Mr.. Darncll made an offer Of trade

A ROAD BOND ISSUE


Elsewhere in the Tribune Henry
Shagren, clerk of Lynden township
ISSUES an official notice of meet
ing of the supervisors TO be held
May l, at which the bonding of ;le
| township will be considered in order
TO provide funds for necessary road
| repairs.
This is an imortant matter and the
supervisors invite the property
owners to be present and to discuss
suggested that the bonding mighs~be
avoided if the property owners would
donate a day or two to work on The
roads, as some of them have already
agreed to do on the building OF rome
new roads. Mr.. Shagren in dis
cussing township roads said:
I'VE probable will not attempt uush
more than repair work this ,.year on
account of lack of Enthusiastically
believe we should%e each try 10
keep the roads along our property
repaired. DO you know, I'd like 20
see law in this country similar TO
the old country law, whereby after a
road was once permanently improved
the property owner is held Responsible
for repairs in front of his land. If
he dosen't see to keeping the road
in repair the work is done and is
charged up to him.
Il would like to see some good |
roads built in this township and |
.hink there will be. We want 10 |
lot only grade the roadways but /
We should gravel them and in my
opinion the river gravel is just.
what We want. l believe it is just as

t is better---than the pit gravel.
What We ought to do is to get II
raction engine and few wagon
ars to haul gravel, and then We

DOG TAX COLLECTORS.
Three Night Policemen Appointed to
Get the Money.

The village of Laurium has decided
to tax all dogs in the village, COM
mencing today. Night Policeman
William Barge, John Hunt and b. Tin
ETH have been appointed dog tax col
lcctors, and will insist that all owners
of CANNES secure license tags. If not
all unlicensed dogs will be destroyed.
DR.. A. l.. Farnham was the first to
pay his dog license, calling on Clerk
Martin Prisk yesterday afternoon
and taking out the first tag 1t is con-
tended that there are at least one
thousand dogs running loose in Laur-
ium, hundreds of them without own
ers, or at least Indifferent to the ami
mails wC,fare
Complaints have been registered with
the village authorities concerning the
dog nuisance, and it has been decided
to take action. There will be no let
up on part of the offers of the village
until licenses on all dogs have been
collected, or the animals killed.
Laurium has yearly made a point of
collecting dog taxes, and a consider
able revenue has been the result.
All male dogs are liable To a tax of
81 per, while owners of female ami
mails must pay SO.
