With fifty or sixty present, the meeting was called to order by President Charles Thomas who then turned the meeting over to Mr. Ziegler. One of the first things that the speaker pointed out was the fact that the area proposed for annexation into the City of Detroit comprising the rest of Redford Township and the sec- tion of Livonia east of Middle - belt road was assessed at about 22 million dollars and that it would cost that much to put in the necessary sewers and roads. He doubted very much whether the City would take any action on the long range plan submitt- ed by the Planning Commission several months ago.

The lobbyists down in Wash- ington present a much different picture than that which actually exists. It is not a question of re- locating those displaced persons, but of allowing those to enter who will in the future contribute something rather than bringing a different doctrine of government, which' a great number will do." Another point he brought out was that our Immigration Laws should be humanized so that parents, wives and children of those already in the States may be able to' come immediately rather than to have to wait until their. number is reached in the quota.

Paul Engemann was re-elected treasurer of the Cooper School Board of Education for a three year term with a salary of three hundred dollars per year. The Board presented a plan to increase the millage one mill to help finance the lunch program for the next year. A motion was made by Peter Ventura, second- ed by Mr. Tappen, that the price of each individual lunch be raised to cover the cost of operation of the lunch program, to curtail un- necessary cost of operation, and to eliminate the''vote on the one mill plan of the Board of Educa- tion. The motion passed by a vote of 36 to 10. A general discussion was held on the cost to the District of high school tuition for its stu- dents. Last year $4,131.75 was Paid out and only $3,000 was col- lected from taxes to cover this item. It was estimated that about $66,000 will be needed next year and the School Board felt that seven mills would be needed on the basis of tax collections to cover tuition costs without using General Fund monies. Upon the recommendation of the Board a vote was taken to increase the millage 7 mills to covertuition of all high school students from the district. 31 were in favor of the increase and 23 opposed. A two-thirds majority is required and the proposal was defeated. A vote was then taken to in- crease the millage 6 mills for tuition purposes and this propsoal passed by a vote of 40 for and 13 not in favor. With the passing of this 6 mills it brings the Cooper School Dis- trict millage to 32 for the 1947-48 school_ year. 11 mills were passed a year ago for three years to buy a bus and for operation.

From 1926 until 1937, our rates went down substantially. Except for even further reduc- tions in local rates in a number of exchanges and decreases in toil rates; those 1937 rates are still in effect—despite the fact -that the cost of almost every- thing... wages, taxes, supplies ... has been going up. For example, post-war wage adjustments alone have boosted our costs nearly $11,000,000 a year, in- cluding settlements reached during the recent strike. Actually, all our costs put together have gone up much faster than our income. In the ten years since 1937, income has gone up 141%, costs have gone up 193% and our return on investment has dropped more than a third. It's just simple arithmetic that 1937 rates won't work in 1947. We've tried to make both ends meet without increasing fates. We've held off as long as pos- sible. But now, we've got to ask - for an increase — because it is absolutely necessary to protect our customers' service. It will take a lot of money from investors to give more service and better quality service from here on. Investors will put up the money only if they are assured a fair return, which we cannot provide under our present rates. So the future quality of Michigan's telephone service depends on raising rates enough to assure the financial stability of your telephone company. That's why we're going to ask the Michigan Public Service Commission* for a public hearing to review our proposed new schedule of rates. During the week of August 3, we'll publish details of th* *The body established by State law and appointed by the Governor to regulate utility rates. proposed rates throughout Michigan Bell territory. After that, we'll file the petition with the Public Service Commission. Telephone service will still be a bargain at the proposed rates. We'd rather not be asking for an increase. But that's the only way we can assure our customers the kind of service they want. For 1937 rates won't work in 1947. Where the term "Income" is used above, its meaning is the same as "Ren mue" or "Gross Income." When the term "Investment' is used, it means the original cost of the telephone property less the depreciation resew accrued against the ultimate retirement of the property.
