remedy defects In their boilers and
engines, largely through the argument
OF George II. Barbour, representing
the Michigan Copper and Brass
Works.
When our plant was built, we gave
the architects and builders carte blanc
TO put up as fine manufacturing
plant as they could" said Mr. Bar
bour. I'VE have spent much time and
energy in the perfection of our ma
chinery and We have tried our utmost
to reduce the smoke TO a minimum.
On one furnace alone we have spent
$4,000 In improvements.
In deciding these cases, | would
like to ask the court to consider this
one thing; There must be smoke. A
severe enforcement OF these smoke
nuisance laws may mean a crippling
of manufacturing interests, which are
In themselves paramount TO the pros
perity OF the people.
I'VE do not plead for mercy, but we
ask that the manufacturer. who Is do
ing his best to remedy the smoke nui.
sance, be given a chance.
When | was an alderman In 1885,
I participated In drawing up the first
smoke ordinance, and | realize full
well the right of the people In that
respect.
Il realize line should be drawn
somewhere" said Judge Phelan.
When there Is no smoke coming
from the chimneys. there is bound TO
be grass growing over the walks.
This court wants to be fair, but at
the same time, the court is bound by
the provision of the ordinance"
This particular case was put over 80
days along with number of others.

Detroit Soldiers Start
For Port Huron Camp

Recruited to almost full strength,
the two battalions OF the First infan'
try, Michigan National Guard, left Wed.
nesday morning, via the steamer Wau.
keta, Of the White Star line, for the
state camp In Port Huron. They gath.
cred In the Detroit armory about !
o'clock and spent two hours In max.
ing preparations for getting away.
The regimental band headed the pro-
cession and the soldiers stepped lively
to the music, They looked neat In
their new khaki uniforms and broad.
brimmed felt hats.
The contingent was composed OF
eight companies, each OF which had
about 90 men, hospital corps, cavalry
troop b and the band, Lieut.. Col.
Walter Barlow was In command. There
was some fear, Tuesday night, that
the companies would be minus num-
Der Of men who didn't want, to make
the trip, but rounding-up process
brought nearly all into the fold. The
law compels every member Of the regi-
ment to go to camp unless he has a
good excuse for remaining away.
