Macomb County Board of SUI
pervisors Sept. 10, 1889 by Pros
ecuting Attorney ivan A. Johns
ton setting forth the right Of
a county drain commissioner to
refund drainage bonds without
the approval of the board Of
supervisors.
Attorney General Rushton's
opinion was the result of q re-
quest for a ruling made by
Johnston several months ago,
prior to Rushton's entry onto
his present official post.
Controversy concerning re-
funding of drain bonds came to
a head in 1899 when the late
Bert Engelbrecht, then drain
commissioner, entered into 2
contract for the refunding Of q
gigantic drain bond issue With
the Peninsular State co1mpsny.

After supper a scramble began
among the Gamma Taus to get
ready for their respective par
ties. Slim, bright-cheeked girls
dashed wildly bout raiding
their sisters rooms for bits of
jewelry, walled over snagged
hose and fought with stubborn
curlS.
Even Paula's low spirits took
a jump as she slid into her new
formal. Its sea-green chiffon cas-
caded down from her slim waist
and foamed about her ankles.
The tight-fitting bodice, with its
heart-shaped neckline, nodded
her firm figure into lovely lines.
She whirled before the mirror,
loving the whisper of her taffeta
slip, loving the little glints of
light that raced like shining
flies throug the fine gold
threads woven into the chiffon.
Looking at her radiant young
self in the mirror, Paula said de-
terminedly. 81 will have a good

Tony's fraternity had spared
no expense to make the party a
success. A band from the city
dispensed music both sweet and
hot. A huge buffet supper was
spre d in the dining room.
French doors onto the veranda
had been thrown open 10 permit
dancing outside, but around 10
o'clock q shower drove the guests
back into the big living room.
Tony, handsome in a white
mess jacket, gave Paula his COM
plete attention. When he held
her tight she forgot that his
dancing was short of perfection.
She closed her eyes and aban-
doned herself to the gay mood
of the party. A mood compound
ed of spring, soft Music, perfume
and the carefree spirit that fol-
lows q winters hard work.
She was dancing with Tony
when something sailed through
the open French doors and broke
on the floor. The sulphurous
odor of bad eggs filled the room.
Tony, the first to realize what
had happened. dashed for the
door. Paula, not far behind, saw
him start down the steps, then
crumple to the ground.
