Phone Plymouth 16 Vol. 6, No. 29 Wednesday, September 5, 1945 New Zoning Law Is About Ready For Township Board Livonia Township's third and fi- nal public" zoning hearing was held last Thursday night at St. Michael's Parish Hall. Fortunately the session was not as stormy as were the two previous, especially the second one. Now with the hearings complet- ed the four -man zoning 'board and planning commission of Livonia, headed by Carson W. Johnston, expect to have a new zoning law written and ready to submit to the township board within 30 days. Much of the opposition to the proposed new zoning regulations stems from the ignorance of an undesirable element which has come to Livonia the last four ,years, officials believe. Residents who are interested in making Livonia an attractive and respected community of unlimited possibilities with a rosy future for them and their children and their grandchildren are in full accord -with the move to secure . a new zoning law.

Isbell, William P. Fenske and George' M. Bentley. They will be counseled by W. C. Johnson, a consulting en- gineer, and John Ambrose, at- torney-at-law. !Some of those opposed to hav- ing a new zoning law :written and submitted to the township board for adoption have threatened to take action for a general vote of of tre township on the measure. Sig,lh an election would be wel- comed. according to the township '-oard. They claim to have enough nroponents of the measure in the area to give them a 4 to ima- jority if the issue is taken to the polls. The main idea back ;of the board's proposal for a new zoning law is simple. With boom days predicted there is bound to be an increase in -building in Livonia. Many persons are planning homes here and Detroit firms are seeking factory sites. It would not be logical for the township to ignore the inevitable. By asking for a new ordinance regulating building they are laying the foun- dation for a city that will be free of the glaring blunders now caus- ing so much discontent in Detroit and other Michigan cities. "We don't want the area so loosely run, commented 'Mr. John- ston, that somebody will open a riding stable next to a funeral home or private residence. We do not want some crank in a resi- dential district to 'start keeping pigs under his neigh'bor's -bedroom window. Or a factory with obnoxi- ous odors to build within a few yards of theatres, stores and bowl- ing alleys. The new law will be designed with an eye to keeping different categories in separate districts. Businesses such as genextl stores theaters, bowling alleys and com- mission houses will be in one district. Light and heavy manufactur- ing will be separated. The area on both sides of the Pere Marquette right-of-way, running directly through the township, will be designated as 'building sites for factories. Restrictions to 'be placed on new residences will vary. They will follow as closely as ^ ssible the values of present homes in the many Livonia subdivisions. They will be divided into three classifications. Persons wishing to build in residential districts la- beled A must agree to erect homes of not less than 1;000 square feet. Those building in B districts will be required to construct residen- ces 'of at least 800 square feet. In districts classed as C the new homes will have to be not less than 576 square feet. Permits to keep chickens or livestock will be allowed accord- ing to the size of the property. Owners of small lots could not expect to be granted the right to raise chickens. Those with' large lots would have to meet certain requirements - before they could get such permits. Ira Rowell, of 28,820 Joy road. Livonia,'has been granted a permit by the township board to con- struct and operate a garage at that address. Mr. Rowell blas, twelve acres at that address with 400 feet -of frontage. Because of the large amount of frontage the board decided the garage •would. not be injurious to the commun- ity. Achievement Day Is Successful The Wayne County 4-11 Sum- mer Achievement Day held at the Wayne 'Park Recreation Center proved to be very successful. Al- though gardens were unusually late this season the children per- formed splendidly with them and entered 93 garden !baskets for dis- play. Among the ten chosen as having the 'best baskets were Jean. Tuck, Barbara Daniels; Inez Daniels and Mary Martin, of Livonia Center. They will enter their exhibits this week in the State Club Show at Michigan State College. Winers in the contests and races which were part of the day's pro- gram included Jean Tuck, of Li- vonia Center, who won the wheel- barrow rack. Mrs. Daniels, of Li- vonia iCenter, was judged the ,best of the women 4-H Club leaders. Garage Given Board Approval Edward Schultz, of 10039 Ca- vell, Livonia, was reported to the township board by the building inspector, Ray Owens, for build- ing a garage on his property two feet from the side lot line without a permit. Mr. Schultz appeared before the board and pleaded that the contractor had erected the garage before. he realized he was com- mitting a violation by not having obtained a permit. Mr. Owens admitted that the garage was not close, enough to the adioining property to injure it as the lot is 65 feet wide. The board then instructed Mr. Owens to grant Mr. Schultz a permit without imposing a penalty. — 7k New Bus Added Vor Children Livonia school children will not be required to get up so early this year 'because another bus has been added by the board of edu- cation. ,Although this addition will improve the school transpor- tation service considerably it still is not entirely satisfying to the school board. It will, however, eliminate ex- treme early rising for the students as the first pickup has-been set back to 7:40 a.m. (twenty min- utes to eight). Last year the first pickup was made at 7:20 a.m. Buses 2 and 3 -will begin their schedules at 7:40 a.m. while bus number four will make its first pickup at 8:06. Bus number five will start its schedule at 7:50 a.m. (ten minutes to eight). All buses will travel over the same routes as last year. , Page Two THE LIVONIAN Wednesday, September 5, 1945 w ■ ■ ■ The first is for Peach Crunch to a meat latter These are easily, - Specialist Gives Cake: Cream together 1/4 cup each of shortening and light corn syrup.

In last week's story from that department asking co-operation from the parents in making the "summer health roundup pro- gram" a success, mention of "free" vaccination was inadvert- ently made. The department wishes to cor- rect that to read "re -vaccination against smallmox." Dr. David Litlejohn, director of the Wayne County Health De- p-rtment, recommends that chil- dren who have not been protect- ed against those communicable di- seases for which safe and reliable methods are available, should be so protected novo. In speaking of "re -vaccination" he has in mind those children wno were immunized in infancy and should be given additional treatment at this time to insure a continuation of their immunity. ,Mrs. Perkins and Mrs. French will attend a luncheon 'Septem- ber 12, at the Goodwill Industries Building to discuss plans for the I Christmas Greens market.

Or an electric clock? Or a washer? I understand they're being made again. And I've seen them advertised in the magazines." Here are the facts about the electric appliance situation. Manu- facturers are resuming production of a limited number of appliances. Until they can reconvert their plants to full peacetime operation, the number built during the first few months will be small. The demand will far exceed the supply. At least at first, what appliances are available will be spread so thin among the various appliance dealers that there will be very few on any one dealer's shelves. It may be a year before the supply is plen• tiful—perhaps longer. The first appliances released by manu- facturers will go to department stores, hardware stores, home appliance shops, etc.—dealers whose very existence depends upon the sale of merchandise. The Detroit Edison Company— because it handles appliances only incidentally to its principal business of selling electric service—will be among the last to get them. Our policy Las always been "See your dealer first." Until the dealers' shelves are stocked, we shall have very f ezr electric appliances for sale. Please remember that your dealer's supply will be short. He is anxious to sell you the appliances you want, but he can obtain no more than his limited allotment. We are equally anxious to have electric appliances once more available for all who want them. We hope the time may not be too far off. THE DETROIT EDISON CO. Your dealer will be glad to give you helpful information about the particular appliance you want, and answer any questions you may have. When new electric appliances are again avail- able, he will help you select the model to fit your needs.
