Seaman Charles Blizzard, of the
Merchant Marine, was los t
March 9. He is survived by his
mother Mrs. Ruth Blizzard,
22744 Lambrecht avenue, a

neither the chance to swim nor
to be rescued. Before enlisting
last November in the Merchant
Marines he was an employee of
the Bundy Tubing company.

Heavy Airport
Claims Loom
Detroit Nay Foes
$232,627 Costs

Abandonment of its IL
months effort TO acquire an air
port site in Warren Township
will cost the treasury of the
City of Detroit approximately
S232,627-most of which will
be paid out in damages to mer-
chants and business people in
the Eight Mile-Dequindre area
coveted by Detroit during IL
months Of costly litigation.
This S ii m tie was made
Wednesday by Elmore E. Lester,
assignment clerk Of the Macomb
County Circuit Court, who has
been closely connected with the
condemnation proceeding.
Lester emphasized that no
claims have yet been filed
against the City of Detroit, but
he pointed out that this is the
usual procedure applicable as
soon as that city legally with
draws from the condemnation
matter.
SEE 10 PER CENT TOTAL
Lester consulted with compe-
tent authorities on condemna-
ton cases who are intimate with
the airport case, before making
his financial estimate. The fig
ure is 10 per cent of the entire
jury award of $2,326,278 hand
ed down in Judge Alton H.
Noes courtroom by a jury late
in May.
Lester said that not only can
the 25 attorneys representing
Warren Township property
owners file with the court a
claim for their fees in the case,
but uncounted scores of owners
of the 1873 parcels involved In
the condemnation can similarly
claim damages.
These damage claims would
be based on loss due to slowing
up or Stoppage of business; loss
Of time of the owner or operator
in attending court sessions; loss
of tenants from homes, trailer
camps, ETC.; loss of income due
to failure to put in truck garden
crops, and number of other
possible claims.
The court would settle on
these claims on an equitable
basis for all concerned, Lester
pointed out.
SIMILAR CASES
The assignment clerk re-
called that when the Huron
c ton Parkway Authority
dropped a condemnation suit in
Belleville more than a year ago,
more than 100000 in claims was
allowed against the parkway for
the benefit of property owners
and attorney. The principal con-
demnation amount involved In
this suit was several hundred
thousand dollars, whereas the
airport suit involves in excess
of S2,300,000 and concerns a
much larger number Of affected
property owners.
The City of Detroit, apart
from damage claims, will have
to pay the entire cost of the jury
proceedings in Circuit Court,
principal item of which will be
approximately $4,000 in jury
fees and meals, Lester estimated.
In addition, Detroit will pay the
fees Of an assistant counsel,
hired for an estimated $500 for
the suit, and also pay fees and
expenses of more than a dozen
expert witnesses who testified
for that city's case.
