L'Anse. July z. 1914.
The L'Anse Sentinel.
L'Anse, Mich.
Gentlemen:-
In answer to the article appearing n
the Farmer July 2, I wish to make the
following Statements
First-The extra compensation -
postage was duly allowed me BY ~
board.
Second-The bank balance Of 10
treasurer would perhaps have made .
different showing II the Barsgs County
National bank officers had not honoreA
all the personal checks drawn By tAe
treasurer payable to himself from Ape-
ust IA, 1918 to September 9th, 1917, i.-
elusive. as per list l have showing tlae
amount to be $S, 105.00. There were
two members Of the school board wi,e
were also directors in the bank 1t thst
time. Why was not their attention
called to what the treasurer was doing
by said bank officers?
Third-Mr. Curtis mind must have
been somewhat jumbled when he states
that two members of the board were
paid $50 each for auditing the books
The two members of the board received
$25 each for auditing.
Fourth-In regard to Chas. H. Menge
and w. T. Menge taking the school
census, will state that they both have
taken the school census as required by
law and the board has paid them for
doing said work and no more. The
primary school money received by the
district tells the story.
Fifth-Regarding August II. Menge
painting the Herman school in 1911.
will cay that this is not true. A. H
Menge painted the McKernan school,.
house in 1911. both inside and outside.
for 28a days. work he received $3.50.
The sharp advance in the price Of paint
is only ihmaterial in the mind Of the
editor of the U. p. Farmer to tte
effort made to deceive the Taxpayers
as usual.
This hope, will explain the search-
light investigation made of the sene-
tary's and treasurer's books BY the
bondsmen Of the late treasurer. Tte
books of the secretary have been open
and are open to any person or persons
desiring to make an investigation Of
same.
! Yours truly,
AUGUST MENGE,
Sec. Board Of Education

In speaking Of the different costs in
painting the Herman schoolhouse, we
wish to state that Wright's figures will
not compare rightly, for on Sept. 5.
1911, A. H. Menge painted the McKern-
IN school for $3.50 and not the Her
man school, a. Mr.. Curtis states. Tell
M some more good ones, Bob.
The salaries paid to members Of the
board are - follows: Secretary $l25
per year, Treasurer 500 per year. and
trustees each $l2 per year. During the
period in question, the board allowed
the secretary the additional compsnsae
tion which averages N.25 per month
for postage. telephoning. extra labor

chasing agent, making annual reports.
making his services and expenses aver

CONCERNING THAT
INVESTIGATION.

MvEO1lUh11V1vs
Editor r. II. Wright, in last weeks
issue Of the Farmer. raps tho board Of
education for their reckless and useless
extravagance in handing the peoples
money since 1906.
OF course Bob forgot last spring
when the village council allowed Presi-
dent (thsn) O'Connor $50 extra COM
pensation attorneys fees-that wasn't
extravagsnt. When Mr.. o'Connor put
in bill for $500 to the board Of super
visors for extra compensation It was
not allowed.
OF course it depends on who It ID -
to how Editor Wright looks at things.
It wasn't waste when Bara&a county.
while J. o. Maxey represented L'Anse
township on the board of supervisors.
gave the Upper Peninsule Development
bureau 500 at . meeting held October
16, 1912. How much did this benefit
any one taxpayer except J. O., who
has large land holdings? How about
the thousands Of acres Of lands owned
by Supervisor Maxey that were not put
on the tax roll during his incumbency
in Office? That was an honest and not
extravagant business administration for
J. O's sole benefit. Show 'em all up
while you re at 1t.
Now, Mr.. Taxpayer, here are few
items for which money was expended
from 1905 to 1914 by the board Of edu-
cation. During that period four new
schoolhouses were built, namely, the
L'Anse high school, the Mason school,
the McKernan school and the Foote
school. The Hebard school had another
story added and the old high school was
remodeled, all this work At cost Of
$48,474.09. Here's how the money has
beenrecklessly(?) and extravagantly ~
expended.

Atlantic City.
Special Correspondence Of The star.

Special Correspondence Of The Star
ATLANTIC CITY. y. j.. April Is. 1914
The city fathers of Atlantic City are
considering the advisability of prescrib-
ing chair paths along the edges of the
Boardwalk. so that the long streams of
pedestrians and rolling chairs will not
collide. 1t is planned to allot a space
six feet in width along the ocean rail
and to lay the planking lengthwise on
this strip, thus preventing the constant
jolting incident to wheels passing over
the cracks between planks. A similar
strip Of planking may be laid along the
shop side of the wooden way for the
downcoast chairs. The pedestrians will
keep to the middle of the walk, thus
avoiding confusion.
Another recent rule that made for
system and order in handling the vast
Easter throng was the order that no
chairman dared cross the Roardwa Tx
deck save at a street intersection. This
will preclude the frequent punches in the
back that slow-moving pedestrians have
heretofore experienced at the hands of
hurrying or careless human motors"
The bays and thoroughfares behind the
city are dotted with sailboats and all
manner of marine craft these mid-April
days, and at night the bat-a- bat-bat of
the motor boat is heard in the land and
over the water. The ancient mariners
and old sea cap'ns at the inlet are over
hauling and "corkin'" their craft in
preparation for the invasion Of the low
ers Of the sea. A busy hum of sea life
pervades the resort, and the all-the-year
residents are preparing for the inlander' 8
reception.
