rounds up and down the Broadway
OF Ecorse, l am convinced that most
OF the people on the eastside real
ize that they made a big mistake
In the recent election. The big
question now being asked Is. why
the Ecorse police department. who
Is supposed to keep law and order
have publicly broken the law by
driving cars through the city with
out 1912 license plates. Also, the
DPw had to dump their garbage in
Ecorse, on account OF not having
proper plates. Where were our
Cit, Fathers? OF course. we all
know the powers-that-be. along
with their henchmen. left town in
order to celebrate their victory. but
why didn't they take care OF their
obligations before leaving. The
police department since March !
has apparently been great joke
to traffic vlolators from out-of-town.
All the violators have 10 do Is to
cross the city line OF Ecorse, and
the Ecorse officers are afraid TO
20 after them, for fear Of receiving
traffic tickets themselves. At this
writing. the police department Is
still operating cars without licen-
ses. We wonder II the city Is in the
red so deep after the campaign and
then tore up Visger road. that II
can't afford to pay its own taxes?
When the writer asked several
officials about the condition OF the
police and street departments, all
answered aboutthe same-"We can
do nothing until we get a quorum"
The quorum happens to be the
mayor and three councilmen, all
OF whom are out OF town at this
writing.
