OPPOSED.

All the life saving stations ON the
great lakes. as well as those on the
sea coast. are. by proposal emanat-
ing from the treasury department L.

service. This proposal has come 20
the knowledge Of members OF the
Michigan delegation in Congress and
IL is announced that a strong fight will
be made against putting the change
into effect.
Michigan members who are special
~ interested in the service on account
of the large number OF stations on the
lake Coasts. are OF the opinion that
tho proposed change cannot but work
harm to the efficiency Of the service.
At present the men who enter the
service have before them the possi-
bility Of rising 10 officerships and even
&c superintendent but with the con-
duct Of the work placed in the hands
OF the revenue service the end will be
marked against any possible advance
nent Of surfmen beyond nominal pro-
motion, and IL is predicted that the
personnel of the service win be great
u impaired through the present high
class Of men refusing 10 remain I'm the
crews when all chance Of advance
ment or promotion for good work is
removed.
The change Is recommended by OFF,
oials OF the treasury department
through reasons Of economy. II isl
said that at present inspections are
made by the superlntendents Of theI
service itself and by officers Of thel
revenue service and the supporters Of
the changes say why not let the whole
supervision lie in the hands Of the
latter branch.
