SEEK TUBERCULOSIS
AT STATE SCHOOL
BOYS At THE LANSING iNsTiTu-
TON WILL BE EXAMINED
SOON.
PHYSICIAN MAY BE APPOINTED
Secretary Of the state Board Of Health
Declares That welI-Developed
Cases Have Been Found
In Other Homes.

Lansing. OF the state board
Of health are OF the opinion that the in
mates OF the Industrial School for
Boys. at Lansing. should receive a
thorough examination to determine
whether there are any unreported
cases of tuberculosis In the institu-
ton.
AS soon as he gets his statewide
De Kleine. who was recently employed
by the board OF health to supervise the
battle against the white plague for
which the last legislature appropriated
100000, is expected to begin an ex-
animation of the boys at the state
school.
Secretary Burkart OF the state
board of health says that welldevel-
oped cases OF tuberculosis have been
found In other state institutions and
he claims that 1t would not be sur
prising II some of the lads at the in
dustrial school were afflicted.
II Is the contention of the state
board of health that physician
should be employed by the board of
control of the Industrial School for
Boys to devote his entire time to that
institution. Under the present system
. local physician is retained at
small salary and whenever there Is
case that demands medical attention
he is called to the institution.
One of the members of the state
board of health recently declared that
at each prison physician is regular
ly employed to look after the health
Of the prisoners and he contends that
It is Just as important that the young
wards of the state who have been
committed to the Industrial school be
given medical attention.
Governor Ferris, who has been
making an investigation of the Indus
trial School for Boys and who has
promised radical change in the ad-
ministration of affairs at the institu-
ton, will attend the next meeting of
the board and it Is understood that the
appointment of physician who will
devote his entire time to the school
will be among the recommendations
of the chief executive.
viii Re-Assess Macomb County.
Macomb county Is to be invaded by
the examiners of the board Of state
tax commissioners the first week In
September.
At least one-half of the townships
in that county are assessed away
below cash value and will be re-
assessed at once. Many Of the town.
ships are up to cash value. and some
are very close.
The commission has Just finished
the re-assessment of one township in
Cass county and has ordered the re-
assessment of three more.
In Muskegon great boosts have been
made In the tentative figures. Most of
the larger increases come In public
utilities and In the industrial plants.
The re-assessments of Sturgis. Sher-
man and Flowerfield townships in St
Joseph county have been finished and
reviews will be held in September.
BY the first of the month Monroe
county will be completed as to re-
assessment with the exception Of
three townships. Reviews will be held
about September IA.
BY the middle of September a
large force of men will be sent into
Wayne county.
The recent division of land about
the city of Detroit into lots and the
real estate speculations which have
been going on In the vicinity of the
city for some time past, are ex-
pected to run the assessed values of
Wayne county away up.
In the preliminary reports from
the field men, 1t is found, for instance
that between Detroit and Royal Oak
there Is but one 40-acre tract that has
not been plated into lots and big
prices put upon them. This condition,
to greater or less extent, obtains all
around the city and judging from the
first reports coming to the commits
sion. rural property is going skyward
In the assessments.

1915 came from the state printer and
II II expected that before the week 10
out the secretary OF state will have
sent copies to the judges, prosecuting
attorneys and other important Offices
