Michigan
Gentlemen:
I am very happy to report that
after a great deal of correspondence
and personal conferences, the De-
troit Brass and Malleable Company
have entered into q contract for a
fly ash and dust collector which
should abate the nuisance which for
years was allowed to exist in the
vicinity of their plant at the corner
Of 9th and Elm Streets In the City
Of Wyandotte.
The smoke abatement committee
and especially Fred Classon, the
smoke abatement inspector, deserve
a great deal of credit for their un-
firing efforts in bringing about a
solution to this problem.
Yours very truly.
Herbert P. Schendel,
City Attorney
Received and placed on file.
Honorable Mayor and Councilmen
City of Wyandotte
Michigan.
Gentlemen:
In answer to your request for an
opinion as to whether or not the
Municipal Service Commission Of
the City Of Wyandotte has q legal
right to fix electrical and water
rates.
I wish to quote a portion of Sec
ton II. Chapter Z. of the Charter
of the City of Wyandotte, which
reads as follows:
"On or before the second Mon
day of May of each year, the Com
mission shall transmit TO the Coun-
Gil its estimate In duplicate of the
amount of money required for its
purpose for the next fiscal year,
which amounts shall include the
amounts to be charged to the city
at large for hydrant service, water
furnished public institutions and
public swimming pools, street lights
and all services for which the city
should have to pay If 1t were pur-
chasing water or current from a
privately owned public service cor
poration."
1t is my opinion, in accordance
with this section. that the commits
sion does have legal right to fix
electric and water rates, and can fix
any rate they see fit for service to
the City of Wyandotte at large. as
long as the rate they charge other
users Of said service. rates compar-
able with privately owned public
service corporations. If it were nee
esSary to charge to the public users
of electricity and water a higher
rate In order to give the City of
Wyandotte a reduced rate. 1t would
be my opinion that giving the city
a reduced rate under those circum-
stances would be illegal.
AS to the personal liability of the
commission members, 1t is my opin-
ion that as long as the funds under
their control are in no way mis-
used, there can be no personal la
bility on their part.
Yours truly,
Herbert P. Schendel.

Dear Sir:
In reply to yours of the 18th in
slant, wish to state here and now
that I have definite connections
with THE INTERNATIONAL,
CLERGYMENs FEDE RATION
Unter-DenominationaD, having
been duly ordained as such. Our
Home Church Gospel Tabernacle"
is located at fireman and Wether-
by Streets, Detroit, Michigan.
Our aim In having these outside
services, wherever We can, is to
reach the non-church going public
with the gospel (Glad Tidings) of
JESUS CHRIST. The great prob
lem Of child delinquency can be
met, to large degree by rescuing
these boys and girls from their
present environment and presenting
them with something real and fun
damental.
I trust that the above informa-
ton will be to your satisfaction.
Yours very truly,
Dwight H. Drysdale,
