In the summer, pressure drops to a trickle. RESIDENTS CLAIM it takes them 15 minutes to fill a small kettle. The water pressure rises after midnight.

Then residents fill tubs and buckets for emergency day use. As a consequence, many have considered putting up temporary outdoor toilets for summer use.

A third union leader, a Dutchman identified as Johan Frederick Blankenzee, 37, was taken to Harwich and put on a ferry to The Netherlands. THE THREE men had arrived here Thursday from a meeting of the World Federation of Maritime Unions in Marseille, France. The Federation voiced support of the London strike.

The 15,000 strikers decided at a mass meeting to go back to work. Labor Minister George Isaacs said the Cabinet will hang onto emergency powers until the dock ers actually return.

"THE SAVINGS could be only a couple of million dollars, which is only peanuts compared to a $60,000,000 deficit, but it is important." The Governor declared in response to questions from the Michigan editors that the Legislature eventually must Increase State taxes. "The question," he said, "is whether it will act soon enough to help." "The Legislature did not lick me on the corporation income-tax issue," Williams said, "but it licked the people. "THERE REALLY are only two adequate taxes left the corporation income tax and the individual income tax.

"I think the corporation tax is fairer because Michigan businesses carry only 8 per cent of the State tax load while the national average is 23 per cent."
