Npsilanti's claim to beauty must
be protected. 1t was decided Mon.

were made for the planting OF

nished by property owners. The
trees must be state inspected and
approved by the park commission.
Such varieties as box elders or
poplars will not be accepted. Ma.
pies or elms were recommended by
council members.
After the planting the property
owner will be expected to care for
the trees.
During The past year Si,262 Sc has
been spent In trimming and remov-
ing trees. with removal Of stumps
II is estimated that cost Of removal
per tree Is $50.
Several aldermen expressed the
view that funds should be set aside
in the next budget for purchase and
planting OF trees in the fall.
In the meantime 1t was felt the
plan for residents to furnish their
own trees would help meet the
situation.

Hearings have been set for April
l6 on number OF city improve
ments.
On that date city council will
meet to hear objections TO building
a 10 inch storm sewer on S. River

sewer is designed TO relieve a situa-

Another proposed Improvement
TO be considered on that date is re-
placement OF a private sanitary

sewer is so inadequate that base

Two Freed IN
Staying Case

Charles Miracle and Boyd
Greene, charged with the fatal
stabbing of Eugene Wilson at the
Wizard Cabins, January 49, were ac-
quilted in circuit court at lO:i5 r.
m. today The jury had deliberated
eight hours before reaching de
cision. It was composed OF three
women and nine men.
Mr.. Wilson bled to death follow
ing a knitting during drinking
party AZ the cabin in which he and
Miracle roomed. Greene, cousin
OF Wilson, who with his wife, at
tended the party. claimed that an
argument started between Miracle
and Wilson and despite Greenc's
efforts it terminated in knife
duel in which Wilson fell, the art
cry in his left leg severed. The
fight took place 80 feet from the
door Of the cabin. Miracle claimed
he did not remember about the
fight.
The strangest fact OF the killing,
was that the knife which was GOV.
cred with Wilson's blood belonged
TO Greene. whereas Miracles knife
was clean
Two lapses OF time were never
satisfactorily explained. One was
the few minutes from the time the
men, with Mrs. Cynthia Greene
went outside just before the knife
play and the moment Wilson fell
During this time Miracle claimed
he started away not knowing that
Wilson was injured and turned
back to see Wilson lying in the
snow. Greene could not throw any
light on the events OF these few
minutes,
The second lapse was that which
occurred between the time that
Greene, having sent his wife nome
TO the village. went to the rcstau'
rant near the corner Of Wizard. Rd.
and Michigan Ave, and bought a
coke. He then disappeared, &C
cording TO witnesses at the time OF
the investigation, and did net re
turn 10 call the sheriff's department
for at least fifteen minutes. The
sheriffs deputies from the Willow
Village found Wilson dead, and
growing cold. Apparently the man
had been dying when Greene went
TO the restaurant the first time.
E II was a medical fact, that either
OF the others. or Wilson himself,
could have saved his life by tying
tourniquet about his leg.

wish. may continue to price their
