Now Condensing Milk

The Clio Condensed Milk Co. is now
operating in limi ted way every day
and is turning out very superior grade
of condensed milk and butter. The
equipment is undoubtedly one Of the
finest in use in Michigan and only a
limited supply of water prevents the
operation of the plant on large scale.
This deficiency in the water supply is
something that could not be foreseen,
as the wells did not turn out as was
expected. The company, however,
with characteristic vigor, is laying a
six-inch water main along johnson
street to the creek, where powerful
pump will be installed which will insure
a plentiful supply of water. This wa
ter, it should be understood, does not
enter into any of the products of the
factory and Is used for steam and cleans
ing purposes only, and, as a matter of
fact, most of the condensaries in the
state find their water supply in the
some stream. The present output of
condensed milk is marketed in Detroit
where it is pronounced first-class, the
only complaint being that there is not
enough OF H. "

of highway commissioner, which went
to the democratic candidate by large
margin.

NORFOLK, VA, March 1.-THE Viz
ginia State fisheries commission met
here yesterday. this having been the
first meeting in Norfolk Of the newly
appointed commission, composed of
John 8. Parsons. of Accomac. chairman
Walter II. Ryland, of Ur5anna, secre-
tary: former state Senator George B.
Keezell. of Rockingham: Charles A.

the board were present In addition
there was Secretary Matthews. OF the
old comission. Former Commissioner
Lee was on his way to attend. but
was delayed all day on the steamer
Berkeley, which went aground below
Richmond.
The board discussed a real deficit, so
far as II is concerned, but only an ap-
parent deficit, SO far as the retiring
board Is concerned. OF s.. s24.93. II was
clearly explained that the auditors re-
ported deficit of the amount mentioned

penses during that fiscal year had been

to pay out of one years appropriation
for the nsheries' commission any
warrant drawn on the fund unless it
arrived before the close Of the business
hours on the last day Of the boards

Spent Less Than Appropriation.
II was shown by calculation that the
retiring fisheries commission during
the four years of Its existence spent
s4,s341s less than the total State ap-
preparation for the period mentioned,
not including s2,4oo paid to upstate
members in that period. and that in
GLIDING the s2.400 paid to upstate
mem hers the old commissions actual
expenses all told were s2.434.1s less
than the states total appropriation to
the board, whereas the auditor reports
a deficit to the new board of s2.s24.a3.

Speaker Cox. at one fell swoop
arranged the bills on n program, took
them out of their order, arranged the
fine when the votes should be taken

the consideration of the bills on this
