Shape Saline Fair Plans
Advancing plans for the
1967 Saline Community Fair,
discussed at a meeting of the
board Monday night, included addition of a new event
to the calendar, and re-alignment of department supervisors.
The Fair, which will span
five days this year for the
first time, will open on Tuesday, September 5, and run
through Saturday.
The new event, expected to
attract as many city dwellers
as farmers, is a garden-tractor pulling contest under the
chairmanship of Elmer Diuble. The little tractors will
compete under approximately the same procedures as
their heavier counterparts —
"a mechanical pony-pull",
said one Fair Board member.
Negotiations   to   hold  the
Fair at the Farm. Council
grounds are in process, according to Don Wiedman,
chairman; discussion centers
on proposed rental increases
and proposals for permanent
fair installations to cut costs
per year. '
BOYS VANDALIZE
RESIDENTIAL AREA
Vandals struck a number
of residences around the intersection of Mills Rd. and
Hollywood Dr., at 2:30 a.m.
Sunday, police said.
Several boys were seen on
foot by a home-owner, it was
reported. Among the vandals'
activities: several small trees
broken off, mailboxes knocked down and one taken..away;
stop sign and spefcd limit
sign bent and pulled out of
their mountings."
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Starling have been named supervisors of this year's pony
show, formerly arranged by
the late Karl Weavie. Mrs.
Weavie has volunteered assistance, as have Mr. and
Mrs. Lloyd Feldkamp.
Stanley Poet and Mr. and
Mrs. Pete O'Mara will be in
charge of agriculture exhibits, replacing Robert Hammond, who filled in for Oral
Bassett last year. "
William Weinhardt will represent the Saline Fair at a
Michigan Fair School, to be
held on the Michigan State
University campus on March
30.

The $6,899,000 bonding issue for new school facilities will increase this year's
total school expense "dollar" by an estimated $522,450. This figure includes increases of $179,900 in operating expense and $342,500 in building expense.
It is estimated that (on our increased tax liase) it will take aii overall increase in total school taxes of about three mills to raise the necessary extra income. This will mean that on property anywhere in the Saline Area School District which would sell for $20,000, the taxpayer would have an increase in big
school tax of about $30 per year. This $30 increase includes about $5 per year
for the proposed natatorium (pool).

about  20  loads   o f
patch" so far.
The only new work included in his $100,000 estimate
is the paving of Clai'k St.,
extension of Harris, and application of the final coat on
Henry and S. Lewis streets.
Pavement of Bemis will pi'o-
bably have to be postponed
because of the greater urgency of other work, he said.
Sections which should be
repaved include part of Pleasant Ridge, part of N. Lewis,
part of S. Harris, and all of
Bennett St. Also in need of
.new paving are Russell St.,
Mills Rd., all of Spring, S.
Ann Arbor St., Davenport,
and part of Detroit St. . . .
but the latter would have to
be torn up anyway, Strait,
noted, since a new storm sewer is to be installed there
this summer.
One of the most heavily
damaged streets is N. Ann
Arbor, beyond the railroad
tracks . . . but it stands virtually no chance of a new
pavement because of its "half
and half" status. From, the
tracks to 418 N. Ann Arbor
St., it is -in the city, but;it
"should be lowered in places
where it's higher than tne
sidewalk", Strait said. Tho^
cannot be done until the areaT,"
in the township, from residence number 418 to th:e
Cheese Shoppe, can be rebuilt .at the same time
"' FaHher but, to the MEHA
•site, only the east side of the
street is in the city, so that
any improvements there
would'b,e a joint city-county
operation. But' the county
Road Commission has its
own troubles with winter
damage, the most extensive
in years.
City streets will "get worse
before they get better", observed Strait. "The frost isn't all out of the ground
yet."
How much of the needed
$100,000 can toe budgeted for
streets is not yet, certain,
■since the Council's discussion
meetings for the 1967-1968
budget have just begun, and
the city's equalized valuation
will not be known until the
Board - o f Review hearings
are completed.
Going into, the Board of
Review (which'will meet on
Monday to hear appeals) the
city valuation is up approximately $12,000,000 over last
year . . . but this is subject
to the Board's adjustment,
either up or down, Assessor
Robert Harrison pointed out.
Last year, the Board dealt
with approximately 100 appeals; this year, only about
.30 are expected, Harrison
said.
Retiring after many years, as. board member and
president of the Saline Mercantile1 Co., Arthur Heininger (right) this week was presentedUwith a plaque "in
