ORDER

We grant leave to appeal and Sua sponte vacate the decision of the Court of , appeals reported at 50 Mich.App. 382, 213 N.W.2d 217 (1973).

On the authority of Detroit Police Officers Association v. City of Detroit, 391 Mich. 44, 214 N.W.2d 803 (1974), we hold that a residency requirement is a mandatory subject of collective bargaining.

We remand to the Court of Appeals for reconsideration, in light of D.P.O.A. v. City of Detroit, Supra, of the question whether the continuation of a civilian trial board for policemen is a 'mandatory', 'permissive' or 'illegal' subject of collective bargaining.

The motion by Michigan AFL-CIO to file a brief amicus curiae becomes thereby moot and is denied.
