SEEK HIGHER RATES ON ORE
Railroads Ask 10 Cent Raise Per Ton
May BE Counter Move

Michigan railroads handling iron
ore from the Lake Superior ranges
have prepared higher tariffs and are
asking increased rates for carrying
the product from the mines to the
docks at the lake ports.
The railroad proposes to increase
the line haul TO Ashland 10 cents.
From points on the Marquette range
TO Marquette the proposed increase Is
cents ton with an increase In the
dock handling charge OF 5 cents.
This would increase the haulage and
handling charge from Ishpeming and

cents; and from Gwinn and Republic
TO Marquette from rs and S5 cents.
The railroads propose TO increase the
line haul from the Gogebic range TO

cents in each instance and the dock
handling charge cents, advancing

charge from the Gogebic range TO

THE AMAsA SCHOOL BUILDING
PROBLEM

Al the time OF this writing there
are no new developments in the
school building muddle. One OF the
points demanded by the Taxpayers
Association is that the board OF edu-
cation tender their designations one
at time and that the remaining mem
bers after each resignation fill the
vacancy by appointing a person nam
ed by the Taxpayers Association.
This the members OF the Board OF
Education positively refuse TO do as
they have done nothing for which
their designations should be demand
ed Their books and records are op-
en- TO all for inspection.
The sentiment OF the people OF this
township in general is with the board
or education. They have been work
ing under great difficulties due to the
unlocked for increase in the cost OF
labor and materials. They have had
to do a lot OF travelling and a lot OF
work In order TO secure the necessary
funds. II surely seems a great pity
at this time that the work OF com
pleting the building should be stopped,
resulting in unnecessary damage and
incurring many unnecessary expen-
ses. Some maple flooring and mill
stuffs have Just been unloaded that
have been here nearly a month. The
freight on the above was s129.17 and
the demurrage was $1632S.
