Result in Loss Gunn estimated the community will lose between $45,000 and $55,- 000 a year in taxes as a result of cancellation of the 24-story project. It was also estimated by Gunn that the downtown will lose be- tween 400 to 450 permanent resi- dents-persons who would shop at downtown stores and use down- town services. Gunn declared that out-state City Votes For Junior College Plan Jan.15 An election on the establish- ment of the proposed community college for Washtenaw County will be held Jan. 15. The voters will also provide authorization of millage to oper- ate the institution and will select a six-member board of trustees. Most of the 38 candidates for trustee will appear at Candidates Night at 7:30 p.m. today at the Arborland Assembly Hall. The sponsoring group is the Ann Arbor Citizens Council, a nonpartisan organization to encourage partici- pation in governmental affairs. news media which have contacted him are "amazed" that the coun- cil would turn down the 24-story building after "nearly every city official" worked over a year with Gunn and Carver. Verbal Blast Gunn accused council of not working in the best interests of Ann Arbor and unleashed a ver- bal blast at three Democratic members-Mrs. Burns, Dr. Edward P. Weeks of the ThirdWard, and Dr. Edward C. Pierce of the Fourth Ward. In effect Gunn charged the three with taking a stand Lgainst high-rise buildings to create a spring election issue. The charge came as Gunn an- nounced he and Carver had with- drawn from the city's Housing Board of Appeals a petition re- questing variance on the prospec- tive 24-story building's backyard setback. Grist Mill "We don't want to give the Democrats any ammunition for the political grist mill this spring," Gunn said. The three Democrats singled out in Gunn's attack later issued a statement defending themselves against Gunn's charges that they weren't acting in the best interests of the city. Weeks, Pierce and Mrs. Burns said they understood Gunn's frus- tration and chagrin but they did not understand his apparent fail- ure to grasp the rationale behind the council's action. Too Late They said the spirit of the or- dinance was not "stop all high- rise construction," but was de- signed to "work out solutions to problems created by high-rise buildings before the buildings are up and it's too late." "Action by the council was neither ill-advised nor hasty. Three nationally known consul- tants on planning, zoning and as- sociated problems held an all- day conference with various city officials and said a height limita- tion would be reasonable , and would not hinder investment in the lively Ann Arbor housing mar- ket," the statement said. The three Democrats went on to say that Gunn "conveniently" forgot that of the nine votes for the ordinance, four were cast by Republicans. ~__ - - - I "He also accused the Democraits of taking a stand against nigh- rise buildings to create a spring election issue. If the Democrats on council sought to conjure up a partisan election issue, would four' Republicans have pitched :n to help? We respect these Republi- cans too much to believe they could be as handily bamboozled as Gunn seems to believe they have been," the Democrats said. The ordinance is the outcome of feeling among council membersI ! that the high-rise buildings, if not properly planned could astheti- cally ruin the horizon of Ann Arbor. Discussion centering on legis- lative action to halt construction until some plan could be devised was first discussed at the coun- cil's November work session. City, Attorney told council that no building permit could be issued if it conflicts with pending legis- lation. This legislation will be pending at least until Monday's public hearing.

He said he felt in- terpretations of the state consti- tution requested from the attor- ney general would be enough to define the Board's authority if any conflicts should arise. Reaction to Fill's proposals have received little opposition from the state's college administrators as yet. University Executive Vice- President Marvin L. Niehuss said he felt there was no limit to the advice the Board could give the governor and that they certainly have the right to recommend in- dividual institutions' budgets. Model System Michigan State University's Vice-President for Business and Finance Philip J. May agreed, not- ing that perhaps the voluntary coordination plan being developed by the coordinating council could be used as a model for the system to be set up by the Board. Fill's statements capped specu- lation begun in mid-December when Warren Huff, Michigan State University trustee and chair- man of of the Michigan Coordi- nating Council for Public High- er Education, said that he had in- formally contacted several of the Board's members about a coordi- nating council request that "they consider the policy of dealing with appropriations for the 10 state- supported colleges as a group," even though up to this time the coordinating council has strongly espoused its own plan of voluntary coordination as opposed to the Board's enforced coordination. - At that time, Huff said that the coordinating council, made up of high administrators from the 10 schools, was "in effect, asking the new state board to tell us to integrate our budget requests." No Aid There are indications that the Board will be making up its con- solidation procedures without ef- fective aidpfrom the state's col- leges. The colleges have so far been relying on the coordinating council's report on voluntary co- ordination to express their feelings on what a coordination proposal should contain. Possibilities of using the co- ordinating council's voluntary plan for budget unification as a model for the Board of Educa- tion's mandatory plan were en- couraged by Board member Don- ald M. D. Thurber, a former Re- gent of the University. Thurber said that he was "very encourag- ed by the coordinating council's progress in this area" and that he expected the Board would take a "very interested look" at the co- ordinating council's results. These possibilities were denied, however, by Central Michigan University President Judson Faust a member of the coordinating council. Faust said he felt the coordinating council has "quite a way to go yet" before it will have an acceptable plan for a unified budget request. I carries .5y P T~j M.
