State Holds Canal Tolls Owed to General Government
Attorney General Knox demands about 100000 dollars from Michigan for tolls in the St Marys Falls canal held by the state when transferred to the federal government in 1879. The transfer agreement required turning over the canal and appurtenances and the state refuses to relinquish the funds, prompting possible federal court action. Nearby, a Port Huron child dies in a tragic gasoline fire sparked by a bottle of Ban-Yan, as other local mishaps and accidents are noted.
