This past week, men from the Wayne County Bureau of Taxa- tion were making the rounds in Livonia assessing all merchants, business and industry in the town- ship. It is estimated that better than 150 will be hit by this legal but new form of tax in Livonia. Detroit has had a Personal Property Tax for many years as well as most of the surrounding Townships and Cities and Liv- onia is one of the last in Wayne County to put this tax into effect. The assessed valuations placed on the various establishments are not final and final action will be taken by the Board of Review. According to the County offi- cials, those persons who will have to pay this tax for the first time are very fortunate that they have not had to pay it for the past many years. It has been legal for over, fifty years in the state of Michigan. This past week Ralph Gumtow and Dave Folsom moved into first place in the Men's Doubles Tournament at the Livonia alleys with a 1411.

Ault of 20117 Mayfield avenue, was married to Thomas Roberts of Monroe at 11 a. in. Saturday, June 7th at St. Mary's Church, Monroe. The bride's gown was made of white marquisette with long sleeves, sweetheart neck with ruching, stiff bodice and a very plain skirt with a peplin starting at the waist to form the train. She wore a threequarter length veil with Juliette cap. Her bouquet was roses and lilies of the valley and her two at- tendents were Delores Ault, cou- sin of the bride, and Jean Roberts, sister of the groom. The grooms brother, John Roberts, was best man. A reception followed at the home of the bride from 5 to 9 p.m. for about one hundred and fifty invited guests. Married Students at MSC Say They'd Do It Again They'd do it again even know- ing what they know now, the married students at Michigan State college indicated in a sur- vey recently conducted by Prof. Judson T. Landis, of the depart- ment of effective living at the college. Asked the direct question, "Would you do it all over again, knowing what you know now?", 77 percent of the students or their wives gave an emphatic "YES!" That makes the score something like three to one in favor of mar- riage, even under the hardships imposed by living in trailer camps, temporary barracks, apartments, and similar close quarters. The results reveal that the wives would be a little more will- ing to repeat their marriages if they had a chance to go back in time. For 83 percent of the wives said they would marry again, while only 71 percent of the men gave like approval. But Professor Landis in analyz- ing the answers says he sees a note of chivalry as the chief cause of the lower percentage among the men. Replies to other queries indicate the men are just as hap- pily married as the women, but many of the men feel they haven't been able to support the girls as they should. Given the chance to go back, they would wait until college days were over before marrying—and they'd marry the same girl, too. Professor Landis is using the results of this survey in his lec- tures on marriage to Basic college students in the effective living course. His students thus receive the benefit of first-hand know- ledge from those who already have taken the step toward es- tablishing home and family. Appropriate $3,000 for Traveling Library Upon the recommendation of the Board of County Auditors and of Walter H. Kaiser, county li- brarian, the Wayne County Board of Supervisors has approved an additional appropriation of $3,000 for the purchase of more books for the new Traveling 'branch of the Wayne County Library. The traveling library which started service the end of March, is meeting a real need and accord- ing to Kaiser, the demand for books is increasing beyond expec- tations. "After four weeks of op- erating we knew our book supply was inadequate," he stated. Concerning the additional ap- propriation, the Board of County Auditors stated: . it is the recommendation of this Board that said request be concurred in so that this outstanding service can be supplied to the children and adults of the unincorporated areas of the County, which for- merly were denied this service." Miss Katherine Ashley, libra- rian in charge of this new service, said "It has become necessary to limit children to one book where- as the average child requires four books for a two-week period. The mobile library is on a two-week schedule and returns to each loca- tion bi-weekly. For further information about the Traveling Branch, phone TEmple 1-6910 or Wayne 0402.

"I'll say they have Doc, and unfortunately it makes some peo- ple pretty mad because they dont understand the reason ...you see .. , our fire department only an- swers calls in our own township unless they are asked to come to a fire outside their township by another fire chief or city official who would be responsible for paying a bill. that would later be sent them for the run . the main reason for "staying in our -own backyard" is that supposin' they event down into Nankin Township because some lady call- ed and said her house was on fire and while they were down there your -office caught on fire ... you would not like it very much if they were not around to make the Limited Supply t a, Livonia Hardware & Lumber 5 Mile at Farmington Phone Livonia 3140 LIVONIAN call to YOUR office fire . and too, the insurance company would likely want to know what we were doing out of our territory. Of course in our case in Livonia here, our department will make runs any place in the township from Eckles road on the west to Inkster road on the east and from Joy road. on the south to Six Mile road on the north . there is quite a heavily populated area between SixMile road and Eight :Mile road that is in our area but we call Redford to make those runs because they are nearer by two or three miles than we are and can make the run quicker and likely save a home whereas if we had to make the run we miht get there too late ... those folks up there like that kind of co- operation between departments . . and another thing Doc ... the rea- sons I have given you are the same ones that cover this situa- tion that has come up lately about pumping out :basements for some of the residents down in the southeast section ... you see, the pumper should not be out of fire service down there when there is the possibility of someone need- ing the department for a fire ... that truck is to put out fires, not to be used to pump out basements they have done it a couple of times but cant do it any more and they are sorry to have to tell the folks that, but thats how it is . . . does that answer your question Doc? "Yep, that does it Charlie . . gotta go home to lunch now . see you later." "O.K. Doc, so long ... see ya in church."

Sociable, but few friends rather than many. April, and August are your lucky months and Friday your fortunate day. You will be most friendly with Aquarius and Libra people, but your true mate was born under Sagittarius. The men are bright, restless, eager, mercurial, love money and social position.

Furor Caused by City of Detroit To Annex Livonia (Continued from page 1) was the rest of Livonia Township west of Middlebelt road -and north of Plymouth road, with a popula- tion capacity of 120,000 and an area of 25 square miles. The plan was drafted by Ladislas Segoe, professional con- cuitant for the City Planning Commission, and Mrs. Astrid Monson, social, economist. For the benefit of local residents it was pointed out by Supervisor Jesse Ziegler that these areas can not be annxed without a vote of the people in Livonia on whether or not they want to be annexed, and a vote of the people of De- troit on whether or not they want to annex this section of Livonia Township. Before a referendum is he's_ in Livonia the voters in ed" -rd Township must vote first in t'i-t, they are adjacent to Detroit at the present time. Mr. Ziegler also stated that at the present time "Satellite" cities can not be set up without state legislation, which cannot take place at least until next year. Mr. Ziegler expressed the opinion that "people in Liv- onia Township are unduly alarm- ed at this proposal by the City of Detroit."

Board Hears Oporto Group The Township Board met for their regularly scheduled monthly meeting this past Monday at the Town Hall. Representatives from Oporto street were out to register com- plaints with the Board concern- ing zoning conditions in their community. The group, with Far- rand Perry as spokeman, came before the Board to get some as- surance that the Township and the Zoning Board would not allow accessory buildings to be con- structed in Livonia. They com- plained that many small buildings were put up, and then nothing further was done to develop the property and this was an eye sore to the Township and espe- cially„ certain areas. The Board stated that they would advise the Building In- spector that no building permits would be issued for any buildings smaller than a garage henceforth and permits for small out build- ings would only be issued after the home had been completed. Although no official action was taken by the Board at this meet- ing, the problem of fire protection was brought up in that the Red- ford Fire station on Five Mile road had been sold and there was a possibility that the Redford Fire Department would be cen- tralized. This move by Redford if made would make it necessary for Liv- onia to find some other means of fire protection in the north- east section of the Township. Al Novik was given a three months permit to operate a taxi- cab in Livonia from his place of business on Five Mile road. Mr. Novik was also given the exclu- sive right to operate under the name of Veterans Taxi in the Township. If you have anything to seL or rent try a Livonian want ad.
