Capt. Tom O'Grady. of Mcclellan
station. says that Mckenzie has the
reputation of being total abstainer
from drink.
81 have known the man only during
the short time that have been in
command of the station, and that Is
his reputation as given to me, and as
verified by my personal contact with
him." says O'Grady, but the men on
duty in the station know Mckenzie
well. and are ready to swear that he
does not take a drink"

A protest against the length of time
conslNned IN the erection of the North
western High school, which Is not yet
open, though other and larger build
ings, begun about the same time. have
been occupied for several months, has
been written to Albert McMichael,
president Of the Board Of Education,
by Frederick b. Smith. president OF
the Wolverine Manufacturing com
pany. The letter follows.
Il am very glad. indeed, to see a
committee appointed Investigate
the Northwestern High school struc.
ture, and while they are on this sub
-ject of investigation Of the character
of material, think one of the most
important matters to be investigated
Is the length OF time 1t has taken TO
erect this building.
1T Is an unfortunate fact that
school buildings take altogether too
long to erect, due to some fault OF
design, or delay on the part Of the coll
tractors, but in the case of the North
western High school it Is a very Sc
rious feature.
Central High school Is congested
beyond all reason, and the people In
the northwestern part OF the city are
suffering for this building.
Now as a matter Of record. and for
the sake OF comparison, want 10

building was completed In % months
