The measure was sponsored by Gov. Len Small and was passed in the last regular session of the legis- lature, only aster it had been on the brink of defeat repeatedly. While the law provided only a two cent tax, in effect the tax became three cents a gallon since the fuel companies generally added an extra cent to defray the cost of collecting and turning the tax over to the state.

CONVENTION OF REAL ESTATE MEN CLOSES Smith Talks On Building Programs; Says Ann Arbor Should Not - lExpand Industrially COOPER AND KAYE SPEAK Delegates to the Brokers and Sub- dividers conference held here Tlhurs- day and Friday under the auspices of the Michigan Real Estate associationl brought their meetings to a close yesterday. The concluding speech of the con- vention was delivered by Myers Y. Cooper of Cincinnati on the topic "The Real Estate Man, a Community Builder." A series of reports occu- pied a portion of the morning ses- I sion.- C. E. Kaye, deputy state bank- ing commissioner delivered an ad- dress following the luncheon. Speaker. at the morning session were Philip W. Kniskern, president of the National Reserve corporation, New York; and Lawrence B. Cum- mings; vice president of Douglas L. Ellman and Co., New York. Kniskern discussed, "Appraising Residential Property" and Cumming's address dealt with "Elemrents of Successful Store Location." In an address Thursday aternoon on "Formulating and Executing a 1rogram of City Building," Gc)rge C. S'mith, director of the industrial bureau of the Industrial club, St.I Louis, repeated a former statement that there are two cities in the United States which have no right to expand industrially. "Tfhese cities are Washington, D. C., and Ann Ar- bor, Mich.," he said. "There are other ways in which a community may grow besides by de- veloping industries, he continued, and this community owes it to the great University and the state not to bring l into its boundaries institutions which umight prove nuisances." Speaking of the present popular novement among cities for adver- tising themselves to the country, the speaker warned that such communi- ties should first decide what the community has to offer industry and whether this industry can be gene- ficial to the community. All cities, he believes, cannot develop indus- trially. The day of the Chamber of Com- mrerce brass band methods of adver- tising a city has passed, Smith de- clared. The Chamber now shouldi make extensive and jaccurat sur- veys of the conditions of its city, in- cluding accessability to raw mater- ial, transportation facilities, labor conditions, fuel and power cost and factors in waste disposal. Other questions to be considered are "where are the markets and what can competing cities offer to the industry in question?" he stated. FEAR LIVES LOST IN SHIP COLLISION (li Associated Press) DEAL, Eng., Feb. 24-Serious loss of life was feared from the sinking i tonight of the Italian steamer Al- cantea after a collisiton with the Russian cadet training ship Tovar- isch. The collision occurred in a dense fog which blanketed the Dover straits of Dungenesse tonight. Two other steamers were reported stand- ing by. Floundering Wolverines, Definitely Eliminated From Big Ten tAte Remain As Barrier By Herbert E. Vedder Michigan, floundering about in the center of the Big Ten basketball scramble with an even .500 record as a result of four wins and as many losses, will enter upon the final third of her 1928 schedule when the er- ratic but third place Northwestern ive makes its appearance here to- night in a return game. The game will start at 7:30 o'clockt, but the doors will probably'open beforet7. At this time two years ago the Wolverines were in a similar posi- tion in the standings but a five game drive netted'them a tie for the 1926 title. Today, however, with Wiscon- sin heading the list with only one beating chalked up against seven wins while three other teams, Pur- due, Indiana and Northwestern have only two defeats apiece, the Maize and Blue can scarcely cherish am- bitions of repeating. Instead, the 1928 Wolverines will assume the role of chief trouble ma- kers for chamionshiu aspirants -- beginning tonight. In addition to Northwestern, the Wolverines will have an opportunity to fire at both Indiana and Wisconsin before the season closes March a. Purple Still In Ratce As is usually the case, with Mich- igan-Northwestern games, tonight's affair means much. To Northwestern it may mean the paving of a way to her first Conference basketball title In many years, for after the Wol- verine obstacle, Coach Arthur Lon- borg's quintet will have three tilts remaining which, on paper, should not test the Wildcats too ;nech. The Wolverines, on the other land, without titular aspirations, would like to establish themselves as a first division quintet and show that Pur- due's two victories were not so much because of Michigan failures as the Boilermaker ability. Northwestern will give the Maize and Blue an op- portunity to gain retribution in some small degree for the opening game of the year, when a beating by the Pur- ple quintet started them on the down hill road. Northwestern Record Peculiar Northwestern's record is most pe- culiar, the unreliability of the Evan- ston five being shown by their le- feats by Ohio and Illinois, Capt\z Fisher, "Point Catcher" Walter, Gleishman, Jonsos, and Marshall have been the Wildcat combination all year, and when right, were quite )mild. They are all big and play the ball well off the floor. Aiility to fol- low shotsand success in desperate dries at the backboard has featured the play of the Wildcats this year. 1During the past week, Coach Geo. Veenker his been trying to figure out a starting lineup for tonight's game, but even late yesterday he was still, puzzled as to who would get the call. The forward pair of Bennie Ooster- baan and Bill Orwig will remain in- tact with Bob Chapman jumping cen- ter, but on account of the rather atrocious defense shown at Lafayette the guard assignments are not cer- tain. Harrigan May Not Start Indications point to McCoy's re- nmairning in the lineup, but it is ex- pected that Captain Harrigan will be given a rest. As to the man who will fill in at running guard, Veenker has 'decided that "the man with the most fire in his eye" would get the choice, The probable starting lineups: :,OR7'RTWEST ERt MItCHGAN Fisher (c).......F......Oosterbaam ' Gleiehman. .........Orwig Walter ....... ....C.... ...
