TO VOTE ON TWO AMENDMENTS AFFECTING THIS COUNTY

Two amendments to the constitution of Michigan will be voted upon at the spring election. Both have especial reference to Washtenaw county.

The first is an amendment to Section 10 of Article 10 of the constitution providing for a board of county auditors in the counties of Saginaw, Jackson, Washtenaw and Kent.

The second is an amendment to Section 6 of Article 6 of the constitution relative to circuit courts, affecting the counties of Bay and Washtenaw.

The first amandment is to niake possible a board of three auditors elected on the county ticket who shall meet for one day each month and audit all bills against the county. This will make possible the purchase of goods at lower prices for prompt payment and a more searching examination of bills while the purchases are fresh in mind.

The second amendment authorizes the people of Washtenaw and Bay to vote on propositions to raise the salaries of the circuit judges of these counties, which is now $2,500 a year.
