PROPOSAL To ANNEX
HIGHLAND PARK
CAUSES SQ1ABBLE.
COUNCIL COMMITTEE WILL HEAR
ARGUMENTS IN PUBLIC MEET.
ING-PlAkNED TO TEST CON.
sTITUTIoN's SCOPE.

Annexation OF Highland Park, Pal
mer park and the village OF Ham
tramck to the city was the burning
topic before the joint meeting OF the
council charter and city legislation
committee aud the Wayne county leg.
islators. Saturday morning. So much
was said for and against the proposal
that a public hearing will be held next
Saturday.
IL was also decided that the council
shall frame up local bill dealing with
the elections of some other important
matter, have IL passed in Lansing and
thus get the opinion OF the state su-
preme court on the limitations Of the
legislature with regard to local b,i.
and also on the matter OF home rule,
II possible.
The members Of the legislature pres
ent admitted that they found the home
rule matter a prize puzzle. and, while
they deplored the fact that six weeks
have gone by without any action, they
confessed their inability TO proceed
right away. Everybody agreed that,
since the per diem Tor legislators is
will insist On adjournment as soon as
planting time comes.
Senators Smell and Scott and Rep.
Lodge. Colby and Copley were the
legislative delegation present.
What can We do until the matter
OF home rule is decided on, but sit
here and look wise?" asked Colby, re-
ferring TO the plan of conferences be.
tween aldermen and Legislators.
Aid Vernor's plan OF annexing the
two northern villages gave the legisla'
tors another start, as they were un-
certain as to the modus operandi of an
nexation under the new constitution.
Frank Holznagle. a Highland Park
Official. declared that Highland Park
should come in at once. as that VII
lage has got to the point where IL
must make enormous expenditures, TOT
its size, for pavement, water and sew
er extensions and other improvements.
"The present plight Of the village
Is due to the lack OF foresight OF the
officials OF ten years ago" he declared
1.-The village has not single dollar
OF sinking fund now. We have no
fire protection except such as comes
from an agreement with the city for
use of the Mott-ave. engine. III ina
engine happened to be out at city
fire when we had Are In High
Park, I do not know what would hap
pen"
The plight OF Hamtramck was de-
scribed as being very much the same
It was the opinion Of the villagers that
the annexed territory. with some OF
the northern portion OF the city. should
be made into a new ward. This point
was disputed by the aldermen.
Aid. Vernon also brought forward his
plan Of having the property owners
held responsible for personal injury
damages sustained through any person
falling upon sidewalks. He declared
that, despite the utmost endeavors OF
the department OF public works. the
city cannot replace rotten wood walks
fast enough to prevent the occurrence
OF accidents. A bill covering this Will
be sent up to the legislature.

CUPID'S MISSIVES
CLOG POSTAL SERVICE

Another holiday rush is being expe-
rienced by the postofflce on account
OF st. Valentines Day. Never before
have so many ardent missives been en-
trusted to the mails in Detroit as dur
ing the past two days. and there are
lines OF SWANS and damsels at the
postoffice window all day long. mailing
the dainty membranes.
Friday some 100000 valentines were
run throng the stamping machines In
the central postoffices, beside those
that came in at the branches. In adj
dition to these. there was an equal
number OF bulkier tokens Of esteem
which could not go through the ma
chimes but had TO be hand-stamped
and the clerks had paralysis OF the
forearms when the days work was
done.
Apparently Cupid has put in the
busiest OF winters.

RAILWAY PROBERS
NEED MORE MONEY

Finances are now the big problem
with the members of the Mayors com.
mittee of SO which has started to IT.
vestigate the street railway problem.
Quiet sessions of the subcommittee
have developed the fact that the s..
900 appropriated by the council will
not take care of all the expenses in
cident to what the members consider
a fair and equitable investigation.
There is some difference about asking
for more money before the present
appropriation is more than dipped
into. and yet that may be the neces-
sary course.
II is probable that another $4,000
will be required before the work is
completed
