Widows Pensions

requests for relief under the pension
act.
The 500 News says that Chippewa
county has paid out little or nothing
for widows pensions since the act
went into effect last August,
That is not saying that the widows
and children have not been provided
for. Supposedly there has been no
actual suffering on the part of the
widows Of this county and their chill
dren, because Of the non-fulhllment'of
the widows pension act When they
have applied 10 Judge Chapman for
help they have been referred TO the su.
perintendent OF the poor and have re-
ceived aid
Judge CHAPMAN declared TO the
Evening News that the supervisors
should have made some provision for
ihs money to pay widows pensions,
at the October meeting He said that
inasmuch as they did not make such
provision. he would not draw an order
on the county treasurer, as IL consti-
tutes felony to draw an order on
fund in which there is no money. He
explained that all applicants who came
under the provisions of this act were
referred TO the superintendents OF the
poor and have been taken care of. and
said that no one had suffered because
the provisions of the law had not been
carried out.
Judge Chapman explained that when
he took the matter mp with County
Treasurer Hotton he was informed
that Chippewa county had no general
fund that the supervisors spportioned
money into the various funds created
TO care for various expenses, but that
no general fund exists. Hence no order
may be drawn against the general
fund
According TO the law widows who
are dependent are entitled TO pensions
according TO their needs. yet Chippewa
county is not paying them. Whether
the board of supervisors will remove
the strings from Judge Chapman at
the March session remains TO be seen.
At present his hands are tied and he
cannot carry ont the provisions Of the
law, without laying himself open TO
the charge of felony. That is. that Is
the way he looks at II, and no official
may be blamed tor refusing 10 take
chances when bis own safety il con-
cerned. be maintains.

The pension act presents an entirely
different aspect in Delta county. as
well AS in few other counties of the
peninsula In Delta, the township and
city plan OF poor relief is in force.
AS the county must pay the pension
provided I'm der the act, il has been
found that IN counties with the Delta
plan In operation the number OF peti-
tions for widowds' pensions has been
large This is due 10 the fact that
cities and townships throw alt possible
relief work on the county. and the
pension law affords them the only
means OF doing so. In Delta county
TIE expense is already $40 600 year
and is rapidly growing
Although many petitions for pen
sions have been filed In Dickinson
county, q careful investigation of the
case of each applicant has resulted
i n great reduction in the number
OF those who would otherwise be a
heavy burden on the county. The law
makes no provision for those who re-
ceive money under the pension act,
and that which has been done in the
various counties has been the work of
the judges of probate.
In some cases IL has been learned
that applicants have been deserted by
husbands who are fully able 20 support
their families The decision of many
of the Judges in cases of this kind has
been to request the applicants TO swear
out warrants against their recreant
husbands, promising apprehension and
enforced support In many of the cases
the wives have refused TO resort to this
means. The amount of money that can
be allowed widows and their families
under the new law ranges from 81 TO
$40 week, depending largely on the
number of children in the family.
Those eligible under the law are wild
ows. single women with children, and
deserted and divorced women

If the report that a committee of
women complained to Mayor Harrison
that the members of the common coun-
Gil assumed undignitied positions at
the council meetings is true, it but
verifies the opinion many people held
that the interference of women in
municipal affairs would detract from
rather than add to political cleanli-
ness The incident mentioned is a
silly. usy-body assumption of criti-
cal position. Women can do some
very useful things in improving NUM-
cipal affairs If they only cling to the
big things and stay clear the silly
little details

Much of Mr.. Lewis testimony was

formation for the pubic on ore prices
and values that is of interest The
story OF the transaction is that the ex-
ecutive committee Of the Huron Iron
Mining Co held meeting In August
of Last year and decided TO move some
ore. Authority was given Mr.. Daniel
son, president of the company, TO dis
pose Of block OF stocked ore at 81. rs

with the Lake Erie Ore Go. to sell at

usual IRE contract. The sale was rati-
fed by Danielson and instructions sent

TO ship the ore
IL seems that there were about 30,
900 tons in pile and this ore had been
hypothicated to the Lake Erie Ore
Go for money advanced, but as the
Lake Erie people were making the
sale IL was agreeable to them that the
ore should be shipped. the money re-
ceived therefrom to be applied on the
debt.

When orders were received TO ship,
Mr.. f. w. Young was prevented
from doing so by the II. ". Youngl

original lease upon the Youngs mine

Go wanted the royalty paid upon the
ore before IL should be shipped anc
ss the lease made the royalty a leir
