that there is a lack of interest as
regards new methods and material
Just now this city has a problem
confronting us. and that is what
to do about Thin Veneers" used
to reface buildings. Other subjects
might be listed as follows: ade-
quate exits, chimneys. access tt
buildings by Fire Department. wa
terproofing Of Easements and floors
and there are numerous other
items.
So that further and reasonable
consideration may be given to these
problems, may We suggest that a
committee be appointed, perhaps to
consist of a member Of the Council
one Of the Fire Department, one
from the Engineering Department
an architect and a builder.
At this time we are holding UP
a project that calls for thin We
neered" face of a two-story build
ing and we are anxious to be able
TO advise whether this application
should be approved or rejected.
Respectfully submitted,
Fred w. Classon,
Building Inspector
Referred to Council.
Honorable Mayor and Councilmen
City Of Wyandotte
Gentlemen:
In reference to the condemned
dwelling on Third Street, 1 wish to
ADVISE that I have contacted the
occupants who are Mr.. and Mrs
Rushlow and family. and 1 find
that they have purchased home
in the south end of town and will
move by the end Of the month. ]
found that Mrs. Rushlow just re-
turned from the hospital and is still
n a very weakened condition and
could not be removed from the
premises at the present time.
II this family does not vacate by
the end Of this month, if the coun-
Gil so desires, I will take legal steps
to dispossess them.
Yours truly,
Herbert P. Schendel,
City Attorney
Referred to Council.
Honorable Mayor and Councilmen
City OF Wyandotte
Gentlemen:
In reference to your question as
TO whether or not he Public Vel.
fare Commission can legally recog-
nize any union for exclusive bar
gaining rights, I wish to advise as
follows:
In checking the Michigan law
I cannot find where our courts
have passed on this question, but
courts Of other jurisdiction seemed
unanimous in their opinion that
exclusive bargaining rights, involv-
ing governmental departments. are
invalid on the grounds that a
closed shop agreement would be an
unjust discrimination between cit
liens In selecting employees and
that 1t would be an unlawful and
unconstitutional delegation to the
labor union of the authority vested
in the Public welfare Commission
The charter provides that the Com
mission shall not have authority
to enter into any contract of en-
ployment not determinable at the
will OF the Commission without the
consent of the Council.
1t Is my opinion from the Law
that / have found and from the
charter provision, the council would
have no legal right to enter into q
written contract with any labor
union. Z do believe however, that il
the council so desires, they may
verbally enter into negotiations or
behalf Of the hospital employees
which matter would be determinable
at the will of the council and in my
opinion may solve the problem.
Yours truly,
Herbert p. Schendel.
City Attorney

To the Honorable
The Major and Council
City Of Wyandotte
Gentlemen:
In answer to some public ques-
tioning as to what action is being
taken in the matter of a fair cost
for Wayne County Drain No. 5,
wish to report that several meet
ings have been held with the Wayn,
County Drain Commission and the
Wayne County Road Commission
but that as yet no decisive action
has been taken.
BY the comparison of tax bills
the taxpayer will note that the
maintenance cost has been reduced
materially for this year, but thai
the cost for the installation remains
the same.
] have collected considerable
data and have discussed this mat
ter with several of our local attor-
neys. The conclusion that 1 have
reached is that the drainage laws
Of the State Of Michigan are very
complicated and contradictory aflo
It has been the advice Of the sew
eral attorneys that it is necessary
to employ the services of an attor-
ney who has specialized In drain
age laws of the State of Michigan
I therefore recommend that the
City Attorney be authorized to EN-.
ploy the services Of an attorney
who he knows to be a specialist on
