Ht'l that their corporate entity is not so ideal as they thought it would be a year ago when they voted to form the district, first of Its kind in Michigan.

A strong protest from the residents is expected Monday night when the Genesee County tax-allocation board meets to pass on the request of the metropolitan district's governing board to be permitted to levy a 4.5-mill tax this year. The proposed levy, along with school and county taxes, would be in excess of the 15 mills to which operating taxes in Flint and the unincorporated sections of the county are limited. Numerous residents in the district are up in arms, charging that when they voted last August to form the district they did it with the understanding that taxes would be limited to 15 mills.

Jack Lande, assistant prosecutor, ruled that the five-mill limitation set up in the district's charter holds, in spite of the 1932 constitutional amendment establishing the fifteen-mill limitation.

A municipal water system, on which construction was started shortly after the district was incorporated, will be put in operation late in August. Many families plan to ignore the new system and will continue to use their private wells in protest against the proposed tax rate, residents of the district said.
