WOMAN WHO TALKED "PARK" Scheme to Secure Her City ■ Beauti- ) ful Pleasure Ground. Iliitl It not been for a woman's Idea j Bay City, Mich., would probably not j now lie preparing to convert a nine j acre strip of river front, occupied by j business houses, into a public park, nays the Detroit Kits* I'ress. The wo- i man Is Mrs Alfred K. Bousfleld, wife j of one of the wealthiest residents of I Bay City. Mr. BousfleUl is one of the j three men who brought the $250,000 i hotel and auditorium project to a sue- | cessful Issue. The day the old Eraser House burned j Mrs. Bousticld began talking "park" in i earnest to her husband. The latter be- i came Impressed with the Idea, and he ! broached It to S. O. Fisher, president ! of the board of trade, and C. A. Eddy, ! bis associates In the hotel project. The three gentlemen presented the scheme to the public, and It was ratified at the polls election day by a 4 to 1 vote. As a result of Mrs. Bouslleld's idea tbe new hotel will cost SSO,<XK) more than originally planned, fourteen new business blocks in the business district are In the hands of the architects, over 9400,000 has changed hands In down town realty, business property has In- ; creased in value from 25 to 100 per ! cent, and buildings valued at $125,000 j are to be torn down. Interest In the hotel and park propo- ; sitiou, however, had aroused people i generally In matters of civic improve- ; rnent, and Mrs. Bouslield, always more j or less interested In municipal improve- ' rnent work by local clubs, took a lead- ! lug part in the organization of the new | Woman's Civic Improvement league. | She threw opeu her home on Center ; avenue for meetings, to which women of all classes of society were invited. Other wives of wealthy men followed the example, and now the membership of the leugue is mounting rapidly to ward the thousand mark. Absolute democracy prevails among the members, and women who have never before known each other owing to differences in the social scale nre working hand in hand. They have overthrown all municipal precedents, made a grand assault on the council and secured the aid of the city in clean ; ing up the town, the city furiiishiug j the teams to haul away the accuinula j tlon of a winter's debris from all pri i vate residences. r, Ncwcpaperi Help Orange Work, Editors of country newspapers are j well disposed toward the grange. Tbey 1 will use write-ups of meetings of local i granges If they are furnished them; they will announce the programme in advance; tbey will lend valuable aid to the grange movement. But tbey 1 expect re|>orts to have something in : them. They want grange news, too, | not stuff ten days' old. Every grange should have a local press correspond ent who should be selected with ape -1 cial reference to his fitness for the work. GRANGE FOR GOOD ROADS, j A Purely Orange Road Bill Now Before the New York State Legislature. I The New York state grange leglsla- ■ i ttve committee has had a new bill pre- | | pared amending the Fuller-I'lank law. ! , j so that poorer towns will receive a lar- i ( j ger share of state aid and grading the j towns according to the average as ' ! sessed valuation per mile of road rath- i er than the valuation per town. In its , grading of towns for state aid under the money system tbe grange bill uses , the assessed valuation as equalized by both the board of supervisors and the board of equalization, t There were numerous good road bills before tbe legislature, but none of them took account of the lnequali ' ties that appeared in the worktng of the old law. The grange bill proposes to give towns with a valuation of less than $5,U00 per mile a 100 per cent ad dition to that which they raise them • selves; those between $5,000 and $7,000 ( valuation, 00 per cent; between $7,000 and SO,OOO, 80 per cent; between $9,000 and SII,OOO, 70 per cent, and between SII,OOO and $13,000, 50 per cent. A limitation is fixed for towns with , $25,000 per mile valuation not to ex ceed $25 per mile annually, and towns with a mileage valuation exceeding $25,000 will not be permitted to draw more than one-tenth of 1 per cent of their total valuation. This Is purely a grange good roads bill. QHERIFF SALE.
