CONSOLIDATION

Il Departmental funds in the city
would be consolidated into a general
fund under this proposal. 1t is
nothing more than a sound change
in accounting procedure.
1t is proposal "F" and we urge
YES" vote.
These seven proposals merit your
careful consideration.
The voter who makes a snap
judgment on such questions while
chewing the end of his pencil in the
voting booth is not doing his job as
a citizen.
Think about the issues involved.
Talk them over with your friends.
Above all, decide how you are going
to vote on these questions BEFORE
you go to the polls tomorrow.

TRAFFIC COURT CIVIL
Il SERVICE

The employees of traffic court
would be "blanketed" in their pres
ent jobs without taking examina-
tions. However, this has usually
been the case where new civil service
systems are set up.
The proposal has the approval of
the various good government agen-
cies and it appears to be step in
the right direction.
1t is proposal &c" and we sug-
gest "YES" vote.

l. Special assessments could be
levied against property for park,
playground, parking lot, and recrea-
tional projects under this suggested
charter amendment.
The city plan commission has
sponsored this and asks for it's
adoption. 1t would permit local
neighborhood groups to obtain pub
lie parks and other improvements
with the cost levied against the prop
erty directly benefited.
For example group of mer-
chants in an outlying shopping center
could obtain and pay for a public
parking lot that would benefit their
business.
The proposal is opposed by many
taxpayers who feel that there has
been great unfairness in the past in
the levying of special assessments for
street widenings and paving.
This is a controversial measure
with much to be said both for and
against.
However, if the common council
exercises caution in the use of it's
powers, this amendment could result
in the prompt acquisition of some
much needed public improvements.
This is proposition "E" and we
suggest YES vote.

IDERGROUND GARAGE

- The 1000 car underground
parking garage would be constructed
on two levels below the surface of
Washington Blvd. between Grand
Circus Park and Grand River.
The 100000 bond issue re-
quired would NOT be a general
obligation of the city but would be
retired out of revenue.
The downtown business area is
urgently in need of greatly expanded
parking facilities. A similar project
is proven success in San Francisco.
This is proposition &c" on the
ballot. We urge a YES vote.

DENSION CHANGES

l. Twelve changes in the general
city employees retirement system are
proposed in this charter amendment.
Some of the changes are minor in
character and the others provide for
small increases in certain pension
payments, particularly for nonduty
disabilities.
All the changes are in line with
the best practices of pension systems
in other cities, and the city controller
has given assurances that none of
the increased payments will en-
danger the solvency of the system.

~ City employees are asking the
voters to set up death benefit and
disqualification plan for them under
this charter amendment.
The plan would cost the tax
payers approximately S5000O0 an

include firemen, policemen, DSR or

In view of the present high tax

Buying Off Pressure
These DaysbMv e gEo In 9s yozonsH2

Apparently the Government OF
the United States. in both its do.
nestle and foreign policies. has but
single idea-spend away the
wealth OF the nation. Abroad. we
pursue a technique of appease-
ment. so that when the policies OF
this country differ from the policies
OF any other country, we offer cash
on the line. At home IL is the
same Whenever a pressure group
becomes too forceful. IL Is offered
a cash payment. Practically every
body that counts In Washington.
including the President OF the
United States, has made public
statements which, when translated
into economic terms. give the i'm
preston of a sound, business-like
desire for speedy reconversion
without impoverishing the nation.
Yet, in public action. many OF
these same men, including the
President OF the United States, pro-
pose measures which must result In
continued loss to the value OF
the American dollar.
Let US look at few figures:
In 1871. Federal Government ex-
penditures amounted to s13.s00, 000.-
600 in 1916. to s9S. ,00O,0 900. True
this includes war expenditures. bur
the money was spent for whatever
purpose. In 1871, the Federal Gov
eminent took from the American
peoplO as revenue S7700,00O,00
in 1915, 1t took $4,000, 900, 900. The
difference between expenditures
and revenue was made up by Dor
rowing. In 194l, the debt OF the
Government OF the United States
was s55,3e0, 100000; in 1s45, that
debt amounted to $4,000. 200, 900.
