National Defense, its motorcars were
reaching the very peak of their first
young success. Then suddenly, remem-
Der, there were fewer of them because
there were fewer men to make them,
and less material to make them with.

lay the lasting foundation for world.

Again Dodge moves full speed ahead
in the service ofthe Government,-with
full knowledge of its duty and conf

when he described as q health
menace In Macomb, Wayne and
oakland counties.
Adams, instructed by the
stresm control commission to
seek solution Of q sewage dis
posal problem In the northern
edge Of Wayne and southern
edge Of Oakland counties and in
large area Of Macomb county,
said the proposed drainage dis
tricts would need federal aid to
finance new sewage systems.
Federal assistance is impera-
tive, he said, because Of the rap
idly growing population In the
area, resulting from construction
Of several large factories to fill
defense orders.
He suggested sewage systems
eould be connected with the De-
troit system to dispose Of q
health menace in Southern Oak
land county and with q Wayne
county sewage disposal plant to
overcome . similar problem in
Macomb county.
The drainage districts would
need 70 borrow money and re-
ceive federal grants to construct
connecting systems and pay dis
troit and Wayne county for sew
age disposal, according to the
plan. Adams said lack of finance
prevented about II municipali-
ties involved from meeting the
problem.
