Conceived five years ago in the flush of the greatest prospenty ever (known, its creation rode safely the rising tide of unprecedented economic distress that engulfed innumerable projects promoted in the same golden days of good times, Today it was dedicated: As a saga of achievement against huge odds and a drama of determination. To daw, $37,500,000 has been expended in its building.

The gates were flung open at 8:30 a. and the vanguard of what is hoped will be an eventual attendance of 50,000,000 to stream through the roads, the streets and the paths of a Mty man made out of the waters of Lake Michigan.

The legislation, which was recommended by the president to congress, for the first time gives the government control of stock sales.

Administration of the law will be under the federal trade commission. Enactment of this bill brought the Roosevelt program for the extra session another big step nearer to conclusion. Here are the highlights of the bill: Full publicity concerning securities offered for sale to the public to protect purchasers from such huge losses in the future as they have suffered in the past. Must Register Issues It requires that both domestic and foreign issues be registered with the federal trade commission for 20 days before they are advertised or sold. It places the se'ler as well as the buyer on guard and imposes heavy penalties for wilful misrepresentation and fraud, Detailed data are required as to the financial condition of the company, past issues and other facts concerning the soundness of the security.

Such information filed with the registration statement "shall be made available So the public under such regulations as the commission may prescribe and copies thereof, photostatic or otherwise shall be furnished to every applicant at such reasonable charge as the commission may prescribe." Could Issue Stop Order A provision added by the senate would set up by presidential proclamation a corporation of foreign security holders to help American investors in defaulted foreign bonds recover as much as possible of their money. The commission could issue stop order against any security if it found fraud or misrepresentation was involved and signers could be relieved of civil liability only if they could show reasonable care was exercised in preparation of prospectuses and that they had no knowledge of any false or erroneous material in them. Sentenced For Attack and Threatened Hanging of Judge. Plymouth Mine to Start Work Soon (By staff Correspondent) Wafcefield, May Z7 The Plymouth mine here will carry on stripping program this summer, It, was announced today by Kenneth Duncan, superintendent. It is the desire of Pickands, Mather operators of the property, to co-operate with city officials of Wakei'ield in relieving unemployment, and although no ore is needed from the property this season, approximately 100,000 yards of rock will be removed in the stripping process and placed on the waste dump, said Mr.

Duncan. Preliminary work will be started June 5 and actual stripping will commence early in July and will continue through the summer and into the early fall. The normal mine crew of 65 men will be employed and only regular mine em- ployes will be given work, said the superintendent. The Plymouth mine shipped a to- tal of 300,000 tons of ore in 1931, in addition to moving a substantial yardage of stripping. The property was Idle jn 1932 for the first time since shipping was started in 1916.

To date shipments from the property total 9,000,000 tons, and the property has many more years o' open pit activity ahead of it. The Plymouth has one of the highest valuations of any mine property in Michigan and has been carrying a heavy burden of taxes for the past several years, say mine officials. Some reduction in taxes is indicated in 1933, which with a desire to relieve unemployment in Wakefield, has prompted the management to resume activities at the property, they point out. Pumping has been carried on continuously while the pit has been idle and operations can be started on short notice. The stripping operations will be earned on on a four days a week basis.
