Town To Vote On
Sewerage System
This Fall
Continued from page ID


action, sentiment expressed at the
meeting indicated the body is in
favor of presenting the matter to
the voters for the third time, and
that preliminary negotiations will be
hurried to make arrangements for
vote on the bond issue.
Engineers Engaged
At Mondays meeting the engineer
ing firm of Champe, Finkbeiner and
Associates, of Toledo, was retained
to prepare two estimates; one the
cost of an intercepting sewer system,
and the other for a complete system
covering the entire town. In each
case a disposal plant also would be
erected.
Both estimates will be obtained in
order to show the difference in price
between completely new system,
and that earlier proposed whereby
intercepting sewers would run along
the stream banks and present private
sewers would empty into them.
c. S. Winkbeiner, member of the
engineering firm, who attended Mon
days meeting, told the council that
an intercepting sewerage system
would adequately take care of the
disposal of the Page Dairy waste.
Efficient System
He said the system would be from
72 to 95 per cent efficient, and that
in addition to disposing of sewerage
improved conditions would material
ly reduce the prevalence of mosqui-
toes.
Estimates are to be presented i'm
mediately by the engineering firm to
permit the completion of preliminary
legal steps necessary to have the
bond issue question included on the
November ballot. AS soon as the
estimates are received the council
will meet to take official action in
the matter of presenting the issue to
the voters.
| Application to place the issue on
the ballot at the November election
must be made with the County
Election Board by Sept. s.
For their services the engineering
firm will receive $125. In approx
ing the survey, the vote of the
council was unanimous, M. M. Bogart
not voting because of his absence on
a vacation.
I With a property valuation of
$2,266,675, and outstanding bonds of
$32,450, Bluffton can issue I'D to
$8O,S33 in bonds without exceeding
the five per cent limitation, it was
pointed out at Mondays meeting.
Cost About $4,000
1t has been roughly estimated that
system constructed under the WPA
program would cost the town about
| $4,000, which represents 25 per cent
of total of 100000. On the basis
of 20-year bonds at three per cent,
a tax levy of 21a mills would be
needed, it was unofficially estimated.
For approval of the bond issue a
65 per cent vote would be required.
Construction of the system, however,
would be contingent on receiving
WPA assistance in the form of
labor, about 200 to $50 men to be
employed thru the winter.
i A committee representing the
Lions club which has approved the
sewage disposal program attended
the council meeting and spoke in
favor of the proposal. Members of
! the committee wereN. E. Byers, C.
G. Coburn, A. E. Lichtenwalter and
Elmer Short.

TOlUn Experiences
Fall In Summer

Altho fall is not due for another
month, the weather Monday and
Tuesday had the tang of autumnal
atmosphere, reminding Blufton area
residents of falling leaves, bonfres,
frost and cheering crowds at the
stadium.
Monday especially was a typical
autumn day, and the thermometer
did not rise above the 75-degree mark
at any time. Heavier clothing felt
good, and closed doors were neces-
sary for warmth and comfort. At
midnight the mercury stood at 81.
Tuesdays weather was slightly
warmer, but was still more like
fall than the height of the summer
season.

waste it on themselves.

as to give it considerable standing
in the mind Of this observer.
AS the story goes, Fountain has
never forgiven Gravely for the to-
bacc mans support Of EhrnghauS
in the heated primaries Of 1882 and
the Fountain candidacy for the gov
ernship this time is projected purely
and simply as a "spite" OF nuisance
form of guerrilla warfare against
Gravely.
In short, Dick is said to be dead set
on getting even" with L. Lee and
to be willing to go to almost any
lengths in order to accomplish TINS
fell purpose.
One other feature Of the report as
it comes to this bureau, is that Foun-
tain does not really believe That
Gravely will ever get around to M
ing his statement Of intentions WIN
the State Board of Eelcctions and de-
posting herewith the Sll0 fee ana
it should be noted that the Fountain
threat is "to file the same day Grave
ly does" and not "to announce the
same day Gravely does"
But after all, the best that can be
said for the whole affair is, that's
interesting, if true.

ROTARY MEETING is
SENT BY TELEV1SlON

Rotary history was made on FIJI
day. when a Rotary club meeting was
telecast for the first time. The Ro-
tary Clubs of Troy, Albany, and
Schenectady, New York, held sinful
taneous evening meetings at which
were placed teleVision receivers. A
special program entitled Rotary S
First Meeting by Television' began
simultaneously at each Of the clubs,
at 900 D. M, z. S. t. The televlslon
portion of the program emanated
from the General Electric Company
new studios in Schenectady and con-
sisted of a group singing led by
special songleader and talks by Paul
P Harris, founder and president
emeritus; Walter D. Head, president;
and Chesley R. Perry, secretary, OF
Rotary International. The telecast
began at 700 p. M, E. S. T., and
presented a program that finds its
counterpart in the meetings of almost
every Rotary club-the portion Of
the club program which generally
emanates from the speakers table.
This is believed to have been the
first meeting of its kind-Where
speakers from a single platform have
addressed, and have been seen at,
Rotary meetings in more than one
city.
