City Decides
it Will Try
Policy

Ypsilanti City Council Monday
evening took a step toward a new
public utilities policy Monday eve
ming when it placed on first reading
an ordinance which would make it
possible for an area east OF Ypsi-
lanti to obtain city water.
For many years it has been the
policy OF the city 10 deny munich
pal services 10 areas outside its
borders.
1t is now planned to allow water
outside The city and a meeting is
to be held by the board OF public
works and he Ypsilanti Township
board to agree on proper rates.
1t is the object OF the city to have
them high enough so that the citx
would be in a position to charge
similar rates in other areas which
might like to obtain the same ser
vices.
The city officials we're influenced
toward their change in policy by
the threat OF health problems near
the border OF the city and by the
wartime need OF the service. In
view OF federal grants to increase
the capacity OF the city water de-
partment and OF the hospital, il
was felt the city should be willing
to reciptocatC
The ordinance provides that a
perpetual easement be given the
federal government along Youngs
st. for installation OF water main
for the purpose of serving the area
in question. The government Is
not TO have the right to remove the
main and property owners along
Youngs st. are to have the right
to tap the main for water connec-
tons.
