RE-SURFACING
SUCCESS ON
MAIN STREET
COST Is REASONABLE

Re-surfacipg of the cement pavement
on Main street between Park and Sagi'
nav streets was finished last evening.
The work is credit to the city, being
the best pavement that is in Owosso,
and it is hoped that the people will see
fit to have more of the work done on
worn out streets that are now dis.
grace to such progressive city as
Owosso.
Commissioner Stebbins said that the
entire cost of the surfacing amounted
to about 81, 867. .25. and that on account
Of the fact that the old cement would
last for about year more. and then
would have to be taken up and new
pavement laid at the cost of about
$12, 900 90, he thought that it would be
wise to try the re surfsoing plan which
would last from IS to 20 years without
repair.
The composition of the surface is
of crushed rock coated with tar top
ped with sheet asphalt compressed to
about a two-inch thickness.

lice woman, who acted in the same

or said that in view of the exception
ally good work Mrs. MacLain had
done here, he was loath to lose her
services, and would like to raise her
salary. He said that she refused to
name salary, but had agreed when
he suggested it, that SIS per month
would be sufficient.
The commission authorized the
payment of that salary.
A re-assessment of the property

Art Society Needs More
Members

One hundred and three Owosso
people have taken memberships in
the new Art Society being formed
here, d. E. Crane, prime mover in
the plan, announced Saturday night.
Mr.. Crane said that $50 or 400 were
necessary to make the society a sue
cess. He wishes to secure enough
new members this week to make the
total at least that many.
Mr.. Crane said that if any persons
have applied for memberships and
their names do not appear on the
membership lists, he would appreci-
ate their notifying him. Member
ship blanks would then be sent them
at once, he added.
I'm addition to the musical course
for this year." Mr.. Crane said, 1--WE
hope, if there is sufficient made on
the concerts, to have some lecturers,
or possibly small company of play
ers appear. In any event at recep-
tions of the Art Society the direc-
tors can have some plays read and
invite the general public. This is
one of TIE very successful schemes
of the Dfama League, and If the
parts are fairly well taken, thus OBJ
tanning color and contrast, the audi
ence usually is much entertained.
This, of course, costs nothing beyond
the purchase Of an adequate num-
Der of books for the readers"
Mr.. Crane added that the time for
securing soloists to appear here was
growing short and made an appeal to
the people of the city to come for
ward and join the organization that
steps could be taken Immediately to-
ward securing talent for the 1921
program.

OWOSSO BOARD
OF COMMERCE
ENTERTAINS
Members of Bay City Or
ganization Speak

The Owosso Board of Commerce
entertained at its weekly luncheon
Wednesday noon Willard A. King,
vice president of the Bay City Board
of Commerce, James G. McCabe, for
mer secretary of the organization,
Fred c. Westover, twice president.
and S. r. Brichard, active in the
work of the commerce body.
Mr.. McCabe gave numerous con-
crete illustrations of what the Bay
City Board of Commerce has done
for Bay City. Among the accom-
plishments of that organization he
said were the securing of new in
dustries which had increased the
city's assessed valuation $4,000, 900.
Mr.. McCabe declared that since 1914
the membership of the Board of Com
merce had increased 600 percent,
while Bay City's population had in
creased five percent.
The speaker declared that nothing
can take the place of a chamber of
commerce, and asserted that the real
value to a community of such an or
ganization cannot be figured in dol
lars and cents. He said that to func-
tion properly a chamber of COM
merce should be the clearing house
Of all civic activities.
Mr.. McCabe declared that Owos-
so should have Chamber of Com
merce with a membership of at least
800, instead of $50 as it now has
and that at least 200 should attend
the weekly meetings. He said that
it would be easy to secure a men,
bership of that size, if intensive ef-
forts were made. and the benefits of
membership in the organization and
the possibilities of such an organiza-
ton for the good of the community
were emphasized.
Speaking of what Chamber of
/ Commerce will do for a city, and the
effect of the lack of one, Mr.. King
referred to Monroe, Mich. ifsBtpF' 's
"Twenty years ago." said Mr..
King, Monroe was larger than Jack
son, Lansing or Saginaw. Today
Monroe is still a town of 10000
while the other cities have gone for
ward rapidly and are now large
cities. Monroe has never had
chamber of commerce and the other
cities have had real live organiza-
tions of this kind. There you have
the difference"
The speaker also stressed the
point that-it is not the natural re-
sources of city which make it sue
cessful and flourishing, but asserted
that it was the people in that COM
munity.
Emphasizing the point that piling
up of money should not be the only
object in ones life, Mr.. King ad-
mitted that if one does not make
money, he is failure but added that
if he piles up money and does moth
ing more, he is a still bigger failure.
at is what you do that lives after
YOU" he said.
Mr.. King concluded with an ap-
peal for hearty cooperation by
everyone in the community to make
it bigger and better place, and
urged his hearers to "sell Owosso
every day."
Mr.. Birchard spoke only briefly.
expressing his pleasure at being pres
ent and referring his hearers to the
rest of the party for speeches.
