If the people of Baraga Coun-

If the people of Baraga Coun-
ty want the county seat removed
for the mere reason Of moving it
to Baraga Village, why not say
so openly and candidly, and not
shield and screen the true mo-
tive behind some trumped up
gossip about L'Anse not doing
what the law forbids, or. the
railroad running away from us,
or the court house walls falling
down, or the unsanitary condi-
ton of the Jail. Don't go to the
taxpayers with the heavy bur-
den of cost that will be inevita-
BILE on removal, or any pretext
except the honest truth.
Nor must the people be de-
ceived by the wording of the
proposed gift Of a suitable court
house, Jail and sheriff's resi-
dence. The taxpayers of Bara-
ga Township and Village cannot
use public township or village)
funds for such purpose. The
proposed buildings must be paid
for by private donotions or by
public county tax.
If the people of Baraga pro-
pose raising the very large
amount by private subscription,
they are to be commended most
highly. If, on the other hand,
the Village and Township of
Baraga or the entire County, are
to pay the bill by taxation, the
burden will be in great excess Of
the amount necessary to proper
ly run what we have now got.
If economy is the slogan Of
our County Board, the SENTINEL
extends sincere endorsement,
and commends a careful scrutiny
of the taxpayers burden.
In the absence of any good
reasons or show Of reduction Of
taxes, the SENTINEL feels it a
duty to urge upon its readers
that they condemn any removal
now proposed.

questions of the girl and the lieuten-

as bad as the burglar he threw out of
the car wiIdow-even worse. He's in
this prison at this moment, l firmly

we've just heard"
"Oh, impossible!" exclaimed Miss
Lane, her face coloring. HE was
gentleman, a thorough gentleman, and
too young to be hardened criminal"
Her face became Swallowed with con-
Germ.

authority

way you mean. It's some Of these
young fellows that will take chance

The warden paused and glanced from
the girl to the observing lieutenant

the Gate of Hope. He commented on
the fact that his visitors had dis

Informed them that he had determined
to offer them few object lessons,

Editor L'Anse Sentinel, L'Anse. Mich.
Dear Sir
AS citizen and taxpayer of Baraga
county, wish you will grant me space
in your columns for few remarks
against the proposal to move the coun-
ty seat from its present location in
L'Anse to Baraga.
The present site is as near centrally
located as possible, the Court House
has as fine location as can be found
in the county. The present building
is adequate and will answer its pur-
pose for at least fifty years to come
unless the growth of the county in
creases beyond all expectations, with
only the addition of few conveniences
which would have been installed long
before now if the Board of Supervisors
had done their duty towards the prop
erty of the taxpayers, whom they re-
present.
am aware that the present condi-
ton of the county Jail does not meet
with the present necessary require
ments in many respects. That fact,
however, is not new. The Board of
Supervisors has been aware of that
fact for several years, yet nothing has
been done to improve such conditions.
One can not help but censure the domi-
mating power of the Board of Supervis-
ors for such apparent wilfull neglect,
and for not taking necessary steps and
precautions toward providing funds for
a new building or necessary improve
ments of the present jail building so
that it would meet with requirements
of law and service.
Again. in place of making such i'm
provements possible with the least d.
rect expenfe, find that the records
show that for several years back the
Board of Supervisors Baraga County
has expended in the neighborhood of
81, 10000 annually over and above what
they have levied by taxation for county
purposes each year. Furthermore, it
is to be regretted that the representa-
tives of the taxpayers of the county
when in session, concoct and bring up
such rush questions for discussion that
can not help providing they were al
lowed to be considered) but bring an
unnecessary expense for the taxpayers
and certain future disappointments for
the county at large.
Personally, consider the proposal
to move the county seat absurd, selfish
and wrong. 1t would bring the county
seat nearly to the extreme corner of the
county. It would be no real benefit to
anyone and would be of no value.
The convenience and welfare Of the
taxpayers and residents of the count v
should be considered above those who
come to visit the county. / contend
that when the Board Of Supervisors
meet in session they should leave out
al. selfish motives, either personally or
for township, and only consider the
welfare of the entire county, present
and future prospects of developments
and growth of the county, and taxpay-
ers' interests should be treated with the
same consideration in all parts of the
county.
Resolutions contrary should not be
allowed to drag along and cause unnec-
essary expense to the taxpayers by
causing them TO be brought up for the
Respectfully.
