Many More Depositors.

the gain in the number of savings de-
positors is S0,S31, an increase in state

''fhc greatest deterrent to good bank
examinations everywhere has been tho
insufficient time afforded the bank ex-
aminer in which to thoroughly COM
pleto his work. said Commissioner
Doyle.
1T has been my aim to strengthen
Michigan's banking system, and the
details now making up examinations
arc 50 per cent greater than at any
other time i'm the history of the de-
paitmont. The Improvement made in
the system has resulted not only in
the discovery and elimination of dis
honest officials and employees, but in
a more comprehensive knowledge of
credit conditions in different sections
of the state"

WATER SUPPLY
IS DIMINISHED
SIush Ice Blocks Intake-.No Re-

Calumet today has "a very limited
water supply The pumping plant Of

community, is practically out Of COM

forms a thick coating about the pipe.
About the only nope of relief is in a
change in the direction of the wind
which viii drive the ice elsewhere, or
a wind brisk enough to break up the
ice field that has gathered over the in
take.
An last week more or less trouble
was experienced, but the stin wind in,
the storm Thursday, drove the ice
eighteen or twenty miles out into the
lake, atfordnS relief Since then the ice
has drifted in again and the trouble
today is more acute than at any pre-
vious time this season.
As the intake pipe about which the

possible to chop the ice away the only
means of combating the trouble being

The relief thus afforded is put tenn

Standpipe Already Emptied.
The Calumet and Hecla pumping
station this afternoon WAS pumping at
a rate Of only 2,25O gallons rer hour,
compared with a normal rate of about
100000 gallons every twenty four

The standpipe at Swedctown, which
ordinarily holds a supply of 500 900
gallons has already been emptied and
about the only hope for relief is in get

CONGRESSMAN
IS ALSO MAYOR
lanes H. CuIley of Boston viii
Take New Office Monday

ioston, Mass, Jan. 3l.-"To Have
and 10 Hold should have n place on
pr. l1liots "six-foot shelf i'm the
opinion uf Congressman James H. Cur
ley, who on Monday is to succeed John
+. Fitzgerald as mayor of the city of
Boston. Mr.. Curlcy admits that he is
not strong on the literary stuff, but the
title of the popular novel is one that
appeals to him. It's equivalent to the
good old motto of Get all YOU can hold
on To what YOU can get in the opinion
of the mayur-elect of the Athens OF
America"
Mr. Cmlcy, like many other Amcri-
cans who have risen To eminent posi-
tions in the service Of their country,
began his career as a delivery boy. As
he grew To manhood his ambition
prompted him to seek a broader field
in which his ability aud genius as a
mixer mieht have ample opportunity
for further development So he became
Il bartender. Again hp cmulated the
example Of many great American
statesmen who have used the bar as u
stopping stone into politics and public
life. Before he was quite old enough
to vote Mr.. Curley was a person OF
considerable political influence in his
nelghborhond.
For the past fourteen years Mr.. Cur
ley has held public Office advancing
through the political ranks from the
common council, through the lower
house of the Massachusetts legisla-
ture, the board of aldermen, to the ma
tlonal house of representatives and fin
ally to the office of chief magistrate
of Boston.
Has Never Met Defeat.
In all these years Jim" Curlcy has
never met defeat. And in alt thcs"
years he was never known to rclin-
auish one job until he saw II better one
in sight. And whenever 4 was pos
sible he held to two jobs at the same
time. 70 his official duties he has ever
attended with faithlullesS and pune
tuality. lie was never known to bc
tardy or absent ON pay day. Even the
personal disccmforts and distractions
experienced during an involuntary res
idencc of two months in the county
iail. an experience that might cause
the ordinary man to forget what ,he
owed the community or what the COM
munitv owed him, did not cause Mr..
Curlcy to swerve for a single moment
from his duties as an ol;lccholder. Dur
ing the entire period he drew his sal
ary with strict regularity.
Now that he has received the high
est honor that the city of Boston can
give h citizen Mr.. Curley unaffected
alike by the praise of his followers or
the criticism of his foes. keeps the sim
pie motto Of his life before him. Re-
gardless of the fact that the present
MAYOR of Hoston has broken down un-
der the burdens of his office unmind-
ful of the opportunity to tighten his
own burdens, thinking only of the duty

He did not content himself with
