CITY OF WYANDOTTE COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
(Continued from Page 18)
Building Code, they may conclude
that there is a lack of interest as
regards new methods and material.
Just now this city has a problem
confronting us, and that is what
to do about “Thin Veneers’’ used
to rtface buildings. Other subjects
might be listed as follows: ade
quate exita, chimneys, access to
buildings by Fire Department, wa
terproofing of basements and floors,
and there are numerous other
Items.
So that further and reasonable
consideration may be given to these
problems, may we suggest that a
committee be appointed, perhaps to
consist of a member of the Council,
one of the Fire Department, one
from the Engineering Department,
an architect and a builder.
At this time we are holding up
a project that calls for “thin ve
neered” face of a two-story build
ing and we are anxious to be able
to advise whether this application
should be approved or rejected.
Respectfully submitted,
Fred W. Classon,
Building Inspector
Referred to Council.
Honorable Mayor and Councilmen
City of Wyandotte
Gentlemen:
In reference to the condemned
dwelling on Third Street, I wish to
advise that I have contacted the
occupants who are Mr. and Mrs.
Rushlow and family, and I find
that they have purchased a home
in the south end of town and will
move by the end of the month. I
found that Mrs. Rushlow just re
turned from the hospital and is still
in a very weakened condition and
could not be removed from the
premises at the present time.
If this family does not vacate by
the end of this month, if the coun
cil so desires, I will take legal steps
to dispossess them.
Yours truly,
Herbert P. Schendel,
City Attorney
Referred to Council.
Honorable Mayor and Councilmen
City of Wyandotte
Gentlemen:
In reference to your question as
to whether or not *he Public Wel
fare Commission can legally recog
nize any union for exclusive bar
gaining rights, I wish to advise as
follows:
In checking the Michigan law,
I cannot find where our courts
have passed on this question, but
courts of other jurisdiction seemed
unanimous in their opinion th£t
exclusive bargaining rights, involv
ing governmental departments, are
invalid on the grounds that a
closed shop agreement would be an
unjust discrimination between cit
izen* In selecting employees and
that It would be an unlawful and
unconstitutional delegation to the
labor union of the authority vested
in the Public Welfare Commission.
The charter provides that the Com
mission shall not have authority
to enter into any contract of em
ployment not determinable at the
will of the Commission without the
consent of the Council.
It ft my opinion from the law
that I have found and from the
charter provision, the council would
have no legal right to enter into a
written contract with any labor
union. V do believe however, that if
the council so desires, they may
verbally enter Into negotiations on
behalf of the hospital employees,
which matter would be determinable
at the will of the council and in my
opinion may solve the problem.
Yours truly,
Herbert P. Schendel,
City Attorney
Received and placed on file.
To the honorable
The Mat or and Council
City of Wyandotte
Gentlemen:
In answer to some public ques
tioning as to what action is being
taken in the matter of a fair cost
for Wayne County Drain No. 5, I
wish to report that several meet
ings have been held with the W’avne
County Drain Commission and the
Wayne Coumiy Road Commission,
but that as yet no decisive action
has been taxen.
By the comparison of tax bills,
the taxpayer will note that the
maintenance cost has been reduced
materially for this year, but that
the cost for the installation remains
the same.
I have collected considerable
data and have discussed this mat
ter with several of our local attor
neys. The conclusion that I have
reached is that the drainage laws
of the State of Michigan are very
complicated and contradictory and
it has been the advice of the sev
eral attorneys that it is necessary
to employ the services of an attor
ney who has specialized in drain
age laws of the State of Michigan.
I therefore recommend that the
City Attorney be authorized to em
ploy the services of an attorney
who he knows to be a specialist on
drainage laws for an opinion as to
whether we have an action and his
recommendation for such action.
My own opinion was and still is
♦hat Wyandotte is unjustly taxed
for this improvement.
Respectfully.
Harr>' G. Rouse,
Councilman
Referred to Council.

military caste system into civilian
life by giving officers first crack

WMC in Washington has directed
regional directors to give “the great
est assistance” to young officer
veterans. Says the WMC:
“Many of these officers have mar
ried since they were called m f o
service. They and their families
are accustomed to living on an
| officers’ income and they under
j stand ably do not want to alter
! their standard of living.”
State WMC commissions are sur

bodied into a manual listing posi

when a vacancy occurs.
The Commission has already puh-
I lished a booklet . . . conspicuously
! labeled “enlisted men” . . . listing
all the types of Army and Navy

| Manpower officials have explained

at request of the Army AG s office
and the Navy Bureau of Personnel

no intention of discriminating
against enlisted men.
In the meantime, word of this
caste system has leaked out to
