It would be left to each community to de- termine its own method of rais- ing Its share eof the cost, and Figbert said, “financing doesn't appear too difficult and would be within the abilities of each unit te handie.” Bloomfield Township representa- tives again evidenced an interest in joint action with Birmingham on the project, Egbert said, and this phase will be taken up at Mon- day's City Commission meeting.

Bean appointed a Parking Study Committee of seven businessmen to investigate the problem The group made its final report in January 1948 recommending that 10 lots be built over a.two- year period to provide space for 1,885 cars They pointed out that increas. ing traffic would eventually ferce nearly all street parking to be banned and cited the danger to Pontiac’s business section if additional parking were not pro- vided. The Pontiac Press published a series of articles in the spring of 1949 describing Pontiac’s parking Situation and illustrating public parking programs in other Michi- gan cities In August 1949 the Parking Lot Assn., a*group of private lot oper- ators, made a report to the City Commission stating that no short- age of space existed. It said the problem was one of traffic con- gestion and felt that a reorganiza- tion of private lot operations would help solve the problem. steps The group's suggestion came after rejecting a request by the Pontiac Chamber of Commerce, which has strongly backed mu- nicipal lots to be financed by special assessment of property owners. Meanwhile various civic organi- zations were sponsoring public dis- cussions and studies In May 1950 the City Plan Com- mission turned down the private operators’ proposals and backed the original 10-lot idea. On Sept. 5, 1950, Oscar M. Gun- derson, Detroit traffic engineer, was retained by the city to make a parking study. He reported ‘in June 1951 that Pontiac needed 900 more spaces and recommended that two short-term lots, to hold 375 cars, be built immediately. One of his suggested sites was the lot opened today. Gunderson proposed that revenue bonds be issued to finance the lots. The bonds could be paid for from parking meter revenues, he ex-- plained. He emphasized — the great need was for short-term parking. In August 1952 city commission- ers received a report made by Lloyd B. Reid. New York traffic engineering consultant hired by Sam L. Stolorow, president of the Outdoor Parking Co. which owns a te-| majority of Pontiac's private lots. Reid’s report stated that lots were rarely over 60 per cent full and again pointed to traffic con- gestion as the sore spot On Feb. 10. 1953 city commis- sioners passed an ordinance pro- viding for a revenue bond issue of $190,000 to build the present fot and_one on the site of the former County-City market at 40 Mill St. Pontiac then owned 40 per cent of the market and none of the Parke-Pike land On March 17. 1953, a petition seeking a public vote on the proposed bond issue was filed bv the private operators._ Al- though the petitions apparentty were valid, City Attorney W'l- liam A. Ewart ruled that no vote was needed as long ac the city @id not issue the bonds.

On Aug. 10, a Circuit Court rul- ing and a later Michigan Supreme Court decision upheld the city, but meanwhile the greater portion of the Parke - Pike land was sold to the Jack Habel Chevrolet Co. at a reported $60,000 for business- expansion use The city authorized condemna- tion proceedings to acquire the Ha- bel property on Aug. 11, 1953 after purchasing another chunk on the corner of Pike and Parke for $9,- 3900. The county’s share of the market building was also bought for $48,890. Ou dan, 20, 1954 the city ac- quired the remaining piece, other than Habel’s property, for $2,450. On Feb. 1 Habel offered to sell to the city for $30,000 if Pontiac would deed him a 606x150 foot section of the County City Market, Commissioners balked at losing part of the market which they considered part of the municipal parking program. Habel sold his piece of the site, almost two acres, to the city on April 20 for $78,000. Before his purchase of the land, city officials had hoped to pay only about $50,- 000 for it. Previously on March 2, a Cir- cuit Court jury sitting in the con- demnation proceedings had ruled conde mn the land. The jury ruled, ‘no necessity’ for Pontiac to however, that short term parking here is necessary, but felt the Parke-Pike land was -not an es- sential location. Circuit Judge George B. Hart- rick sald the verdict was ‘‘in- consistent’’ and received it sub- ject to review. The city asked a new trial, but neither issue was decided when the land was purchased, Construction of the lot was’ be- gun immediately. Stolorow and other private op- erators appeared before the city commission June 8 to protest the planned dismantling of the market building and the installation of short-term meters there. They said meters on the market site would be across the street from a private lot and in direct competition with them. They stated they needed short-term parking business to operate at a profit. Commissioners have indicated they will wait to see how the first lot works out before proceeding with the market site. had site $27,- Year's 2nd Polio Case Listed in Birmingham Birmingham — Second polio case within a week, and the second of the year, was reported today by City Health Nurse Mrs. Anyce Gil- lette. Latest victim is a six-year-old boy who participated in the Dr. Salk polio vaccine trial. One fishing trawler can net a quarter of a million pounds of fish Small Will Claim Killing Madness’ (Continued From Page One) Small had been a “model son” until his wife’s romance with Lack broke up his home. He changed after that, she said. “He was nervous and irritable. He slammed doors, He never" act- ed that way before. He cried and couldn't be reasoned with. Once he threw a glass at his father and said ‘Pa, I don't like you any more’,”’ she said. Mrs. Small said she first learned of her son's interest in Edith, his wife, when he told her he had met a very fine girl in Ann Arbor and was dating her, That was shortly after Dr. Small had graduated from dental school, she said. Later, when he was at a naval station in Idaho, she received a letter from him saying ‘‘Edie’’ and he had de- cided to get married. The mother said she and her his- band attended the wedding in De- troit Nov. 22, 1944, and ‘‘every- body was very happy.” In his opening statement, Hoffman said “the pain in Small’s mind” was like a “‘physi- cal blow” after Mrs, Small re- turned from a Florida vacation last spring and asked him for a divorce. The attorney said Mrs. Small “locked the bedroom door" after she returned and Small, who “wasn't given to drink,”” went out and got drunk. When he returned, Hoffman said, Mrs. Small called the police Hoffman said the dentist's “breaking point’’ came when his wife went to the Lake -Michigan home for a weekend rendezvous with Lack. She said she was going to Chi- cago to visit friends, the attor- ney said, but later called from Fennville, which is near the sum- mer home, to check on her three children. “The word ‘Fennville’ was the breaking point,” Hoffman said. “From then on Small was com- pelied without reason to see what was going on.”’ The attorney said Small ‘‘doesn't remember much of what happened after he left Detroit to find his wife” at the Lake Michigan home. Dr. George Barahal, professor of psychology at Wayne University, was one of the chief witnesses Wednesday. In describing an inter- view with the defendant, Dr. Bara- hal said Dr. Small had told him he marriage. “If psychiatric help was neces- sary he was eager to take treat- ment,"’ Baraha] said. He testified that at the time of the shooting, in his opinion, Dr. Small knew right from wrong. “What concerned me most was that she had told her husband about Lack against my advice,” Dr. Ba- rahal said. ‘“‘I had suggested that they stay apart until they had seen a psychiafrist so that no violence might be provoked.” Interview for Olivet Clark Balch, 331 Liberty St., Pon- tiac school history teacher and Warren Thomas of the Olivet Col- lege faculty spent Tuesday inter- viewing prospective studéfts in the Pontiac area for Olivet.

Hart said George S. Fitzgerald “‘was ordered into the race by forces whose- only aim is to defeat Gov, Williams.” Fitzgerald fired back that Hart is a “hand-picked machine can- didate.”’ Hart told a television audience | that Fitzgerald was spending “enormous sums” of money in his campaign. He said Fitzgerald “‘took | a walk” from the party in 1950 and | | “gave aid and comfort" to form- er Gov. Harry F. Kelly in his comeback campaign against Gov. Williams. —- “Neither my opponent nor the forces he represents are interested in the Democratic program for Michigan,’’ Hart declared. ‘‘They want only to elect q Republican to the governorship in 1954 as they tried to do in 1950.” Fitzgerald, just back from a swing through the Upper Penin- suka, accused Har; of “‘attempt- ing to split the Democratic Party.” : The AFL Teamsters Union attor- ney and former Democratic na- tional committeeman asserted: “If I'm going to have to fight a machine, I'm going to take off the kid gloves." “The Democratic voters never did submit to dictation by any ma- chine,” he added.

Nicol said the schools train salesmen how to pretend to he mathematicians and to act like “factory executives, not sales- men."’ Under one method, he said, the salesmen are sent out to. home owners who are told they have been selected “for advertising pur- poses.” Nicol said the owner is told that after his home is fixed up as a demonstration he will be paid a fee for every similar job done in his neighborhood. But actually, he said, the repair firm does shody work on the ‘‘sample’’ homes, col- lects its money and then moves on to another locality for a repeat performance.

The department said 3,025 acres of land have been damaged by fires to date. In the record low year of 1951, 3,445 acres were dam- aged during the same period. The total loss that year was 4,491 acres. Foresters noted, however, that the hazardous late summer and fall seasons are still ahead and that a combination of dry weather and human carelessness could wreck ‘any chances for a new low, % THE PONTIAC PRESS, THURSDAY, JULY 15. 1954 NINETEEN e |At Least, Dulles Is Hoping concerned could in effect be. mili- bes French consider : (Advertisement) © turily guaranteed by a defense al-| an open question, M : eo ; ‘ yon liance which ihe U ited States has | is committe st to at ea IBBSDA j 1 Wes} TELEVISION --- RADIO Premier Mendes- France} veer wine" ts ‘ues or ream as remol Who Ally dad he - Asia.

The Metapan, which sailed from Golfito, Costa Rica, July 9 with a cargo of bananas, was in the gen- eral area when it picked up the SOS. It was bound for San Fran- cisco and Puget Sound. The United Fruit Co. freighter picked up a radio signal from the Lehi at 12:25 a.m. and took the raft alongside less than three hours later in what the Coast Guard praised as a marvel of sea- manship The Lehi's SOS, first sent about 8 p.m. and repeated at 8:15 p.m., said The message said “Taking water.
