 Formal Resolutions
 Formal resolutions which were adopted by the medical society read as follows:
 Whereas, the health officer of Jefferson county and the city of Bir- mingham has recently been made the object of a dastardly and cowardly assault, for no other apparent reason than that in his official capacity he has been faithful to the trust im- posed in him by the board of health and by the community. and
 Whereas, the spread of lawless- ness and of thuggery has reached such proportions in this community that no citizen. from the lowest to the highest, Is safe from similar mur- derous attack,
 Therefore, be it resolved, by the Jefferson County Medical society. that the newspapers. the civic or ganizations. the judiciary, and all good citizens of the county be urged to join in a mass meeting for the purpose of devising ways and means for the suppression of gang out rages and thuggery. and for the ap- prehension of the towards guilty of the same"

OWOSSO TRUCK. BUS
OPERATORS MEET
Mr.. Hoperstead of Michigan
Highway Transportation
Co. Was Speaker.
OWOSSO, April l4-Mr. Hopper

OWOSSO, April l4-Mr. Hopper
stead of the Michigan Highway
Transportation Co. spoke Friday
evening to the assembly of truck
and bus operators of Shiawassee
county at Wright's Truck Co.'s
office.
Mr.. Hoperstead has Travelled
throughout the state organizing the
bus and truck operators in all the
leading cities.
The organization he said stands
for the protection of the bus driver
financially, on all sides, also the
working out of the compiling cost
data on, truck, team and motor bus
operation as basis for just and
reasonable charges, and ii also in
vestigates all legislative acts that
are passed on the bus and truck
drivers of Michigan.
1t also helps to put inter-city
transport on sound basis, and
also to erect motor truck terminals
and clearing houses, to do away
with operation of an empty truck.
Mr.. Hoperstead said that the or
tied tonnage of trucks according
to their size.
He told how the railroads were
trying to influence Governor Groes-
beck into holding a special meet
ing of the legislature, so that the
operating of truck or truck COM
pany would be raised to such n
height that it would be impossible
for them to operate.
The railroads are not satisfied
with wanting to have the truck and
bus rates raised he said, but they
| want tonnage cut down to the min
| imum. The reason he declared for
| their action was because OF rail-
roads lack of business.
Mr.. Hoperstead also spoke OF the
Detroit Rapid Transit Co.. a cor
| out of Detroit. and as a corporation
with railroad backing.
The following figures given. are
their prices and profits for NOV
ing goods from Detroit to Pontiac:
charges 1851, and the total
amount charged for a full load both
ways was $54, giving a profit OF
$37.09.
! The following figures are given
as the total miles in round trip
from Detroit to, Grand Rapids and
miles, overhead expense $52.19, in
come for the trucking $93.33 CIV
ing a profit of $41.14.
| These figures are absolutely i'm
| possible, said Mr.. Hoperstead. II
/ hn
| would all be millionaires in a short
time. Proving therefore, that there
must be a motive for this company
giving such unreliable figures.
| He also spoke of concerns oper'
ating large fleets Of trucks ex.
| pecting to escape the paying of ar
| operating tax because of their
| hauling nothing but their own pro-
duce. This he declared as being
very inconsistent because surely
they realize a profit to some extent
Also some Manufacturing compa
MES operate more trucks than sew
eral truck companies combined anC
do as much damage to the roads a!
a truck company, and still the.
don't believe in paying tax, alst
they believe in loading their trucks
to the limit.
In closing his lecture Mr.. Hopper
stead told the assembly that II
1928 the railroads were going t
force the bus and truck operator
to organize through legislation
Also the acts that would be passet
would be with the railroad com
panies.
Therefore you men should or
game and have body of compe
| tent men to fight for your right
F. in the legislature of 1923, said MI
Hoperstead.
