SUGGESTS new
PLAN FOR HALL
Council Will Entertain Project for
Building Improvement

Apropos Of the agitation for perma-
nent improvements to the town hall
which is bound to come before the
council early this spring, tentative
plans for the work are being prepared
and at "a meeting that is not distant
the project will be placed before the
trustees.
That the improvements are neces-
sary and that it would be economy to
repair the building this year are both
recognized by members Of the council
and i'm the event that the finances
warrant the expenditure there is no
doubt but the venture will be attempt
ed in the spring.
An economical plan that has many
meritorious features has been advanc =
ed by one of the members of the board
He proposes that the width of the hail
he lessened by approximately ten fee;
and that stone wall be erected along
the north side of the present corridor
that separates the hall from the VIII
age offices. This would permit Of an
engine room ten or more feet wider
than the present arrangement and
would eliminate the use of the band
hall for part Of the fire equipment
He also proposes the removal of the
band hall and the erection of a one
story structure on the site adioining
the State Savings bank, TO he used for
office purposes, council chamber and
a Jail. At a nominal cost a substan-
tial building could be erected that
would permanently care for quarters
for the clerk, treasurer, marshal ana
other officials. The matter of a new
jail also confronts the council To the
end that some provision must be made
Immediately. The present quarters are
said to be unsanitary and even unit
and i'm the event that something should
result from the condition of the Jail
the village may find itself liable for
damages.
To provide for new front on the
old building, it is proposed that a
sandstone face be placed ON the new
structure to conform with the plan

When Prince Stepan Norskl decided
that he would marry the Countess

the king. his father, was highly indig-
unmoved despite the royal threats and
entreaties. He married Martha, and
sailed To America, where, assuming
the, name Of stephen North. he settled
down to the life of an American bust
ness man.
Sixty years later, John North, Prince
Stepan's grandson, decided To go to
Europe. He had several business inter-
ests To be sure, but the main reason for
his decision was the fact that Helen
Bond was sailing for the continent
with her,mother and father. John
North was very fond of Helen. More
over, Helen liked John, so there was
really no reason why they shouldn {
have married. But Helens mother
was ambitious. She wanted her daugh-

North learned of his windfal in
Switzerland, whittier he had followed
the Bonds in company with Arthur
Merritt, friend of his If it hadn't
been that North was desperately afraid
Helen would marry a duke despite all
his efforts, he probably wouldn't have
listened to the Minister for a moment.
As ii was, he decided that becoming
king was the simplest possible way Of
winning Helen.

The affairs i'm Balkia speedily became
in a very troubled condition. After the
rcvolutionists had made couple of at

true reason for their discomfort ANA

Michigan woodmen Delegates
Want Headquarters in Detroit

Michigan delegates TO the head camp
of the Modern Woodmen of America
which convenes in Toledo in June, will
ask the camp to remove the head
quarters OF the order nom Rock ISL
and, H.. to Detroit
The Modern Woodmen is the larg-
est fraternal beneficiary society in
the world, having membership of
about one million, 10000 of whom are
in this state and 1900 i'm Detroit. The
order employees 500 persons in its ma
tional headquarters. In addition -
conjunction with the head office, en-
ploying 100 persons. A building of
sufficient size to house the head Of
fees and printing plant would rival
some of Detrot's best office buildings
and would be of treproof construction
throughout.
f.. j. Bullard, state manager of the
society, said recently: The chances
are more than even that the national
headquarters will be saken from Illi-
share OF the head officers, and in ad-
dition To that she has the rational
headquarters and all of the benefits
that flow from it in the way of pat
ronage. Illinois has been able to Sc
cure these things because of its large
membership and the fact that it has
always stood loyal to the adminlstra-
ton. This time II looks as though
there might be a divided delegation
from Illinois to the head camp. If such
a thing should happen, the outside
states will not feel under obligations
to Illinois and will take advantage
of the opportunity long waited for to
appropriate some of the good things
10 themselves"
Questions of taxation are also in
Volved.
1t is Iointed out that Michigan has
always sent loyal delegations to the
head camps Of the society and that
during the readjustment period n
larger per cent of the memlers of
Michigan transferred to the new
plans than from any other state i'm the
jurisdiction.
