Chamber of Commerce to Sell
Property-OppOse Continuation
of Red Cross Work In County

Several interesting discussions
marked the weekly luncheon >of the
Chamber of Commerce Tuesday.
Among other things decided upon was
the sale of two houses in Middletown,
owned by the Improvement Associa-
ton and acquired at the time land was
purchased there for the Ann Arbor
shops. 1t is understood the railroad
fully expects before long to make the
hong contemplated improvement, but
the two pieces of property referred to
are not needed and will be sold.
Discussion on another subject
brought out strong sentiment
against the proposed work in the
county of the Red Cross. 1t is felt the
field is already well covered by other
organizations, that the plan proposed
by the central division of the Red
Cross is unnecessarily expensive and
is not justified and should not be I'M
dertaken as has been announced.
The matter of an art institute in
Owosso in October was referred, after
discussion, to the Woman's Club as to
propriety and time for holding it.
The Chamber extended thanks to G.
r. Campbell for care, of the armory
during his service as Captain of the
State troops company. The regular
meetings of the chamber will be held
during July and August.

very pleasant surprise created all

DEALERS REPORT BEAN
STOCK LOW IN STATE
Good Market Predicted-Still Time to
Plant, Says M. A. c. Crops Man

Good Market Predicted-Still Time to
Plant, Says M. A. c. Crops Man
That the available supply of Mich
igan beans on hand at present is low
er than it has been for number Of
years is indicated by reports from
prominent members of the Michigan
Bean Trade. Indications point to a
practically cleaning out of hold-over
IN the Michigan market, when this
years crop is marketed in the fall and
winter.
A report issued to Michigan bean
lobbers on June 10 by Frank B.
Dreese, Secretary of the Michigan
Bean Jobbers Association, stated that
1859 Michigan elevators show total
of only 260 cars of beans, including
picking stock, or only about one and
two-thirds cars per elevator. Accord
ing to Mr.. MADISON, of H. E. Chatter
ton and Sons, one of the states larg-
est jobbing firms, the stocks on hand
are lower than they have been for the
past 10 years.
''The bean grower has apparently
excellent chances of marketing his
crop under good conditions" says the
Prof. j. F. Cox, head of the Farm
Crops Department at M. A. c." and
An increase of the Michigan acreage
appears warranted.
E'There is yet time for growers In
Michigan bean districts to increase
late as June 25 will make crop
their paintings. Beans planted as
late as June 25 will make a crop under
average conditions; and, with a good
fall, beans may be planted as late as
July first with fair assurance of a
crop" c.e .....

Special KIection.

A special election will be called for
early in July by the city commission
for the purpose of submitting to the
taxpayers the proposition Of bonding
the city for something over 100000
for improvements.
While the bonds were centioned in
the charter, and the commission could
go ahead and issue them without q
vote of the people, the commissioners
believe it the best policy to permit the
people to vote on them.
The bonds to be voted on are as fol-
lows: $48,698.53 for extension of wa
ter mains; $78,4O0 for improvements
at the water works, including new
reservoir, new electrically driven CEN
trifugal pump, and chlorinator to puri-
fly the water, ordered by the state
board of health; $6,311 for the city's
portion of the southwest Owosso SAN
itary sewer; $25, 109.84 for Owosso
storm sewer, and $125, 549.20 for the
special assessment portion Of these
two sewers.
The commission has closed deal
with the Kean, Highly Co., of Detroit,
for the sale of $4,000 worth of bonds,
the proceeds of which will be used to
refund the bonds foated originally in
1883 for the purpose of building the
water works plant.
The commission plans on carrying
on campaign of publicity, prior to
the election, to give the people all OF
the facts on the improvements pro-
posed and the amounts they will cost.
Commissioner Rosevear states that
in addition to the improvements pro-
posed for the present at the water
works, it will not be long before a
filtration plant would have to be built
and part of the city's water supply OBJ
tanned from the river. He asserts
that the constantly increasing con-
sumption of water, is rapidly out
stripping the flow from the six wells
now furnishing the city with water.
The last we'll "cut i'm few days ago.
is now flowing 100000 gallons day.
The water consumption here is 1885,
900 gallons day.
