"It would create a super governmental authority with power to destroy other forms of local government," Lewis told the board of supervisors. The board did not act on the prosecutor's ereportre but its members obviously stunned by his message. "We'll have to fight to maintain government," said Gerald Shepard, board chairman. "If we don't get busy and do something, we're not going to have good a county government as we have now," added Willard Krebel of Riley Township. Krebel was a member of a home rule advisory committee for the constitutional convention.

Romney's committee has recommended laws which would allow counties to become sort super cities with approval of their voters. MANY CHANGES POSSIBLE Under provisions of the plan presented to the governor last week, counties could abolish or retain such constitutional officers as sheriff, prosecutor and county clerk. It could also retain or reorganize existing county departments established under present law. Legislative authority would be vested in a board of supervisors which could be elected or appointed. It was not a unanimous however.

D. Hale Brake of Stanton wrote one-man minority report accusing the committee of plotting destruction of the county's constitutional role as an arm of state government. Brake is head of the education division of the Michigan Association Supervisors and a former constitutional convention delegate. Lewis said he sided with Brake and quoted him as saying, "One of the best ways to corrupt government is to get control of police." 'RAW AND WILD' wiThe plan a is liberal pretty report raw with and few safeguards," the prosecutor reported. "Pressure groups could devise innocuous plans and take over all of your past experiences with government could be jeopardized." Lewis said he doubted that the proposal would be passed in its present form, but he urged the supervisors to contact their state and express their views.

John M. Setterington of Essex Township, was SO shaken by the prosecutor's report that he hesitated to consider other matters before the board. "What's the he asked. all this is going to be charged there's no reason to continue." The home rule issue is expected to result in a long, hard legislative battle. Gov.

Romney has urged adoption of laws this year to implement home rule provisions of the new constitution. Mackie to Speak At Portland C-C Dinner Thursday PORTLAND State Highway Commissioner John C.
