Yet, though I've led a merry rout

All, how envy those trotteurs-
Theirs is a happy lot;
The chairs and tables cleared away,
They gather in a brave array
To do the turkey trot;
While /, with many a vain regret,

CITY FACES PROBLEM

Improvement.

LUDINGTON, Mich, April 2O.-Lo-
cal city officials are up against it" to
provide funds with which TO carry
on the work of the city since the
saloon license money. amounting to
S7,40O, has been withdrawn through
the cOSnty going dry.
MAJOR A A. Keiser, who was the
manager of the wet campaign COM
mittee. says that none of the work
planned can go on, the council has
countermanded the order for a new
boiler at the city water works and
the replacing of a wooden water main
on the leading business street of the
city.
In addition, the pay of the charter
revision commissions was reduced
10 500, which practically means that
the charter cannot be revised unless
the commissioners agree to do the
work without salary.
The action Of the council has caused
considerable feeling in the city, the
vets saying: Il told you So" and
the drys claiming it is an attempt on
the part of the mayor and city cOun-
ell to make adverse record for the
dry regime.
The result is that municipal affairs
are in an UprOar, and a conference
viii probably be called between the
mayor and the city council and some
of the leading fnanciers of the city in
an effort to solve the problem.
