City to Re-Apply for Federal
Aid for Disposal Expansion
Savings Bank to Move to New Site
City Council Monday night,
after a conference with a bonding expert from Michigan Municipal League, launched action to
re-apply for federal aid for the
proposed sewer disposal expansion program.
Although the city's application for a federal grant last
year was turned down, Saline
will be in a "very favorable"
position this year, according to
the League representative, Richard Studt, since communities
higher on the Ust last year are
now taken care of.
Another factor that will give
Saline a higher "critical need"
figure is a recent written agreement concluded with the state
health department, obligaing
sewer plant expansion before
any additional demand is made
on the disposal capacity.
A federal grant would pay up
to $60,000 toward the $210,000
expansion program, designed to
provide capacity for Meha retirement village as weU as other
growth. But funds for a new
water tower and mains would
have to come from other sources.
The remainder of (the funds
could come either through general obligation bonds or revenue bonds, but SaUne is "in an
excellent position, both legally
and financiaUy" for either, said
Studt. General obligation bonds
would require voter approval
of additional millage . . . but
it might be possible that the
bonds could be paid for without
actually levying the miUage.
Proceeds of connection charges
plus surplus revenues now amount to about $12,000 a year,
Studt pointed out. Revenues and
connection charges from 'Meha
would increase the amount.
CouncU authorized application for the federal grant, which
must be in by September 1,
and a special meeting was set
Monday, August 26, to pursue
the matter. Grants are made
and recipients notified by November 1.

of Temperance and vocational

employed subject to official action by the Michigan State University board of trustees at its

to Don Johnson, county extension director.

School Board Sets
12.5 for Operation
An architect's sketch, above, shows the
Salme Savings Bank's new 3,500 square foot
building to be started soon.
"The steady growth of the bank, plus
the desire to offer extended service, through
more automatic banking facilities have
prompted the expansion program," according
to William Crim, Sr., president. Advantages
of the plan include a large, modern workroom for bookkeeping, high level lighting,
sound control, and an organized operations
layout to provide an environment that is both
efficient and comfortable for employees.
The new site is one block east of the
present building, at 114 E. Michigan Ave.
Complete banking service, including two
drive-in windows and a walk-up window, are
planned. A large community room, with kitchen facilities and lounge, wUl provide employees and public groups with latest conveniences.
* The interior theme is to he contemporary in style, with functional furnishings in
the officers' area, and lounge-type furniture
in the customers' waiting areas. Daniels and

nulls.
