well-known fact that many automo-
biles escape taxation under the pres
ent system. but should the local tax
be eliminated. every owner would be
obliged to remit, as he would not be
granted a license to run his machine

Martindale believes that this money.
which he claims might amount, under
this system. TO approximately 100000
Per year, should be used In the con.
struotion OF state highways.
Trunk lines across the state would
prove boon to the farmers and
would not cost the agricultural dis.

Under this system. in the course or
a few years, Michigan would have the
finest roads in the state and the
counties would not have to bear the
expense. The roads would be built

TELEPHONE ORDINANCE
is NOT YET TAKEN UP

John A. Russell, assistant TO the
president OF the Home Telephone Co,
called at the city hall, Tuesday after
noon. expecting the council commit
tee on utilities TO discuss the telephone
ordinance which was drafted by r. j.
M. Hally shortly before he left the
Office OF corporation counsel NO mem
hers OF the committee were present
and the discussion did not take place.
Aid Burton. chairman OF the commit
tee, stated, Tuesday night, that ne
might call another meeting OF the
committee for next week. He smiled
when he learned that none OF the
members had shown up for the meet
ing. called for Tuesday, not even him
self.
There Is no need OF haste in this
matter" said Mr.. Burton, although the
ordinance has been before the COM
mittee since before January. Boston
and New York are investigating the
telephone rate question and a number
of states are making such investiga-
ton. including Michigan. / do not
think we should rush right in with an
ordinance proposing important changes
at this time, when we may nave more
information on the subject by waiting
a few more weeks"
Some OF the aldermen express
open hostility to the ordinance. Mr..
Russell said he was not prepared to
declare himself in favor or opposed 10
the ordinance before the committee,
but Just wished 10 listen to the dis
cussion.

Meanwhile, the policeman on the beat
has had instructions 10 exert special
vigilance over the property, TO guard
against any raid by treasure seekers.
Dirt, insufficient food. the lack OF
all comforts, and even necessities OF
life, were undoubtedly the cause OF
the physical breakdown OF the old
man." said Clerk DeLaurier. Wednes-
day morning
Everything in the house bears out
the statements OF the mans own rela-
tiyes that he was a miser, dreading to
spend money for the bare necessities
OF life. In the house found one bot
tie OF beer, dusty and cobwebbed, but
apparently representing the aged her
mlt's indulgence. A tiny glass was
what he had used to drink the beer
from. There was nothing in the house
but filth and dirt"
DeLaurier found a bank book on a
Youngstown bank. showing deposits
of 500, in addition to the $3.50 cash
found secreted in various parts OF the
house. There were also several deeds
to property in Youngstown, In add
tion to the deeds TO local property, In

where the miser's home was located
John Knoll, the step-brother, shrug
ged his shoulders In answer TO most
OF Clerk DeLaurier's questions, In
dicating little knowledge OF the habits
I or business OF his recluse relative.
He said that Knoll and his own
brother, who lives in Youngstown, had
not spoken for years, and always hac
quarreled, adding that Knoll was
funny, but a good fellow"
Charles Kroll's wife died IL years
ago, and John Knoll says that befort
her death, the old miser lived just
about in the same way. caring FOL
nothing but money, and living In
squalor and hunger to hoard up his
wealth.
