TREASURER'S OFFICE
MAY MAKE CHANGES

Several suggestions for the better
ment of conditions in the city treas
urer's Office are contained in a re-
port made by d. M. Collition, public
accountant, who recently examined
the books of the city and made an
audit of them for the past year.
With the exception of the treas
urer's office, Mr. Collition reports the
books in satisfactory shape. Calling
attention to the fact that the total of
outstanding notes for special assess
ments is growing instead Of decreas-
ing, Mr.. Collition makes suggestion
that efforts be made to keep pay
ments up to date.
Officials state that the slowness
with which people pay for special as
.sessment work is responsible for the
increase in the outstanding accounts
in this department, meanwhile men
tioning that requests for Improvement
continue to be made, while payment
for finished work is extremely slow.

DROWNING BOY SAVED
BY NEIGHBOR'S ACTION

Quick thinking on the part of
G.. C. Generke, of the Generke Bak-
ing company, Sunday, probably saved
the life of little Billy, the three years
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Scar
let, West Main street.
The little fellow, while playing in
the yard of Roy Aberle, North Park
street, fell into the cistern, the cover
of which had been removed. Generke
saw the child fall, and running to
the cistern, let himself down, holding
to the rim with both hands, and sus.
pending himself above the water
which was several feet deep. AS the
child came to the surface, Generke
caught him between his feet and held
him above the water, until the boys
father, summoned by Generke's calls
for help, came to his aid.
Scarlet pulled both Generke and
the boy, still held safely between
Generke's feet, to safety.
The, child was found to be meme
the worse for his experience.

after the accident.
Mr.. Booth was riding with James
Sisson of North Dakota, who had

was going to East Lansing to attend
the farmers day program of the

OFFICERS GET 5
IN WHISKY RAID
Find Quantities OF Liquor,
Mash and First
Class Still

Following six months of vigilance
in watching the Six Mile Greek set
tlement Of foreigners, prohibition of
ficers of the sheriff's forces raided
homes of several of the men under
suspicion Thursday night and brought
forth quantities of mash, whisky and
stills, hidden in innumerable ways
and all carefully guarded by dis
guises of ingenious invention. The
men arrested were Con Winske, Joe
Kuchar, Frank Koltila, Stanley Ko-
nosko and, Saturday morning, Christ
Kritz, all of whom have indicated
their intention of fighting the charge
of violating the prohibition laws ex-
cept Konosko, who conducts the store
at the Creek, who waived examina-
ton and stated that he would plead
guilty, officers state. Bail was set for
each prisoner but none was furnished.
There were IL officers in the party
and they split into parties of three.
Leaving the sheriff's office by automo-
bile shortly after 2 o'clock, they
drove to the Six Mile Creek, over the
State road, to avoid passing through
Owosso, for fear that some of those
who had been obtaining their liquor
at the Creek might see them and
warn the foreigners.
Reaching the Greek, the party sep
arated, each group of three driving
up to the house agreed on, showing
the search warrant, and starting the
search.
The home Of Winske yielded the
biggest haul, 15 gallons of whisky be-
ing found there. The cleverness with
which it had been concealed was il
Illustrative of how far the moonshiners
will go to carry one their business.
The liquor, in 20-gallon keg, was
found buried under several inches of
dirt, which had been carefully re-
placed, and over which a pumpkin
vine was growing. Constable George
Coe of Owosso discovered it when,
while jabbing a shovel around in the
dirt, the shovel struck the cover of
the barrel. The cover had hole cut
through it, so that when Winske
wanted any liquor, he could reach in
and dip it out, then replace a small
er cover and put the dirt and vine
back in place.
On later investigation a still was
discovered under two feet of dirt, op-
Grating in an old well, concealed by
vines and entered through Il sodded
over tunnel from the river bank.

SCHOOLS TO GIVE
VOCATIONAL WORK
Change Requirements fol
Graduation; Plan
Peoples College"

A course in vocational training,
calculated to make the high school
the peoples college," was adopted
at the meeting Of the board of edu-
cation Friday night. Offered by
Superintendent E. j. Whitman, the
plan for the new course of training
was dopted without change.
The purpose of the new course is
to enable those who will not go to
college, to obtain practical training
in the high school for life after leav-
ing school,
The new course requires all pupils
to take three years of English and
one of United States history and
Civics, but no pupil entered in it is
compelled to take any foreign Ian
guage or science. Under the old plan,
these studies were necessary to grad
uate. The new course lays stress on
the practical studies such as COM
mercial arithmetic, rapid calculation,
manual training, bookkeeping, short
hand, typewr;ting, agriculture, COM
mercial law and economics.
No person will be graduated with
out one unit of mathematics, which
may be commercial arithmetic and
rapid calculation, but the school will
strongly recommend that all pupils
take algebra and geometry. Pupils
preparing for college should elect,
according to the board, as a mini
mum, two years Of Latin or French,
algebra, geometry, and one year lab
oratory science. Engineering de-
partments generally require three
years of mathematics and physics
while medical and dental schools gen.
orally require chemistry. The Univer-
sity of Michigan accepts three units
of commercial, industrial or special
work.
Under the new course, recognition
of commercial preparation will be
given pupils who elect commercial
arithmetic, rapid calculation, book
keeping, and two years of shorthand
and typewriting. Special CONNER
cial diplomas will be given to pupils
who in addition elect business Eng
lish, commercial law and commercial
geography. Credits for special work
will be given under certain controlled
conditions, credits to be determined,
for the following: Free hand draw
ing, glee club work, chorus, debat-
ing, spelling, orchestra, certain stu
dent activities and certain outside
activities.
The elective subjects prescribed for
the first year are: Commercial arith-
metic, rapid calculation, algebra, gen.
eral science, manual training, house
hold science, agriculture, ancient his
tory, community civics; for the Sec
ond year: Latin 10, bookkeeping 1
geometry, biology, manual training
household arts, agriculture, business
English, commercial geography, and
Modern and Medieval history; third
year: Latin, bookkeeping 2, short.

but made the order restraining the
strikers from picketing permanent.

the railroad company convincing proof
that there had been vic ence here, and
has since cited Chief Denyes for con-
tempt Of court as he considers his affi-
dsvit untrue and an affront to the court

REQUIRE CITY TO
MAKE CHANGES IN
FIRE PROTECTION

If Owosso is to retain her present
status on the Michigan Inspection
Bureau list, upon which her insur-
ance rates are based, several i'm
provements in fire protection must be
made, it was reported Thursday. The
changes include addition of from two
to four men to the fire department,
an increase in the pumping capacity
at the water works plant; strength
ing of the present water distribution
system and the fire alarm system,
and provision for rigid enforcement
of the National Electrical code rules
and local electrical ordinances.
The city at present is in class three,
and it's fire protection grades as three
and one-half class, while its National
board classification is sixth class.
The recommendation calls for in
crease of men in the fire department
until there shall be 16 fully paid men,
including the chief, and some inn
provements in equipment and fire
alarm boxes.
The report reported favorably on
the management of the water works
but stated that the records were in
sufficient and called for several
changes and improvements.
More careful handling of building
laws, some revisions in them; more
fire alarm boxes, and few general
changes in other matters were includ-
ed in the report.
