HomeMy WebLinkAboutLivonian1942_0311Voters Petition to -MJ& W W = As A A—& AIN Submit Building Code Question at Election j A proposal for the regulation of the construction of buildings on plats or subdivisions in Livonia township by the township board will be offered on the April 6 ballot in the general spring elec- tion. A petition signed by 125 qualified electors of the town- ship was presented to the town- ship board at its meeting last Monday evening requesting that the question be placed on the ballot for the approval of the voters. The proposal will read as fol- lows: "Shall Act Number 324 of Public Acts of 1931, providing for the regulation by the Town- ship Board of the construction of buildings on plats or subdivisions in the Township, be adopted by this Township?" Enactment of the proposal will permit the establishment of a building code which is not pro- vided in a zoning ordinance. The voters of Livonia township, authorized the drafting of a zoning ordinance in last spring's general election and the enact- ment of the zoning ordinance for the township is pending com- pletion of public hearings throughout all township districts. The effect of a zoning ordin- ance, it is explained by -Super- visor Jesse Ziegler, is to restrict the location of various types of residential, commercial and in- dustrial buildings, but the pro- posed building code act will re- strict the class of homes within certain districts and provide fur- ther protection to present prop- erty values. If the proposal is adopted, building plans will be submitted to the township board for approval before construction is started, and a building - in- spector will issue building per- mits. This will also provide a record of building activity in the township and aid in making up the annual assessment rolls.

Postal authorities are being told of the confusion which now results from the present service which come from 10 different mail routes and is delivered by six different postoffices. The sys- tem is operated today as it was when the township population was only 3,200 and since there are now__ over 10,000 people re- siding within t h e township limits it becomes almost an im- possibility to obtain their mailing addresses.

Township Reports Measles Epidemic Health Officer Warns Of General Symptoms A general epidemic of three- day or German measles through- out the township is reported by Dr. L. M. Hotchkiss, Livonia health officer. More than 40 cases have been reported to the health officer in the past three weeks and it is estimated that there are as many cases unreported. "This type of measles, though contagious, is not as serious as red measles," -advises Dr. Hotch- kiss, "but they can be easily con- fused with several other more serious diseases including the red measles and scarlet fever. To in- sure proper diagnosis and treat- ment, parents should take ailing children to their family doctor." The symptoms of the three- day measles are fever, rash and lumps behind the ears, according to the health officer. Though the illness is considered a "nuisance" disease, all cases should be re- ported, for the present epidemic exceeds the normal average of cases. There are a few cases of mumps and chicken pox in the township, not above the aver- age; and no cases of scarlet fever now under quarantine. The Clarenceville school at Eight Mile road which has been closed during the past two weeks because of the epidemic of meas- les re -opened Monday on regular class schedule.

THERE'S A Funeral ..Directors Ambulance on Call Phone 781W Plymouth, Mich. 280 S. Main Mention The Livonian when answering advertisements This war is being fought with resources as well as with men. Every pound of vital materials that can be conserved for weapons and munitions is another step on the road to Victory. About the time the war began in Europe, Bell System engineers were start- ing to use the "K" carrier system — a new telephone development which now is saving large quantities of copper for use in implements of war. 7n operation, the "K" carrier system enables two pairs of wires in parallel FICT RY! cables to carry as many as twelve separate conversations at the same time! "K" carrier is helping Michigan Bell handle more Long Distance calls with fewer wires—making an important saving in copper. Even with the help of research and inven- tion, increasing shortages of materials make it difficult to satisfy service demands as promptly as in the past. But we are confidently determined that every war need will be met. MICHIGAN BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY STRIKE A BLOW FOR AMERICA—Bur DEFENSE BONDS AND STAMPS!

Twenty years ago, the figure was 6.13 cents. Electricity is 46 per cent cheaper today. Your electric service is so commonplace a thing — such an accepted part of our daily life — that most of us take it for granted. When you push a button on your wall to turn on your lights, when you flip a switch to operate your washer or iron or vacuum cleaner or any of the dozen -and -one other electric helpers in your home, you expect service instantly... and you get it. Yet few people think of what lies back of the switch to make this service possible -- the far-flung organization, the tremendous investment in power plants and lines and substations, the thousands of employes whose combined endeavor is directed toward bringing you a service so dependable that you need never give it a thought. Here truly is the magic of elec- tricity at your fingertips! What makes electricity cheaper? Keeping everlastingly at it—thinking up new ways of doing things better and at lower cost—then passing the savings on to our cus- iomers. The thousands of improvements, big and little, which have been made year by year have permitted us to reduce our rates voluntarily .. , not once or twice but many times—whenever earnings justified it. That is the way of progress. The Detroit Edison Company. 0 pate 10 THE LIVONIAN Wednesday, March 11, 1942_ It's your last. chance. to buy many of these articles .. .
