BULLETIN OF
COMING EVENTS

So many things are happening in
the different business and social
avenues Of the city all the time that
in many instances important meet
ings are scheduled for the same date.
thereby dwarfing the purpose of
both. Realizing the need Of having a
central place to tabulate dates Of COM
ing meetings, entertainments, etc,
the Banner has concluded to main
tain a bulletin in the Office. On this
bulletin we will keep the dates Of
all coming events that may claim or
for which is desired the attention
Of the community.
In keeping the bulletins the Ban
ner hopes to avoid the occurrence Of
conflicting dates of important gath
erings. When any church, lodge,
society or any other body desire to
set date for any particular event
it will only be necessary to communi-
cate with the Banner Office TO ascer-
tain whether or not other meetings
are scheduled for that date.
THE bulletin in detail will not be
published in the Banner, but simply
kept on file in our Office. As soon as
meetings are planned they will be
placed on the bulletin. Their when
other parties plan meetings they will
not place the date upon that on which
other events occur.

CITY ATTORNEY
HUbbELL CITES
CHARTER ON PAVING
HE ANSWERS NUMEROUS QUES-
TIONS REGARDING CHARTER
LIMITATIONS

have been interviewed by num-
ber of the interested taxpayers in
regard to the effect of paving and
paving expense which is contemplate
ed by the city. 1t seems the impress
sion has become general that should
the paving proposition carry an in
crease in taxation would be incurred
70 such an extent that the taxes
woud be a burden too heavy for
many laboring people and people of
limited means to pay.
Fortunately the charter of our
city has provided a limit of taxes
which may be raised in any one tis-
cal year.
Chapter 20 of our charter, section
3. states as follows: The aggregate
amount which the council may raise
by general taxes upon the taxable
real and personal property in the city
for the purpose of defraying the gen.
eral expenses and liabilities of the
corporation and for all purposes for
which the several general funds are
constituted, exclusive of taxes for
schools and school houses, shall not
except as herein otherwise provided
exceed one per cent on the assessed
value of all the real and personal
property in said city made taxable
by law.
Section 8 of the same chapter,
which is the chapter on finance and
taxation, is as follows;
"The council may raise such fur
ther sum annually not exceeding
three mills on the dollar of the as
sessed valuation of the property in
the city as may be necessary to pro-
vide an interest and sinking fund to
pay the funded debts of the city and
the interest thereon"
Under the foregoing section. of the
charter the council cannot raise for
city taxes to exceed $500 per thou
sand per year and this amount. in
cludes the sinking fund of three
mills, which fund is set aside, for the
purposes above stated.
Should the foregoing not be thor
oughly understood by any taxpayer
/ viii he pleased tn have him call at
my Office and I will give all the in
formation possible.
Very respectfully,
I. l.. Hubbell,
City Attorney.

OF EDUCATION ON

PATRON OF SCHOOLS WRITES
LETTER TO BANNER GIVING
VIEWS

The Banner was in receipt last Satur-
day of letter from an interested pa
tron of the schools relative to the local
requests that the letter be printed.
umns to an article such as the one
below.
Below is the letter:
Belding, Mich,
March II, 1916.
Belding Banner:
Sirs:-I have just read the article
in your last issue regarding the
crowded condition of the school build
ings as given you by the Board of
Education. If you will permit me |
would like to write a few words ex-
pressing my ideas of the school house
proposition. If you do not consider
it good enough to print you can just
hold it in the Office and l will call for
it.
/ am a taxpayer of Belding and ]
have children in school too. So / am
interested in the schools as we'll as in
the taxes of the city. / am like ev-
eryone else who has taxable property,
do not want to pay any more taxes
| can get for myself and family in
improvements and surroundings. On
ly few years ago, about five years
believe, we built new schoolhouse.
At that time we were forced to it by
the large number of pupils going to
the schools. We thought then that
the new building would be large
enough to take care of the children
for many years. Now we are con-
fronted with the announcement by the
board that something must be done.
| have taken the pains to look into
the matter a little and | find that the
very conditions the board described
exist. The schools are growing be-
cause the city is growing and the re-
putation of our schools is bringing
more children here each year. / be-
lieve we must have more school room
and / would like to see the PROPOSE
tion come up right away. Let's not
wait until the last minute before
school next fall and then not have
time TO make suitable arrangements.
| believe the board is doing just right
in bringing the conditions to the at
tention of the patrons. / believe the
children should have more room and
/ also believe that we should make
place for physical culture Ny boy
says that some of the other boys there
who are in the physical culture class
must take their exercises in the base
ment hall next to the toilet rooms or
go out doors. When my boy is COM
PEELED to take his culture there / will
surely protest.
But now Mr.. Taxpayer and Patron
of the schools why cannot we get
busy right away and get something
definite done toward having our
school buildings enlarged or build a
new one if necessary? Surely our
schools, where the men and women
of the next generation are trained.
should not be neglected. We should
give our posterity a chance.
A Patron.
