WOULD annex
HIGHLAND PARK
Only Politicians Are Opposed
to Joining City. Declares
A. NJ. Parent

A VI. Parent. II ghlsnd ParS resi-
dent, has asked Corporation Counsel
Harry J Dingeman TO draw mp a
petition for the annexation of he
village to Detroit
Mr. Parent says that many High.
land Park property owners are anyt
ous TO go into the city. only IT,.
political once holders in the village,
he says. are unalterably opposed 10
annexation.
1.-The reason that Highland Park
property owners are willing 90 come
into Detroit Is mainly because of
growing dissatisfaction with the al
ministration OF the villages bust
ness affairs" said Mr.. Parent
Taxpayers have a great deal OF
trouble with their tax and special
assessment receipts Mistakes are
constantly being made in the tax
collectors Office. Many property
owners, who have neglected to keep
their tax receipts from year TO year
have been compelled 10 pay their
taxes second TING. = Other prop
erty owners whosspride is in tn,
beauty OF their lawns have been as
sessed for the removal of obnoxious
weeds. II you are not extremely
careful about the description OIL
your tax receipts, you are just as
likely as not TO be paying The as
sessment on your neighbor's prop
erty instead OF your own. The mis-
takes in the tax Office are vexing
and often costly 10 the property
owner do not know who Is TO
blame
IF you want load OF mud when
the village is grading a street. you
have got TO pay the man in charge
Of the job good price for every
load you want dumped on your prop
erty. even il you live on the street
where the teams are working.
Since the village taxes were
boosted. there is growing seat
ment In favor or annexation.
II the petition is signed and fav
orably acted upon By the supervis
ors in the spring, the annexation
proposition will he submitted 20 the

OF FREE WILL OFFERINGS
DR.. Depfer at Malvern Indicates Dis
approval of Sundays Practice

The Rev. DR.. II. A. Depfer, of Elmira,
y. Y, evangelist, who has been conduct
ing a campaign at Malvern. indirectly
casts ''stone" at "Billy" Sunday, when
he refuses to give out the amount of free
will offering which the people of Malvern
or any other town contribute when he
takes his leave.
Doctor Depfer says he does not feel II
is right TO create a spirit Of rivalry be-
tween the different towns, where he con-
ducts campaigns in order to increase the
Subscriptions for himself. He holds that
publishing the sums of the free will offer
ings means creating this spirit of rivalry.
The Rev. DR. Depfer conducts his cam
paigns In portable steel tabernacle. He
has been at Malvern six weeks. During
that time there have been 2S2 conversions,
some OF them, according to Malvern peo-
pie, almost miracles in what they have
accomplished for men, who have taken
a stand for Christ for the first time.
This is the first time Malvern has had a
tabernacle campaign, Lodges, church,
Sunday school and business organizations
have attended meetings in a body. The
tabernacle seats 750 people. All the eX.
penses of the campaign, $500, have been
paid by volt ntary subscriptions Many
people from nearby towns have attended
