City Clerk Lindsay is sending let
ters TO the members of the Wayne
delegation recommending that some
action be taken In the next session OF
the legislature 10 straighten out the
tangle In election districts which ex-
lists by reason of the fact that Detroit
has from time to time annexed new
territory.
He calls attention to the fact that
in the last election the Seventeenth
and Eighteenth wards were divided
into the Seventeenth, Eighteenth,
Nineteenth, Twentieth and Twenty
first wards and the boundary lines OF
senatorial districts have also been
changed in a manner that affects the
upper ends of the Twelfth, Fourteenth
and Sixteenth wards. With this
change the entire district now known
as the Twenty. first ward will have no
senatorial representation In the legis-
lature. except as a part OF country
district. The upper ends OF the Fifth.
Seventh. Eighth, Tenth, Twelfth and
Fourteenth wards are also outside OF
the city so far as the senatorial rep
resentation is concerned, and the
council Is, In consequence, prevented
from redistricting or In any way
changing the boundary lines of these
particular districts. For instance, In
the eleventh district OF the Eighth
ward there are only 90 registered vot-
ers; in the eighth district OF the Sew
enth ward there are but 26 registered
voters. and In the eleventh OF the
Tenth. 164 registered voters.
By amendment TO Act No. 273 of the
public acts of 1907, the districts men
toned and the Twenty-first ward
could all be placed inIthe same posi-
tion as other districts In the city and
a great deal OF the confusion which
arises every election would be avoid

Gasoline Pump Owners Called
Worst Offenders In Grabbing
Special Privileges

Aid. John c. Lodge, who is strongly
opposed to the council granting spe-
cial privileges for the use or occupa-
ton OF the streets by abutting lot
owners, favors the submission of a
new charter amendment next spring
which vii specifically define what con-
stitutes a street obstruction. The re-
Gently adopted charter amendment
denying the council the power to
grant special privileges is too drastic
and broad In its scope, he admits, SO
much so, that Corporation Counsel
Lawson has refused to give the COM
mittee on streets an opinion defining
the ordinance. Instead, he has sug-
gested to individual members of the
committee that they go head and use
their own discretion in granting privi-
leges In the streets. Since the <adop-
tion of the charter amendment, the
council has granted numerous special
permits in violation OF the. law as IL
stands.
There is no question but the pres
ent charter amendment Is too dras-
tic" said Aid Lodge, Friday. What
we must have Is another amendment,
- efully drawn and defining just what
Is to be Included under the heading
OF street distractions. | will ask the
corporation counsel TO prepare such
an amendment to replace the present
useless law"
II Is alos Aid. Lodges idea to have
the new amendment contain a pro-
vision for the removal of the present
street distractions. These obstruc-
tions, granted under special permits
which give the council power TO order
their removal at any time, will have
to go, willy nilly, II the people order
them out of the streets. The alder
men are .loath to oppose the granting
OF special privileges, although they
freely admit that the proper kind OF
q charter amendment denying them
power to grant would be good thing.
Aid. Lodge Is bitterly opposed to
the granting OF permits for more
street gasoline pumps. Scores OF
such permits have been granted al.
ready. Lodge insists that Il is the
Iout-of-town gasoline pump manufac.
turer that is benehting by the gen
erosity OF the council, and that at
present there are more than enough
gasoline stations to take care OF the
wants OF the motorists. He claims
that at several points along Wood
ward-ave.. traflc Is partially blockad
ed by automobiles clustered around
these gasoline stations.
