Mrs. Eugene Bell Suffers
Painful Burns

Mrs. Lucy Bell, wife of Eugene
Bell, was quite painfully burned
Tuesday afternoon She was in the
act of lighting a gas furnace, when
accumulated gas exploded from
match she had struck, after turning
on the gas, without first having
lighted the pilot, causing the gas to
ignite, which burned both of her
hands. right shoulder, back, breast.
and side of her face The slip and
waist she wore were practically
burned off, and the fact that she
was wearing wooden skirt which
did not ignite, perhaps saved her
from very serious burns. Mrs. Bell
succeeded in putting out the fire
which burned her clothing. She
suffered much from shock, and
while her burns are painful. they
are not regarded as serious, and it
is hardly thought that they will
leave scars.

Conference Concerning Proposed
Dam At East Branch

approximately 20 members of
the local Rotary club met with the
KiwaEis club of Glouster, Tuesday,
in the interest of the suggested con-
struction of dam at the mouth Of
East branch of Sunday creek. Del
egations were also present from
other places in Athens county. and
from Perry county, and the county
commissioners and engineers from
Morgan and Athens counties were
present, all cooperating in the mat
ter. A party from the state de-
partment was present and went over
the proposition. explaining what all
would be involved in such project.
The dam would be perhaps SO feet
high, and would make a lake cover
ing 5000 to 10000 acres, most of
which would be in Morgan county.
although some would be in Perry
and Athens counties. The principal
purpose is to form lake about
which would be a game preserve,
and lake for park purposes. We un-
derstand that for such purposes the
government cannot pay for land
more than SIS per acre.
Those who favor the project
claim that while it would remove
several thousands of dollars from
our tax duplicate, in time the coun-
ty would not suffer any loss from
it. since it is reasoned that the
wealth it would create as a resort.
would bring in more tax revenue
than the tax on the land does at
present
