missioners held Monday, July 8, the
commissioners passed resolution
to employ William Mills & Sons,
architects, of Nelsonville, to make
plans for the remodeling and re-
pairing Of the court house Just

repairing the floors, new floor cover
'ings, new heating plant, erecting
fire escapes, some new office equip

ing. Should the money hold out,
further improvements suggested
would be to remodel the common
pleas court room; and to change
partitions on the first floor, so that
the probate judges office would be
enlarged SO as to take about half
of the recorders office, and the 9TH
er half of the present recorders Of
fee be made a part of the present
sheriff's office, to be used for the
recorder, and the sheriff's office be

ACTION BEGUN TO COMPLETE
STREET IMPROVEMENT

A special meeting of the village
council was held Monday evening,
the purpose of which was to begin
action looking to the completion of
the remaining streets of the towns
in all about % blocks. A reso-
luton was passed to find ways and
means of completing same. 1t is
stated that law was passed last
year, which gives village councils,
with the consent of the state tax
commission, permission to issue
bonds up to one percent of the tax
duplicate without vote Of the
people. This would raise approxi-
mately $4,000, and council can also
estimate gas tax for two years,
which would yield $4,000 more.
This would give the village 100000
with which to match the WPA
funds of about 100000. 1t is esti-
mated the project will cost $4,000.

games, one in the morning and the
other in the afternoon, the Twin
Cities scores were on the small end
of both games. The forenoon game
was with the colored All-Stars of

afternoon the locals battled with

In the evening party was held
at Rocky Glen sanatorium. Ivan

DRIVERS FOLLOWING FIRE
TRUCKS HANDICAP THE
FIRE DEPARTMENT

According to Fire Chief Frank
Howard the motorists of our twin
cities are making it very hard for
the local firemen to function at their
best. In almost every case, when
the siren sounds drivers of autos
rush to the fire station regardless
of whether space is left for. the fire.
men to secure parking space for
their own cars, and SO impede the
progress of members of the volun-
teer fire department that they are
seriously handicapped in their ef-
forts to respond quickly to an
alarm.
Many drivers thoughtlessIy take
up parking space needed for the
cars of the members of the fire COM
pany, and in many cases drivers se-
cure information as to the origin of
the alarm and are on the ground,
with cars parked where the firemen
cannot get to the scene of disturb
ance (whether fire or drowing)
without having to move, or request
the drivers to move their autos.
This, of course, takes valuable time
from the firemen in getting into ac-
ton.
A case in point was the recent.
fire at Rocky Glen sanatorium,
where private cars were so congest-
ed that the trucks could hardly get
to the fire, and fremen who did
not arrive at the fire station before
the trucks left were compelled to
park blocks away and walk to the
scene of the fire.
1t is my mind to request council
to pass an ordinance requiring all
moving traffic to stop, or drive to
the curb, until direction of fire
trucks is ascertained, and traffic in
direction the trucks are going re-
main halted until after the trucks
have passed; and also that private
cars may not follow closer than
three blocks after the trucks have
passed This is in accordance with
state regulations, and if passed Will
be vigorously enforced.
In order to facilitate the work Of
the firemen, the entire membership
of the department was deputized as
special police last evening, with
theAadmonition that their authority
extends only during action as a fire
company.
We have esEithout doubt, one Of
the most efficient volunteer fire
companies in the state, and they de-
serve our full cooperation. The
members of the fire company are
not unmindful of the valuable as
sistance rendered by the citizens of
the community, and do not wish
anyone to construe this action as
not wanting the people to attend
these alarms-but in doing so,
please leave the area necessary for
prompt action vacant Park your
cars away from the scene.
