Referred to Council.
Honorable Mayor and Council
Wyandotte, Michigan
Gentlemen:
With reference to automobile bids
opened at regular session Of the
Council on April 3rd and referred
to the writer, I beg to report as
follows:
The bid of the Down River Chev-
rolet is the lowest and, in my opin-
ion, the best bid submitted and I
recommend its acceptance, contin-
gent on our priority application
being approved. This application
is now before the War Production
Board.
The proposal of the Down River
Chevrolet is to furnish a new 1915
Chevrolet Il ton pickup at the
OPA. ceiling price of approximate
ly $500, less allowance of $500 on
our 1893 Plymouth coupe, motor
No. 11824B serial No. 1875.
Respectfully submitted,
Wilfred Kane.

To the Honorable
The Mayor and Council
OF the City of Wyandotte
Gentlemen:
Attached you will find copies of
two petitions submitted to your
Honorable Body, both dated Octo-
Der October 80, 1914, one for the
paving of
Eighteenth Street from North
Line to Davis
and the other for the paving Of
Eighteenth Street from Davis to
Clark Streets
The signers Of these petitions
have asked that the City Engineer
be requested to refigure the 'front.'
age involved on the two petitions,
considering the same as one petit
ton, inaSmuch as both petitions
are for the paving of Eighteenth
Street, the one being but an extern
sion of the other.
They are of the belief that there
are signatures to warrant the paw
ing Of this street thus figured. They
believe also that there is a dupli-
cate Of one Of these petitions.
Very truly yours,
Ford Wagar, City Clerk
Referred to City Engineer.
To the Honorable Mayor and
Council
Wyandotte, Michigan
Gentlemen:
The Victory Garden Committee
Is pleased to report that an offer
has been received from the Wyan-
dotte Chemicals Corporation for
donation Of $4,000, maturity value,
Of War Bonds to be used as prizes
during the 1915 season. This Is an
increase Of $4,000 over their con-
tribution of last year and Is
prompted by the success of the 1914
campaign, when more than 1000
gardens were plowed and prepared
for planting.
Award for prize gardens will be
similar to last year, when $4,000
Of bonds were distributed among Is
winners, the city being divided in
to five sections, with 5000 bond
and two $500 bond prizes for each
section. The balance of $4,000 in
bonds will be awarded as prizes at
a canning and vegetable exhibit,
the details of which will be an
nomced at a later date.
At the present time more than
1900 applications for garden plots
have been received. A great many
Of these plots were plowed last Fall
and the balance will be plowed
and disced as conditions permit.
It Is quite evident, from the in
terest displayed, that the Victory
Garden program is heartily en-
dorsed by the citizens of wyan-
dotte, and the Gardening for Vic
tory will again pay big dividends.
Respectfully submitted.
