(By Associated Press)
LANSING, March 4-Capital pun-
ishment has passed from the hands
of the legislature today, probab :
to become a state-wide issue, bt
reapportionment, old age pension
proposals and legislative investiga-
tions crowded forward to occupy
the docket.
With this the last date on which
congress can set aside the new fed-
eral apportionment which gives
Michigan 17 congressional districts,
the apportionment issued moved
forward.
Representative Frank P. Darin of
River Rouge drafted a bill for an
apportionment plan which would
give Wayne county five congress-
men and make the metropolitan
area comprise the greater part of
another district. At the same time,
Senator Ernest T. Conlon, chair-
man of the senate apportionment
committee, announced hs group
will renew consideration of the is
sue Thursday.
The plan offered ny the Wayne
leader would increase Wayne's con-
gressional representation by three
and would leave only five present
districts of the state unchanged.
Wayne is now represented by two
congressmen. It also forms a part
of two other districts.
Wayne To Get First Five.
The first five districts under the
Darin .proposal would be in Wayne
county and the sixth area would
comprise all of Monroe county to-
eether with the cities of Dearborn,
Lincoln Park, River Rouge, Wyan-
dotte, the Twenty-second ward of
tihe cityof Detroit and 16 townships
in the putlying section of Wayne
qunty.
Present areas included in the
Fourth, Fifth, Seventh, Ninth and
Twelfth districts would be left un-
disturbed by the Darin proposal.
Other districts proposed by the
bill would be:
Seventh Lenawee, Washteaw,
Jackson and Hillsdale.
Eighth-Branch, Calhoun, Kala-1
mazoo and Eaton.
Ninth-St. Joseph, Cass. Brrien,
Van Buren, Allegan and Barry
Tenth-Ottawa and Kent.
Eleventh - Ingham, Livingston
and Oakland.
Twelfth -Macomb, Lapeer, St.
Clair, Sanliac, Huron and Tuscola.
Thirteenth-Genesee, Shiawasee,
Clinton and Ionia.
Fourteenth --Muskegon, Oceana,
Newaygo, Lake, Mason, Manistee,
Wexford, Missaukee, Grand Tra-
verse, Benzie and Leelanau.
Fifteenth - Saginaw, Gratiot,
Montcalm, Mecosta, Isabella, Mid-
land, Bay, Arenac, Gladwin, Clare
and Osceola.
22 Counties in Sixteenth.
Sixteenth - Roscommon, Oge-
maw, Iosco, Alcona, Oscoda, Craw-
ford, Kalkaska, Antrim, Otsego,
Montmorency, Alpena, Presque Isle,
Cheboygan, Charlevoix, E m m e t,
Mackinac, Chippewa, Luce, School-
craft, Alger, Delta and Menominee.
Seventeenth - Dickinson, Mar-
quette, Baraga, Iron, Gogebic, On-
tonagon, Hougton and Keweenaw.
The administration resolution
proposing a constitutional amend-
ment to permit refunding $50,000,-
000 of out-standing highway bonds
was approved Tuesday. .The pro-
posal will appear on the ballots in
the April '6 election.
The senate passed the Richard-
son bill to authorize county boxing
show permits for counties of 75,-
000 population or less. It goes to
the house. In committee of the
whole the upper branch advanced
the Conlon bill advocating the es-
tablishment of eastern standard
time throughout the state, the Con-'
lon bill to prohibit resale of junk-
ed automobiles and the Conlon
resolution proposing a constitution-
al amendment to permit the char-
ter system of county government.
* CITY rDIRiECTOR01EL
Combined Edition for Anni
Arbor, Ypsilanti Contains
Two Sections.
Copies of the 1931 city directory,
published by the R. L. Polk com-
pany, were issued yesterday in Ann
Arbor and Ypsilanti, this year's
book being a combined edition for
the two cities.
According to statistics compiled
in the issue, $17,000,000 is the total
for Ann Arbor's banking resources,
while the city's net assessment val-
uation is given at $55,157,200. Pos-
tal receipts for the year totaled
nearly $300,000, it is stated, or an
average of approximately $3 for
each resident. Telephones are dis-
tributed on a ratio of one for every
3.2 people, while there are churches
at one for every 1,759 residents.
Barber shops and beauty parlors
are more numerous than almost
anything else, the average being
one shop for every 800 men, and
one parlor for every 500 women.
One of the most interesting facts
to be gleaned from the directory
is that real estate operators in the
city must sell to an average of but
293 residents. The city has, oddly
enough, more than 50 apartment
buildings, a high average for a
community of less than 30,000 peo-
ple. The profession of contractor
is the most popular with 117 fol-
lowers in the city.
