GROUND BROKE
FOR CLUBHOUSE
At Mercelina Park-Will BE a
Substantial and Attractive
Modern Structure.

Ground was broke last Monday by
Contractor II. B. Hughes for the big
club house at Mercelina Park and work
on the new structure will be pushed as
rapidly as possible. The new building
will be 80 by 9s feet, two stories high,
with an eight foot basement. The
basement of the building will be fitted
up with three apartments. One side of
the room will be used for a bowling
alley, while the rest of the space will
go to make up "a kitchen, dining room
and soft drink stand. The first floor
OF the building will be made into two
separate floor spaces. The center will
be an oval space for dancing, while
around the outside of the dancing pa
yilion will be an eight foot wide track
for roller skating. The upper or second
floor will consist of a balcony for spec
tators, a large assembly room and sew
eral private Office rooms. The build
ing is being erected on the highest part
of the Park grounds in the northeast
end or where the big tent was placed
during the first Chautauqua. The
building will be made permanent one
and so arranged that ii can be tightly
closed for winter use, the Park mana
gers arranging to install a heating
system to heat the big hall during the
winter months. Owing to the magni-
tude ofthe building it will be eimpossible
to complete II by the time of the open
ing of this years Chautauqua, but the
management of the park expect to have
II so far along that the basement and
first floor will be ready for temporary
use during this years big meet.
Several more cottages are going up
on the Park ground and the big grand
stand has been completely overhauled.
The old bath houses at the beach
have been torn down and one good
bbilding will be erected in
stead. People who attend the Chau-
tauqua this year will hardly find in
the New Mercelina Park any sem blance
of the old Chautauqua park and unkept
which have greeted the eye
heretofore.

Story of Merger Denied

According to a dispatch from Fort

Accident

Carol Stubbs, second son of DR.. and
Mrs. w. G. Stubs, narrowly escaped
death, but will possibly loose the sight
of his eyes as the result of an explosion
at the Champion Canning factory last
Friday afternoon shortly after four
o'clock.
Young Stubbs was looking after the
cooking of the peas, when one of the
large watts which he had closed up, ex-
ploded from too heavy pressure of
steam. AS he closed the lid on the vat
and put the heavy lid holders in place
he stopped to look at the steam guage,
and this fact possibly saved him from
being killed. AS the force of the ex-
plosion tore off the top of the big vat
the young man received the escaping
steam and peas in his face. The main
force of the explosion went skyward,
tearing a big hole in the roof of the
building, while cans in the part of the
building for filling were scattered in
all. Several other employees who were
on the ground a short distance from the
vats were knocked down but none seri-
ously injured.
His father was Immediately sum-
moned and other physicians called, and
after a consultation it was deemed ad-
visable to take him to the hospital at
Lima. Word was sent to the Western
Ohio Auto garage and Vining automo-
bile took the injured lad, accompanied
by his father, to Lima.

Tax Levy Coming Fiscal Year

Total corporation tax levy. 26.OO
Adding to this the State levy of .345
mills, the county of levy of 1865
mills, the school levy of 10 mills and
the township levy of l.5 mills, and we
have a total levy for the town of 5.l5
mills or $5.l5 on each one hundred dol
lars. This is So cents higher on the
hundred than last year, when the levy
was $3.50, and is the highest rate that
has confronted the taxpayers of the
city in the last FIVE years.
The big levy will cause kicks from
many property owners of the town,
but as 1t will raise only few hundred
dollars over the amount required to
run the town and pay off the bonds
and interest that fall due next year,
council could not see its way clear to
reduce the rate below the amount fixed.
There is a question raised, however,
as to the legality of the levy, because
of the fact that the law requires that
the levy be made by ordinance, which,
to be legalized, shall be passed by
three readings of council and pub
lished for two consecutive weeks in
two newspapers of opposite politics in
the village. While the levy was not
passed in the manner prescribed by
law, record has been made on the
ordinance journal to the effect that it
was done and certified to the County
Auditor in that manner.

WHAT ABOUT THEIR

Chicago says that thirty breweries, in
Guiding some of the largest in the
country, have joined with the Chicago
police in their crusade against the sell
ing of liquor in tenderloin resorts.
These brewers have given Police
Chief Steward written guarantee that
they will assist In preventing the sale
of Intoxicating liquors in all resorts in
the city and will not deliver beer to
any resort that has been placed under
the ban.
THE brewers have made it plain
that the administration of any large
city can prohibit the sale of liquors in
dens of vice if the administration so

of these people? Are they to be denied
their rights" simply because such
course is necessary to the good gov
ernment of Chicago?-Commoner.
