Want santoy Road Improved

AS is noted in the report of the
commissioners transactions at their
meeting Tuesday, a delegation was.
present from Deerfeld township, and
Santoy, asking for the improvement
of that portion of the road in Nor
gan county on the road from San
toy to the New Lexington pike. We
understand that Perry county will
build its share of the road, if Nor
gan county comes across with its
part. The total distance is about
two miles, and the estimated cost
per mile is about $500. The dele
gates were met with delegation of
the business men of the two towns,
asking for this road. No action was
taken by the commissioners. 1t is
stated that the monthly pay roll of
Santoy vicinity is $4,000, and with
a good road, large part of it would
most likely be spent with the bus
mess firms of the two towns.

least. Mr.. Carter returns to his
store, of the firm of McKeown &

Mr.. Trash, the new treasurer, is
Thoroughly competent to look after

Mayor Refuses To Sign Ordinance

At meeting of the city council
Wednesday evening, an ordinance
was passed by council members, Civ
ing the Ohio Power Co. fifty year
franchise. A ten year rate ordi-
nance was also passed, and an ordi-
nance calling for bids for street
lighting. Mr.. S. H. Beadle who rep
resents the Ohio Power Co., was
present and answered many ques-
tions put to him by the mayor and
members of council. However after
council adjourned. Mayor McKibben
refused to sign the ordinances. 1t is
most likely that they will be passed
over his veto. Malta village recently
passed similar ordinances and they
were signed by the mayor there. AS
has been stated, the Ohio Power Co.
has an option on the purchase of the
local electric light plant. the pur-
chase of which would be practical
ly assured if the ordinances are pass
ed, and in which event the Ohio
Power Co. will supply electricity for
the two towns. We feel that the
two towns would be greatly benefited
in having electricity furnished by the
Ohio Power Co.

Receives Scholarship Grade

Mr.. Hugh James Donahue of this
place has just received word that he
has won a scholarship grade at Har-
ward university, Cambridge, Mass,
for work done lasttyear. To receive
this pupils yearly grade as well as
the final examination grade must be
up to a certain standard, which is
very high. To receive such a grade
from Harvard is a signal honor, IN
addition to the financial aspect of it,
which means even better than a free
scholarship. About the middle of
last year Mr.. Donahue was put on
the Deans list, which gave him spe-
cial privileges. He is taking a Bache-
lor of Arts course, and leaves Sept.
27 to begin his junior year.

under the law must be used for the
sole purpose of maintaining and re-
pairing the public streets and roads
within the village, and cannot be
used for any other purpose, except
that if the village is on the line of
an inter-county highway or main
market road, one-sixth of the
amount shall be used by village in
maintenance and repair of said in
|ter-county highway or main market
road, and the balance may be used
on other streets and roads.
