COMMkNTS
Last week. a committee OF citi =.
zons went to the Ecorse council
with a few demands. The resolu-
ton submitted asked for a health
physician, public nurse, another
colored patrolman, repairing of
Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets,
trimming OF all trees hanging over
the sidewalks and streets. cleaning
out OF all catch basins. completing
the paving OF Eleventh and Hya-
cinch streets which were torn up
last autumn. oiling some Of the
dusty streets, cutting weeds in al
leys and sidewalks, placing coll
ored man as foreman of the West
side to take care OF all alleys, sew
ers and tree-trimming. These are
just a few OF the Improvements
needed In Precincts IL and II. The
council promised to take care Of
some OF these requests, at Their
next regular meeting Tuesday. Aug.
IL. especially the request for pub
lie health physician and a nurse.
The main question now confronting
the committee is in reference to
who will be the nurse. All are In
agreement on endorsing DR.. G.. o.
Salisbury for health physician.
Your writer wonders why the az
gument on the nurse question. Mrs.
Beulah Hill was our nurse for Il
couple of years. when the cOmmun-
iiy vas a village. Why not now? L.
IS understood that part OF the
committee Is planning to recon-
mend a nurse who lives in Chicago
WHY ignore Mrs. Hill? She IS 6
citizen and taxpayer in Ecorse and
registered nurse in WAYNE couE-
~ and the State Of Michigan. II
Mrs. Hill Is not wanted. aren't
there any registered nurses in and
around Detroit? II we are not care
full. we will not get nurse. be-
cause city officials are hoping for
some disagreement among the
committee. You know what they
are going 10 say, Get together 4"
So. citizens. let's get together and
fool them once, by agreeing on one
nurse. before next council meet
ing.
Speaking about another patrol
man. plenty OF pressure will have TO
be put on present officials. Their
argument will probably be that In
clio Sam needs all the young men
and regulations don't allow them
TO hire mlddle-aged men. But press
your claims hard. They have hired
men above the age limit. The same
laws that were made by Tip Goodeil
ana his trustees. 10 govern the DO
lice department, have not been
changed. SO get together. citizens.
IN a large BODY and 20 down this
Tuesday, August II. not with p
two-way argument but with one
thought In mind-more appoint
ments and more improvements for
tho West Side OF the track.
II seems that Club 400 ran foul
OF the law. on last Sunday night.
w Wetho hkO. prosecutors ana
Wayne county sheriffs made a mid
night raid and took a small auan-
tiiy OF assorted drinks as evidence
along with the bartender OF the
club, the waitress and another
young man. All three we're re-
leased, after being questioned by
The prosecutor. All officials OF the
club were also called in and cues
toned by the prosecutors office
What the outcome will be. nobody
knows.
