%eligson charged that the
Republican proposal for a $2.5
million bond issue to fix city
roads is "a very .expensive
way of raising money and will
not touch the problem. It will
take $5 million to get on the
job, and -five years to fix the
streets, according to city .engi-
neers."
Senunas blamed the poor
road conditions on the Demo-
cratic control of the govern-
ment in the 60's when the
"roads were not well-built."
Brezhnev
rejects
American
proposals
(continued from Page 1)
in May at a meeting with Soviet
Foreign Minister Andrei Gromy-
ko, probably in Western Europe.
But Brezhnev is the only single
leader who would normally be
able to accept American SALT
proposals and Vance noted the
Middle East "and other items"
would also be on the May
Iagenda.
HE TOLD reporters he had
had a one-hour meeting with
Brezhnev, with.the Soviet leader
"doing all the talking" and pro-
posing "nothing new on their
side."
Vance had said he would stay
in Moscow longer if progress on
the treaty proposals warranted
it, but planned after the Brezh-
nev meeting to leave for West-
ern Europe this morning, on
schedule.
Brezhnev told Vance in a
Monday meeting that American
criticism of Soviet handling of
human rights matters made
good relations impossible be-
tween the Soviet Union and the
United States.
VANCE SAID THE human
rights issue had "not come up"
yesterday and the SALT pro-
posals "stood on their own
feet."
Other American officials, how-
ever, speculated that the SALT
rejection was related to the ear-
lier warning.
An interim nuclear arms con-
trol accord expires Oct. 3, but
Vance said "it is still possible"
to reach a SALT agreement be-
fore then.
Vance said he thought rela-
tions between the two countries
would "continue to be good."

Lou Belcher strongly believes in our present "Citizen-
involvement" type of governmerot.
The Issue:
Ann Arbor has a "weak-mayor. strong-administrator"
type of city government. Policy decisions are determined
by citizens who are elected to serve on city council and
implemented by the full-time paid city administrator. This
form-of city government has given us budget surpluses for
the last three years under the able direction of our city
administrator. Mr, Wheeler wants to change this system.
Lou Belcher does not.
Mayor Wheeler's
stand:
* Mayor Wheeler wants the Mayor's position to be a four-
year term paying $30,000 to $35,000 per year - and
this would be in addition to the full-time city adminis-
trator. (Chamber of Cqmmerce debate, March 9. 1977)
He voted yes to establish a Public Officers Compensa-
tion Committee to provide salaries for council members,
even though such pay is in violation of our City Charter.
Nov. 17, 1975
Mayor Wheeler voted against the resolution that would
have placed the question of pay for council on the ballot
for the citizens to decide. Dec. 8. 1975
He voted against an ordinance which would have de-
nied the Compensation Commission's recommendation
Mayor Pro-Tem
Lou Belcher's stand:
In every single instance. I voted the opposite of Mayor
Wheeler and in some cases, sponsored the resolution
involved.
I am firmly convinced that paying the Mayor $35,000 per
year and paying council will destroy our time-honored
tradition of citizens donating their time to serve our city.
Instead, we will have. a government run by paid politicians.
Our city charter provides many checks and balances and
has proved to be a very clean and effective form of gov-
ernment. I don't believe the same would be true of a
government run by paid politicians.
Under Mayor Wheeler's proposal, the Mayor would run
our city - yet he would retain the administrator's position.
This would mean our city employees would have two
bosses and develop into total chaos.
Our time-tested system of non-paid citizen service should
be retained. If I am elected Mayor. I will fight to keep our
present form of government.
