Hello, Last Tuesday the Department of History, Arts, and Libraries (HAL) Subcommittee of the State Senate Appropriations Committee met concerning House Bill 5647. This bill has already passed the State House of Representatives and will soon be considered by the Senate. In the bill is a line item to give the Detroit Public Library $2,877,100. This is less than the library has received in past years due to the current fiscal crises in the state. To see the bill visit http://www.michiganlegislature.org and enter the bill number. In my testimony I said that the Advocates for the Burton Historical Collection would like to see the Detroit Public Library receive funding from the state, BUT not without adequate oversight. I then mentioned the allegations of mishandled funds, the whistleblower lawsuit, the ongoing audit of the library's finances, the violations of the Burton Endowment Fund, the backlog of uncataloged items, the recent resignation of the Director, the violations of the Open Meetings Act by the Detroit Library Commission, etc. In my statement I explained that the Burton is a popular department heavily used by non-Detroiters and that we would like to see some of the state money go to the Burton. Lastly, I closed with the suggestion that the proper oversight of the spending would include the hiring of a qualified financial officer, the selection of a new Director with several years experience running a public library system, and the replacement of the current Detroit Library Commission with one containing scholars, librarians, and archivists. If you want to have input into the bill, then please write to Senator Loren Bennett and tell him your concerns about state funds going to the Detroit Public Library given the current financial mess and alleged shady dealings. The Advocates do not want to hurt the library. We would like it to be funded, but we want the money to be accounted for and spent wisely. Please consider joining our letter writing campaign and ask Lansing to get involved in the oversight of state funds used by the library. Also, please send a copy of your letter to your local State Senator as well. Here is the contact information for Senator Bennett: By Mail: Senator Loren Bennett P.O. Box 30036 Lansing, MI 48909-7536 By E-Mail: SenLBennett@senate.state.mi.us By Telephone: (517) 373-7350 By Fax: (517) 373-9228 To contact your Michigan State Senator visit http://www.senate.state.mi.us and select "Find your Senator." If you want to testify in person, there is another subcommittee meeting next week, 3:00pm Tuesday 30 April 2002 on the third floor of the capitol in the old Supreme Court room.

I was looking at the Macomb Rootsweb site and I read the histories and under one of them I believe it was Utica it listed Lewis Drake as Director of the poor. What exactly was this position. Lewis had a large farm next to his brother Hiram who also had a large farm. Hiram was my great great great grandfather. Does anyone know anything of the Drakes or where there farms were or anything? clint drake, texas --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Hi Listers, Not sure if this is an appropriate method, but couldn't find a general list to send too. Over the course of researching my family history, I have created many documents for recording and publishing research findings. I recently finished creating MS Word documents for recording Census information for the: 1880 US Federal Census, 1900 US Federal Census,and 1894 Michigan State Census Thought some of you might be interested. The MS Word Census Forms can be found on my website below, in the "Forms" area. Hope they're useful.

It used to be a haven for the poor . If able they helped raise thier own food and there was an operating farm with anomals and crops. A self sufficient way to help the poor. As with most farm area today, encroachment /urban sprawl made the land to valuable and costly to farm as a business. It was converted to Macomb counties office needs and is the central office area for many ooperations in the county.Incl: Sheriff Dept. & jail. Courts, youth home, health dept., a hospitol for rehab. ,Martha T. Berry. This hasn't gotten to your question, but, the Macomb County Clerks office should hold the death cert. and possibly the Mt.Clemens library/geneology dept. http://www.macomb.lib.mi.us/mountclemens/ There is a lot to browse there with links to the clerks office.
