COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS

Wauseon Village Council met in
regular session last Monday evening,
all members of the Council present
Minutes of the last regular meeting
were read and approved.
An ordinance to improve North
Fulton Street from Willow Street to
Linfoot street by paving the central
"a feet thereof with reinforced con-
crete with integral curb, was pre-
sented and passed under suspension
of the rules.
Mr.. H. D. Meister presented a
claim for legal publication pertain
ing to the proposed improvement of
West Chestnut Street in 1913. The
Council of that year received a petit
ton from the property owners on
West Chestnut Street asking for the
improvement of that street; the nee
essary legislation was enacted and
the publications required by law
made but inasmuch as the improve
ment was never made no provision
was made for funds with which to
pay the expenses of such improve
ment.
The publishers who printed the
legal publications, filed their proofs
of publication" and bills for same in
due form, but there was no fund
from which they could be paid and
they have been waiting for their
money. The council decided that
Mr.. Meister's claim was a valid one
and voted to pay the bill as soon as
there was money in the village treas
ury with which to pay it. That
phrase, when we get the money"
is quite common in the council cham
ber now days; and it is significant:
There is and has been for some time
past woeful lack of money in the
village treasury among the reasons
is that in the years gone by there
have been many improvements made
to pay for which bonds of the Village
have been issued and the payments
on principal and interest must be
met. There is scarcely an improve
ment made but some part of the cost
of such Improvement falls upon the
Village and cannot be assessed di-
rectly to the property owners. The
lighting of the town, police protec-
tion, street cleaning and mainten.
ance and the ridiculously low sal.
aries paid to the village officials al
combine to make an amount that
leaves a mighty small margin on the
total received from taxation, and
that margin soon melts away wher
the absolute needs of the communitS
are met.
! There are many things that
OUGHT to be done in town; things
that seem absolutely necessary, es.
sential to the health, safety and vel
being of the community; that can.
not be done for the simple reason
that there is no money to pay fol-
having them DONE There is hardly
a meeting of the council that large
jportion of the session is not devoted
to study and struggle to figure
out how to make available funds tc
cover the pressing current obliga.
tions of the town. These facts
ought to be known and considered
by every citizen of the town. Next

MARY ANN STRANAHAN

Mary Ann Frazer, daughter of
William and Martha Frazer was born
in Medina, Lenawee County, Michi-
gan October l, 1856. She was united
in marriage to Albert Stranahan in
Wauseon Ohio, July %, 1882. Her
husband died December 1, 1918. She
was an unusually devout and faithful
Christian. A record written in her
own hand states that she was con-
verted February 8, 1880 and united
with the Methodist Church of Wau-
seon March 21, 1880. She became
active in the church frequently lead
ing the prayer meeting in addition
to her work in the Sunday School.
She was the teacher of the Senior
Bible Class for eleven years without
missing Sunday.
She was stricken January 27, 1908
and has never walked since. During
all these years her Christian faith
has held sure, it deepened and ma
tured. Out of the trial of her faith
issued patience more perfect and
beautiful to see. She who was a
loving and faithful wife and mother
has thus left an added benediction
to others. She died July 25, 1921,
aged "a years, months and "a days.
There are three children living
Samuel A.. Stranahan of Flint, Mich.
Mrs. Holly A. Case of Wauseon and

CALLS FOR USE OF
BETTER Fertilizer

Soils Workers Says Figures On Tag
Should Add to at Least IA
Twenty companies supplying Ohio
with fertilizer last year report that
of 10000 tons used, $4,000 tons was
of low analysis, containing totals of
less than IA percent plant food ma
terials.
Firman E. Bear, head of the De-
partment of Soils, the Ohio State
University, devotes the current
Timely Soil Topics" issued month
ly by the department, to discussion
of this condition and to plea that
farmers save both cash and their
backs by buying high-analysis COM
pounds this fall and next spring.
"Ohio has been called a grade
state by the fertilizer people," says
DIR. Bear. "Nine thousand tons of
1-8-1 containing total of but 10 per
cent nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash was used in the state last
year.

when fertilizer were credited with

quite apparent that the more con

of the cost of fertilizer lies in these

Any fertilizer with less than l.

MUST FILE SWORN
!. STATEMENT
| OF OWNERSHIP

There has been some difference of
opinion in regard to the necessity of
filing sworn statement of ownership
OF motor vehicles under the Atwood
aw which becomes operative Aug
I st 18th.
{ Jerk of Courts, George E. Gorsuch
/ as recently received instructions
I ON the State Registrar of Automo-
i lies to the effect; that owners OF
motor vehicles known as second hand
or used vehicles MUST FILE
SWORN STATEMENT OF OWN
ERSHIP WITH THE CLERK OF
ICOURTS.
Following is copy of that por-
ton of the letter of the State Regis
trar relating to this matter:
''The Attorney General has
ruled that sworn statement of
ownership shall be filed with the
County Clerk only by owners of
vehicles known as second hand
or used vehicles; the possession
of which they obtained by pur-
chase, trade or gift from an in
dividual or second hand dealer;
motor vehicles owned by persons
who originally purchased the
same from manufacturer or
manufacturers agent prior to
the passage of this act, need not
file a sworn statement of owner
ship"
| Clerk of Courts, George E. Cor.
such has supply of the necessary
blanks and his office is now ready t.
file the sworn statements above re
ferrde to. Careful compliance with
! the Atwood Law will in our opinion
effectively check the theft Of automo
biles.
