Board reinstates Shank as quartermaster in a tense hearing
The incident centers on the dismissal and reinstatement of quartermaster James N. Shank after a board hearing where Commandant Manly resigned in protest. Shank was exonerated and returned to duty, while Manly's resignation, accepted Aug 1, followed. The report alleged Shank repeatedly ignored orders on purchases, with Shank claiming the commandant’s verbal orders guided most actions. The session featured mutual accusations but maintained decorum. The piece also notes a Michigan Supreme Court decision on resignations to seek other offices, citing Lennon's aldermanic resignation for the West Bay City police chief post and the rule barring nonconcurrent municipal offices. A large fire in Missaukee County destroyed a mill complex and several buildings, with extensive losses and plans to rebuild. The weather outlook notes favorable conditions for oats, corn, and potatoes, though hay crops suffer from reduced rainfall, while a 10,000 fire at South Lake Linden damaged multiple properties.
