Target Shooting
ChdrgeDenied
By Officer

Patrolman William Saunders
said today that he was not target
shooting. as charged by a 17-year-
old traffic offender. but that he
did have his gun out and aimed
right at the youths midriff in the
belief that he was a car thief.
Jack Ray of 1895 Gilcrest ave-
nue. made the accusation against
Saunders when he was fined $40
by Traffic Judge Thomas F.
Maher for driving without a Ii
cense.
He told the court that Saunders
had ticketed him when he stopped
TO watch the patrolman shoot at
a target at Pembroke and War
nick avenues. Saunders was not
in the court room at the time.
Today Saunders said:
my partner. Howard Wick
son. and I had tried to stop the
boys In the car and they kept
right on going. We finally
forced them to a halt and we
both got out with our guns
drawn. We thought they were
car thieves.
Ray had borrowed the H.
cense of one of the other boys in
the car and when I tripped him
up on II he admitted II. He
told me that his father didn't
know he had the car and now he
tells Judge Maher that his
father did know.
when ! inspected the car the
boys had the ignition wires fas-
tened together They said they
couldn't get the key"

City Halls State
Plan TO Build
Dole Homes

Auditor General Vernon Browns
proposal to build $1,000 welfare
homes with funds collected by the
state through renting of scavenger
property shows the state has
refreshing interest in our hous-
ing problem" Council President
John w. Smith declared today.
Smith. who discussed the plan
with his council colleagues yester-
day, termed the proposal IAN ex-
cellent idea that should be en-
couraged."
LANSING CONFERENCE
Councilman John Hamilton. who.
with Housing Commission Secre-
tary George Edwards. will go to
Lansing Thursday to confer with
Brown. said he had discussed the
plan with Brown several times and
he saw no reason why it could not
be worked out Ito the satisfaction
of both the city and state"
Briefly. the plan calls for build
ing the low cost homes with rental
money originating here and rent
ing the homes to the city for $500
year until the cost has been
amortiZed. Although the plan
would require state law. which
Brown is preparing. and it would
apply to the entire state, Wayne,
Oakland and Genesee counties are
the only counties to which it could
economically be applied.
Although Brown did not men,
ton the FILA. Hamilton said the
plan provides that the first 100 or
more homes be financed entirely
by 100000 revolving fund, after
which the balance of the states
rental funds could be applied,
along with scavenger lots, as reg
ular 10 per cent down payments
on FILA financed homes.
HUGE SAVING
Eve now are paying an aver
age Of S23 monthly a family for
welfare rent" Hamilton said.
But II we can get homes cost
Ing $1,000 or $1,000, no monthly
rental should be more than S14
or SIS, based on a 25-year mort
gage.
"The homes could be financed
either by FILA, USHA or pri-
vate mortgage firms.
~ will recommend to Brown
that he provide in the act for
the creation of a state housing
authority to administer its pro-
visions. The city may have to
waive Its tax equity in any lots
used In the program. but II will
lose nothing since title to the
homes will be given to the city
after they have been paid for"

ultra-modern touch 10 his adver-
tising by eliminating capital let

Grange bylaws be changed limit

exception of Master, Secretary and

a slight changing in the wording
it was approved by the committee

the Pomona as it conflicts with
Grange law which places no limit
on nominations. 49,.

write each representative and SEN
