Firemen's Law Unconstitutional

Judge w. G. Gage, of Saginaw, has
decided that the law passed by the
last legislature giving city firemen one
day off in four and two ten-day fur
loughs each year is unconstitutional
as it sis a violation of the rights of
the city to local self-government," "
and that if the legislature could pass
such measures it could, by successive
acts of this kind, abrogate all the self
governing authority given cities un-
der the home rule law of 1909 and the
home rule provision of the state con-
stitution. The Owosso City Commits
sion refused to recognize the validity
of the law and it has not been opera
tive in this city. Their action has
made quite saving in the expense of
the fire department during the year.

finish is being pushed along by the

toilets and swimming pool room have
been shipped and as soon as they are
received the work of installing the
marble wainscOtting and putting in
the tile floors will be commenced. This
work will require two weeks time SO
that the building ought to be ready
for final inspection and acceptance by
the State Military Board by April
18th. The lighting fixture contract
has been awarded to Townsend & Full
mer, who will install the same within
few days. The lockers for the mem
bers of the Company and for the In
firmary have been ordered and it is
expected that shipment will be made
as soon as the building is completed

Save Waste Paper and Rags.

The U. S. Department Of Commerce
is sending circulars all over the coun-
try calling attention to the importance
of saving waste paper and rags of all
descriptions because Of the serious
shortage Of raw material for the
manufacture Of paper. 1t states that
something like $4,000 tons of differ
ent kinds of paper and paper board
is manufactured every day in the
United States and that large pro-
portion Of this, after it has served its
purposes, could be, used over again in
some class of paper. A large part
of it is, however, burned or otherwise
wasted, and has to be replaced by
new materials. The advice given
years ago to save rags is as import
ant to the paper industry now as when
first given. A little attention to the
saving of rags and old papers will
mean genuine relief to the paper in
dustry and a diminishing drain upon
the resources of the country for new
material. AS there is a market some
revenue will come from following the
advice.
