BY FRANK MORRIS

Unlike some candidates for
Common Council, former Gov.
William A. Comstock has no Spe-
cific platform promising to balance
budgets, slash taxes and give De-
troit its most economical and
efficient government in history.
His long experience In public life
has convinced the former Chief
Executive that the most campaign
promises are intended merely to
lure votes.
REFUSES TO PROMISE
$50 I refuse to promise the
impossible" Comstock said.
Like the State Legislature, a
city council Is principally a law
making and deliberative body.
One member cannot lay down
the policies OF the administra-
ton.
1T Is impossible TO foresee
the important questions that
will be before the city during
the next two years. Until these
projects and proposals and
emergencies are weighed care
fully. all any candidate can
promise now Is that he will
serve the city 10 the best of his
ability"
One hope OF the former COVER
nor is that he will be able to
initiate a substantial reduction in
property taxes. While governor,
he abolished the state property
tax. ending a system that had
been in effect since the birth OF
Michigan
ELIMINATE FRILLS
ain view of the huge Increases
I'm state and federal levies, the
city must now hold It's taxes to
a minimum" ComStock eX-
planned. Until this defense
emergency il passed, the council
must keep In mind the tremen-
dous burden now being shout
dered by the home-owner. All
frills must be eliminated.
81 think, too. that the tax
burden should he made more
equitable by reassessing prop
erty OF a true valuation basis. In
many parts of Detroit. assessed
values are higher than actual
cash values. This should be
remedied."
/ Comstock's long experience In
public affairs began in 1909. wher
he was elected 10 the City Council
of Alpena. He later served as
mayor. His first state office was a!
a member of the Board OF Regents
of the University of Michigan. his
alma mater.
CAME HERE IN 1919
Until the depression. he was
comparatively wealthy and at one
time owned considerable property
in downtown Detroit During
those years, he kept the Demo
cratic Party alive in Michigan by
the simple and costly process OF
paying the bills.

1882 During his one term he was
confronted by more emergent
problems than ever had faced a

Strikers Ignore
Dewey S Plea

The 800 wildcat strikers al
the Great Lakes Steel and two
subsidiary plants remained on

Dewey last night said:

Mr.. James Russell, a prominent

vessel launching Thursday. 1t hap
pened that David Lank & Son
launched the large three-masted
schooner, Maggie M. Keough from
their yards, and in company With
hundreds of others, Mr.. Russell was
there to witness the launching. He
was on the North side of the Mis-
pillion River, when the cry went up
that the ship was leaving her ways,
on the South side. The doomed
man was standing on some pine
piling when the waves struck him,
throwing him to the ground, and
throwing three of the big, heavy
logs on his body. When taken out,
Mr.. Russell's head was found to be
mashed, his body crushed and both
limbs broken. Only the night be-
fore his death he was elected to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of
George P. Monors on Saturday last,
in the town council. He was about
SO years of age, and in politics was
a strong and ardent Republican.
Deceased leaves a wife and six
children, besides host of friends
to mourn his loss. 1t was an i'm
