A A Suburb
A nnexation
Annexation of the Ann Arbor
Hills Subdivision has been recom.
mended by City Council's city-
township relations special com-
mittee in a report to the council.
Councilmen Clan Crawford, Jr.,
Charles W. Joiner, and Carl A.
Brauer, Jr., the members of the
committee suggested that the
council support any efforts by the
residents of the subdivision toward
annexation, in an effort to solve
the area's sewage disposal problem.
The subdivision, including ap-
proximately 164 acres just outside
the eastern city limits, now handles
its sewage on an individual-home
septic tank basis. Dr. Otto K. En-
gelke, county health .office, has
told residents of the subdivision
that "a multiple-type sewage col-
lection system, with proper treat-
ment, is the only solution."
The council's committee also
recommended in its just-published
report that in the event of annexa-
tion, sanitary sewer facilities
should be financed through special
assessments in the area and that
improvements should not be made
without the citizens' requests.

Associated Press Farm Reporter
WASHINGTON WP) - How well
off is the nation's agriculture?
This question is being argued by
groups having conflicting views on
whether the federal government
should do more or less to put
dollars into farmers' pockets. The
debate doubtless will be heard in
Congress when members again
tackle farm legislation at the com-
ing session.
The.controversy has been fed by
periodic reports of the Agriculture
Department that farm income is
rising in a recent document en-
titled "The Balance Sheet of Agri-
culture, 1957," issued by the Fed-
eral Reserve Board. This bulletin
said farm assets increased five per
cent during 1956.
Well off: Benson
Secretary' of Agriculture Ezra
Taft Benson, one of whose tasks is
to defend farm policies of the ad-
ministration, has been leading the
"pro" debating team on this issue.
Espousing the negative has been
James B. Patton, president of the
National Farmers Union, Herschel
Newsom, master of the National
Grange, and leaders of the newly
organized National Conference of
Commodity Organizations.
Benson pins much of his argu-
ment on the FRB bulletin relating
to farm assets.
Assets at Peak
"On Jan. 1, 1957," the bulletin
says, "the value of farm assets
reached a new peak of nearly 177
billion dollars, about five per cent
more than a year earlier."
These assets were listed as farm
lands and buildings, automobiles,
tractors, motor trucks, farm ma-
chinery and equipment, livestock,
crop inventories, household goods
and financial assets.
The bulletin said that most of
the increase in assets in 1956 was
in the value of farm lands. Of the
total increase of 8.6 billion dollars
in all assets, land accounted for
6.8 billion.
'NotdTrue Increase'
Newsom declares that this in-
crease in land values is not a true
increase because, he argues, farm-
ers owned no more land at the
start of 1957 than at the beginning
of 1956.
Newsome and others, who argue
that farmers are no better off this
year than last, if as well off, point
to the Federal Reserve bulletin
report on farm assets as reflected
in farm holdings of livestock. The
bulletin says these assets increased
4.7 per cent during 1956.
But the critics cite an Agricul-
ture Department report giving an
inventory of livestock on farms at
the beginning of the year. This
report states that at the beginning
of 1957 there were two per cent
fewer cattle, five per cent fewer
hogs, one per cent fewer sheep
and 9 per cent fewer horses and
mules on farms than a year earlier.
Only in the case of poultry was
there an increase.
Due to Inflation?
The increased valuation put on
livestock by the Federal Reserve
bulletin reflected higher market
BENSON ES. FARM GROUPS:
Prosperity of Agriculture in Dispute
prices for animals. Newsom says
the higher prices were due, in part,
to inflation.
The bulletin showed little differ-
ence in the values of crops held by
farmers at the beginning of this
year compared with a year ago. It
did show, however, that assets in
the form of machinery and motor
vehicles increased 3 per cent dur-
ing the year. Benson argues that
this fact shows a "definite" im-
provement in farm buying power.
The bulletin also showed that
farm assets in the form of cur-
rency and bank deposits changed
little, but that investment in U.S.
savings bonds ; increased 2.1 per
cent.
Benson reports that farmers
have only two dollars in debts for
each $100 of assets. But his critics
point to the Federal Reserve bul-
letin statement that the farm real
estate debt increased nine per cent
and non - real estate debts in-
creased one per cent during 1956.
