Superforts Effect Complete Jap Shipping Blockade
By LIN SPENCER

GUAM, Aug. 3 - {P - The Twentieth Airforce has announc- ed that Superforts have estab- lished a complete shipping block ade of the Japanese home islands. Reporting that huge mining op- erations have been carried out by the Twentieth Airforce, the spokesman estimated that Japan's teeming millions are receiving less than half the food and raw materials needed to carry on the war and to feed the troops and civilians, and as a result they are now dipping heavily into their stores.
 The spokesman said every har- bor of any importance throughout the home islands and Korea, from Fusan to Rashin in northern Ko- req near Siberia have been, and are being mined by Superforts.

Big Three Agreement Makes Germany Nation Of Farming And Home Industry

Bomb Explosion ShOrtens Truman's London Visit

LONDON, Aug. 3-R The Evening News speculated that the explosion of a bomb detonated by disposal squads a few hours be- fore President Truman's arrival might have been the reason for shortening of the tour of Ply mouth streets, and missing the waiting dignitaries and crowds.
 The bomb was a medium weight relic of Nazi blitz days. Other papers had expressed an- noyance at the change in plans and blamed the American Secret Police.

 It also slapped Franco of Spain in expressing readiness to support application for United Nations membership of all European neu- trals except Spain. Only indirect ly was Japan mentioned and then only military reference "during the conference there were meet ings of the chiefs of staff of the three governments on military matters of common interest"
 The historic report was issued as President Truman sped home on the Cruiser Augusta.
 The Big Three agreed in politi- cal matters that quite as far as possible there would be uni formity of treatment of German population throughout Germany"
 Economically Germany is to be treated as single unit" through the fullest use of German administrative machinery in order to bring home to Germans that any breakdown of these controls rests with themselves" Germany must rid herself of cartels and trusts.
 Generally the four powers will collect reparations from the zones they occupy.

Hamtramck Voters
Eve School Finances
'Lox and Irregular
Expenditures Charged

LANSING. Feb 27 - tsP,-
Attorney General John r. Deth-
mers agreed today 10 undertake
an investigation of the books Of
the Hamtramck school district
on petition of taxpayers of the
district who contend there is
reason 10 believe lax and ir-
regular expenditures have
been made from the districts
funds.
Dethmers said he is asking
Auditor General John D. Morri-
son to assign an assistant to
work with Harry w Jackson.
assistant Attorney General, in
the inquiry.
The attorney general said pc
titions requestion the investiga-
ton contained too few valid
signatures, but that supplement
tai petitions have been filed
with him so that the inquiry
can be undertaken with fun
statutory authority.
The daily monitor leader. [volume] (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1942-19??, 1945-02-27

raised the sum of S285,537.14
last year for city governmental
purposes, or approximately one
and three quarters times as
much as Mount Clemens! This
city has even less assessed valu-
alton than Mount Clemens, and
less population. City govern
ment in Birmingham costs its
taxpayers approximately $2595
per person, or nearly two and
one half times the cost to the
taxpayers in Mount Clemens!
The tax rate in Birmingham for
all purposes, city, county, and
schools, is $42.16 per thousand!
This is a city manager city and
has been one since 1918!
In figuring the cost of city
government per person to the
taxpayers in these communities,
we have used the 1910 Federal
Census flguTeS as 10 population.
These are three cities of COM
parable size in the Metropolitan
Area, and adjacent to Mount
Clemens, who have city mana
ger government! The figures as
to their costs of city govern
ment were obtained from the
1943-1944 annual report of the
Michigan State Tax Commission,
an unimpeachable source. Their
figures also disclose that out of
all the city manager cities hav-
ing an assessed valuation of be-
tween ten and twenty million
dollars, the taxpayers in Mount
Clemens pay less per person for
city government than any of
these city manager cities.
So, again we repeat, why
should we change forms of gov
eminent? Experience and rec
ords show that city manager
government is more expensive
government and will result in
increased taxes. This would be
done in Mount Clemens by in
creasing assessed valuations. In
these days when we are all
taxed so heavily for income
taxes, sales taxes, and countless
othe rburdens, do we want to
also vote for form of govern
ment which experience and rec
ords show will raise our city
taxes?
The daily monitor leader. [volume] (Mount Clemens, Mich.) 1942-19??, 1945-02-27
Against

Those who favor retention Oh
our Commission form of gov
eminent are accused of being
die-hards and alarmists. We
have reason to be! We will now
demonstrate with facts just why
we are alarmed. Let us look at
some facts and figures.
The City of Mount Clemens
last year raised from its tax
payers for all purposes of its
City Government, n | u d n 6
debt service, the sum Of Sl64,-
O69.84. We have an assessed val
uation of $15,496,5 $500. Our
total tax rate for all purposes,
city, county, and school pur-
poses, is $3.50 per thousand.
The taxpayers of Mount Glenn
ems pay approximately $lO.94
per person per year for its city
government.
Now let us compare these fig
ures with the cost to the tax
payers of city government in
some Of our neighboring COM
munities. of similar size which
have city manager forms of gov
eminent. These are the COM
munities city manager advocates
would have us copy. Each OF
them has been a city manager
city for at least twenty years.
/. FERN l. E. This city
raised the sumo of $4l0, 469.8l
last year for city governmental
purposes, or approximately two
and one half times as much as
Mount Clemens! 1t is a city OF
approximately the same size as
Mount Clemens, with only five
million dollars more assessed
valuation! City government in
Ferndale costs its taxpayers APP
proximately $18.65 per person,
or nearly double the cost to the
taxpayers in Mount Clemens.
The tax rate in Ferndale for all
purposes, city, county and
schools, is $44.60 per thousand!
This is a city manager city; and
has been one since 1924.
2. ROYAL OAK. This city
raised the sum of $573,275.36
last year for city governmental
purpos es, or approximately
three and one half times as
much as Mount Clemens This
city is slightly larger than
Mount Clemens, with approx
mately ten million dollars more
