u. OF M. DORMITORY
PLAN FAVORED HERE

Considerable support among Owos-
so alumni of the University of Michi-
gan. for the project to build dormi-
tories for the students in Ann Arbor
has been obtained here by +. f. Ben
nett, '07, it is said, and stock for the
project has been subscribed to a con-
siderable amount.
The rapid growth of the student
body in recent years has taxed the
supply of rooms in Ann Arbor to such
an extent that room rents have be-
come higher than is reasonable, it is
believed and the alumni have organ
lied corporation to build the much
needed dormitories, in view of the
fact that the University has no funds
for such buildings.
1t is planned to erect at least ten
dormitories, each to accommodate
one hundred students and costing
about 100000. Two of the units
are to be ready for occupancy by Feb
ruary, 1928. The income from rent
ais will be sufficient to maintain the
buildings as well as to pay interest
on the investments and create a sink
ing fund for the retirement of stock.

SMITH SUPPORTED
BY FARM BUREAUS
Gratiot County Organization
Latest to Take
Stand

The candidacy of William M. Smith
for congress to succeed Joseph w.
Fordney, who are having served for
more than 20 years has decided not
to run for congress again, is meeting
with the support of farmers through
out the district. The Farm Bureaus
of Clinton and later Ionia, have
adopted resolutions strongly favor
ing Mr.. Smiths candidacy and on
August 16 the executive committee of
the Gratiot farm bureau gave the
matter serious consideration. The
result was the adoption of the fol-
lowing resolutions:
To Gratiot County Farm Bureau
Members:
Your executive committee person
ally endorses the candidacy of Will
liam M. Smith of Clinton county, for
congress. Our representative should
be independent, honest, experienced,
"fair minded" and capable. We be-
lieve Mr.. Smith possesses these quail
ties in greater degree than any other
candidate.
While we do not presume to eX-
press any views but our own, we
wish to call the attention of every
member of this farm bureau to the
fact that the Agricultural section of
the Eighth Congressional district has
played only an insignificant part in
the selection of its congressman for
the past 80 years. This should not
be and need not be if the rural vot-
ers realize they can poll two-thirds
of the votes in the district. United
action and your presence at the polls
give you control Of the situation. We
urge you to give this matter your
thoughtful consideration and say it
with your votes September II.

Dead Mans Crossing"
Made Safe by Order

A full stop for all interurban cars
crossing the town-line, better known
as Dead Mans Crossing" has been
ordered by the Public Utilities Com
mission of Michigan, it was stated
in a letter Wednesday to William
Cline, chairman of the county road
commission.
Following the accident in which
L. c. Cooper was killed at the cross
ing a few weeks ago, Mr.. Cline took
up with the state commission the
matter of making the crossing safe.
Several plans were suggested, but the
one suggested by Mr.. Cline, that of
stopping, was adopted.
The order goes into effect in five
days.
Mr.. Cline also stated, as did Mr.. R.
Renwick, resident engineer of the
state highway department, that there
was no chance for the completion of
the Owosso-Flint pavement this fall,
because of the cement shortage, caus-
ed by the coal strike. The highway
department will, if possible, secure
enough cement to finish the road to
Kerby, but there is no hope of finish
ing the job to the Genesee county line
this fall.

ed to the National where he stayed

BUILDINGS; RACES AND FREE
ACTS AGAIN FINE

With only the Friday races and fire
works and the Saturday automobile
races left, the 1922 Owosso fair
has been acclaimed a com
plete success. The best schedule OF
horse races ever seen in the county were
staged; the biggest livestock exhibit,
aud the best, was shown; the fireworks,
shows were better than ever before and
the crowds again jammed the gro nds
for the three big days.
Fair weather prevailed for the first
two days with the exception of brief
shower Wednesday afternoon, but
Thursday rain settled down late in the
afternoon after the races and continued
just long enough to settle the dust and

the history of the Fair that there wasn't

has been put under one big tent. and

comment, both for its quality and the
number of exhibitors.
Tomorrow will see the biggest auto
race card ever planned here, which will
complete week of mixed running and
harness races that has set new stand
ard of speed and competition at the
Fair.
Entertsinment this year was another
of the best features. Fireworks, which
started shortly after dark each night,
were patrouized by almost the entire
crowd or all that could get to see them,
the display showing remarkable accur.
acy in pictnriug the scenes and being
spectacular in the extreme. Free acts
were hea led by the Hocun family with
its trained horses, ponies and dogs,
which brought contnn-d applause ON
the spectators while the Clty band with
its soIoist George Murphy, tenor, drew
repeated epcores
Judging the exhibits was begun Tues
day and completed Wednesday, a parade
of all the livestock exhi hibited taking
place Thursdty afternoon in front of

MARSH FIRE PUTS
CROPS I'M DANGER

Burning in a marsh, dried by the
continued drought fire which start
ed last Friday is blazing on the A.
j. Tingley farm in Rush township
and menacing standing crops and
buildings.
A representative of the state de-
partment of safety is on the job now
and organizations of farmers are
fighting the blaze. Extensive damage
will be done if the fire is not extin-
guished shortly, farmers say, and
every effort is being put forth to get
it under control.
The fire is of particularly stub
born nature to fight, because of the
depth to which it burns, it is said,
and the only thing thht would COM
pletely extinguish it would be a soak
ing rain.

TWO FIRES WRECK
MALLEBLES ROOF
Clifford Zendler, Foreman
Terribly Burned, Will
Recover

Two fires within less than two days
at the American Malleables plant re-
suited in the nearly fatal burning of
Clifford Zendler, a. foreman in the
factory and the complete wrecking
of the middle section of the roof over
the factory. The first fire was last
Thursday night and the second Satur-
day afternoon.
In the first fire, which was discov-
cred about IL o'clock the roof was
entirely burned away for a distance
of so or 60 yards and wrecked for
some distance further. The difficulty
of getting at the fire from the out
side delayed the work of the firemen
but when they managed to get the
hose playing on the blaze it was
brought under control without much
further delay.
Zendler, in the second fire, was up
over the annealing ovens, cleaning
out one of the hoppers from which
powdered coal is blown into the ovens.
The heat from the ovens ignited the
coal, and an explosion followed. Zend-
ler was enveloped in flames, and
screaming with pain, he leaped down
veritable human torch. Fellow
workmen extinguished the flames
after great deal of effort, and he
was rushed to the hospital where he
is said to be recovering.
AS the flames shot upward from
the coal hopper, they ignited the roof,
which was dry as tinder and within
a minute the roof was in flames.
When the fire department arrived, the
flames extended over space of 100
or more feet, while great clouds of
black smoke rolled away.
The firemen laid several lines and
employees of the company did like
wise, with the result that within a
few minutes seven or eight streams
were being played on the fire, and
it was quickly controlled.
Interference by the crowd at the
fire Thursday night delayed the work
Of the firemen considerably, automo-
biles being driven over the hose and
the curiosity Of some interfering ma
terially with the work.
Clayton B. Lehr, one of those who
interferred, was arrested by Trooper
Paul Kutter, who is in charge of the
detachment of state police here, and
this morning paid SIS fine and
$13.45 costs in justice court for be-
ing drunk and disorderly.

WANTS S. WATER
ST. PAVING WIDER
Arthur Berner Asks 46 Foot
Width Instead of SO
Specified

Proposing that the pavement to be
laid on Water street from Washington
to Main next year be made 46 instead
OF 36 feet wide, Arthur Berner ap-
peared before the City Commission
Monday night to discuss the possibil-
ity OF getting the change made in the
specifications already voted by the
people.
Berner declared that a 36-foot
street is not wide enough there, pre-
dieting that within five years that
thoroughfare will be one of the most
heavily Travelled in the city. He
pointed out that Ball street is only
80 feet wide and said that everyone
knows that it is too narrow.
Berner would obtain the extra
width for the street by making the
sidewalks five feet narrower on each
side of the street, thus adding ten
feet to the width of the pavement
without taking any land off the
property. He declares that ten
foot sidewalk would be more ad-
vantageous than a 15-foot walk, as
now planned.
Considerable discussion followed
the suggestions, Mayor Wright agree
ing that the changes should be made
and suggesting that petition be cir
culated among the property owners,
allowing them to pay the same pro-
portion in the wider pavement they
are to pay for the present amount
voted and pay the rest out of the city
budget.
Commissioner Stebbins objected to
the whole idea of making changes
on the grounds that it was too late
and that the. property owners should
have suggested their changes when
the time was announced. He also
pointed out that the people were fail
ing to pay the special assessments
already made and that the city could
not go ON with it's improvements with
out quicker pyament for finished
work.
Phillips & Taylor, operators of
the Flint-Owosso bus line, paid for
licenses for it's several buses, under
the new ordinance recently adopted,
and filed a blanket bond of $4,000
covering all of their rigs. They paid
under portest, however, with the un-
derstanding that if the supreme court
should hold ordinances taxing inter-
urban busses, unconstitutional within
the next year, that their money would
be refunded.
