appointment. He does not seek the
honor. but he Is the man above all
others whom Gov. Osborn wants to
see on the supreme bench, Il is de
clared, and the governor Is reported
TO have used persuasion on Judge
Steere, with the result that the lat
ter has promised to accept the place.
The formal announcement is expect.
ed shortly.
Judge Steere is man after Gov.
Osborn's own heart. He Is remark
ably we'll read, and his library is ole
OF the finest in the country. He is ar
authority on natural history, spending
much of his time IN the woods of the
north country. He has been on the
circuit bench since he was % years
old: he In now 56. His circuit corr

BRICK TESTS ARE
kept UNDER COVER
Mayor Unable To Learn Results
Since Sad Showing Made in First
Samples To Be Ratified.

Mayor Thompson will have no veto
message for the common council,
Tuesday night, for the reason that no
new paving brick bills were submit
ted to the council by Public Works
Commissioner Haarer, last week.
There are still number of old bills
awaiting the councils final action. II
has shown no disposition, as yet, To
pass the last two patches of bills
vetoed by the mayor over the execu.

the table pending an inquiry into the
brick question, the aldermen having
finally awakened to the fact that
there Is something the matter with
Detroit's pavements.

new rattler, under the direction OF
the city engineer, only one of the nine
brands of brick being used by the
city for paving purposes came up to
the standard required by Columbus,
Chicago and other cities, which use
rattlers. Mayor Thompson has tried
to get from the city engineer the re.
suits OF more recent tests, but they
have not been forthcoming. The ex'
cuse has been that City Engineer Nc

SO the mayor is going out Wednes
day or Thursday, to make few tests

testing from several of the streets
that are now being paved. Then he
will ask Boiler Inspector McCabe TO
give him competent engineer TO
make the tests.

Is not making fair and adequate tests
the mayor explained, but simply
want to see for myself what kind or
brick are going into our streets. That
rattler ought to be running every day,
trying out samples of every shipment
of brick received by the department
of public works. That is the only
way to make sure that We are getting

BENNERS TO GIVE
 DECISION TUESDAY
FATE OF vIADUCTs PROBABLY DE- TENDS ON WHETHER INJUNCTION IS FOUGHT OUT OR IS DISSOLVED AT ONCE

Much depends upon the decision of Chancellor Benners, which he has prom ised to hand down by Tuesday in the in junction suit against the city's entering into the viaduct agreement.
 Tho council meets Wednesday night, and If the injunction is dissolved, as City Attorney Romaine Boyd and the alder men hope and expect, the council Will immediately adopt the agreement. It would be signed by the Mayor, and in a few days the necessary bills would be fn- troduced in the legislature providing for the vacation of the streets and alleys mentioned in the agreement.
 The bills have already been advertised, and 1t will require but a short time to get them before the legislature.
 City officials feel perfectly confident that they will win out and that work can begin on the First avenue viaduct within few months.
 If Chancellor Benners makes the in junction permanent 1t will mean long, drawn-out fight and might prevent any action whatever by this legislature.
