mediate court action to halt Ma

The commission, accusing East
Detroit and Warren Township of
dumping raw sewage into those
waters, served notice on High
land Park, Crosse Pointe Woods
and Detroit that the source of
their public water supply was
polluted "out of approved con-
troll"
The attorney general was ask
ed to start court action at once
to correct the situation and the
state and local health authori-
ties were asked to declare the
area unfit for swimming. Such
an order, it said, would affect
st. Clair Shores, Crosse Pointe
Shores, Crosse Pointe Farms,
Crosse Pointe, Crosse Pointe
Park and Detroit.

Another commission resolu-
ton told the Federal Housing
administration that construction
or occupancy of any more hous-
ing developments in southern

terially to the pollution problem.
The con mission said East De-
