(93)
page 101 continued
Minutes of regular meeting held Jan. 12, 1943, were read by
clerk and as there were no corrections, it was unanimously agreed
that same stand approved as read.
Upon completion of the reading of the minutes of previous
meeting Supervisor Daly advised a delegation representing Hone
Owners residing in Watsonia Sub'n #3, were in attendance, wishing
to learn what recent action was taken by Township Board relative
to having sanitary sewers installed on several street in their
section of Township. Supervisor Daly advised this matter had been
referred to our Township Attorney, also our Township Engineer and
as both were present he would call upon them to advise re: latest
developments in connection with said contemplated sewer district.
It was then pointed out by Township Engineer that plan as
originally contemplated, relative to financing this project out of
funds remaining in Water Construction account was later found to
be impracticable from a legal stand point, due to technicalities
and
Attorney
Bollinger
concurred
with
this
statement.
Engineer Orr advised he communicated with Bondholders, of
Dearborn Township Water System and their representatives in
Chicago, Ill. and advised bondholders no doubt will be interested
if total issue of $118,000. was taken up at a price of 105.
Attorney Bollinger then suggested it might be advisable to get a
90 day option from Bondholders. Dearborn Township Officials made
it clear that other sections of Dearborn Township wee much in need
of sewers and water improvements and indeed were seeking same from
Township Board. and in view of this fact, it would seem the better
policy to pursue, account to serve only son small district, that a
bond issue for a much large amount should be considered by
Engineer to serve a greater portion of the Township which issue
should prove more attractive to bond buyers and as per-attorneys
suggestion it was deemed advisable that they get in touch with
Michigan Advisory Board to learn what prospect there wold be to
sell such an issue.
Motion was made by Patterson seconded by
jones, That engineer Orr be authorized to make a factual survey
of districts in the Township which in his opinion should be served
at the present time by sewers also water mains or which in the
near future should have such improvements and when survey has been
completed to advise the Township Board.
YEAS:
MacDonald,
Mokersky, Jones, Patterson and Daly.
Communication from Ray D. Baker dated 1/29/43 was red by
clerk, same advised them was a balance of $502.00 due their
company for contract work done on Dearborn Township Water Mains.
Motion made by Jones, seconded by MacDonald that clerk be

to advise if Ray D. Baker had complied with all their contract
requirements and were given a release, before bill as presented
would be honored and ordered paid.
YEAS: Mokersky, Jones,

page 157 continued
Supervisor Daly
suggested as both Attorney Bollinger and
Engineer Orr were present, it would be appropriated to hear their
views before Township Board began consideration. of bids and
awarding of contracts.
Engineer advised he considered until price as submitted by
majority of bidders particularly on Section #2 as unreasonable,
being greater in excess of his estimated cost, although he was
inclined to believe a more favorable bid, If present figures were
not accepted and project was re-advertised at present time and
under present working conditions was most unlikely, therefore, readvertising, for new bids lacking assurance of less cost would in
the final analysis possibly add to the cost of the project as well
as delay construction and retard completing and putting Sanitary
Sewer Section #1 and #2 into operation.
Attorney advised that while bids submitted were higher than
anticipated by Township Engineer, for both Sanitary Sewer District
#1 and #2, it would in his opinion be unwise as well as costly to
throw out bids and re-advertise thereby delaying completion and
without the least assurance as pointed out by Engineer that a
lower construction cost would result, He also stressed the point
that enough money through the sale of $180,000. of Dearborn
Township Water and Sewer System Refunding and Extension Revenue
Bonds plus surplus money now on hand, would be available to meet
all construction cost and obligations and properly carry on
thereby making this Sanitary Sewer District a sound financial
undertaking, and also due to the fact that Bonds, had already been
sold on June 15th, 1943, he believed Township Board should take no
action towards delaying project, therefore he would recommend that
Board give this project favorable consideration at this time.
After hearing views, as expressed by Engineer and Attorney,
as to feasibility and contemplated cost of this project,
Supervisor Daly asked for consideration of bids as submitted 10:30
A. M. E. S. W. T. Tuesday June 22nd, 1943, which extension of
figures were verified by Engineer as to total cost of each
Section.
Upon tabulation of bids it was found that Angel DiPonio, was
low bidder for Section #1 his bid price being ($25,487.95).
Drainage Contractors Inc,
was found to be low bidder on
Section #2, his bid price being ($44,404,90.)
Motion made by MacDonald, supported by Mokersky that bid of
Angelo DiPiono, on Section in amount of ($25,487,95.) being low be
accepted also bid of Drainage Contractors Inc. on Section #2, in
amount of ($44,404.90) being low be accepted.

Clerk read minutes of four previous meeting, namely, Regular
Meeting held June 8th,
Special Meetings June 15th, 22nd, and
23rd. As there were no correction minutes stood approved as read.
Supervisor Daly, at this point advised there were some
persons in attendance at meeting who would like to be heard from,
before proceeding with other routine business.
Mr. Sasa a representative of Houseman Spitzley Corp. selling
and renting agents of Detroit, Michigan, was first to interview
the Board. He advised his company was searching for office
quarters and wished to know if Dearborn Township would consider
renting the small frame building used as a voting booth located at
Southwest corner of Lehigh and Telegraph Road, for a period of
approximately four months and if so what rental would be asked.
Motion by Mokersky,seconded by Jones, that Houseman Spitzley Corp.

corner of Lehigh and Telegraph Road at a rental rate of $25.00 per
month, subject to right of Dearborn Township to enter at any time
for purpose of any election or public function, possession to be

A delegation representing Sector #1, Dearborn Township was
next heard from. Mr. Anthony Wroblewski, Mr. Ruebelmann and Mr.
Upton, being chief a spokesmen regarding Civilian Defense actives.
Mr. Ruebelmann Senior Sector Warden, Sector #1, advised he
understood Mr. Von Moll of office of Civilian Defense could give
no assurance that any fire fighting equipment helmet indian tanks
etc, would be forthcoming
until this part of Dearborn Township
was placed in or designated as a critical area and wished to know
if Township Board was in a position to procure or advance funds
for the purchase of auxiliary Fire Dept. Equipment.
(138)
page 159 continued
Attorney Bollinger, advised Township Board had no money
available or set aside which could be advanced lawfully from any
fund at this time and believed the solution which would be in
keeping with the statues would be to have all property owners
residing not only within the boundaries of Sector #1 but n all of
the northern part of the Township circulate petitions, praying for
the establishment of a Fire Department and present petitions to
Township Board and if petitions when checked were found sufficient
and Election could be called to create a Special Assessment
District.
Mr. Upton, advised he talked with Mr. Logan Chief of Redford
Township Fire Department and and of the opinion Dearborn Township
Board wold be able to render helpful information from him, along
the line of action necessary to be taken to secure some Auxiliary
Fire Equipment.
Supervisor Daly, advise Engineer Orr made suggestion that
Dearborn Township Board write proper official of that Civilian
Defense Region - Chicago, Ill.
Re Ruebelmann stressed the point that some Civilian Defense
Material as essential at present time and Township Board should
make some provision to secure and advance funds for purchase of
same and stated that an amount of $250.00 had been offered or
suggested at Regular Board Meeting in June and at this time he
wold like to know if previous offer was still good.
After considerable discussion, MOtion was made by Mokersky,
and seconded by Patterson that the sum of $250.00 be allotted to
sector #1, Dearborn Township for purchase of Civilian Defense
Equipment with the understanding, as stated by Mr. Ruebelmann that
Sector #1, will contribute a like amount.
At this point, objection was raised by Jones, to granting of
$250.00 his contention being that all other 7 Sectors without any
doubt, ask for similar amounts, which on account of lack of funds
set aside in our budget for this purpose this amount could not be
made available at this time.
page 160
Another objection was voiced by Mr. William Thorne, a
resident and tax payer and an Air Raid Warden in Sector #8,
Dearborn Township his opinion, being to the effect if this action
was taken, same would be unlawful procedure.
Before roll call could be taken on motion to allot $250.00 to
Sector #1, a new motion was made by
Mokersky, withdrawing his
original motion with permission of member who seconded his motion.
which permission was given and original motion was then declared

Fred Sweet Chief of Auxiliary Police Dept, if Dearborn
Township appeared before the Board, seeking advice relative to
enforcement of plenary powers granted to Defense Council and such
persons as may be necessary to carry out the functions of th
council in accordance with Dearborn Township
Ordinance #7, He
expressed the opinion that said Ordinance #7, lacked adequate
provision for prosecution of violators of rules set up governing
blackouts.
(147)
page 171 continued
Mokersky suggested that Attorney Bollinger, review Ordinance
#7, was well as State Laws recently enacted dealing with violators
of provisions set up for enforcement of Blackouts, and rendered
legal opinion at next meeting.
This suggestion hade the
unanimous approval of full board membership.
Mike Chernick was next to interview the Board. he advised his
company the Detroit Construction Co. had five houses built on
South side of Pennie Road West of alley in rear of business lots
facing Jim Daly road in Watsonia Park Subdivision #3, which lack
sewage disposal facilities and which previous to building said
houses it was his understanding this section of Pennie Road was to
be included in set up covering Sanitary Sewer District #1.
As it developed this was not the case, account this section
of Pennie Rad not being included by Dearborn Township Engineer in
Sanitary Sewer District #1, and therefore he deemed it proper to
seek relief from Dearborn Township as Wayne County Health Board,
would not permit the installation of septic tanks, thereby leaving
his five houses with out occupancy and with no means of sewer
disposal, consequently he believed he should not be called upon to
install a sewer line on Pennie Road at his own expense, feeling
this cost of approximately $2500.00 should be borne wholly by
Dearborn Township, After Considerable discussion motion was made
by Mokersky seconded by Patterson that the above request of Mike
Chernick be tabled.
Before calling for
yeas and nays on this
motion,
Mr. Chernick was granted further hearing in which he
contended his request should not be tabled but should be acted on
at present meeting so further delay would be eliminated,
Mr.
Jones concurring Mokersky then asked permission of seconded to
withdraw his motion
which was granted by seconder Patterson.
Jones at this pint asked mr. Mike Chernick if he would contribute
an amount big enough to take the speculation or rick out of
building this additional sewage line on Pennie Road providing
Dearborn Township would undertake
to provide up to $1800.00 of
the contemplated cost of $2500.00 for the building of this line,
Mr. Chernick promised to take care of any cost over and above the
$1800.00 and also would live up to plans and specifications as
provide for by Engineer Orr in the remainder of Sanitary Sewer
District #1.
Jones made motion seconded by Mokersky, that Dearborn
Township authorize the expenditure of the sum of $1800.00 from
Water and Sewer construction fund with the proviso that Mike
Chernick pay all monies over and above said sum sufficient to
complete said sewage line on Pennie Road.

Regular meeting of Dearborn Township Board held in Dearborn
Township Hall 26807 Michigan Ave. Inkster, Michigan at 8: P. M.

Meeting called to order by Supervisor Daly.
Upon roll call the following members were present;

Mokersky, Patterson and Daly Absent Odom also present Attorney
Bollinger, Engineer Orr, Supt. Fearnley.
(156)
page 181 continued
Supervisor Daly, advised several residents from Van Born
Little Farms Subdivision was in attendance to ascertain what had
been accomplisher towards securing water, and believed regular
producer should be waived, and hearing be granted them at this
time. before proceeding with regular business.
Supervisor Daly then called upon Engineer Orr, to outline
work done and progress made towards solution.
Engineer Orr, then advised in his opinion the War Production
Board would turn down any application for priority if presented to
them. showing an average of two and one half tons of cast iron
per housed, he estimated approximately 63 toms of cast iron would
be required to furnish water to a total of 25 houses, in this
subdivision and this would be double the amount set up for each
house by War Production Board.
He also believed even if project
was approved by War Production Board the cost od installing a
water system in this subdivision where 25 housed were far apart
account of subdivision being laid out in large lots, would not be
warranted as he felt cost would be excessive as project if
undertaken would be excessive, as project if undertaken would cost
approximately $10,500.00, or at the least $400.00 per house. which
would be far in excess of cost of any water lines previously laid
in the Township and would be financially unsound and not in
keeping with rates as set up in Ordinance.
Mr Roney spokesman for the delegation appeared satisfied, the
estimated cost of $400.00 per house was too high to be borne
direct by Township but felt each house owner would be willing as
outlined at last meeting to advance a considerable portion of the
money to pay cost of installation, and thereby reduce cost to
Township.
After further study and figuring by Engineer Orr and
consultation , Supervisor Daly, asked Mr. Roney if he thought each
of the approximated 25 home owners, could raise $250.00 each to
help defray the cost providing the War Production Board approved
the application, he was sure each could and would be willing to
raise the $250.00 and said he would call a meeting right away of
the interested home owners in the subdivision and let Township
Board know result.
Motion by Mokersky, seconded by JOnes, that reading of
Clerk;s minutes of Regular Meeting held October 12th, 1943, be
waived.

Attorney Bollinger, Engineer Orr and Supt. Fearnley.

none.
Before proceeding further with regular business Supervisor
Daly advised that Attorney Chenoske, representing several property
owners of Van Born Little Farms Subdivision was in attendance and
would be heard from at this time.
Attorney Charnoske, then explained he was as stated appearing
before the Board, in behalf of a number of property owners, to
stress the great need of water in their subdivisions, he advised
he gathered from the reading by the Clerk of minutes of previous
(165)
page 191 continued
meetings as well as from other sources, that the opinion prevailed
that cost of furnishing water to said district would be rather
excessive and that Dearborn Township Board did not feel they were
in a position to provide all money needed from the Water & Sewer
Fund necessary to complete project, however, he felt regardless of
cost some method of financing could be worked out, which would be
acceptable to both Dearborn Township Board and residents seeking
improvement and he solicited Engineers and Attorneys opinions as
to approximate cost as well as proper procedure to be followed to
secure necessary improvement, relative to cost, Engineer ORr, at
this point advised Attorney Charnosek he estimated the Water
System cost would approximate $1050.00 to serve the twenty five
houses owned by the petitioners residing in Van Born Little Farms
Subdivision.
Township Attorney Bollinger then explained that residents,
petitioning for Water were preciously advised at to approximate
cost was well as procedures to follow, However he also stated it
was the understanding at a precious meeting if each of the twenty
five property owners would contribute 250.00 each or a total of
$6,250.00, toward the cost of this project, Dearborn Township
Board would finance balance of cost from Water & Sewer Fund, This
arrangement seemed reassuring at this time, however it was later
found nothing definite re-financing materialized.
He also informed Attorney Charnosek, the Township Board was
at all times anxious to furnish water tot he part of this
subdivision petitioning for same, but deemed it quite in order to
have some assurance that a portion of contemplated cost would be
borne by the District benefited before undertaking project he
believed the proper way to secure said improvement would be as
stated several times previously to create a
Special Assessment
District and asked Attorney Charnoske, to endeavor providing he
found out project would be honored by War Production Board, to
work out a plan for the raising of a portion of contemplated cost,
by the sale of $6,250.00, Special Assessment Bonds and providing
sale was successful the Dearborn Township Board would arrange to
provide balance of funds necessary to complete project, thereby
giving relief as prayed for in their petition.
Attorney
Charnoske seemed agreeable to work along lines as suggested by
Engineer Orr and Attorney Bollinger.
Communication from Glenn T. Phillips, Landscape Architect and
City Planner, dated Detroit Michigan December 10th. 1943, was read
by clerk, wherein he outlined as per request of Attorney
Bollinger, procedure for consideration of Township Board regarding
preparation of a zoning ordinance and building code for the
Township and also which outlined scope of service to be rendered
for a stipulated monthly retaining fee.
