liY J. D. HAVEN HINT TO SAVE 09,000 TO TAXPAYERS Tn** f< Rowing self-explanatory letter was r«sid by City An«rm*y W. Hugh WUliunv at Tuesday night's session of th«* Colin; il: in tin* operation of the Wayu** County Sewage Dispel System, cer tnin facilities «if the Wayne county ♦traiiiage distrii l N*». j> arc being used. In order to rcimhur>e the district f«*r the .use of tlM*s** facilities it was agreed l.j the Hoard <»f Wayne County Road Comnus'-ioiiers, whi**h is charge*! with the iteration of tin* Wayne County Sewage |ii.*|Hsiil System, that, an amount of money equivalent to the value of these senires he included in it* operating bmlget. The obvitais ill* ueul of this arrangeom-nt was to re du<>* the charge against the dintrkt for the operation and maintenance of the Wayne County Drainage l>istri**t \o S pumping station in lieu of cer tain additional charges u* la* levied against the taxi hi ye vs *4 the CBy of Wyandotte and part of the Township of Beorse for tin* *kis|K«sal of sewage. Unfortunately. at the time of the passage of the County budget, the tax against Wayne County Drainage Das trier No. 5 for the maintenance and o)*enitiou of the pumping station had already heeu spread without inakiug tuiy allowaiavs for Mu* aliove mention ed reduction and. as a result, both the City <»f Wyandotte and part of the Township of Krorse are being ovor eharged for the operation atwl maiu tennni'e of Wayne t'uunty Drainage 1 UstrU't No. 5. On November 13, 1939 a committee of officials from the <Mty of Wyandotte met with the Drain 4 Ynnmisaioner and representatives of the tented of County Koad an*l the Board of Auditors in order to hdge a protest against this obvious overcharge, and iu order to work out an equitable bash* 4i|M*u which the tax|Kiyeis of tlieir com munity might receive relief to which t!ie> are entitled. It was u.uanhii*Mwly agreed by aU pr**seut that the amount of tax spread for the maintenance and operation of the Wayne Oouuty Drain uge District No. 5 laianping station was exxsnfcdve in tin* amount of mately $9,009. The alternative pnojiosaLs were made as to five manner in which the taxpayers **f this district might be re lieved of this exreeadve burden. The first of these would have made noc**- sary the re lynwiinv of the satire tax roll for the district and w\mld have involved tonswle ruble ex-iiense uot only for the wio-k imsilved in dupluatiug siah spread but also that involved in culling a special s***+on of the Board **f Kiipei*v users. The various officials repn*sentiug t Im* Oity of Wyandotte who were present, in recognition °f this fact and in order that the <sninty might not tx* buixioue*! with any un necessary exiH*nse. agre*d to the fol- Itiwitig alternative pn^xisal. It was agnssl by the iVainty Drain Cimunissioner. the tewrd of 4’ounty Koiid Commissioners and the tesird of Auditors that the aau*>uiit of money iuclmtrd in the general county l>udget in the sum of approximately $9,000.06 would he set ankle for the specifki pur jmse of reducing the 19+1 tax levy against Wayne County Drainage No. 5 by a like atmmnt. Tbe net effort of •ibis profMiaal will »** to permit tlie ft.rtl waning years assessment against Wayne Ouinty Drainage District No. 5 to stand, and will make possible a reduct i*H> in the 19+1 levy for this pwr -IH*se iu a sum equal to twice as much as would normally I** deducted in that yea r. In order that this agreement may be made a matter of record a copy us this oannulliicati« *ii is being sent not only to the City of Wyandotte but also to M»e Township of Hcorso. and its contents are licing subscribed to by the Drain Coinnilssioner and tlie accrcdlt *sl rvpr« v scnt:i lives of she Board of Wayne County Road Commissioners and the Board of Wayne Comity Audi tors.
