TABLES Gks QUESTION;
APPOINTS Dep. MARSHAL

The regular monthly meeting of
council Tuesday night was of short
| duration. The gas rate raise question
had to be tabled again, there were not
many bills to be passed upon and no
new business.
By invitation of the Medina Gas &
Fuel Co., members of council went to
the Office OF the company at Wooster,
Monday afternoon, to meet with the
company officials and two members of
the State Utilities Commission, the
latter having been sent to Wooster to
get facts and figures from the COM
pany on which to base an opinion as
to whether the company is justified
in asking for an increase in its rates.
1t is reported that the commission
members were unable to get just the
facts they were after at that time, but
were given assurance that the infor-
nation would be furnished them soon.
|, Meanwhile the council members were
entertained by the gas company of
ficials until car time, arriving home
at midnight. Which explains why the
question was tabled again Tuesday
night.
Since Marshal Hange was recently
given an increase in salary by the To-
cal business men as their nightwatch,
from $10G month to $125, he refused
to longer serve as marshal hence it
deNolved upon the mayor to appoint a
successor. Fred w. Eckert was ten
dered the appointment, under the title
deputy marshal, and also the appoint
ment Of village nightwatch. The
latter office carries a salary of $40 a
month, @hile compensation for the
duties of marshal or deputy is entire
ly of fees.
Residents of North Broadway pc
titioned council to finish the paving
of that street with grout filler if tar
is not available, the main thing being
to get the work completed. It ap-
pears that the tar is already on the
street, but a kettle which is said to
have been shipped at Youngstown on
Sept. "a has not yet arrived, which the
contractor gives as the reason for the
paving being held up SO long.
For the nth time residents of North
Court street near Union, again re-
quested counCil to provide an addition
al light for that neighborhood, but
without success, as there is no money
to do it with, the village being about
$500 in debt for lighting at the pres
ent time.
