  • Urban Renewal: A Factual Report

    Prepared by Ann Arbor’s City Council with funding from the federal Urban Renewal Survey and Planning Advance, this document describes the potential redevelopment of the North Central area of the city. As is made clear through maps, proposed housing policies, and a lot-by-lot breakdown of envisioned governmental intervention, the plan of Ann Arbor officials was to exert control over a neighborhood which housed the majority of the city’s Black residents. Of particular note is the government’s preparations for seizing the land of any residents who do not comply with the city’s codes, rendering any objection to urban renewal as grounds for losing one’s property.

  • Vegetables

    Vegetables. Few things are more commonly cooked than vegetables, and few things are served more often in an unwholesome and unpalatable form. It is too often thought and said that "any one can cook vegetables," and it is true that few cook them well. Of course, much depends on the freshness and quality of the vegetables themselves, even when well cooked. Green vegetables are never so fine as when freshly gathered, and all vegetables are best in their season, the forced ones lacking in quality and flavor. For chemical reasons cook young green vegetables in hard salted water, and dry vegetables, as dry peas, lima and other beans in soft water, without salt. Put them on in freshly boiling water, boil continuously until tender and drain at once. Have them neither underdone or overdone, if you would have them perfect. Especially is this true of potatoes. Wilted green vegetables may be freshened by sprinkling with cold water. Old potatoes may be improved by soaking in cold water for several hours. Dried beans and peas should be soaked over night in soft water. To keep celery and lettuce fresh roll in a damp napkin and place on ice. When green peas are growing old add a pinch of Wyandotte soda to make them tender. TIMETABLE FOR COOKING VEGETABLES. Thirty minutes:---asparagus, corn, macaroni, mushrooms, peas, boiled potatoes, tomatoes, lettuce. 45 minutes:---young beets, carrots, parsnips, turnips, baked potatoes, rice. 1 hour:---artichokes, new cabbage, string beans, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, greens, salsify, new onions, winter squash. 2 hours:---winter cabbage, carrots, parsnips, turnips, onions. 3 to 5 hours:---old beets. 5 to 8 hours:---dried beans, dried peas, hominy, etc. Mrs. R.
