AM, SEND YOUR NEWS TO THE LIVONIAN EVERY WEEK :Arthur Jenkins, Editor Wedneaday, December 25, 1949 Vol. 7, No. 44 Goodfellows Sell $870 Worth Of Share your Luck With Christmas only three days away, the Livonia Goodfellows have received donations totaling over $870 and they have high hopes that the total will run over $1,'0'0'0'• The Goodfellows have names of 100 families in the Township who are in need 'of assistance this -Christmas. Baskets of gro- ceries, orders for clothing and toys will be given these families. Also toys turned over to the Goodfellows by the Rotary Club Will be distributed. The following is a list of the men and women whjo were in- strumental in soliciting donations Saturday, December 11. Harry E. Wolfe, Ed Dipoye, Walter Schlunz, E. Mason, C. Wolfram, Don Spicer, Warren Pellot, William Taylor Carl Knapp, Harold Hoppe, Harry :S. Wolfe, Gerald Ziegler, Louis LeBar, Vic DeWulf, Don Wolfe, Pete Boussneur, Rudy Klinert, -Forest Bunker, H. T. Valiance, Ed Schaffer Ed Zopff, Louise Humpert, Austin Ault, William Newstead, Fred Burns and Mrs. Clyde Carey. Top solicitors were Everett Mason with $45.80, Harold Hoppe with $48:15 and Mrs. Clyde -Carey $47:60. Don Wolfe and Pete Bous- sneur, a couple of youngsters turned in $32.15 and they de- serve congratulations for this fine piece of work on their part. Along with the rest of Wayne County, Livonia ballots were rechecked Wednesday afternoon, December 18 at the official re- count proceedings at the Wayne County Building. The ballots were delivered Tuesday by William Newstead Township Officer, however the ballots were not recounted until Wednesday afternoon' and this was done in the presence of Har- ry S. Wolfe and Juanita Schurrer. All the ballots were initialed and the count for McNally and O'Brien for Wayne County Pro- secutor was not changed. The mystery is where and. 'how did the extra ballot get in the ballot box- 759 voters in precinct three voted, but there was one spoiled ballot and -one that can not me accounted for by the election board. Someone in Livonia ownship in precinct three really wanted his party to win and voted twice. The apparent answer to the mys- tery seems to :be that two ballots stuck together. Mother's Club Enjoy Party The Clarenceviile Band Boost- ers Mother's Club held their an- nual Christmas party Tuesday, December 17 at the Horton home on Inkster road. Pot luck supper was enjoyed by all present. Instead of ex- changing gifts, the usual proce- ure, traveling bingo was played and this caused much excitment and fun. Other games were also .played and prizes awarder the winners. First prize went to Mrs. Bor- land. second to Mrs. Hoppe and the house prize was won by the hostess Mrs. Horton. The ladies all agreed that it was a very en- joyable evening. BULLETIN As the Livonian goes to press, a report was received that Rich- ard Gaston was instantly killed Monday noon in an automobile accident at Rowell, Mrs. Gaston was critically injured. Their daughter Sandra was uninjured. The Gastons were returning home from the weekend at Ludington. The Liuonian Washes You A Merry erry Ch`_istmas Syd Weinberg Files Suit against Writ of Mandamus to Force Township To Issue Building Permit for Moving of Barn Syd Weinberg, owner or -the Morton Stables at 16035 Harrison road filed suit in the Circuit Court December 1,6 against Everett Mason, Livonia Township Build- ing Inspector, the Township .of Livonia and the Zoning Board of Appeals with Circuit Court Judge Theodore J. Richter signing the writ. This Writ of Mandamus orders the Township to issue a building permit to Syd Weinberg to move a barn from his father's , .Sam Weinberg, property and attach this ;building to an already exist- ing building. The building was moved in the fall and the Zon- ing Board of Appeals had order- ed Mr. Weinnberg to tear it down by December 3. The Township intends to appeal the order and will go into the Circuit Court January 3. Accord- ing, to the Mandamus the order to tear the building down is G. gross abuse of the discreation vested in the Appeal Board. Thursday evening both the Ap- peal Board and the Zoning Board met at the Township Hall the latter for the regular monthly meeting and the former for a spe- cial meeting. The first petition, taken up by the Zoning Board was one sub- mitted by Mr. Weinberg to change approximately 19 acres of his property located west of Harrison, south of Terrence, north of Broad- moor and east of Alexander from an -AIG -IC classification to an M-2 2heavy industry) classification. An M-2 classification permits fat rendering, slaughter- houses, fertilizing manfacturing, ' junk yards, tanning, glue manufactur- ing, stock yards, refining and many other uses not prohibited by the Zoning Ordinances. A :public hearing will be held in January on all petitions. A second petition signed by twelve signatures was presented by Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Bandy requesting that the property located on the north side of Five Mile road between Foch and Deering be changed to a C-1 (commercial) classification. The Zoning Board decided to extend the C-1 to Greenlane another block east. Mr, and Mrs. Arthur Walker petitioned to change the classifi- cation often acres at 17:930 Farm- ington road from an A -G -1B to A-G2B to permit them to have a Stable and keep forty horses. They .are to be notified by letter that this change in classification would not allow them to have the sta- ble. It was appealed to the Ap- peal Board and was in turn deni- ed. Action was taken on a letter from the School Board which requested that the Building In- spector not issue any building permits for building on the school site in that the Board of Educa- tion was preparing to start con- demnation proceedings. Accord- ing to the Zoning Ordinance the Building Inspector must issue building permits, however pro- spective builders will be notified of the condemnation proceedings. The Zoning, Board in their letter to the School Board went on record in favor of keeping the property along Five Mile road for residential and 'business because of the potential tax revenue which is needed both by the Township and the schools. Rotarians Turn. $121 Over To Goodfellows Monday non at the Pen Mar, the Rotary Club had the good fortune to hear the Plymouth Women's Club Glee Club sing and it truly was one of the high lights of the season. Following,' the Club members all brougt gifts which were auc- tioned off to the members by George Smith and Harry Robin- son, Plymouth Rotarians. Over $121 was turned over the Liv- onia Goodfellows for their fund to spread Christmas cheer in Liv= onia. The gifts. were also given to the Goodfellows for distribu- tion on Christmas Eve. Wayne County Is Chief Problem In 1.B, Control "Wayne County is today Michi- gan's chief problem in tuber- culosis control" according to a recent report from the State De- partrnent of Health at Lansing, which has caused much concern to -members of the health depart- ments and other agencies inter- ested in the welfare of the peo- ple of this. county. A mobile X-ray unit has been used this year offering free chest X-rays to all persons in the coun- ty so that tuberculosis could be discovered in an early stage of de- velopment. This contagious dis- ease is much more easily :cured if found early. If all the people will'make use of these facilities, tuberculosis can be completely wiped out, The Wayne County Health De- partment located at Henry Ruff Road and Michigan avenue, which is under the direction of Dr. David Littlejohn, provides these facilities through the Depart- ment's Tuberculosis Control Di- vision, of which Dr. Stephen K. Molnar is director. In 1947 the State Health Depart- ment will make available a trail- er X-ray unit which will be used to render X-ray service to In- dustries, Communities, and the 9th and 12th grades in schools. The chest X-ray survey will .be, gin approximately on January 13 in Trenton. A complete schedule will be available shortly. Your local newspaper will be given the date at which time the x-ray unit will !be in your locality to serve you and your family. Remember that only through the concerted efforts of everone in Wayne Coun- ty can :we rid ourselves of the threat of tuberculosis.

The table was beautifully set with a white cloth, Christmas greens and red candles and finish- ed with some red glass plates which added to the charm of the table. The lunch was served smorgasbord style. This was a lovely party and the committee is to be congraula- ed on such a nice evening.

The assessed valuation for Liv- onia in 1946 is $10,121,825 with the tax roll running $291,409.18. Statements were sent out Dec- ember 11, however some brave individuals vent over to the Tnwn-hin nffires on Fives Mile road and paid theirs before the official mailing. Both the Livonia and the Farm- ington ,phones were very, very busy the first week at which time the Township Treasurer was given the opportunity to explain "why the taxes were so high." According to the latest reports phone calls have eased up some- what. Mrs. John Martin has been se- cured to help Carl Wagenschutz with the tax collections and Mrs. Luella partridge is on a part time basis. In 1945 the tax roll was $222,026.23 a n d of this amount $31,389 was delinquent. Of this 1946 tax roll the Liv- onia Schools are to receive $249,- 015.89, the Cooper District $11,- 220.68, Far in i n g t o n fractional $906.69, Clarenceville fractional number 5 $29,833.04 and fraction- al number 6, Northville, $432.86.

Some "IFS" in the Sales Tax Diversion Amendment Examples: Amandment takes effect on December 5. There is considerable difference of opinion concerning the me- thods that will be used to distribute the extra state aid provided for in the sales tax amendmen. The purpose of his bulletin is to point out some of these differences. 1. There are two parts to the amendmet. a. The first part (1/6 of the Sales Tax is clear enough as to the amount of money involved, however, when remittances are to .be made will determine the amount which will be available .for schools this fiscal year. (December collections, 25-31 month) Pa in (January ) y March (February Alternate 1. (March ) Pay in June (April ) (May ) (Month of December as the 1st Quarter—Pay in January (January ) February ) Second Quarter Alternate (March ) (April ) Not available (May ) for this years (June ) business b. The second part of the amendment may need a Supreme Court interpretation and some enabling legislation.. Some variable factors are: (1) Will it be necessary for the legislature to meet an- nually? Under the constitution they now meet bian- nually—unless a special session is called by the gov- vernor. (2) Does the state school grant for 1945-46 include: —State grants for special education —rural agricultural schools —vocational education —Visiting teachers —adult education —county normals —junior colleges or does it include 'only, the state school aid as :provided in Aot No. 39 of the P. A. of 1941 as amended?. (3) Is the state appropriation for 1945.46, $63;;000,000 less the P;primary school interest fund? (4) Is the $3,200;000 for, the Michigan Public School Em- ployees Fund apart of state aid? (5) Is that portion of the salaries of county school com- missioners now paid by the state to be included? 2. What are the possible returns to schools this year in addition to the present state school aid and the primary school inter- est fund? (Estimated $140,000,000 collection) a. December 5 to June 30—$9.38 census child. This .plan is impossible, because the collections for June would not be available until July,— after the fiscal year ends. b. If the quarterly payment is for December, January and receive before June 20, about $8.00/ census child. (Alteration the second payment for March, April, and May schools would Now 1 page 1) C. If the first payment period is December, and the second quarter January, February and March then schools would get about $•5.30 per census child. 3. What are the ;possible returns to schools next year in addi- tion to the present stat school aid and the primary school interest fund? (Estimated $740,000,000 collection) a. 42.64% 59,696,00-0 b. Primary S. I. F. 18,500,000 C. 1/6 of sales tax 23,333,000 Total 104,529,000 d. Amount received this year 60,000,000 4. Net gain 41,000,000 Divide by 1,000,000—number of children in :public schools— $41.50 per average membership. e. Note: These computation are based on the assumption that the present formula remains the same and with no amount taken for :building etc. f. If the formula remains the same and the 1/6 sales tax distribution is not included in formula then the amount of in- crease per school would be $18:00 per average membership. 59,69,6,000 Minus 41,500,000 18,196,0,00 divided by 1;000,0100—$1.8.010, and in addition 1/6 of 23,333;0,00 sales tax 16.50 divided by 1,410,000 census :Some areas that need to be watched which may effect the over all receipts of the district: a. •Should the state resort to a property tax, it would have to come out of.the present 15 mill tax. b. The County Allocation Board has shown a tendency to allocate more and more to the county and township out of the 15 mills at the expense of the schools. The agency may be tempted to carry this .practice to further extremes, c. Present school law permits receiving high school districts to charge 25 percent above actual maintenance and operat- ing cost less $113.50. School costs per pupil have increased and will increase this year. Example Year H.S. Cost Excess Rate Cost L.T. 1944-45 1,10:54 13.62 15% 5016. 1945-46 116.56 32.20 25% 10735 1946-47 137.25 58.06 25% 18623 1947-48 160.00 76.50 25% 16000 Among legislature, -school employees, taxpayers and :parents there is considerable difference in opinion as to how the money should be used. Here are a few reactions: a. The increase should be used for salaries. only. b. It should be used to improve the entire education program and should include: (1) Better trained personal. (2) :Salary increase. (3) Adequate, sanitary, safe and healthy school -buildings and lighting. (4) Smaller class loads, and (5) Labatory-instructional-library facilities more and (6) Better textbooks and supplies. (7) A diversified program to meet the needs of all boys and girls. (Music, art, physical fitness etc) c. The state should set aside 15 to20 million dollars for a building program to be distributed according to needs and ability and the balance to be used for operation and main- tenance including salaries, d. It should be used for maintenance and operation (includ- ing salaryincreased) only and nothing for building.

Just so we tt'imrred the Christ- mas tree when this old house was new. I hear again in memory those voices young and true. Up stairs our happy children slept a girl and three small boys. While we our Christmas vigil kept they dreamed of dolls and toys. We hung a star upon the tip of the -bespangled fir and heard Upon the songster's lip, words of the comforter. The hour of carols come again I trim my little tree, while through the closed door drifts a strain from days that used to be. My candle burned, and in the street they saw its bright beams glow, and brought me carols to keep sweet The dreams of long ago.
