sorting one union raided another
TO further interests OF certain
leaders. Circuit Judge George w.
Sample today termed the transfer
OF Flint culinary workers from an
A. F. OF L. local to the Clio Allied
Service Workers Union a fraud"
In handing down his decision in
the Flint suit, which grew out of
jurisdictional dispute that took the

that Local sos of the A. F. of L.

Park May be
Building Site

The northwest corner Of Gilbert
Park and the southwest corner OF
the city market lot are both being
considered by city officials as pos
sible sites for a new city police de
partment.
Gilbert Park is thought a likely
site for the proposed building be-
cause of adequate parking facili-
ties
The city market lot was first con
sidered as a site for the building be
cause of its proximity to the munich
pal court and jail. Officials now
claim that a building on this site
would cause more traffic conges-
ton on surrounding streets and in
the parking lot.
Also being discussed by city off
cials is the type of building and
what il will contain. One and two
story structures have been consid-
cred with the municipal court on
second floor and Jail quarters in an
other part Of the building.
r. S. Gerganoff, architect. is
drawing preliminary plans for the
structure which will probably BE-
about 40 by go feet.
Cost OF the building at a city
council meeting Jan. 10 was esti-
mated at $4,000 but rising prices
might bring this cost up. officials
point out
At the Jan. 10 council meeting the
police commission was authorized to
obtain a plan and estimates for a
new building. 1t is expected that a
report will be made at the next coun-
Gil meeting Feb. is.
