SEWER BALLOT
To Be SEPARATE
Will Not Appear On Same
Ticket as Municipal Candi-
dates, Nov. Z
Proposed Installation Would
Eliminate Stream Pollu-
tion, Claim

Bluffton's proposed sewage bond is
sue which will be decided at the fall
election will be one of forty-one or
more different ballots to be issued to
voters of Allen county on Tuesday,
November 7.
Ballots containing the sewage bond
issue proposal will be separate from
the ticket containing names of can
didates for municipal offices.
Arrangements for placing the mat
ter on the ballot and submitting the
proposal to decision of electors were
made by the town council following
protests received from local residents
during the summer complaining of
the condition of Riley creeks said due
to stream pollution.
Eliminate Pollution and Odor, Claim
Installation of a sewerage system
will eliminate the present stream pol
luton and odor, it is said by repre-
sentatives of Champe, Finkbeiner and
Associates, Toledo engineering firm
who appeared before the council in
the matter.
Sewage disposal, under the system
proposed by the Toledo engineers
would effectually do away with dis
comfort caused by domestic and dairy
wastes now poured into the streams
it is asserted.
The proposed system, it is also de-
clared, will make the present cess
pools unnecessary and do away with
cleaning and maintenance costs.
Decrease Mosquitoes
While the proposed sewage system
would not entirely eliminate Bluffton's
MOSQUITO nuisance, it is declared by
engineers that the trouble would bf
materially lessened thru cleanupgoi
the streams.
Of the estimated cost of the system
placed at 100000, one-fourth woul6
be paid by the town on condition Of
three-fourths being supplied thru fed.
eral WPA funds.
Present plans for financing the
towns share is to authorize $4,000
in bonds at the November election t.
be met thru a tax levy and $4,000 il
bonds to be paid thru service charg'
of approximately fifty cents pc
month by each property tapping int
the system. A part of the servic'
charge paid by property owners woul,
also be used for operating purposes.
In order to carry at the election
however, the $4,000 proposed bone
issue must receive not less than 6!
per cent of the total vote cast.

Second Crop

I'D Steiner, of South Main

cherries are growing on branches
