Leaislotion Cited

The probability of increased
revenue through taxation of de-
tense plants recently located In
the County was reported to the
County Board of Supervisors to-
day.
The Supervisors were told that
a new bill, the Communities
Service Bill, now going through
both Houses Of Congress would
enable such taxes, but 1t was
pointed out that as the bills are
now Yorded, the County .dQes
not approve of the legislation.
Supervisor H arold Lindsey
said that suggestions for amend
ments in both bills have been
forwarded to Congressional rep
resentatives in both the Senate
and the House of Representatives
in order to effect The changes
which the County feels are nee
essary.
LAND VALUE BASIS
He said that the law would
allow taxation on the basis of
the land value, which in cases
of former farm property would
not compensate for the addition
al services. The County Is asking
a change to add to this a tax on
the machinery in the plants.
Only plants operated by pri-
vate corporations for the War
Department would come under
the bill. Housing projects of va
rious types would also pay a rev.
enue of from 5 to Is per cent of
rentals In lieu of taxes as q serv-
ice charge to the communities
where situated.
The point developed in q re-
port of the Defense Committee
of the Board Of Supervisors

Board to Act
on Sheriff's
Plea for Aid

After contracting Governor
d. Van Wagner, the County
Board of Supervisors was to act
at its afternoon session today on
the Sheriff's Committee recon-
mendation calling for the imme-
date abandonment Of the pres
ent patrol around the war plants
in Warren Township.
Action on the recommends
ton was delayed by the Board
until the Governor could be con-
tacted and appraised Of the de-
cision although 1t was pointed
out he had already received .
telegram and letter to that ef-
feet and had made no response.
Controller Sherwood Bennett
left the Board session to tele-
phone Lansing but had made no
report by the time the Board ad-
journed until later today.
ON TEMPORARY BASIS
In It's report, the SherlffS
Committee set today as the date
for discontindance because of in
sufficient fund to maintain the
eight-man detail which was or
ganized on the declaration of
war and has been operating on
q day-to-day basis in the area
which contains two major arse
mails, the Chrysler Tank Plant
and the u. s. Naval Ordnance
plant, as well a. myriad other
allied defense industry plants.
Similar action had been con-
sidered by the Board on previous
meetings but no decision was
made at that time and the patrol
was continued.

ed by President Roosevelt today
with Admiral E. J. King, the
newly designated supreme COM
mander of naval operations, and
Rear Admiral Thomas c. Hart,
just returned from the South
west Pacific area.
Hart served as naval chief for
the United Nations in the South
west Pacific until he asked to be
relieved several weeks ago be-
cause of poor health.
Hart conferred with Secretary
of Navy Knox before going to
the White House.
King, who was already COM
mander- in-chief of the u. S.
fleet, took over the duties here
tofore entrusted to Admiral Har-
old r. Stark as chief of naval
operations.
