EXHIBIT 10(i)
                           MASTER NOTE            

Date:     June 26, 1997                      Tax I.D. #13-1024020

On or before June 25, 1998, For Value Received, the undersigned
(hereinafter called the "Borrower"), hereby promises to pay three
(3) business days following receipt of demand, to the order of
Comerica Bank (hereinafter called the "Lender"), at its office
where borrowed, the principal sum of $10,000,000 (Ten Million
U.S. Dollars) or the aggregate unpaid principal sum of all
advances which the Lender actually makes hereunder to the
Borrower, whichever amount is less, together with interest in
arrears payable on each Interest Due Date (as hereinafter
defined) at a rate computed on the basis of a 360 day year for
the actual number of days in each interest period, determined as
herein set forth.

Lender, at its sole discretion, is hereby authorized to make
advances under this Note upon telephonic or written communication
of a borrowing request from a duly authorized officer or
representative of Borrower.  At the time of each advance
hereunder, the Borrower and the Lender shall agree on the
maturity date for the payment of the principal amount of such
advance (in absence of earlier demand), the interest rate for
such advance and the dates interest on such advance shall be
payable (the "Interest Due Dates").  The Lender or other holder
shall be and is hereby authorized by the Borrower to set forth on
the reverse side of this Note, or on an attachment hereto: (1)
the amount and date of each advance made hereunder; (2) the
maturity date of each such advance (absent earlier demand); (3)
the interest rate for each such advance; (4) the Interest Due
Dates for each such advance; and (5) each payment of principal
received thereon and the date of such payment; provided, however,
any such notation or the failure to make any such notation shall
not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower with
respect to the repayment of all advances actually made hereunder. 
In the event of a good faith dispute among the parties to this
Note as to rate, the rate shall be the Prime Rate.

After this Note or any advance of this Note shall become due,
whether on demand or otherwise, the unpaid principal of this Note
shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 150% of the
Prime Rate not to exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable
law.  As used herein, "Prime Rate" refers to that interest rate
so denominated and set by the Lender from time to time as an
interest rate basis for borrowings.  The Prime Rate is one of
several interest rate bases used by the Lender.  The Lender lends
at rates above and below the Prime Rate.  Changes in the Prime
Rate shall be effective as of the day of each such change.

All payments of any advance hereunder shall be applied first to
accrued interest and then to principal.

The Borrower may prepay any advance hereunder prior to the
maturity date specified for such advance only with the consent or
upon the demand of the Lender.

No waiver by the Lender of any provision of this Note shall be
effective unless in writing.  Other than as set forth herein, all
parties to this Note, including makers, endorsers, sureties and
guarantors, whether bound by this or by separate instrument or
agreement, shall be jointly and severally liable for the
indebtedness evidenced by this Note and hereby (1) waive
presentment for payment, demand, protest, notice of nonpayment or
dishonor and of protest and any and all other notices and demands
whatsoever; (2) consent that at any time, or from time to time,
payment of any sum payable under this Note may be extended
without notice, whether for a definite or indefinite time; and
(3) agree to remain liable until the indebtedness evidenced
hereby is paid in full irrespective of any extension,
modification or renewal.  No conduct of the holder shall be
deemed a waiver or release of such liability, unless the holder
expressly releases such party in writing.  In the event the
indebtedness evidenced hereby is collected by or through an
attorney, the holder shall be entitled to recover reasonable
attorneys' fees and all other costs and expenses of collection. 
Time is of the essence.

This Note shall evidence all advances and payments of principal
made hereunder until it is surrendered to the Borrower by the
Lender, and it shall continue to be used even though there may be
periods prior to such surrender when no amount of principal or
interest is owing hereunder.

This Note, and the rights and obligations of the parties
hereunder, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF the Borrower has executed this Note under seal
the day and year set forth above.
