establishing a County Health
Unit certainly is a question oil
policy which will be decided by
the Board of Supervisors OF Ma
comb County, on which the city
has 5 votes out of 80, and not by
the City Manager, and whether
we do or do not have a City
Manager form of government
that question will be SO decided
and the efficiency thereof, II
established, will in no way be
dependent on the City Manager,
because he will have no control
whatever over it.
8. Port Huron already has the
approval of federal officials and
the State Planning Board of pre-
liminary plans for a sewage
treatment and garbage disposal
plant, and has already set aside
fund for its postwar building.
How advocates of City Mana
gership can claim that this Is an
accomplishment of the City
Manager form of government In
Port Huron Is beyond us. 1t took
court decision to force Port
Huron to get busy on sewage
disposal plants in spite Of the
fact that they had Manager.
But in Mount Clemens we not
only have the preliminary plans,
but the actual final plans for
sewage disposal plant are a II
nearly ready, and if the war
was over, financial arrange
ments could be made and the job
let within sixty days of the time
that materials are available.
Remember that in Port Huron
the man who has an assessment
of $4,000 on his home pays SIS
per year more to operate his
city government than does the
citizen of Mount Clemens, with
a home having the same assess
ment.
Good government is a matter
of men, not form.

Munneley Compares PIT: Huron
Mt. Clemens CITY Functions

I at least SIS per $1,000 more than
il is in Mount Clemens. DO you
want to pay an extra IS for the
privilege of getting into Port
HurOn's class? Does their town
compare favOrably or unfavor'
ably with Mount Clemens from
what you know Of 1t?
3. Port Huron has reduced
its bonded indebtedness from
$4,000 to 100000 since l94l
Mount Clemens has met every
payment due on its bonds during
the past ten years, and has called
all callable bonds. Its debt has
been reduced as fast as possible
and it would make no difference
whether you had a City Manager
or nOt-yOu could not pay the
debt before it was due. This debt
was mainly created about 1925
for the construction Of the pre-
sent highly efficient water
works. A City Manager could do
no more.
4. Port Huron has an expend-
ed recreation and parks program
on an all-year-round and full
time basis.
We do not know from what
Port Huron has expanded, but
this community has set up a
bathing beach and has its parks,
in addition to which we do have
a year-round recreation pro-
gram, although the director is
not on a full time basis but only
on a part-time basis, due per-
haps to the fact that Mount
Clemens Is not nearly as large
a town as Port Huron.
5. Port Huron guarantees
neighboring townships fire pro-
lection, reducing the townships
insurance rates, and bringing in
substantial revenue to Port
Huron for this service.
For many years Mount Glenn
ems has had a cooperative and
mutually advantageous arrange
ment for fire protection with the
neighboring Township of Harri-
son. We do not have such an ar
rangement with Clinton Town
ship for the reason that the gov
eminent of Clinton Township
has at all times declined to enter
into any reasonable arrangement
for such protection.
6. In Port Huron the schools
now have a mills tax levy to
operate on, compared to Ia
mills in 1941.
In Mount Clemens the schools
have a 3 mill tax levy to operate
on as against a lesser amount in

Mt. Clemens City Attorney
A recent issue of the Monitor
Leader contained an article re-
lative to a report made by Leon
ard G.. Howell, Port Huron City
Manager, at a meeting of the
League of Women Voters, at
which Mr.. Howell explained
what he claimed had been &C
complished in Port Huron since
City Manager government came
into effect.
Advocates Of City Manager
for Mount Clemens have since
pointed TO these claimed achieve
ments as something wonderful
In the way of indicating the ef-
ficiency Of the City Manager
form of government. In order
that the voters may judge for
themselves as to the relative eff
ficiency of the governments in
these two places, l have made
the following comparison be-
tween Mount Clemens and Port
Huron, using the very same sub
jects and items which the City
Manager of Port Huron claimed
had been accomplished by him

ments of the Port Huron City
Manager are

a pension plan for city employ
ees because some of them are not
covered by social security.
Mount Clemens already has a
pension plan for firemen and
policemen, and the commission
now preparing a new charter has
already unanimously agreed that
further proper provisions for
pensions shall be incorporated
therein.
2. Port Huron has reduced
its tax rate 81 per $1,000, despite
a greater lumber of employees
now than in 1941 when the man.
ager form went into operation,
despite 264 per cent increase
in salary to some Of the city en-
ployees, and despite the rise in
cost of labor from so cents in
194l to 80 cents per hour now.
We have not reduced our OPP
Grating tax rate, which Is fixed
by the City Charter at a maxi
mum of $3.50 per $1,000, but we
have operated on that amount,
whereas in Port Huron the tax
rate is now S13.94 per $1,000, of
which Mr.. Howell informed the
writer at least $3.50 was Oper-
ating. In other words, the Oper-
ating tax rate in Port Huron is

NEW DELHI, July 1o.-P)-Jap-
anese forces are Withdrawing 50

cantage point suggests that a hard
pressed Allied campaign during
the coming fall and winter would
recover the entire area.
Already the Japanese appear to

through which garrisons in French
Indo-China could have escaped. In

by Australians and Americans. Ad-
miral Lord Louis Mountbatten's
southeast Asia command has been
assigned the task of reconquering
|Sumatra and Malaga and Singa-
pore at the tip of the Peninsula.
The japanese withdrawal at the
moment is extending over far
greater area than the German re-
treat in the central European bas-
ton and means that perhaps with
in six months vast areas long
under japanese domination may
have an opportunity to begin 4 RE-

The whole aim of the Japanese
Asiatic compaign seems directed
toward concentrating their major
forces in the area north Of the
Standardization line. Both these
cities are certainly included in the
defense area. but southern China,
save for the Canton-Hongkong
area, evidently already is being
evacuted.

Crushing Last Nazi

LONDON, May 14.-The last
small pockets of German die
hard resistance in Czechoslo-
vakia and Austria were being
overrun by four Russian Armies
today as the Moscow radio an
nounced the rounding up of
100000 additional Nazi troops in
the last "a hours.
Five days after fanatical German
troops refused to lay down their
arms and continued to fight against
the Red Army. Moscow declared
that troops of the 1st, I'd, Sd and 4th
Ukrainian Armies had closed in on
Nazi positions in Austria's Alpine
regions and the woods of Czecho-
slovakia and were clearing the oc-
cupied area of isolated German
troop groupings" 1t appeared the
mopping up was almost complete.
Thousands Shipped to Russia.
The Russian announced that the
total number of Germans captured
since Tuesday had swelled to l.
060,o00, boosting to 2,860000 the
number killed or captured since the
final Russian drive began on jan
uary II. and to 12,600 900 the num-
Der killed or captured in nearly
four years of war, according to
Soviet count.
German captives were being
rapidly corralled into prisoner
camps to join thousands of their
comrades being shipped across
Poland to be put to work restoring
Russia's war-damaged cities.
In the last day of the roundup in
Czechoslovakia and Austria, Moscow
revealed that equipment relinquish-
ed by the Germans included 1883
planes, 1872 tanks and 6,618 field
guns.
The German forces which had re-
sisted the Russians in violation of
unconditional surrender terms were
commanded by Field Marshal Gen
Ferdinand Schoerner and Col Gen
Otto Woehler, but neither officer
was reported to be among Nazis
seized. The Russians have named
Schoerner war criminal.
