of politics Oct. %, and as a result,
those present felt much better in
formed on the amendments which
were voted on at the election. Mrs.
Hendricks, of the history and political
economy department Of the M. A. C.
gave fine talk on the political par
ties, and read the parts of the state
constitution as they stand now and
explained how the amendments would
change them. There was plenty of
good music to brighten the program.
The club sang their new song. Miss
Marian VanLieu played a piano solo,
and the club chorus sang two num-
bers. Mrs. Hankins gave few notes
on federation but the whole report
will be given at the next meeting.
After club adjourned all stayed for a

OWOSSO BAKING COMPANY
EXPANDS

The purchase of the Hornkohl
Baking Co., a corporation of Manis-
tee by the Owosso Baking Co., was
completed last week. The Manistee
plant and the Owosso plant will have
active management of both bakeries.
The Owosso plant which started
manufacturing bread some six or
seven years ago, has grown from a
bakery manufacturing a few hun
dreds loaves daily to a wholesale fac
tory manufacturing thousands of
loaves and sends it's products into
cities and towns many miles distant
and at the present time is one Of the
largest shippers of bread in Michigan
outside of Detroit.
The call for Owosso made bread
from the many towns in Michigan
made it necessary for the company to
have another modern plant to take
care of this business.
The Owosso plant also will be made
larger and still more modern ma
chinery installed this winter or early
next spring.

HIGH TAX RATE DUE TO ROAD
BUILDING

Owosso will pay state, county and
school taxes this year on a basis of
$24.25 for every thousand dollars
OF valuation. This total is divided as
follows: State tax, $4.O6 per thou
sand; county tax, $5.87 per thousand,
and school tax, $14.32 per thousand.
The total of county taxes to be
paid by Owosso is $50, ,768.22; state
taxes, Sal, ,333.10, and school taxes,
including the one mill tax, $145,-
896.72. The assessed valuation of
the city is $1O,1S9,42
The tax rate last year was 1880.
Thus, the rate this year is $5.65 per
thousand higher than that of 1919.
The increased taxes this year is
due to the large amount of road tax
for new roads in all parts of the
county. Other county expenses are a
little higher but not enough to make
a notable difference in the tax rate.
