beaten again IL to Is. Senator Odell
wanted to add "hares" to rabbits"
The whole thing wound up when

The house of representatives
passed finally the Culver seven-man
school board bill, after its author had
had attached to 1t two amendments
affecting the district apportionment

to the board.
That portion of the bill which
prescribed that the common council
in cities of 250,000 population or
more should divide the city into
seven districts, to be composed Of
mot more than three wards" was
changed to make the measure more
flexible by striking out the quoted
phrase and substituting the words
contiguous territory" The other
amendment provides that no refer

ballots to the districts from which
candidates are nominated The vote
on the bill stood 81 to 2. 1t still

couraging private forestry and pro-
viding for the exemption from taxa

Representative Sigurd G. Nelson Of
Gogebic offered a resolution to amend
the constitution to provide for quad

lutions to amend the constitution en-
tered heretofore, to provide for tho
extension Of the terms Of state OFF,
GERS from two to four years.
A bill to amend the act providing
for the incorporation Of lodges Of the
Benevolent and Protective Order Of
Elks was offered by Representative
Flowers of Detroit. 1t would permit
Elks lodges to own 100000 worth of
property, instead Of $500. 900, the lim-
1t set by the present law. 1t is In
tended to offer relief to the Detroit
lodge, as the new structure they plan
in Detroit at Cass avenue and Lafay-
ette boulevard will, with the value OF
the land, be worth appreciably more
than the prescribed 100000.
Another bill affecting the Elks was
reported out In the house and will be
