POOR BOARD SEEKS
EXTENDED POWERS
Proposed Charter Amendment
Prepared by Lawson Would
Greatly Increase Authority

Among the proposed charter amend.
ments that Corporation Counsel LAW
SON has prepared for the council COM
mittee on charter and city legislation.
which meets Friday afternoon to con-
slider them. IL one intended to greatly
enlarge the working scope OF the poor
commission. The corporation counsel
said that the amendment Is the sug'
gestion OF DR.. John 8. Hall, member
of the poor board.
In addition to giving the commits
sion power to contract with any or all
hospitals in and adjoining the city for
the care of the sick poor, 1t gives the
board power. In the name OF the city.
to acquire, own, establish, construct.
operate and control municipal hospi-
tails infirmaries, farm colonies and mu-
nicipal lodging houses. Under such a
broad charter provision the poor CON-
mission could have gone ahead with
the construction of general hospital
In competition with the Board OF
Health, had not the aldermen pre-
viously blocked the game by cutting
out the poor commission request for
$750, 900 for the construction OF q gen.
eral hospital on the site at MacomD
and st. Antoine-sts.. where the CON-
mission IL now preparing TO erect q
$4,000 detention hospital. BY allow
Ing the Board of Health Q generous ap-
preparation for additions and improve
ments to the city's general hospital ON
Hamilton-blvd., the aldermen made It
clear that, In their judgment. the gen.
eral hospital ought to be under the
control Of the health board.
Other amendments that the cOrpo-
ration counsel has prepared for the
committee are: To change the time
OF city elections 80 a. to separate them
from state and national elections, and
to extend the term of ONCE to four
years; to abolish the Board Of Esti-
mates; to reduce the number of al
dermen to one from each ward; to
permit the common council to fix the
salaries of certain city officials within
stated limitations; to give the mayor
power to remove his appointes at will ;
to provide for the non-partisan cleo
ton of all city offlcials, the primary
to be partisan; to divide the city into
81 wards: to provide for depart
ment Of art with an annual appropria
ton; to increase the pensions OF re-
tired and disabled firemeni to estab
lish q recreation commission. and to
deny the common council the power
to grant special privileges to abutteea
on streets.
Pliny w. Marsh, secretary Of the De
troit Civic league, has also submitted
to Corporation Counsel Lawson IL

seems to be to compel the selection OF

DINGEMAN IS NOW
AGAINST MARSH PLAN

Council President DinSeman has
Joined Aid. Barnett in opposition To-
the saloon restriction ordinance drawn
up by Pliny w. Marsh, secretary OF
the Detroit Civic league, and submit.
ted to the council by Aid. Lodge last
Tuesday night.
Dingeman 1t frst approved the mea-
sure, thinking it, purpose was 20 drive
saloons out OF residence districts into
the business section. Marsh says the
purpose Of the measure II to gradually
eliminate the saloons outside Of the
mile circle. and some inside the mile
circle, by placing stringent limitations
on transfers. Dingeman says the ~
loonkeeper ought to. be- given Z square
deal' as long as his business II recog-
nised and regulated by state law and
city ordinances.
II am not interested In q campaign
against the saloonkeeper, and am
likewise uninterested In any campaign
to protect the saloonkeeper. but I do
believe in treating him with rsAson-
able fairness, since his business H.
recognixed,as lawful one and he pays.
an annual tax Of $500 to the county
treasurer for the privilege Of selling
liquor" says Din9eman.
