Honorable Mayor and COuncilmen
of the City of WyandOtte
Gentlemen:
For the past Years | have conducted
traffic court one night per week from
{ pm. until all casts were disposed Of.
This procedure was followed for the
benefit of the wOrkfngmen who were
unable To attend court during the reg
ular court hours which were from
10 100 am to l. 90 am. and from 200
pm. To 100 pm. | wish to state that
! conducted this night court for all
these years without additional com
penSatiOn. which | believe | WAS en-
titled To.
Al the present time. due to the de
Tense program put i'll operation by our
.Overumt mt, ii il more than ever nee
tS>nry To continue the night cases TO
make it possible for the wOrkingmen to
appear Under the present system. if
man is given traffic ticket to appear
on day certain and he does not ap-
pear. he Police Department demands
warrant for his arrest and he is
held until the court cOnvPneS. This
man may be Il necessary part of the
defense program and the factories to-
day do not want an employee to take
any time off. You can therefore see
how vital ii is tO continue night court.
In view of these facts and because
# he necessity of spending more time
than required by the regular court SEES
sion. do respectfully request that
This Honorable Body pass Il resoluticL
10 become effective February =. 1912.
allowing me rs Judge the sum of S10.Oi
per week for hearing traffic cases one
nigh Il week. which is considered eX
I'll compensation and allowable under
The charter.
Thanking yOu for your kind con>id-
Grafton and awaiting favorable reply.

Dear Sir:
Pursuant to your letter of January
2., regarding the communication re-
ccivrd from Miss Sophie PelarSki, S02
seventh street. WyandOtle. relative to
injury sustained by her on Biddle Ave
nue. in tht vicinity of the Pennsylvania
Salt Manufacturing Company. which
was referred To me, beg to report as
follows:
have contacted Miss PelarSke i'll
his matter and have been informed
that the alleged injury was caused by
stepping in Il hole i'll South Biddle
Avenue, where new road construction
i being carried on under the direction
of the County Road Commission, and
ia 81 doing Miss Pelarske injured her
kntS.
Biddlp Avenue has been taken over
10y Wayne County and all construction
work WAS under the direct control Of
the County Road Commission. there
tore the statutory liability for the care
!f city streets rests with the County
under Section 3gl6 of the Compiled
Laws of 1870. In such eases where the
comfy has taken over city stress to
hp designated as county roads. the sta
luip> place the liability on the County
Tor injuries caused OH said streets.
therefore M liability rests with the
city.
| would recommend hat cOpOy o:
This be forwarded 10 Miss PelarSke to
inform her Of the lack of liability up
"m the city and informing her that she
will have to take the mater up with
n, County Of Wayne.
Respectfully submitted.
