next Monday morning when the
relatives of the late julius Rott-
man meet in the Nj. Clemens

Rottmann is the 75-year-old re-
cluse farmer Of Warren Township
who died recently and left re-
Iputed fortune Of between $1,000
and $4,000. hid den somewhere
about his farm property.
Digging about the secluded farm
and into hooks and crannieS, rela-
tives already have uncovered ST.

recently agreed 10 give up the
search for a strong box reputedly
containing important mortgages
In addition 10 the cash found, two
bank books listing S1,100 each

NEPHEW SPURS HUNT
Most Interested relative prob

the farm search by relatives.
Raymond was closest adviser TO
his uncle, whom he describes as
an almost miserly frugal man,
who saved every penny he ever
learned.
Hugo is currently in charge of
the 312-acre farm, which contains
the two room shack in which
Rottmann lived, as well as half a
dozen out-buildings. two horses.
and unlimited farm tools and

This from the woman who did

BOOKLET OUTLINES FEW

A few Of these. as outlined in
the booklet, concern such ques-
lions as the reclamation OF
blighted areas. the conservation of
central business area. the location
of future public housing projects.
locations of Memorial Hall, City
Hall and other governmental and
civic centerS. future economic and
industrial developments. and needs
for limited access motorways.
Other problems are a little
beyond the grasp Of the average
layman and are merely stated as
questions involving population
totals. distributions, characteristics
and trends" and absorption and
m tig on of decentralization
tendencies.
Although since its founding by
Cadillac in l70l, Detroit has
passed through many stages of
growth without any complete or
satisfactory plan for its "self-regu-
lation. things have now reached
a crisis, the booklet points out.
