Burglar Alarm at Post Office.

Orrie Bailey, nightman at the barns
Of the Union Transfer Co., summoned
Patrolmen Fred Brown and Frank
Mack to the post Office building at $3.50
o'clock Monday morning, stating to
them that he had seen a man walking
about in the money order room of the
Office. The officers made thorough
investigation, finding all doors locked
and no signs of anyone about the build
ing and so far as could be determined
by the employees later on nothing In
the building had been disturbed. IL
anyone was in the building he must
have escaped through the rear cellar
door while the officers were making the
examination about the front of the
Office. The alarm, however, developes
the fact that additional security to the
government property is afforded by the
fact that any attempt to rob the Office
would probably be discovered by the
night man at the offices of the Transfer
Co

Good Herd of Grade Cattle.

From the Michigan. Dairy Farmer,
published in Detroit weekly in the in.
terest of the dairy business of the state,
we take the following:
II am giving you the result of one
herd of cows short distance from Du-
rand. The herd is owned by George
Cole, and ne is subscriber to your
paper. The Durand creamery buys his
milk for starter milk and pays him on a
butter fat basis for It.
'His herd contains 1S milking cows,
but he has had hired man most of the
year, who is q married man, and 1 fig
ure the milk that this hired man and
Mr.. Coles family used would at least
take the milk from one COW, so the milk
delivered here was really from II cows.
I'm the year just closed, he delivered
to the creamery 142, ,5S2 pounds of milk.
The average price paid him for this
milk was $l.4l per hundred. The high.
est price was $l.62 and the lowest was
81 30 The milk brought him in cash
$4,000 81. His herd averaged s,32S
pounds per COW, which netted him a
little over $118 per COW. The average
test of his milk was little better than
3 per cent making the average weight
butterfat 294 pounds or about $50
pounds butter per COW.
This herd is composed of grades,
mostly Holsteins, which he has picked
up one at time in the past three
years. If Mr.. Cole had herd of regis
tered stock, I consider that he would
make record that would be hard for
anyone to beat. do not think that
there are many herds of grade cows in
the state of Michigan today that could
show any better record than Mr.. Cole
has made this herd show"

How Big Corporations Evade the Per
sonal Property Tax Laws
in New York.

just how the personal property tax
laws throughout the country have be.
come gross examples of class legislation
is Mr.. A. j. Nock's theme in his article,
"The Things that are Caesars" in the
January American Magazine. Rich
men and corporations can easily evade
the law while the poor man and the
small retailer have to pay. AS an in
stance of how the former is accom-
plished Mr.. Mock recites the following
case:
Most people know B. Altman e. Co.
in New York. All women know Alt
man's-a New York woman could find
her way there blindfolded. Altman's is
prosperous The store at Fifth Avenue
and Thirty-fourth Street is one of the
show buildings of the city, a magnifi
cent affair, beautifully arranged, and
carefully managed.
"B. Altman & Co. carries about $2,-
600, 900 worth-rather more than less
of merchandise, all of it personal prop
erty in the primitive sense. Altman
does not pay cent of personal proper
ty tax, and, furthermore, does not in
fringe hairs breadth upon the New
York Jaw.
"a personal-tax assessment, roughly
represents the excess of assets over liza
bilities, of credits over debts. In addi-
tion to the $4,000 600 assets in mer.
chandise, Altman's has also in round
numbers 81 OOO,O coo assets in real estate
buildings, etc. To offset these, it has
some miscellaneous debts. no doubt of
considerable size, but far and away in
sufficient to balance the enormous sum
of credits. The-great factor in wiping
out the concerns whole liability for
personal taxation is bonded indebted
ness issued on the real estate, and float
ed to the rousing tune of SO, 900, 900,
Now, the question is, who holds
those bonds? just so. No one knows,
no one can find out The ownership of
corporation bonds, like Mark Twain's
new post-road, is easy of access to all
who can get at it, but these, unfortu-
nately, are very few. That whole bond
Issue of SO, ,0O0, 900 is taxable as personal
property, but it is assessable against
the bondholders individually, as nat
ural persons, and not against Altman g.
Co. as corporation"

Added Duty For Boards of Health

Added Duty For Boards of Health
Judge Wisner of the Genesee circuit
has decided that boards of health must
certify in all cases as to the indigency
of persons for whom the county is ask
ed to provide medical services or sup
plies before bills for such ser vice OF
supplies can be acted upon by boards of
supervisors This question has been
the subject of much controversy in
Genesee county and the matter was
finally brought to issue by DR.. w. L.
Whitaker, who sued the county to re-
cover the full amount Of bills which
had been cut by action Of the supervis-
ors. Judge Wisner directed a verdict
for the county on the ground that the
boards Of health had not determined
whether or not the parties mentioned
in the bills were able to pay, and held
that in order to comply with the
statute it was strictly within the juris.
diction of the board of health to make
this determination. This means in
effect that if the law is observed bills
should not be certified or allowed when
the persons receiving the service
or supplies are not actually INDECENT.
This practice has not always been fol-
lowed in this county and if it is to be
in the future it will mean quite re-
duction in the amount of bills of this
kind.

Nomination papers to give Judge
Selden S. Miner p ace on the primary
ballot for the nomination as judge in
the Shiawassee- Livingston circuit, are
being circulated and very generally
signed in this city. The primary is to
be held March 1st. 1t is not believed
there will be any opposition to the re-
nomination of Judge Miner in this

of Livingston county will not present a
candidate. Judge Miner is serving his
first term and thus far has made most
excellent record and is entitled to an
other term.
