Pension Levy Legal Ouiside Mill Limits Attorney General Ruling May Apply in Local Setup. Costs of municipal fire and police pensions, such as the plan In operation In Battle Creek, may be levied by Michigan cities outside their tax limitations. Attorney General Stephen J. Roth held in an opinion given out at Lansing today. Roth declared that passage of the Bates law.

which exempted "home rule" cities from the 15-mill limitation, made no change in special levies allowed bv law. Both pension systems and garbage collection taxes may be levied outside the 20-mill limit permitted "home rule" cities and the 10-mill limit on other municipalities, the opinion said. Mayor Bailey said today that a study of local laws and charter provisions would be necessary before he could give an opinion on the position held by the attorney general. "It may be that we have limited ourselves in regard to taxation in such a way that taxes for the fire and police pension could not be levied as an additional tax here," the mayor said. For the current year the city has placed $30,000 in the budget as the anticipated cash cost of the fire and police pension to the city alone.

In addition, money comes into the fund in the form of contributions from the firemen and policemen. As compared to this current expense of $2,500 a month to the city, actuaries have informed the city that to put the program on a sound basis, the city should now be investing $118,000 a year in the plan. The city is still searching for a workable means of setting the pension fund up on a sound actuarial basis.

Driver Is Uninjured As Truck Overturns A gravel truck overturned and a pickup truck and a driver-training car from Battle Creek high school collided in a traffic accident about noon today on M-78 by Bailey park. As explained by state police, the training car, a station wagon with an instructor and four students, pulled out of Bridge street and started south towards the city.

The car was driven by Auga Lee Reed, a junior at the school. Y. Maurice Doran waa the instructor in cnarge. As it traveled comparatively slowly south on M-78, traffic began to slow down and pile up behind, troopers said. The gravel truck, driven by Howard Lord of Route 1.

was fully loaded with several yards of gravel. Mr. Lord said he believed he would be unable to slow the truck sufficiently with brakes because of his load, and sheered off to his left around the line of traffic. The truck ran down the road's shoulder, then struck a culvert and flipped over on its back. Mr.

Lord was unhurt. Right behind the training car was a pickup truck driven by Cleo Langg of Route 3. Nashville. Mr. Langg saw the truck go over and in watching failed to note how fast he was coming up on the training car.

If the Battle Creek townsh.p board levy a half-mill of taxes on its own to run the tovn-thip in 1950, the total tax rate for township operations would be les- than it has been since 1934.

it was pointed out today by Treasurer Rjy Cameron. Until now. the township hay kept within its allocated tax rate. Discus Half-Mill levy But at a joint meeting of the board and towtuhip advisory committee Monday night, it was decided the township might have to use its charter pomers and levy some additional taxe. The figure agreed upon was one-half mill.

A mill of property tax Is equivalent to a dollar per thousand dollars of assessed valuation. The township allocated tax rates over the past 18 years have been as follows: TK Tax Year Rate Tear Ki 13 IMS J35 3 4 2 lHiii 3 1V45 2M IS37 'l 1M 2 Ml IIM7 II IHjH. 2 1 hit i 14 1 3 OS IM ai "So Jt is seen the township has been getitng less and less of the property tax each year," Mr. Cameron said. "Even if a half-mill is added for 1950, the rate will be low.

My figures how also that as the township rale has gone down, the county rate has gone up" The advisory committee presented the board with a 1950 budget of $123,460, which the board plans to accept, subject to final decision after a public meeting later this month.

Hale Brake Tuesday had to side against his party fellow, State Highwa Commissioner Charles M. Ziegler, in a feud with the Democratic attorney general.

Brake notified the state administrative board that he was refusing to honor a $24,907 state check for sand acquired by the highway department near Mt. Clemens. This, Brake said, is because Attorney General Stephen J. Roth has ruled the transaction illegal. Ziegler needled the Democrats a little by reporting that although State Controller Robert F.

Stead-man had first challenged the sand contract and Roth had ruled against it, in the end Steadman's department had approved payment of it. But Brake said he would be personally responsible for the $24,907 if he paid it contrary to an attorney general's opinion and that he wouldn't take that risk. The sand was obtained from a federal flood control project near Mt. Clemens and transported to a highway project by the project contractor, the J. Meagher of Bay City.

Seek Who's Who In Ohio Town's Mixed Baby Case RAVENNA, O. (U.P) A doctors report that two babies were mixed up at birth had two families confused and bewildered today. Mr. and Robert Strayer called off a scheduled baptism of two-week-old Michael Strater, until they could find out if the black-haired boy is really their own.

Strayer had occupied the same hospital room, and their children were born a few hours apart on September 21. While examining baby Gerald at the Shanley home yesterday, Dr. Meacham discovered a scratch on the right side of the chin and a tiny bump on the back of the head. These indicated that Gerald was an instrument delivered baby, he said. But he recalled that the Shanley baby was not instrument delivered while the Strayer baby had been.
