COTTAGE CITY AGAIN | APPROVES FIRE TAX | Township in Special Election Rc-f affirms Stand on Measure Spon- sored by Volunteer Firemen. Special Dispatch to The Star.

This measure, which was urged by the local volunteer fire company, was approved by a vote of 57 to 36 at a special election held on March 30, but this election was later declared null and void because it had been advertised hefore the governor had signed the bill.~ There were two reg-| istration dates between the two elec- tlons and the interest displayed in the | fire tax was largely responsible for the | registration of 139 additional voters. A decided effort was made by op- ponents of the bill to defeat it despite | the fact that the firemen have pointed out that such action would undoubt- ably force the company out of business. Following the announcement of the re- sults the firemen staged a parade through the town. It is estimated that the tax will pro- vide approximately $900 a year, which |15 considerably more than has been ob- tained heretofore by annual drives.

Cadillac and LaSalle—for very practical and very vital economic reasons—are most assuredly not beyond the means of anyone who can invest just 3 little more at the outset.
