ban naval militia conform 10 the
requirements of the United States
government in the public defense
act of 1916, was introduced into the
legislature Monday night by Rep.
Charles Culver of Detroit. chairman
Of the military committee
The bill was prepared by Adjt.
Gen. Persey.
The measure revises all Michigan
statutes regarding the naval militia,
making them coincide in all cases
with the government law. and at
the same time raises the naval per
capita tax from one cent 20 two
cents This will raise for the naval
arm Of the state force about $4,000
a year
As il stands now the naval force
of Michigan has about 400 men.
Under the government law it should
have 1000 men and the Culver
measure provides the means TO get
those men and the money TO take
care of them after they are secured.
While legally there should be but
400 men in the naval militia az
present, there are more for the rea-
son that many recruits have been
accepted and the provisional force
is now well over the 500 mark.
