City Reaches
New lnpasse
onDanceHall
Again Fail to
Have Majority
Vote on Issue

YpsiIand city council Monday
evening took another whirl at the
proposed dance hall at , W. Mich
igan Ave. and then left It in exactly
the same position in which il was
at the close Of the last meeting.
At that time council voted five TO
four TO deny the request for a per-
init. City Attorney John p. Kirk
pointed out that the rules of order
require a majority vote of elected
aldermen Alderman William Cole
man was absent and there was not
the required majority. As a result
the request was neither approved
nor denied.
The same thing happened Mon
day night but in reverse. This time
the vote was five to three against
denial of the petition but since
there was again not a majority o.
the elected aldermen voting, the
same impasse occurred as before
Those who favored granting the
permit were Aldermen Erwin Schill.
Clarence Loesell, William c. Du-
rant, c. William Coleman, and Al
fred T. DeOtte. Against allowing
the dance hall we're Aldermen Leon
Burrell, William A. Jellis and Ed
ward H. Block. Aldermen John
Ableson and Forrest Tefft did not
vote.
Herbert Paul, who has been seek
ing the license. had read to the
council report Of Merle Renton,
building inspector. in which it was
shown the dance hall would be ar
rar ed to comply with building re-
strictions in Ypsilanti. He also as
sured the council that he would be
glad to comply with whatever
health regulations were required
and that he would also operate un-
der provisions Of the dance hall
ordinance now in the process of
enactment in the council. The or
dinance was placed on second read
ing Monday night.
Mr.. Paul had first asked a permit
to operate a dance hall Sept and
since that date he has offered to
comply with whatever regulations
the city sees fit for control OF such
a place. In his original petition he
assured council that only soft
drinks would be allowed. that a
doorman would be on duty to see
that no undesirable persons en-
tered. and there would be no taxi
dancing and that there would be no
Sunday dancing. 1t was his inten-

The association is a merger of the
National Home Builders Association

The group maintains that definite
allocations by the Requirements

In First Six Months .
TotuI $60,4l4.A6
BY FRED H. MORHART, Jr.

Washington led the Nation dur
ing the first six months of this year
in building construction, according
to a tabulation of building permits
issued, the Labor Department an
nounced today. Nearly doubling the
valuation as compared with last
year, the report shows permits were
issued here amounting to $60,4l4,4 ,446,
as compared with $37 ,545 ,232 for the
first half of last year.
Second to Washington was Los
Angeles with $53,968, ,459, a million
dollar decline from last year. One
of the sharpest decreases was re-
corded in New York City where
the permit valuation dropped from
S137 ,097 O10 last year to So, ,68l .634
for the first six months OF this
year.
While the District showed re-
markable gain, most Of the 125 re-
porting cities had losses Of from a
few hundred thousand dollars to
millions Of dollars.

The overall national decrease for
the 125 reporting cities was % per

tive period non-residential con-
struction declined II per cent while
additions. alterations and repairs
dropped 81 per cent.
Last month a fall of 81 per cent
was recorded nationally as COM
pared with June a year ago. How
ever, in the District there was an
assuring increase, generally attrib-
uted to the influx of war workers.

Millions Lost in Fires
Due 10 CareIessness

Fire losses total millions Of dollars
annually. And much Of this loss can
be attributed directly to carelessness
and negligence.
Home owners should take every
precaution to protect their properties
against fire. Faulty wiring, elec-
trical outlets and appliances should
be attended to without delay.
Attics, storerooms and cellars
should be cleaned regularly. Care
should be exercised In the use OF
inf1ammable cleaning fluids. Oily
rags should Immediately be dis
posed of.
Heating units should be checked
to keep them in safe operation
These are just a few OF the reasons
for many home fires.
