TIC the Honorable
The Mayor and Council
City of Wyandotte
Gentlemen:
In reference to the accident of
William Sucoe. of 1920 Wilfred
Avenue, Detroit go Michigan, on
August 20, 1916, I wish to report
as follows:
This accident, as stated. took
place on August 90, 1945, when the
elm tree at the corner of Biddle
Avenue and Chestnut Street, Wyan-
dotte, tell during a severe wind
storm, striking the above claim
ants car which was parked at the
corner.
The records do not show that this
particular tree had ever been prev
iously reported as defective. !
might add that the tree was ex-
amined at the time of the accident
and it was in a healthy condition,
showing no evidence of deteriora-
ton. The storm uprooted this par
ticular tree when the same thing
happened to other healthy trees in
other parts Of the city.
1t is my opinion that this acct
dent was caused thru an Act of
God and not thru any negligence
on the part of the City of Wyan-
dotte. and I 60 hereby recommend
that inasmuch as there is no liza
bility on the part of this city, that
this claim be denied.
Respectfully,
Herbert P. Schendel,
CITY Attorney
Referred to Council.
To the Honorable
The Mayor and Council
City of Wyandotte
Gentlemen:
The Wyandotte General Hospital
is in arrears in its contribution to
the pension fund in amount of s13,-
sS4.45. This is as Of September 80,
l945, at the end Of the first fiscal
year OF operation Of the retirement
system.
1t is my advice to your Honor
able Body that the city assume this
obligation inasmuch as the cash
balance Of the Wyandotte General
Hospital at this time is in the
neighborhood of $l5,OO0.0o, and to
be compelled, under these circum-
stances, to meet this deficit would
work a hardship upon the hospital.
The hospital commission has
made arrangements to take care of
future pension charges and, in view
OF this decision on the part of the
commission, 1t is my recommended
ton that this amount be trans
ferred from the surplus funds of
the city TO the pension accunula-
ion fund in the pension budget.
Very truly yours,
Ford Wagar,
City Clerk
Referred to Council.
