TO DISCUSS MARKET ST.
PAVING WITH OFFICIALS.
Assessment Commissioners
Promise Merchants Relief.

The protest against the assessment
for the repaving of Market street by a
delegation from the Market Street
Business Mems Association yesterday
afternoon resulted in the assessment
commissioners promising to take up
the matter with the Board of Works
and city counsel before the final as
sessment would be made. David Wolff
and Leopold Jay were the spokesman
for the Market street merchants, n
when the total cost of the paving was
announced, showing that the mer-
chants share would be s59.630, while
the city would pay $14,113.9S, the bust
ness men protested vigorously.
As only one objection to the repay
ing of Market street had been received
by the Board of Works, the contract
for the work was awarded to the
STANDARD Bitulithic Company. On he
application of the Postal Telegraph
Company the board passed at first
reading an ordinance permitting he
company to lay it's own conduita in
Market street.
An appropriation of $500 was voted
for to defray the expenses of the dels-
American Society of Municipal I'M
provement, to be held in Grand Rapids
September 26 to 20. The board au-
thorized the purchase of the following
parcels of land in the watershed;

REPUBLICANS TO HOLD
STATE CONVENTION OCT. 3.

The Republican State convention viii
be held at the headquarters of the Re.
publican Club in Trenton at II a. m.
Tuesday, October 3. The time and place
were fixed at yesterdays session of the
Republican State Committee and
United States Senator Briggs, the
chairman, was authorized to issue the
call.
One feature of the Geran law which
puzzled the members is that the terms
of all the members under the commit
tees constitution and bylaws expire
next August. The old rules provide
Tor the election of a new State commit
tee in the same year that a President
Is to be chosen, while the Geran law
provides that the State committees of
both parties shall be named in the
gubernatorial year, which would MAKE
the next choice in 1918. 1t was sug-
gested to amend the rules so that the
present members hold over, and then
decided to await the action of the next
Legislature to remedy the defect.

Legislation in the Isle of Man. OF

Every widow enjoys half her husbands

deprived Of this by will. The sale Of
cigarettes and intoxicants to children
was forbidden in Man for years Before
such q prohibition was enforced in
England itself. England has leGis-
lated mildly against money lenders.
The highest interest that can be

Is 6 per cent, and that has been the
