linquent land under the State Land

SITS. could be constructed and five,
a lot facing Monroe on which a
highway would form a continual

dered a tax sale In May 1888 Of
all tax delinquent lands prior TO

million parcels of land or over
one-third Of the state was includ-
ed in the plan. To provide for
the disposition OF these lands and
those that the state might receive
as the result of future sales the
Land Board Act was passed.

State Land Office Board. This
area contains 1875 per cent OF the
total parcels in the state,

aspirants are in the nome stretch
for the Sept 10 primary election.
Tame at the outset. the race has
come to life and political leaders
predict more than 100000 per
sons will cast their votes. which
would be a small increase over
last years vote.
Republicans are dividing their
attention between the forthcoming
primary and the promised trip to

mendous movement" by the faith

They are trying to promote a
train trip across the state for Will
kie with frequent stops en- route
for rear platform speeches to de-
pot rallies. This, they feel, would
give more persons an opportunity
to see him, and they hope a series
OF rousing receptions would help
the party.
But difficulties have developed.
Willkie may have to come into
Michigan from the East, after a
flying trip to a Republican state
convention in New York, and I'M
