LIQUOR REVENUE
DECREASES $500
FOR THIS YEAR
Auditor Bowman AppOrtiOhe
School Funds Amounting
to $21,7O6 Among Towns
and Townships.

The revenue from liquor licenses,
which reverts to the school fund OF
the county, dropped off $500 according
to the statement of County Auditor
Bowman. In 1916, at the January ap-
portionment, it was found that IS, law
will be turned into the school fund
from the sale of liquor licenses In the
county while in 1915 this sum was $6,-
200.
Increases in other school revenue
however, more than made up Tor TINS
loss and the county auditor reported
today that a larger per cent OF the
money turned into the state fund was
returned to this county than has been
done for the past few years. The prac-
tice Of lowering the assessment Oh
property in many counties has been
discontinued through the effort OF the
state tax board and for this reason,
Wayne county is receiving a more
tust apportionment of the tax.
The total revenue from the state
last year amounted to $2S.O13, but IN
the January apportionment by the
state auditor it Is found that Wayne
county will receive in return only $21,-
7O6.79.
This money has been apportioned

Il will, for my part, not agree to any
such agreement" Bavis said. It favor
no meddling with the local gas rate
until the commission formulates one
based on actual physical valuation OF
the used and useful properties Of the
local gas utilities. If the company
wants to appeal the electric plant pur-

would not be involved in such litiga-
ton. That would be a matter between

Bavis also announced today that the
city had suggested to the commission
that a committee Of three. composed
of the chief engineers of the two local
electric plants and an engineer on the
commissions staff, be appointed to
appraise the l.. HI. & P. plants equip
ment added since last June for the pur-
pose of determining the total purchase

whatever additional equipment val

providing it met the approval OF the

would also prevent even the slightest

The best argument for Christianity
is the life of a true Christian. There
is danger of having too much church
ianity and too little Christianity.
Some people work at little bit of
church work and think they are serv-

God wants the church to do big
things.
He wants us to be giants, to be

The article contains a discussion Of
