Page 426
Members of Council
City of Livonia
; .: For more than three months your Defense Area Committee has
been making a study of the almost miraculous growth of the City of
Livonia and the problems brought about by the advent of new defense
industry and the increase in our population together with an attempt
to peer into the future
Frankly, the problems which are not of our own making are of
such a serious nature that your committee feels that many of them can
not be solved to any degree of satisfaction unless some means is found
of obtaining government support -- either by loan or an outright grant.
Your committee has every reason to be alarmed as it uncovered
the following conditions
(1) Our growth already has caught up with our planning for
the next 10 years and there is an urgent need for a revamping of ow
entire program
(2) We already have reached the stage where we have used our
planned eater supply for the next 12 years
(3) There is an urgent need for sewers to stave off what
easily could became a menacing health problem This is especially
true where it concerns the George Bentley High School While we boast
one of the finest high schools in the state there is .a danger of having
it condemned in the not too distant future unless some sort of adequate
sewer system is made available
(4) There is a possibility that we could use as many as
30,000 new homes in the next two years to house the influx of new
workers that will be required at the General Motors and the two Ford
Plants This 30,000 figure is not fantastic - - but reality taken
from the statements of the officials of our three factories regarding
their employment rolls
(5) Using the industry figures there is a probability that
as many as 45,000 persons will be employed within the next two years
Being conservative, and figuring that only two thirds of them will be
family men, that, alone, would mean the furnishing of housing for
30,000 families And this is not taking into consideration the
possibility of additional factories for we still have more than 10
miles of open railroad siding which soon may be at a premium
(6) With this possibility comes the jump in population which
would far exceed even the wildest dreams of the planning experts from
our public utilities companies. For instance, at a meeting of Michigan
Department of Economic Development, several months ago, it was pointed
out that our present population in Area #8 was 55,000 persons in 1950
This area includes Redford Township, Livonia, Plymouth and Northville
These planners figured that the population in this area would
reach 95,000 in 1960 and 149,000 by 1970 They announced that they were
planning accordingly, and that the City of Livonia could expect about
seventy (70) percent of this increase
Page 427
However, these figures were based on conditions before
General Motors decided to expand and before the Ford Motor Co decided
to erect its second large factory in our midst With these changes it
is conceivable that we would reach the 149,000 total in our city alone
within the next two years and be 18 years ahead of the best planning
for the entire area
(7) With these potential increases will come a multitude of
problems such as the providing of water, sewers, improved streets,
and adequate educational and recreational facilities, the need of
relaxation in credit controls, the easing of mortgages and the release
of vital materials for private buildings to ward off the possibility of
Federal Housing
(8) Under our present financial set-up, the city is not
in a position to bring these needed improvements about, even if our
tax rate was raised to the five-mill limit as provided in the City
Charter
Therefore, there is only one conclusion - - we must have help
either by a government loan or an outright grant, which your committee
has learned, is within the realm of possibility
To explore the possibility of obtaining such aid it is
recommended by your committee that the city send a small delegation,
properly armed with information, to Washington to tell the story of
our needs and problems to the proper officials in hope that financial
aid can be had in order that our growth will not be retarded
It is further recommended by your committee that this report
be spread on the official minutes of this meeting in order that the
citizens will be made fully aware of the acute problems which now face
the city
Respectfully Submitted,
W Vi Edgar, Chairman
