MOVEMENT
FALLS FLAT

The movement started by Council
man John A Kronk Of Detroit, looking
to secession 6rom the state of Michi-
gan OF southeastern Industrial coun-
ties, fell dead OF Its own weight on
Wednesday.
The Detroit Council had discussed
for an hour the proposition to with
draw and set up q new state. KrOnk
was abetted In his plan by DIR. Epson,
director OF the Detroit Bureau OF Gov
ernmental Research. who read q state
D'ent In which he declared that the
idea of independent state status for
large cities in the United States was
nothing new.
Mayor Reading hurled bOmbshell
into the secession camp, by sending q
letter to the Council hearing express
ing regret that other business prevent
ed his appearance. Kronk's suggestion
was criticised with a Recommendation
that Detroit set its own financial house
i'm order before considering secession.
The metropolis, Incidentally, is in
very poor financial condition.
But the Big Bertha shot came when
Assistant Corporation Counsel James
Ell. Lee presented report stating that
house bill No. 8S. now before the State
Legislature, would take over all tun-
nels and bridges by the state, entail
ing an estimated eventual loss in tax
revenues of 81. 100000 to the city of
Detroit
Instead of proceeding with the seces-
sion movement, the Council hurriedly
ordered kilograms sent to city and
county Representatives at Lansing,
urging them to Immediately unite in
an effort to head off passage of the
bill
