Honorable Mayor and Council
City Of Wyandotte,
Michigan
Gentlemen:
Attached is copy of minutes OF
special meeting of the Executive
Committee of the Office of Vet
Grams Affairs, held October 3rd
1945.
1t was brought out at the meet
ing that there were 3O1 cases in
the Office of Veterans Affairs DUR
ing the month of September and 81
in the first three days of October.
1t was agreed that office space
and personnel are inadequate to
care for the needs of returning serv-
ice men at the present rate of re-
lease from the armed forces, which
Is continually becoming greater.
In September. $4,000 were released
in Michigan and this will increase
at the rate of 5000 per month until
June 1915. according to Selective
Service figures, when a peak of 49,
200 per month is released for a totaI
of $4,000 for the eight month
period.
Consequently. the Executive Com
mittee adopted two resolutions re-
questing the City Council to obtain
larger quarters for the office, and
to increase the budget Of the office
to provide for additional help in
the office.
Respectfully.
Edward Kane, Secretary

Parks and Boulevards, which I fee
is self-explanatory.

Mr.. Louis Brohl. Chairman
Victory Garden Committee
Wyandotte, Michigan
Dear Sir:
wish at this time to give you {
final report on our 1945 Garder
Season which. am happy to state
was the most successful year W,
have had so far.
AS stated in my letter to you O
July 31st, our greatest number o
garden applications were received
this year and to the best of Oh,
knowledge they were all worked
There were few cancellations a
the end of the year, due to mel
being called into the service, etc
but we had a waiting list for then
and they were all used to advantage
AS you know. there is some con
troversy regarding the gardens a
Marshall and Sixth, containin,
thirty plots, to be used for play
grounds. In the event these garden
plots are used for recreational pur
poses it will then be necessary TO
us to find other gardens for tn
residents in these localities.
This project has grown from Al
gardens in 1912 to 2018 the past sea
son and might add there was con
siderable saving in cost the pas
season due to the fact that al
equipment repairs were handled b
the Park Department. The cost 70
the past two seasons was as follows
1917 .................. .S3,9lO.I
lS4o .................. $3,2li.7
