LeWis Completes in
District Contest

Phil Lewis, who sucessively won
first honors in the local High School
oratorical contest and i'm the sub-dis-
trict contest, with his grafton, "The
Hope of the World" will compete for
honors in the district contest at Ho-
well, Friday evening, April 28th.
Since the winning Of the sub-dis-
trict contest at Owosso earlier in the
month, Lewis has been working con-
sistently for the district contest un-
der the direction Of Lyle Barnhart,
of the high school faculty, who has
had wide experience in public speak
ing obtained while at Alma Col
lege, and it is expected that the
Alma lad will show big improve
ment in his delivery at Howell Fri
day evening and hopes are being held
that the lad will be returned win
ner.
Lewis will face much harder op-
position at Howell than he did in the
sub-district contest, as he will COM
pete against the winners of the var
ious sub-districts, that go to make up
the district, which includes Detroit,
Flint, Lansing, Ann Arbor and Jack
son schools. There will be four con-

Jackson contractor until it is demon
strated by court proceedings that
this money cannot be returned to the
city treasury, where the court says
it belongs by the judgment that it
rendered
The next step in the case will be to
advertise the well digging machinery,
now in possession of the City, for
sale and to apply the proceeds upon
the judgment. A judgment for the
deficiency will then be secured and
the City will proceed against Purcell
for the amount that remains unpaid.
1t is certain that the people of AL
ma will watch further developments
in the case with great interest, as it
is fairly certain that nearly $4,000
of the judgment will remain unpaid
after the well machinery is sold. The
fact that this amount of money will
mean great difference in taxes in
the future in this city, makes it only
to be expected that Alma people will
be highly interested as it is their own
affairs which are involved in the case.

DISTRIBUTING PLANT.

The Connor Ice Cream Com
pany of Owosso broke ground yester-
day for a modern storage and dis
tributing plant in this city, which
will be erected on the ground near
the Cleveland Grocery in the eastern
part of the city.
The building will be so feet in
length and 32 feet in width. The
foundations will be on concrete, and
the walls of hollow tile, with a front
of brick construction. The floors will
be of reinforced concrete. Modern
equipment will be installed through
out the plant.
The plant will be used entirely for
storage and distribution, the COM
pany feeling need for getting in
closer touch with it's trade in this
part of the state where it is doing n
large and increasing business. Alma
offers fine distributing point for
the company, which is one of the big
reasons as to the decision to locate
the plant in Alma.

tive of the company, who was in the
city yesterday, stated that it was ex-
pected that the plant would be ready

BURT RESIGNS
AS Commander
Of THE LEGION
EXECUTIVE HEAD OF GEORGE

DERED RESIGNATION.
c. X. Robinson
NeU Post Leader

At the regular meeting of the
George w. Myers Post No. 1872
American Legion Of this city, held
last Thursday evening, at the Legion
rooms in the City Hall, l.. ID. Burt
post commandant, rendered his resig-
nation to the post and after it was
accepted Chester X. Robinson, vice
commandant, was elevated to the
place vacated by Burt.
The resignation of Mr.. Burt, as
commandant of the post, was made
because Of the fact that he felt that
he did not have the time that should
be devoted to the executive office of
the post Several short talks were
made at the meeting by a number
of the members, all of which expressed
deep regret that Mr.. Burt should
find it necessary to retire from the
office of post commandant. When
the matter of a successor was put un-
der discussion there was a general
feeling that the vice commandant
should have the office, and when q
motion to this effect was made Mr.
Robinson was unanimously elected
AT this meeting the Legionaires
voted in favor of holding joint meet
ing this evening with the Women'S
Auxiliary. A card party will be
one of the features of the meeting
tonight. All members of the Legion
and the Womens Auxiliary are invit.
ed to attend.

SEVERAL NEW ACTIVITIES ARE
PLANNED THAT PROPOSED
BUDGET PROVIDES FOR.
Reynolds Estimates
City Needs SI2I,OOO

The annual budget for the city of
Alma will probably provide for
around $4,000 when it is passed by
the city commission in May. The
tentative budget submitted to the
commission Tuesday evening by Will
liam +. Reynolds, city manager,
calls for S12l, 900 for the coming
year, but there are indications that
the commission may find a way to
pare 81 900 from this amount.
This provides a budget far less
than the one of year ago, which
called for $l56,388.43. The budget
a year ago carried an item Of $685.
8S8.43 for paving work, which will
be missing this year. With this
amount left out of the budget of n
year ago the tentative program for
the coming year will show saving
over the budget of last year as a
number of new activities are includ-
ed in the proposed budget for 1922
%.
The tentative program calls for an
increase of $2,280 for the library, a
capitAl outlay for the waterworks Of
$500, which was not called for last
year, and an additional outlay for
street maintenance of $4,000 for inn
provement work on East Superior,
Ely and other streets. 1t also con-
tains an item of $4,000 for the pro-
viding of tourists park for the city.
kn& a OF
years budget because there was no
election this spring, is the sum of
$1,000 for the election next spring.
With the assuming of number of
new activities the money for which
is included in the proposed budget
shows that the other city funds for
the coming year will be using far less
money than was the case this past
year.
There is of course no indication of
what the tax rate per thousand of
valuation will be this coming year at
this time. Until the assessments
have been made and the valuations
ascertained, it will be impossible to
give a fair approximate tax rate
There is every indication that there
will be a big slice in valuation this
year and this will mean a proper
tionate increase in the tax rate
There is every expectation, however
that the tax rate will be much less
than year ago when it was $11.35
The probabilities are that the rate
this year will be considerably under
$ll.00. How much under this
amount the rate will be will depend
upon the decrease in valuations.
1t is understood that an informa
meeting of the city commission viii
be held this evening, at which time
salaries and other matters will b,
gone into and it is possibly that {
slight amount may be Topped from
the proposed budget, bringing j
down to $4,000, if it can be done
consistently.
