COMM|SS|ONERSOF
OWOSSO HOLD MEET
Division of the City Into 10
Wards Was Leading Topic
of the Evening.
The Owosso Municipal city

The Owosso Municipal city
meeting Monday evening at the
city hall.
The main topic of the meeting
was the settlement of petition
brought up at the commission
meeting of March 6, for the di-
vision of the city into 10 wards.
This petition was brought to tho
city clerks office with 400 sigma
lures. The city commissioners
acted upon it March q. They de-
cided to refer the petition to the
city attorney, Van X. Pond.
Mr.. Pond, in the meeting Mon
day evening, said the petition
could be disposed of very briefly.
for various reasons.
In 1908 a charter was drawn up
to take effect Jan. l, 1903, making
the only way by which municipali-
ties could be incorporated, would
be by special Legislature act, or
by virtue of some general charter
act.
This is known as the home rule
act.
People of any city may adopt a
charter or have the charter re-
versed the same as q city may be
formed from a village.
This does not Interfere with the
home rule act. The act (section
33O4-3341) complied with the laws
of 1915 and has been amended
with each meeting of the legisla-
ture, including the second special
meeting Of the legislature of 1921.
This is the only authority for
the adoption or revision of a char
ter in Michigan, and it must be by
a petition of the people, with q
lawful heading, or it can be insti-
gated by the legislative body of a
municipality.
A petition drawn up for an
amendment of charter must
come strictly within the rules laid
down by the home rule act.
1t also must be acted OH by the
commissioners and submitted to
the vote of the people.
A revision of the charter was
attempted one year ago by Attor-
neys PulVer and Bush. It was
passed by the city commission as
legal, and submitted to the vote OF
the people at the election of April
4, 1921. The vote stood as fol-
lows: go for and LIE against.
The present petition is not law
fully drawn up. and is sponsored by
no organization, and contains only
the names of two business men in
the city among the 400 signers. II
Is thought that this petition will
not even be voted upon at the
coming election.

SHIAWASSEE OFFICERS
CONFISCATE LIQUOR

Frank Steel living near
Six Mile Creek, was arrested late
Tuesday evening by the sheriff's
department with the cooperation
of the city police.
The officers confiscated four gall
Ions of distilled liquor. and a boiler
full of beer, that was nearly ready
for drinking. There was also four
empty cases of beer bottles found
in the cellar.
steel upon finding his place be-
ing raided, tried to make his es-
cape but was stopped by Under
Sheriff Taylor. and a struggle re-
suited.
steel was finally overpowered
and taken to the county jail at
Corunna. where he Is held await
ing trial for the violation of the
prohibition law.

Ths senate will not ignore Mr..
Melons advice. In the cl. ak rooms
of tl upper house the word "bonus"
rarely is spoken. 1t hangs over the
senate like impending doom. Just
how the senior body will handle th
question is not yet determined, but
tacit understanding seems to pre-.
vail that by one parliamentary ma.
neuver or another something will
delay passage of the bonus. It was
the senate which last summer
blocked the bonus bill and probably
upon more words of warning from
the White House the measure will
be set aside until the finances of the
government are in better condition.
AS for the issue itself, it is expected
to bob up again in 1924 when the next
presidential primaries are under way.
BY that time, however, some repub.
lican leaders hope 10 revise the entire
revenue program and to make special
provision for fund to pay the bonus.
This revision will be attempted by
means of sales tax which Mr.. Hard
ing now openly favors for the sold
ier bonus

DOES MUCH DAMAGE
Plate Glass Windows Blown
Out When Coffee Roaster
Explodes; No One Hurt.

Mr.. Eggelson, of Owosso, who
for years has been employed as a
mail carrier, but who received a
lay-off, was operating the machine

ployes, Eggleston had just begun

He had turned on the gas and
went for a match, So much gas
accumulated that when the match
was lighted an explosion followed
No one was injured. The plate
glass windows were blown out
across the walk. The roaster was
practically undamaged.
The plate glass windows are a
total loss, as no insurance was

OWOSSO CHAMBER
HOLDS LUNCHEON
Plans for New Buildings
Were Discussed, Reports
Were Submitted.

President Kirk White appointed
the following men on the armory
committee: j. A. Mcdonald, Joe
Mcdonald, DIR. II. Hume, G.. Finch,
James Oliver Curwood, Frank
Freeman, l.. N. Parker, Sidney
Bowling, Justin Shattuck, and e
j. Wellman.
John Mcdonald, the chairman.
said that the newly appointed COM
mittee had already been sounding
the proposition, and that every
thing looked favorable.
Mr.. Mcdonald also said that the
people OF Owosso should be proud
and appreciate the value of a COM
mittee for the money the commit
tee has saved the business men of
this community, from dupes who
make it their business to get the
money easy.
He also brought up the subject
of OwosSo building a mausoleum.
An investment that would cost the
city between $15O,000 or 100000.
Mr.. Mcdonald said, he thought the
investment would really be a dead
one.
Mr.. Shattuck spoke for a few
moments saying that statesmen rep
senting an Ohio mausoleum COM
pany had nearly received permits
sion to sell crypts and erect one
here n year ago, but upon investi-
cation of chamber of commerce
committee, they were refused. He
also said that If q mausoleum is
erected it will be erected in the
cemetery with some one to care for
Ia I.N NNUN
the city.
The question of the city hall was
also brought up. There has been
three plans submitted, one is the
building of new city hall at a
cost of $4,000 to $150,000. The
second is the adding of another
story TO the present building. The
third is the building of a new fire
station and move the city offices
on the first floor of the present
building. The plan was suggested
by Mr.. Cobb of the Consumers
Power Co.
Mr.. Dewey suggested the paving
of s. Water ST., between Main and
Washington and also the opening
of street between Cornstalk and
Main, which would divert a large
share of traffic from the intersec-
tions of Main and Washington SITS.
Mr.. Dewey also suggested the
building of schools before that of
civic buildings.
Guy Crane made the motion that
the problem of building city hall
be referred back to the city COM
mission, until they can give definite
plans with prices quoted, for the
chamber OF commerce to back.
The motion was seconded by C.
II. Rigley.
