man, when coming to the White
| house bridge from the south, fol-
lowing a rain, struck place in the
road where there was no gravel and
the truck tried to reverse ends. Aft
er quick and prayerful (perhaps)
manipulation, he went over the
creek bank. Because of the fact
that tree had been cut leaving the
stump two inches higher than the
truck would clear, he stopped While
sudden like he escaped injury The
/! truck was damaged some, but after
Chloral Gerlach. with team and

the road, he continued to cry wares
Luckily he didn't have any custard
or pumpkin pies aboard This bridge
which is on our old home farm used
to set with the road, but rains fell
and the flood came and moved one
end down the creek. Instead Of
moving it back, an abutment was
built under it, and that causes you
to make a "gee" or 'haw' turn,
according to which way you are 60
ing. and do it quick. This was all
right when folks used oXen-or
slow horses 1t might be well to
set the bridge straight.

House of Representatives is in
clined to give the school system
S43, 100000, which would be a
boost of 100000 year. There
will be big fight over the method
of distribution. with Superintend-
emf of Public Instruction Paul
Elliott defending Wayne County
against another raid.
Envious of the bulginC money
boxes at the capital, the counties
are demanding Is per cent of all
sales tax receipts. This is another
method of shifting the cost of
local governments TO the state,
thus forcing DetroiterS to con-
tribute greater amounts TO the
rural areas.
This bill was introduced this
week by Rep. Haskell L. Nichols
(R) of Jackson. 1t provides that
Is per cent of the sales tax money
shall be returned TO the counties
on a population basis. The counties
in turn would give two-thirds to
the cities and villages and pocket
the remainder.
Another measure, which prob
ably will be passed. shifts the
cost of caring for INDECENT sick
adults TO the state government.
These bills now are paid by the
counties.
Already approved by the House,
the measure appropriates S1.500.-
600 A year for the purpose. 1t
discriminates against Wayne by
that Is per cent of the
money shall be divided on a popu-
lation basis and only 25 per cent
according to need. All other ap~
preparations for welfare and medi-
cal purposes are on basis of need
alone.
With all Of this money in the
treasury. the Legislature will have
little trouble framing a balanced
budget.
