the end of the pay period Of
April A.
Later, however, the corporation
counsel ruled he should have been
paid for the day of the hearing
and a check for $19.16 was mailed
TO him.
Although Hamilton said at the
time that he did not want the
money. the check has not yet been
returned.

that the establishment was a
social and bridge club" main
tanned by dues of 25 cents each
from $50 members. Judge Maher
iointed out that this would barely
pay the rent and leaves nothing
for the manager.
He accepted the testimony of
Patrolman Milan Malivuck, of the
vice squad, who said a stuss game
was going on at one table, with
large bills as the stakes, and that
books in a small case were COW
cred with dust. A total of $l02
was seized in the raid from the
various tables.

every phase of the departments

with the addition of materials and
man power.
For example. the fire boat
James Battle. which the Com

would be put back in commission
and the five fire stations which
were closed more than a year ago
as an economy measure would be
reopened.

EwdId Will Draw
Pay Till Council
Gets tO0uster

Although six weeks have passed
since Robert G.. Ewald was in
dicted on a charge of receiving
$1,000 graft, the councilman is
still drawing full pay and it ap-
pears likely he will receive another
5000 before custer proceedings are
held.
Accused by Judge Homer Fer
guson's one-man grand jury of
having accepted the money TO
vote for concrete construction of
the Herman Gardens housing
project. EWald still remains a full
fledged member of the City Coun-
Gil. with power TO vote on any
and all matters.
Although he has not appeared
in the City Hall since his indict-
ment, Ewald. according TO ruling
of the corporation counsel, cannot
be suspended. Neither can his
weekly salary of $95.78 be held up
until the time of the custer
hearing.
RIGHT TO THE MINUTE
In fact, Ewald will be paid
S1916 for the day on which his
custer proceedings are held, the
corporation counsel having ruled
that councilmen must be paid
their salaries for every hour they
remain city officials.
Shortly after his indictment
and Immediately after his arraign-
ment in Recorders Court, Ewald
left Detroit for Florida to recover
his health following an attack of
pneumonia. While there he wrote
City Clerk Thomas d. Leadbetter
for his pay check.
The letter was dated April 9 and
said:
tom, II you will mail my
check to me this week / will
appreciate IL very much. l will
be back in Detroit before the
next one l. due. Thanking you
in advance, 1 remain
Yours in friendship.

Leadbetter said he showed the

A DAY HERE, A DAY THERE

Witherspoon said he would
probably" appear before the
council to-day or tomorrow" TO
discuss setting a date. Another
day will probably go bv before the
resolution fixing the time is for

'mally adopted and there will be
more delay before Ewald is served
with the notice.
"We've been kind of holding
off until Judge Ferguson returns
TO town from his vacation"
Witherspoon explained. "Since
indicting Ewald the grand jury
brought similar charges against
Councilman Dingman, and we
thought that perhaps the judge
would like TO add something TO
the Ewald indictment"
Both Dingeman. who is alleged
to have received $1,000 graft, and
Councilman John Hamilton. con-
fessed recipient of $4,000, re-
ceived their pay until their last
day in office.

SAND BAGS FOR CARS

All chiefs cars and bureau cars
which respond to fires would be
equipped with sand bags for use
in smothering small fires which
might be encountered on the route
to and from the main fire.
The use of fire hydrants by
public utilities and private build
ing contractors would be discon-
tinued and 1000 new fire hydrants
would be installed in new loca-
tons and another 1000 added
later.
In connection with the water
board, plan would be agreed
upon for the rapid repair of
breaks in the water system and
provision would be worked out
for bypassing breaks with hose.
Five tons of foam powder would
be purchased and the foam COM
panies would have their equip
ment augmented.
In organizing the. volunteers,
the committee recommended that
the assistance of the American
Legion be accepted. Herbert Nc
Donald, chairman of the Legion's
defense committee, has offered
this service to the department.
WAR TIME COMMUNICATION
The plan includes several alter
native methods of departmental
communication if the departments
telegraph system is disrupted
through bombing or sabotage.
The sirens which would be
erected on each engine house
would operate on a code so that
the location of fires could be
spotted by this method in case all
other communication broke down.
The sirens would also be available
for use as air raid warnings.
The committee reported that
number of war time emergency
measures. not requiring commits
sion approval. have already been
put into effect.
Most important of these has
been a series of meetings which
Fire Marshal Lindemeyer has
been holding with more than 400

Special plans have been worked
out for the protection of the Mich

in some places along railroad right
of way pipes are being laid below
the tracks so that in the event
of large fire the hose lines will
not have to be placed across

The public has been barred from

On the subject Of sending the

states:
I'm view of the fact that II Is
difficult 10 secure first hand in
formation in regard TO fire
fighting conditions in England
and the possibility that Detroit.
which is the key point of indus
trial activities in connection
with national defense, might be
the city most likely to suffer

the committee that a delegation
from the department be sent to
England TO study methods used
In fire fighting under conditions
existing there at the present
time"
No estimate has been compiled
on the total cost Of the proposals.
The committee hopes to induce De-
troit industries TO bear a part Of
the. cost Of the purchase of new
equipment. particularly hose.
which firms could keep for use
IN and near their plants.
