Vacant House Burns In Suspected Arson On Mooreville Road
A vacant tenant house on Mooreville Road owned by Ernest Zahn burned Saturday night in a blaze investigators label possibly set. Assistant Fire Chief Ray Alber said evidence for a specific cause was lacking. Nearby, a gas meter leak fueled a Sunday blaze at Rosie Mezo’s home on East Michigan Avenue, likely from a storm lightning strike. A Michigan Consolidated Gas Co. crew contained that fire before Saline firefighters arrived. A Ford Motor Co. plant fire Tuesday caused only minor damage before Saline crew could respond.

Local Fair Housing Bill Studied by Saline Group
Fourteen residents met at the Paul Woods home to read Saline’s proposed Fair Housing ordinance and discuss it. Bill Dwyer of the Michigan Civil Rights Commission compared the local measure with state statute and noted similar aims and reduced state caseload. The Saline ordinance, under council review, would take effect only after the state statute becomes effective on November 14 and would create a five member local commission with its own rules.
