COUNCIL TO TALK
HARD SURFACINC
OF Lawn AVENUE
Proposal Slated to Come Before
Council at Meeting Monday
Night
Resurfacing of Cherry Street
May be Undertaken if
Council Approves

Proposed re-surfacing of Lawn
and Cherry street will be discussed
at next Mondays meeting of the
town council, and work will be COM
pleted this summer if approval is
voted
Asphalt surfaces would be placed on
both thorofares under the plans which
are to be presented to the councilmen.
Lawn avenue one of the longest un-
paved streets in the town, will be sur
faced from Kibler to Riley street, a
distance of nearly one mile, if the
proposal is approved.
Talk Cherry Street Surfacing
Re-surfacing of Cherry street is
suggested from it's intersection with
Main street to the Nickel Plate rail-
road crossing. This would entail
placing asphalt surface over the pres
ent brick pavement.
A summer street improvement pro-
gram was launched in the town last
week when $1,000 gallons Of prime
coat road oil were put on alleys, little.
used streets which had not been treat
ed previously, and dust along the
borders of streets which have hard
surfaces.
Oil had to be used instead of tar
because these alleys and streets had
not been treated before. Ii is impos-
sible to apply tar and stone chip
surface until an oil base has been
built up with road oil, it was explain
ed.

HEAT WAVE BRINGS
INCREASED DEMAND
ON WATER SUPPLY
Another Week of Unreasonable
Weather Might Bring Water
Shortage Here
Three Wells Pumped Day and
Night Unable to Keep Pace
With Consumption

Another week of the scorching mid
summer heat which has gripped the
district for the last IA days will bring
Bluffton face to face with its first
water shortage in nearly two decades.
Altho there is no immediate danger
of lack of water, John w. Swisher,
superintendent of the municipal light
and water plant, reported that another
seven days of severe heat will bring
requests for residents of the town to
conserve water in order to assure
enough for home consumption and
fire protection.
Three large wells at the water
works have been pumped day and
night for the last two weeks, and al
tho their aggregate capacity is in ex-
cess of 100000 gallons daily the sup
ply of water in the plants reservoirs
is diminishing.
Had Large Reserve
Only the fact that the town had a
large reserve in the reservoirs when
the heat wave struck has kept Bluff
ton from a shortage, and it will re-
quire break in the weather within
the next week to prevent that occur
ence.
Last Friday, with shower during
the afternoon, was the only day on
which the volume of water pumped
from wells has equalled the amount
used by patrons it was reported by
Superintendent Swisher.
Bluffton's output of water is not
metered at the plant and it is impos-
sible to determine what the towns
daily consumption has been during
the extended heat wave. 1t has been
considerably in excess of 100000 gal
Ions each "a hours, however, consid-
ering that the output of the wells has
! not been sufficient to maintain the
reservoir at a constant level.
Previous Shortages Recalled
L
No water shortages have been ex
perienced by Bluffton in nearly two
decades, altho it was formerly com
mon for extended periods of dry
weather to result in requests for res
idents of the town to discontinue
sprinkling of lawns and gardens il
order to conserve the water.
Increased facilities at the plan
have made it possible to keep mor'
water in reserve and also to pump il
greater volume, but this summer
unusually long heat wave is begin
ming to cut into the supply on hand il
manner that has not been exper
fenced for 10 or IL years.

Fire Alarms Come
From TIUO Garages

Gasoline fires in two garages dur
ing the past week were believed to
have been indirectly due to the ex-
treme heat. In both cases gasoline
in containers ignited while cars were
undergoing repairs.
The fires were extinguished by the
department and damage was small.
The first alarm came last Thurs
day morning from the Augsburger
garage at the rear of the Stanley
Basinger funeral home. Gasoline and
oil in a pan under a truck caught
fire while the truck was being re-
paired.
The second alarm came Tuesday
morning when gasoline in con-
tainer ignited while a car was being
cleaned at. the Bixel Motor sales
garage.

All Exposed Bodies of Water
Sprayed Three Times
Each Week
1000 Gallons Insecticide Used ;
Mosquitoes Killed in
Larvae Stage

It's no mere quirk of fate that
Bluffton this summer has fewer mos
quitoes than at any time in the men,
ory of most of the towns inhabi-
tants.
Scientific spraying of all exposed
bodies of water, on regular sched-
ule, is responsible for the compara-
tive freedom from the troublesome
insect pests which in recent years
have assailed Bluffton in swarms
during the summer months.
That the villages first mosquito
control campaign very definitely is a
success is attested to by enthusiastic
reports from persons who this year
can sit outside in the evenings with
out being bothered by biting mosqui-
toes.
Careful planning, surveys of spots
where mosquito larvae are most apt
to breed and regularly scheduled
spraying have brought about Bluff
toms transition from a mosquito
ridden town to one comparatively
free of the pests.
OYER IN CHARGE
Robert Oyer, medical studen
now on his summer vacation, is II
charge of the control activities
working under the direction of Mayor
Wilbur A. Howe and the community
mosquito control committee.
Spraying of Big and Little Riley
creeks and other bodies of water
where mosquitoes may breed was
started late in May, and will be con.
tinued until the first frost, according
to present plans.
Oyer makes daily surveys to spoi
the mosquito larvae, or wrigglers, as
