Last September, Horkey closed the paper for a week to save money and temporarily laid off its 15 full-time and part-time employees. He was one of four employees left Thursday when the board informed them of its decision to stop publishing. Horkey said sagging subscriptions circulation is under 7,000 and declining advertising revenues have left the paper acutely in need of cash. Despite fund-raising efforts and a search for new investors, "we can't get out of the red," he said.
"We just couldn't get enough advertising to make this thing go, so we decided rather than to get more into debt it was better to leave it up to the stockholders."

It was especially significant because Patterson, former Oakland County prosecutor and GOP Polish newspaper suspended CHRISTOPHER COOK Free Press Staff Writer The board of directors of the Polish Daily News has suspended publication pending a stockholders' meeting July 18 to decide whether to let the ailing 86-year-old newspaper die in its sleep. The Polish Daily News has shrunk steadily during the last 20 years, going, despite its name, to weekly publication.
Last week's issue was only six pages, three in Polish and three in English. "It doesn't look good," Don Horkey, the 53-year-old general manager and English language editor, said Friday. "We're just a victim of changing times. We were born in a time of immigrants, when there was a strong identifiable Polish community and thriving Polish parishes in Detroit. It has all dispersed.

It may just be that we have to face unto Zug Island pact called city boost BY DENNIS NIEMIEC Free Press Staff Writer River Rouge and state negotiators have agreed on a tax plan for a $250- million co*ke-producing facility that would help the city eliminate its million deficit, officials said Friday. The Great Lakes Division of National Steel would receive an eightyear abatement to halve its taxes if it proceeds with plans to build the facility on Zug Island, according to the agreement. The city would use payments from Great Lakes to issue long-term bonds that would erase the debt, deputy State Treasurer Jay Rising said.
Great Lakes, the city's largest taxpayer, has until Nov. 30 to secure permits and approval from its board of directors to proceed with the project, said Mayor Dan Cooney. When the proposal was detailed in January, company spokesman Michael Dunn said the plant would include 86 ovens to convert coal into co*ke on a 10- acre site. co*ke is used to make iron and steel. Dunn said the plant, which would create more than 90 jobs, would solidify the company's role in the area.
With about 5,000 employees, Great Lakes already operates three blast furnaces and one plant on the 250-acre island. Operations at the new plant would begin in March 1992. Great Lakes has tentatively agreed to transfer land for development of a municipal marina; help develop a recycling operation on Zug Island, and provide jobs for River Rouge residents at the co*ke facility. Rising said state officials continue to review the proposed appointment of a financial manager to further help River Rouge with its budget problems. The Michigan Municipal Bond Authority will assist in marketing the city's bonds if Great Lakes proceeds with the project, Rising said.
