Fate of Sinai Hospital
Building Debated

While the Detroit Medical Center
tries to decide what to do with the
Sinai Hospital building in Detroit,
community roundtable discussions
with neighboring residents have been
ongoing for a month, and razing the
site is only one option, said a DMC
spokesperson.
"As of right now, there have been
no clear-cut ideas, but there have been
a lot of preferences," said Howard
Hughey of the DMC.
Besides using the site for residential
purposes, Renaissance High School,
adjacent to the site, is interested in
possibly using part of the site for
expansion, he said. All options are car-
rying the same weight so far.
"We will take the ideas back to the
board for input in our final decision,"
Hughey said.
"Howard Mallett, our chief admin-
istrative officer and chief counsel, says
it's not an urgent matter but we are
dealing with it in a very deliberate
fashion."

Genealogists' Resource
Closed For Now

Water damage has forced the tempo-
rary closing of the Burton Historical
Collection, one of the Midwest's
largest genealogy collections, ,inside
the Detroit Public Library's Main
Library on Woodward. On its regular
field trips to the Burton Collection,
the Jewish Genealogical Society of
Michigan researches such resources as
census records, city directories, biogra-
phical files and maps.
The Burton is expected to re-open
Oct. 15, say officials, while the Main

Library continues its Tuesday-Saturday
schedule.
When Detroit's storm drains over-
flowed in late July, water entered the
Main Library basement where many
books, government documents, maga-
zines and photograph collections are
stored. A cleanup began July 28.
After the water was extracted, books
and materials were frozen and taken to
New York-based Document
Reprocessors, noted for its freeze-dry-
ing restoration process.
Archivists are taking this opportu-
nity to inventory the library's special
holdings. They expect all materials to
be restored for public use.

Three Charged
In Moser Murder

A man, 48, and two 16-year-old boys
are being held without bond on
charges in the July 24 murder and
robbery of 88-year-old businessman
Manfred Moser of Southfield and
employee Phyllis Gossett of Redford.
("A Long Life Cut Short" obituary,
July 28, page 130). The murders took
place at Moser's home improvement
business on Lyndon near Wyoming in
Detroit.
The defendants face mandatory life
in prison without parole if convicted
as charged of felony murder, said a
spokesman for the Wayne County
prosecutor's office. Armed robbery and
felony firearm counts were included
and the two juveniles were charged as
adults. A preliminary examination in
the 36th District Court is scheduled
for Aug. 29.
Sanford Moser, son of the victim,
praised the efforts of Detroit's Squad 7
detectives in solving the crime. "They
did a phenomenal job,".he said.
