A CCESS is limited to principal
IA arteries, with traffic leaving or
entering without interference with
through traffic.
All grades are separated, and
there are no traffic lights.
Just as it stands today as
symbol of the might of America at
war, so it will play part in the de
vefopment of a network of roads of
the future.
For thousands to want to leave
the crowded sections of Detroit, the
highway will open vast region for

A LTHOUGH intended primarily
IA as a link in the uictory road to
Berlin, the newly dedicated WilloIO
Run-Detroit industrial ExpressWay
is destined to play an imposing part
in the peacetime future of Metro

Indeed, this city could have few
better postwar inheritances than this
speedy, dual highway to main routes
leading to Chicago, Toledo and other
points west and south of the metrop-
oils.

THE boys who deliver The Detroit

United States Treasury to increase
their day in and day out sale of war
savings stamps.
Many subscribers might be apt to
forget it, but Times carriers since the
beginning of the war have been
selling war stamps from door to door
helping to channel every loose
dime into the march to victory.
TIMES carriers in past months

YESTERDAYS meeting at city
l. hall concerning the proposed
oakwood Housing project offered
hopeful indication that some prog
ress is being made by Detroit in
interracial relations.
Although the meeting involved
the question of Negro housing de
velopment in hitherto white neigh
borhood-a subject which has caused
bitter strife and even bloodshed in
the past-the mood of those who at
tended was mild and good natured.

NelU Personal Property Tax Is
Explained By Wilton T. Allen

The only change that the new
personal property law made over
the law already in effect was to
make it mandatory to file return
each year, Wilton r. Allen, super
visor of assessments, explained
yesterday. Heretofore, the law
only required the filing Of re-
turn at the time Of re-assessment
which was every five years or
upon the request of the Board of
County Commissioners between
re-assessments. This was unfair
as those people moving in and out
of the county between re-assess-
ments were never required to file
and pay their just share of tax.
The new law as passed is worded
so that all will be treated alike as
all are required to file and penal
ties are provided for those who in
tentionally do not do so.
Those who have filed in the past
will make their return h the same
manner as before. For those who

Yearly Profit
Is $346,813.
To Be Used Partly For
Schools, Roads and Recrea-

The Montgomery County Liquor
Control Board on Friday turned
cver.to the' County Commissioners
check for $307,25O, profits from
the operation of the liquor board
for the fiscal year, ending January
30th.
According to Beryl R. English,
manager of the dispensary system,
the checks represents only part of
the profits for the year. A total
$346,813 was realized, but from
this $12,750 was paid on the
amortization Of the liquor build
ing mortgage, and $26,S13 was set
aside for purchase of new stock.
The remaining $50 will be
spent on schools and roads, out
standing bonds and the county's
recreation program, English said,
as provided by law.
The check will be turned over
to the County Comptroller, Alex
ander X. Hanock and Alfred d.
Noyes, president of the Board of
County Commissioners.

'have not in the past filed a return,
there is an exemption of five
hundred dollars on household fur
niture Ito be deducted by the
Board Of Assessment only under
item of schedule "B". Wearing
apparel and jewelry habitually
worn does not need TO be returned
on the schedule.
All returnable property should
be returned on present day value
and not on its original cost. In
determining the present day value
the yard stick Of "willing buyer
and willing seller" rule should be
used, meaning what the owner
would be willing to accept and
would expect to receive for the
property if he were disposed to
sell. Sentimentality does not count
in arriving at value.
1T is hoped and desired that
this new law will be fair to all and
not penalize just a few who are
willing to accept their share Of the
tax burden, Mr.. Allen stated.

1916 IN A NUTSHELL

Ystrictions will gradually be les
sened.
The retail prices of most manu.
featured products will be higher
during 1916 that at present. The
prices of some of the food products
may decline.
The unit sales of some depart
ment stores will begin to decline
some time during 1916; but the
sales of the food and variety chains
may continue at peak figures.
The great question mark of 1916
will be how, to whom and at what
price the government will dispose
of its billions Of dollars worth of
unueeded supplies.
FARM OUTLOOK
Pending a weather upset, more
bushels Of CORN and wheat and
more bales of cotton will be raised
in 1946 than ever before In our
history. Although some prices may
slide off, a total farm income for
1916 should hold up fairly we'll.
There should be an increase in
certain fruits, fish products and
vegetables with a decline in
prices. The U. s. will have more
to eat in 1916 than in 1916. The
per capita consumption should be
1919 above the prewar level of
1935-1939.
Dairy and poultry products will
continue to increase in volume with
no increase in price. There will be
a great surplus of eggs; but fats,
sugar and some canned goods will
continue short.
Farmers will start in 1916 to
work to extend legislation on their
parity program due to fear Of a
postwar collapse in farm prices.
TAXES
Taxes will not be increased dur
ing 1916; and there may be further
reduction. Some nuisance taxes
will be eliminated altogether.
The Federal Debt will continue
to increase during 1916, but ex-
pect no War Bond Drives.
Whatever is done about taxes,
the cost of living will continue to
rise during 1916 due largely to in
creased wages.
Providing jobs for returning
soldiers at satisfactory wages will
be the big political task of 1916.
There will be jobs for all, but not
at the wages desired.
