HOUGHTON-The big sprawling
Upper Peninsula of Michigan, where
once the lumberjack and the cop
per and iron miner We'd for supre-
macy, must look to recreation, agri-
culture and proceSsed forest prod

walton.
This was the collective message
voiced by speakers at an Upper
Peninsula Conference on Postwar
Development which was held at
Michigan College of Mining and
Technology at Houghton just three
days prior to VI Day.
The timely program was spon-
sored by the Michigan Press Asso-
citation in the interest Of public
service. 1t was a preview of things
yet to come.
This scenic peninsula, between
Lake Michigan and Cake Superior,
has been badly depleted of its min
eral and timber resources.
The copper mines at Houghton,
Hancock and Calumet, which once
provided employment for tens of
thousands of workers, enriched
more bank accounts in Boston than
those in the Copper Range. Mines
are running short of good grade ore:
many shafts are down at levels too
low for competitive peace-time OPP
erations. The federal copper subsidy,
justified by war emergency, is due
to end in a few weeks. Copper mines
are on the way out.
The best timber of the Upper
Peninsula has been stripped by big
lumber companies Land was left to

official, and making an unofficial
estimate. placed the town popula-
tion at 1923. The last word. how
ever, in the matter. must come
from the federal census bureau in
Washington. ID C.. to whom the
figures have been forwarded.
The official figure once in the
hands OF the council. will enable
the town to apply for its share OF
the state sales tax revenues. II
the federal bureau returns the es-
tablished population figure by the
second week in January, and town
officials are fairly hopeful that il
will, share OF the revenues col
lected for the month of December
should be given Coolidge.
Also, completion of this census
will mean that Coolidge will be in
line TO receive revenue from auto
mobile taxes. These revenues are
divided four ways: One part goes
tc the state, one part to the coun-
ty, one part to the incorporated
towns of the county, and one part
to the school fund.
While it is difficult to estimate
what amounts of sales tax and au-
tomobile tax revenues Coolidge
will get, it is possible to make
some comparisons. Besides Cool
idge, there are only two incorpo-
rated towns in Pinal county
Florence and Casa Grande.
Florence has a population, based
on the 1910 federal census, of
1888 while that OF Casa Grande is
1,545, or total of 1928 which
gives Coolidge an official popula-
tion of more than double the COM
bined score OF her two sister cities.
This means that Coolidge will re-
ceive slightly more than half OF
the automobile tax monies which
have hitherto been divided about
equally between Florence and Casa
Grande.
Based on sales taxes collected
for the month of August, an aver
age month, Coolidge will collect
in excess of 81 900 monthly as its
share of this excise revenue.
