Building For
Month SIunps

Building slumped in lpsilanti
during January. as shown by the
records OF the city engineers ONCE,
where only six permits for erecting
and remodeling were issued This
condition is attributed to difficulty
connected with procuring priori.

did not encourage building. Com
pared with January. 1871, present
activity along this line are almost
nil, with last years total expendl-
lures for the month amounting 10
$25.950, and this years a paltry
$2.475.

nit was issued to park trailer on lot
in connection with residence, Oscar

which expired Feb. ?.
Cause for virtual stoppage OF new
building here may be seen in the
fact that under the priorities quota
system for privately constructed
war housing various price and rent.
al rate brackets are set up by the
National Housing Agency and the
War Production Board. Approval
OF applications for new construc.
ton has been limited by the quotas
assigned TO these several price
levels.
In connection with the Ford
Bomber Plant critical housing area
experience revealed difficulty in
getting housing built in the lower
brackets while the upper brackets
were exhausted by certificates is
sued. The National Housing Agency
now states that all remaining quota
in the lower brackets may be trans.
ferred TO the upper brackets which
range from $500 10 $4,000 total
sale price and $40 TO $50 monthly
rental. The FLA is in receipt of
sufficient priority applications

haust the remaining quota for this
area.

Washington. Feb. s-UP-A big.

is brewing today that will make

fers' priorities contest with the
War and Navy Departments seem
OF relative small importance.
The fundamental dispute is over
the future OF the synthetic rubber
industry once 1t is established n
this country.
Vice President Henry A. Wallace
laid the question out for public in
spection last July - In an ar.
ticle written for the New York
Times magazine in which he pro-
posed that the synthetic industry
he strapped after the war except
for "a few small plants" Wal.
laces idea is that the United States
should get the bulk OF its postwar
rubber from Latin America and the
Far East.

on that and there are indications
OF further dissent TO develop as
time brings the issue more promin-
emily before the public. LETTERS

the House Naval and Military AZ
fairs Committees yesterday his
complaint that the War and Navy

More Men
Needed
Commission Points
to Difficulty in
Obtaining Help

City council will meet next Mon
day night with the fire commission
and civil service board to determine
what action can he taken to avoid
further property loss and possible
loss of life in conflagrations such
as that which destroyed the Doran
Chevrolet Garage, Jan. 20.
Need for prompt action was indi-
Gated by appeal OF the FIRE com.
mission for at least two more men
in the department and by warning
from Mr. Doran that the depart
ment is dangerously understaffed.
Fred Peters of the Junior Cham
Der of Commerce pointed out that
last summer that organization had
asked that more men be appointed
and Andrew Smith. of the same
group. pointed out need for const-
ant vigilance TO prevent fire haZ-
ards, particularly in the business
area.
Mr.. Doran was most emphatic in
his appeal for more men in the de-
partment. He said that overcrowd-
ed housing conditions have made
it necessary for many men to take
up quarters in garrets. Should
the time come when they would
have TO jump to a life net it would
take virtually every member OF a
single fire department shift just
to hold the net. he pointed out.
He complimented the men who
fought his fire in the highest terms
but asserted that, because they
were so few they didn't have
chance Pressure was also poor
and hydrant locations were bad. he
said. One line had to be laid
across Michigan Ave. making it
necessary for police and auxiliary
helpers to direct traffic instead ~
helping in the emergency, he told
aldermen.
He said tina he was not himself
notified of the fire until S a. nj.
although the fire department was
called at 4:20. He suggested that
a better system of notifying both
owners and auxiliary firemen be de.
vised. He reminded the council
that, Life and property are in your
hands and you should do some
thing. I'm not going to rest until
| see something done about it, he
concluded.
