EQUALIZATION OF
COUNTY IS BEING
MADE BY OFFICIALS

The Board of Supervisors is meet
ing in Ionia this week. Belding s
three supervisors Fred l.. Spencer,
j. t. Angel and b. c. Curtis are at
tending.
The supervisors met last spring and
made an equalization, but since
valuations in the county have been
changed so materially the State Tax
Commission demanded another equali-
cation.
There is a disposition on the part
of some Of the~supervisors to dis
regard the figures on property as
placed by the Tax Commission. In
the event that the supervisors cannot
agree on working schedules the mem
bers OF the state commission may
come into the situation.
Considerable criticism has been
heard here as TO the workings of the
State Tax commissioners. There can
be no doubt but that the members
Of the commission and their assist
ants do not always possess as good
a knowledge of local valuations as do
the supervisors. Ii would seem as
though some changes will inevitably
be made in the powers and methods
of the commission. Many of the
ideas being worked out by the COM
mission are most admiral and with
some amendments in the mode of
operating a desirable result may be
obtained.

BELONG PARTIES
HANDLED RAISED
TWO.DOLLAR BILL

Several local citizens were innocent
parties in helping pass a bad bill a
few days ago. A $500 bill, which
had been raised to a ten, was offered
as a deposit at the Peoples Savings
Bank along with several good bills
one day last week The party bring
ing in the bogus bill was innocent of
its character and was greatly surpris-
ed to learn that it was not genuine.
1t showed that the original figures
had been bleached out and others
substituted in their place. The work
was imperfectly done. In one in
stance on the back of the bill the word
two was plainly visible.
Before arriving at the bank the bill
had passed through the hands of sew
eral people in the community. In
each instance the parties were not
aware that they were handling bad
money. II is not known how the bill
came into the community but il is
thought to have emanated from
Pearl Chaffee Of Blanchard who was
arrested at Saginaw last Thursday
Chaffee is now under arrest charged
with altering $500 bills to make them
look like the $40 kind. He asserted
that he needed the money to pay a
mortgage. When he was taken by
the officers it is claimed that they
found a secret pocket in his under
garments containing 3S bills that had
been raised, and also an outfit con
sisting Of pen and penknife and some
green chalk. Some Of the money was
passed in Greenville, Alma and other
cities along the line of the Pere Mar
quette between Grand Rapids and
Saginaw.

Similar carts are being placed in
many of the cities where the Parcel

CHOOSING THE ROAD

Answer, soul of mine-which way
Hast thou made a road today?
Hast thou followed Loves sure chain
over hill and over plain?
Whatsoever choice thou'st made,
There another road is laid
Evermore some foot shall stray
Ger the road thou mad'st today.
An let each of us beware
How his thoughts and motives bearl
Every road that we shall choose
Other pilgrim feet will use
Have a brothers care, and pray
God to mark thy road each day.
