COUNCIL AND PARK BOARD
SIDESTEP PAVING BILLS
Each of Them Denies Liability for
Jobs that Have Already
Been Done.


Somebody steered paving bills to the
amount Of $47sS.65 through the wrong chan
mel Tuesday night when a resolution was
presented TO the city council asking the
payment of this amount. The report was
referred to the park ana boulevard com
mittee and now that body will have to
take the kinks out OF the tang1e.
Some time ago bids we're let for the
paving Of Woolworth avenue from Thirty
third street TO Thirty-sixth street. Califor-
MIA from Sixteenth to Twentieth streets
and Poppleton avenue from Thlrty-second
TO Thirty-sixth street.
As their part of the paving the Board of
Park Commissioners has been asked to
pay N7ss,1. In her report TO the council
Mrs. 9. d. Q. Jewett. secretary OF the Board
of Park Commissioners, states that there
IL no money at present to pay this assess
ment and II there was II is her opinion
that the board should not pay for these
improvements.
The assessment is for the paving OF
streets which touch the boulevards and
which should be paid by the city. 1t is not
a bill to be paid out OF funds in the park
board. according to the report.
A difference of opinion exists As 10
whether the park board should pay these
bills or the city should pay them In
either event. the city foots the bill, but
now the question Is which department must
stand the expense.
Eventually the city will have to pay the
price" says Councilman Berka. The work
is done and It must be paid for.

FinIay Admits PossibiIities.

Mine Expert j. r. Finlay does not
believe that the death knell of Michi-

tiles of Improvement where now the
situation looks the most dismal.
"The only seriously discouraging
feature OF my report 10 my mind was
that. with the end OF the Calumet lode

great Lake superior copper district any
substitute TO take its place in supply
ing copper or dividends.
The Calumet lode, as ] pointed out
IN my report. has 10 date produced
thirds of the dividends paid by the
Lake Superior copper mines but of
course this could not go on forever
Because cold blooded logic, which
had not before been applied in an APP
praisal of Michigan copper mines was
used as a basis for determination of
values. some of the mine officials have
been somewhat startled AZ my findings.

but / include these hopes in my re-
port as matters Of record and not as

In figuring valuations. the life or
continuity of the deposit was the main
question 20 be determined. There was
no reason to expect that the various
properties would soon play out except
where the boundaries had been reached
and depth had been sounded. In most
cases the average depth was assumed.

necessary 10 take into consideration

richness at great depth The Pewabic |

operates, has proved conclusively that
