WIN
IN BIG SUIT
Bankruptcy Order of Referee is
DisapprOyed
Very Much Of a Reasonable Doubt as
to Referees Find
ings.

Jake Segai ofithis city, one of
the co-partners of the firm of L.
SegaI & Bros. which firm went
into bankruptcy atSuperior dur
ing the year 1914, received a
telegram last Saturday from
Superior stating that Judge San
born of the United States Court
had disapproved the order Of
the referee in the bankruptcy
proceedings wherein the bank
rupts were ordered to pay to the
referee the sum of sac. 900.
The publication of the findings
of the referee in the papers
some months ago caused con-
siderable excitement due to the
fact that it was stated that the
members of the co-partnership
had concealed the sum Of $45, 900.
The opinion of the Judge in
reference to this was as follows:
"1n the present case the find
ings that the bankrupts con-
cealed assets is based on conjec-
ture, which may or may not be
correct, and even if correct,
there can be no presumption
that the possession Or control
still continues.
unless there is reasonable
ground to believe that the order
to turn over can be complied
with by the banxrAets it should
not be entered. In this case al
though there is a suspicion that
the bankrupts concealed assets.
the suspicion is accompanied by
a reasonable doubt, and this
reasonable doubt is increased as
to the present possession or con-
troll.
For these reasons the order
Of the referee is disappreved."
The opinion further says:
"The referees findings of fact
are voluminous and show much
care and labor. His conclusions
of law, however, are erroneous,
and the order should be disap-
proved, for two reasons: (D
The conclusion that the bank
rupts had and now have $45, 900
in cash which should be turned
over to the trustee, is not based
on evidence of sufficient clear
ness to warrant the order. ~
The lapse of time between the
closing of the estate July 81,
1915, and its re-opening June
20. 1913, nearly three years, is
sufficient to bar the proceedings
unless the evidence of conceal
ment and continued possession
or control of the assets is very
strong"

A Good Argument for County Nurses

Proof that city children are
more healthy than country
children was established from a
study of the health records OF
500, 900 youngsters by Dr..
Thomas ID. Wood Of Column bia
University. Forty-eight per
cent of the country children
have defective teeth; only thirty
three per cent Of the city child
rem. I'wenty.eight per cent OF
country children have tonsilitls
and % per cent have adenoids,
while city recoi dis show 16 per
cent and IL per cent respect

In ear defects country child
rem are four times worse than
children in cities. Eye defects
run % per cent for rural ano
IL per cent for city children,

Special School Election
to be Held Next Tuesday
To Change System Of School Government
Would Permit Additional Bonding Power and
Raise in Taxation Rate for
School Purposes.

we did not have but we under
stand that the total amount for
the year was less than $21OO.
The school apportionment,
which We have all heard about,
appears to have been included
n the amount which the city
would lose through failure to
! ouild. This for 1916 was
$4687.55, for 1917 $4858. 65, for
1918 $5O26.42, and for 1919
$51O8.45, there being deducted
from the above amounts ten
cents per capita for library pur-
poses and the remaining balance
was turned back to the city by
the state. The state apportion-
ment is based on the number Of
school children in the city and
has nothing whatever to do with
high school aid which the state
department threatens to cut off
and cannot be withheld from the
city any more than it can be
withheld from the rest OF the
school districts of the county.
Inc county school tax. which
some have also included as
part of the amount which the
city might lose, has nothing
whatever to do with the state
and is simply collected by the
city treasurer, turned over to
| the county treasurer, and re-
funded to the city treasurer
again. If the city had no high
school whatever this amount
could not be withheld.
Whether the state could with
hold the entire amount desig-
mated as high school and special
aid is a qestion. Washburn
would perhaps continue to main
tain manual training, domestic
science, commercial and teachers
training department, for which
aid has been received and which
would perhaps be continued if
these departments are main
tanned. The aid for the agricul-
tural department. was not re-
ceived since 1917 for the reason
that the room provided for that
department was not suitable,
and this amount would be in
creased with proper rooms and
facilities for the work. There
is also federal aid which would
be received with a proper high
school.
To build new high school at
an approximate cost of $175,O00
would cost the city in the neigh
borhood of $19,2 90 the first
year and a decreasing amount
each year during the twenty
year period over which the bonds
would probably run. This is
based on an interest rate of 6
per cent and a provision for
sinking or retiring fund of 5 per
cent. If thirty year bonds are
issued the amount would be de-
creased but the term of years
would be increased. 1t is also
possible that the yearly operating
expense Of the schools would be
increased over the present cost.
The taxpayers of the city will
be called upon to bear their
share of this amount in addition
al to the amount of taxes which
they are now compelled to pay.
The Times with others be-
lieves in the need of a new high
school building, but we believe
this is not the proper time to
build and that action should be
deferred. Therefore we believe
the voters should vote NO on
the question next Tuesday. To
vote for changing the school
system would be a step in the
direction of bonding and in
creasing the public debt which
we believe is inadvisable at this
time.

An Important Speclal elecCloIl
is to be held in the city next
Tuesday on the question OF
changing the system of school
government from it's present
form to the district school sys
tenn. The object of changing
the system is to permit tn
issuing of bonds and the raisin,
of the rate of taxation for school
purposes.
The idea of changing the
school system was brought about
by the State Superintendent's
department in giving the local
Board of Education notice that
unless the present high school
was either enlarged or improved
or a new building erected that
the state aid which this school
has been receiving, would be
cut off. Under the present sys-
tenn of school government it
would be impossible to bond for
sufficient funds to erect build
ing or to raise enough money
through the regular channels of
taxation to maintain the school
and naturally the Board of Edu-
cation has taken the only method
open to them, that of asking
that the system of school gov
ernment be changed in order
| 10 permit the erection of a new
Iouilding.
The cost of a new high school
building has been estimated at
S150,000, with the land pur-
chase and equipment additional,
so it is figured that by the time
the building is completed the
cost would be upwards Of $l75,
900.
The information has been al
lowed to get out quite generally
that the amount of high school
aid which the city would lose
through failure to erect a new
building would be in the neigh
borhood of $12, 900.
This apparently was figured on
a basis of what the city is now
receiving from the state. as
school aid. and apportionment.
but on this question there ap-
pears to be a wide difference OF
opinion, and the Times believes
the figures are much too high.
There. are but few people in
the city who would nota like to
see the city have a new high
school building, or few who do
not believe that the present
building is. far from being up
to-date, but the question with
many is how can the city afford
to erect a new high school build
ing at this time with building
materials and labor. at the figure
they are today.
The entire amount OF high
school aid which the city received
from the state, according to the
figures furnished by the State
Superintendent of schools, and
which can be verified at the
office of the Secretary of the
School Board in this city, was as
follows:
{ Year 1916 General High
School Aid S387 DO, Domestic
Science $215 "a, Manual Train
ing $238.72, Agriculture S154. 10.

We Have the Best
Harb0r in the World
So Expresses Member Of international Commission
At Great Lakes St. Lawrence Water Way Project
Meeting Held In Ashland

That Chequamegon Bay is one
of the finest deep water arbors
in the entire world was the
opinion of Commissioner Hon.
Henry A. Powell of Canada. who
was present at the joint water
way hearing held at Ashland on
Tuesday. Port Collector Burn
ham of Ashland, one of the wit
nesses at the hearing, in his tes-
timony gave figures of the past,
present and prospective future
traffic of the Chequamegon Bay
region and in doing so gave some
facts regarding the Ckequam-
egon Bay region AS being great
harbor for lake traffic. He was
questioned somewhat regarding
the depth of the water in the
bay, along the shores, the dis
tances between the channels,
the area of the Apostle Islands
and their ability to give shelter
during storm, and after giving
this information Commissioner
Powell of Canada said: why
man do you know YOU HAVE
ONE OF THE FINEST HAIR
BORIS IN THE WORLD. barring
not even Sidney, Australia.
The Commissioner was rOundly
applauGed for the remark.
The hearing held at Ashland
on Tuesday was one of the best
that has been held by the Com
mission. 1t was attended by
prominent men from all sections
of the northern part of Wiscon-
sin, and Michigan, Washburn
sending more than half a hum
dred visitors to attend the hear
ing.
These hearings are being con-
Quoted by the joint commission
of the United States and Canada
for the purpose of gaining all
available information regarding
the advisability and necessity of
building this deep waterway
from the Great Lakes to the sea
and their findings will be pre-
sented to the next Congress and
Parliament.
The personnel of the Com
mission was as follows: For
the United States Hon. Obadiah
Gardner of Maine, chairman;
Hon. c. d. Clark of Wyoming;
Whitehead Klutz of Washington
d. C. For the Dominion Of
Canada Hon. Charles A. Nc
Grath. chairman, Hon. Henry
A. Powell, ex-M. p; Sir William
H. Hearts; L. j. Burpee, secre-
tary.
At noon the members of the
Commission, members of the
Chamber Of Commerce of Ash
land and visitors from all points
in Wisconsin and Michigan were
present at a dinner served at
the Elks Club at Ashland. This
proved to be delightful affair.
There was singing during the
dinner hour, but because of the
shortness of the time after din
ner speaking was dispensed
with and the assemblage ad-
journed to the court room at the
court house where the hearing
was conducted.
The meeting was presided
over by Hon. C. A. Lamoreaux
of Ashland, while c. N. Cramer
introduced the witnesses.
Senator Wilkinson of Bayfield,
told Of the original idea for the
deep water way project and its
necessity some forty years ago
as a method tof solving the
transportation problem for the
great Northwest.
Ex-Congressman E. A. Hayes
of California, owner of the Ash
land mine on the Goebic range,
gave great reasons why the
waterway was necessary for the
0raat iron industry of Wisconsin
