County Tire
Quota Higher

Although the July tire quota for
Washtenaw County is 1887 tires
for passenger cars against 973 last
month. the demand is greatly in
creased, according to Storm Van
derzee, mileage rationing officer OF
the Detroit district office, and will
increase more during August.
The impression that the public
has that passenger car tires are
no longer rationed is erroneous;
many people in vital industries and
all A card holders must recap their
tires or they will be forced to store
their cars for at least six months,
he said.
The quota for small truck tires
for July is 1907, a decrease OF -

Tax Reassessn1ent Will be Sought
to
be Avoided
This Year

Ypsilanti Taxpayers Association
has decided to turn its immediate
efforts toward obtaining a reassess-
ment Of property values for next
year following decision against ap-
plying for any general injunction
against the new assessment rolls.
This action was taken by the tent
porary officers Of the association.
Charles Hill, acting chairman,
stated: ANY general injunction
would imperil the raising of all
taxes, assuming that such an injunc-
ton could be obtained. Such a sit
uation is no more acceptable TO the
taxpaying citizens OF this town than
are some OF the actual assessments
and procedures involved.
Assessments increased from so
10 100 per cent and more" are hard
ly understands BILE. Further the COM
pared civilizations in many instanc-
es reported seem definitely out Of
line" says Andrew Smith, chairman
OF the publicity committee. "Ap-
peals for specific instances and re.
view OF the situation in general
have not stopped but rather are
being worked into a larger plan
upon which even now Investigation
Is active"
The representatives OF the asso.
citation and interested people have
spent two evenings with a legal
counselor. These people are, in
addition to Mr.. Smith, Ray Fugate,
secretary; Roger Armstrong, treas
urer; R. Carleton Starr, Courtney
Novak and Harvey Mesic.
The association plans TO meet at
the Ypsilanti High School week
from Monday to review plans and
make 4 permanent organization. A.
this time a constitution will be pre-
sented by Mr.. Hills committee
which includes Mr.. Starr, James
Mohler, and Miss Ruth Cattermole.
Any taxpayers interested may at
tend this meeting.
