TAKES NO ACTION.
ON MILLER BILL
But Real, Estate Boards Attitude
Toward Measure Interpreted as a
"Knock"-Hally Gives Fine Talk.

A clear and forceful exposition OF
the history OF grade separation legis
lation and litigation was given by
Corporation Counsel Hally before the
Detroit Real Estate board at Its regu
lar monthly meeting and dinner In the
Hotel Cadillac, Thursday night. II
any doubt existed In the mind of any
real estate man present as to the
yiciousness OF the Miller bill now
pending before the legislature, amend
ing the grade separation act, IL was
removed before Mr.. Hally finished
speaking. A resolution of protest was
proposed, but In lieu OF this, the sec
rotary was instructed to wire the
speaker OF the house that the board
had taken no action on the bill. This
may be interpreted as knock" In
the sense that the board refuses tC
indorse the measure, which Is OF spe
cial interest to the realty dealers.
The most vicious feature of the pro
posed Miller bill. as explained by Mr.
Hally, Is the clause compensating per
sons whose property Is affected by Q
grade separation for the temporary al
well as the permanent Inconvenience
suffered. He pointed out that, II the
Miller bill became law, the city
would be compelled to pay persons
who claimed they had been perman
emily damaged q sum that would yield
an annual income sufficient to make
up the difference between what It cost
the persons or firms In question to dc
business before the separation and
what 1t cost them after the separa
ton.
meet testimony as to such damages,
said Mr.. Hally. The property own
ers could place their permanent dam
ages at any figure they pleased and
We would be powerless to refute their
claims. Then, under the Miller law,
the court would be compelled to d.
rect a verdict In favor of the claim.
ant for the sum asked. All that would
stand between that man and the city's
treasury would be that mans con
science.
AS to the temporary Inconvenience
suffered, nowhere In the country are
damages allowed for injury to bust
ness during the progress of public
work. Whenever q street is torn up
the merchants In front of whose
places of business the work is being
done all suffer loss. but whoever
heard OF allowing damages for that?
Charles Simons reported on four
bills that have been presented to the
legislature to repeal the mortgage
tax law. The special committee ap.
pointed by the board some time ago
to consider this question will go over
the bills in detail and will go to
Lansing in support Of the one that
meets its approval.
The ordinance committee, on mo
ton of e. G. Van Husan, was instruct

Only six members of the board OF
education, inspectors Mumford. Bur
ton. Henderson, Robertson, Goldberg
and Condor, put in an appearance In
the board rooms, Thursday night, and
for lack of q quorum no meeting was
held. The machine inspectors appar-
emily were all too busy fixing up their
fences In preparation for the coming
primary to look after school matters.
The members who did show up In
formally discussed communication
submitted by Mayor Thompson. cali
ing attention to the fact that, al
though the city treasurer was ex-
officio treasurer of the teachers re-
tirement fund, he had never had the
custody OF this fund. The mayor
urged that the board look into the
mater and advised action looking to
ward the bringing q the fund under
the charge Of the city treasurer, In
which case expenditures made from

The communication brought out the
fact that the fund has been used In

bonds of eastern steamship companies
and other eastern corporations. but
