Up for Vote
$1,000. Sought
for County Building

Practically forgotten in the
tumult of the presidential cam
paign is resolution passed by
the board OF county supervisors
last June placing on the ballot
the question of mortgaging Wayne
County for a new $1,000. 1000 ad-
ministrative building.
The structure, which Is sug-
gested as a part OF the proposed
new civic center on the water
front al the foot OF Woodward,
would not be undertaken until
after the war.
In submitting the question now,
the supervisors are looking for
consent from the voters so that
they can get the project under
way when the war is won and
priorities disappear.
PROJECTS hackers
The idea of new administra'
tive building. housing both city
and county offices. was originated
by groups which want the water

fact that the city and county to-

Because the county would
