TAXES ON THE INSTALLMENT
PLAN?
Why couldn't banks carry on "taN
clubs" similar to the well known
"Christmas clubs "
A property owner who also has
"a bank account (f there is such a
thing) could divide the yearly taxes
into twelve parts and by signing an
agreement with the bank, have an
inStallment drawn rom his account
each month.
At tax-paying time the taxes are
all paid, thus rclicveing the tax
payer Of d great deal of worry; the
bank has had use Of the money for
a year; and the city and county
would probably have fewer delin-
Quent taxes.

Eve, but the youngsters had been
promised a visit from Santa. They
waited until almost dark. Such
a scramble when the policemen
came pounding up the steps.
Every officer who gave his serv-
ices TO the cause agreed that the
long day spent delivering the
Christmas packages was the most
satisfactory of his year.
The Boy Scouts enjoyed it, too,
and enjoyed the party at the vari-
Gus precinct stations given in their
honor after the work was done.
The hard working truck drivers
whose services were donated by
their bosses agreed, too, that the
arduous day m lie Christmas
worth while. for them.

Detroiters Healthier
In 1910, Report Shows

Despite the-faet general
death rate for 1910 OF S.3 per 1000
population is the same in Detroit
as in 1889. the city is much
safer place to live in, the board of
health said today.
Old age deaths were given as
the major factor in maintaining
the death rate. a greater number
of persons living into middle and
late life and the balance of deaths
swinging from early years of life
to later years. Specific decreases
were noted in pneumonia, diph-
iberia. tuberculosis and infant
deaths.

JUST A PROBATION

This program was not set up
with any idea Of exciting fear,
but purely to forestall catAstro-
phe," explained Doctor Nc
Donald.
Wayne County has become
the focal point or hub Of our
national rearmament program
and as such Is naturally the logi-
cal place for attack In case Of
war, or sabotage.
MANY a campaign has been
lost by two little words TOO late
and we simply wish TO be FORE
handed.
Present facilities are ex-
tremely inadequate to meet a
major disaster. such as an ex-
plosion or fire In any of the
large industrial establishments
resulting in injuries to hundreds
Of workmen and civilians, or
direct attack in case of war.
HUGE EFFORT
"The program is, tremendous,
as dodt9rs see 1t, but II is neces-
Sary that every effort be ex-
pended TO locate sources Of
supply, first aid stations, etc. in

service should II be necessary,
rather than wait until II Is too
