Hlckey who are leaving for Milwaukee. Years Apo, April 28, 1906 LANSING--More economical administration and greater control over their own development has been ob talned by 15 more northern municip allties through tax-reverted land deals with the state department of conser vation. The fifteen municipalities are Boyne Falls, Ellsworth, Harrietta, Pentwater, Mackinaw City, Cheboygan, Baraga, Hesperia, Menominee, Iron River, Houghton, Petoskey, Kingsford, Lake City' and Crystal Palls. Earlier more than 50 other northern cities made arrangements for disposition of tax-reverted lands in or near their boundaries administered by the conservation department. For such public uses as parks, park- Ing lots, cemeteries, community forests, docks, municipal gardens, waterworks, building sites, church purposes, streets, sewers, river beauti- fleation, flood control and snow dumps these municipalities acquired reverted parcels for nominal fees.

The department is arranging to sell, withhold from sale, or exchange the remaining reverted parcels, according to local recommendations. Avoidance of costly extension of public utilities to sparsely occupied outlying lots is one of the chief benefits of the local control over use of these lands. Advertise In The Herald.
