CITY Officials Warned
Of Gas Company Suits
MARIAN PHILLIPS

City officials have the warning
before them that they may have
TO fight their way through a maze
Of stockholders lawsuits before Sc
curing the right TO condemn the
gas companys properties.
Henry A. Montgomery, gas COM
pany attorney. declared in answer
to a town meeting question that
during this threatened litigation
the companys credit would be de-
stroyed and extension OF mains and
the rendering Of adequate service
would be impossible
The question. which vas one
raised in recent Detroit Times
asked
Precisely what is the inter-
relationship OF the gas company
with its various holding compa-
MES and what Is the possibility
of ensuing litigation with those
holding corporations should the
city acquire the gas company %
Attorneys AnsUer
In answer Montgomery said:
IAN the common stock OF
VI e igan Consolidated Gas
Company Is held by the Ameri-
can Light and Traction Com
pany. Other holding companies,
enumerated at previous meet
ings, hold stock In the Ameri-
can Light and Traction Com
pany. A great many of the
stockholders Of these companies
are residents of Detroit and
Michigan.
I'm the evert the people Of
Detroit should vote TO acquire
the gas company. the stock
holders would certainly take
such court action a. would he
necessary TO preserve their
property from confiscation with
out receiving fair and just
compensation. Even the city Of
ficials admit that several years
litigation would necessarily
follow.

$18O00,0O0 of Insurance Purcha I'd
by 1852 Officers and Men
at Camp Livingston, La.
By JERRY PETIT
Detroit Times Defense Editor

Not all Of those billions OF de-
Tense dollars are going into new
environments, battleships. airplanes
and cannon. A very large portion
of il ends in the billfolds of SOL
diers. The February pay roll for
officers and men of Fort Custer
came to a neat $550,000. Officers
got S1S1 900 Of this and enlisted
men the remaining $4,000.
The 10,572 officers and men of
the 32d Division michigan and
Wisconsin National Guard1 now
training at Camp Livingston. La,
have purchased $1S,000,000 of ma
tional service life insurance. The
1000 Michigan officers and men
bought S5.300,0o0 worth of pro-
lection.
Under provisions OF the insur-
ance act of Oct. 8, 1910, men who
entered the service on or after
that date were allowed 120 DAYS
in which TO apply for policies
ranging from $1,000 TO $4,000 on
the five-year level premium term
plan. Monthly premiums vary from
SIS cents per $1,000 at 81 years,
TO II cents at 80 years.
Once the full complement Of
troops is received. there will be
Z 800 soldiers training in the area
around Alexandria. There viii be

ling the 32d Division), 800 at old
Camp Beauregard. 1i500 in tho
new Camp Beauregard area, and
2S,500 az Camp Claiborne.
The total number o. troops 70

Corps area will be- 4S0 OOo. with
Fort Bragg ~. G, having the

II you'd like 10 know how the
boys are behaving while away
from homo, here's a pretty good
yardstick. Military police report
IL arrests in the 32d Division for
violation of military law during
the last 30-day period. In the
Michigan regiments, the guard
house report shows the 10th
medical regiment was low with
three arrests. and the 10th quar-
termaster and engineer regiments
were next with four each. The
125th Infantry had II. the 126th
Infantry had rs. and 32d Division
Special Troops had six. In case
yo didn't know it-this is con-
sidered by the army to be an
excellent behavior record.

Since the first of Fort Clusters
$1,000 troops were concentrated
near Battle Creek last September,
only one man has died of illness.
The cause of his death was pneu-
monia. A comparison of such
record with that of any city of
$1,000 is all that is necessary to
demonstrate the effectiveness of
prevention program.
