In Newark Soon

Major Charles w. Montgom-
cry, coordinator of civilian de-
fense in Licking county, an
nounced this week that in the
near future, Newark will have
several practice blackouts, pre-
ceded by "alerts."
Thomas w. Rolph, chief engin-
eer of the Holophane company,
has been appointed as a commit
tee of one to design an effective
DINNER on automobile lights,
Montgomery said. Mr.. Rolph

Christman in putting into effect
whatever may be necessary to
regulate and control lights when
practice or actual blackouts come.

islation also called for raise to
other employees of the cemetery
to which Mayor Lockwood was
in accord.
SALARIES
An ordinance fixing salaries
in the police department was Civ
en- one reading only upon the re-
quest of Councilman Evans. The
Legislation calls for: chief of
police 5000 per month (no raise),
chief of detectives $185 (no
raise), captain S165 ($5 raise),
and the 22 patrolmen to receive
$3.50 per month for the first
year of service, $40 for the sec
ond year, and $3.50 for the third
year of service, making a $40
raise per month for those in
their third year.
Due to recent difficulties in
the department a clause is in
serted in the legislation, as fol-
lows:
That members of the police
department shall report when
they intend to be off duty, to
the officer in charge at a rea-
sOnable time before working
hours and shall furnish the Of
ficer in charge with their ad-
dress at the time they report
off duty. If the absence from
duty is due to illness of such
nature as to prevent such re-
porting, then upon returning
to work the officer shall re-
port his whereabouts during
his absence"
According to City Solicitor
Charles B. Holtsberry the clause
would write into the city laws
regulations which now seem to
be hard to enforce by the chief
of police.
A resolution was adopted by
unanimous vote appropriating
$500 for the purchase of oxygen
and acetylene gas to be used in
cutting rails in the rail removal
project. Fireworks threatened
when both Councilmen Evans
and Payne remarked they thought
all expense of the removal had
been figured in the original es-
innate. Councilman Stare and
the Service Director again as
sured that the rail project would
show profit to the city, in spite
of miscalculation in the original
estimate of expense.
Legislation was adopted auth
orizing the service director to
enter into a contract for six
months with Perry A. Frazier
for maintenance of a city dump.
and a resolution was adopted
granting permission to the Lick
ing County Agricultural Society
to use South Fourth street from
West Main to Walnut street, for

revamping of the fire depart
ment and raising of salaries in

Soldiers Votes

Means of enabling Ohio
ans in the armed forces to
vote in the November elec-
ton with a minimum of diff
ficulty are receiving the at
tention of Secretary of
State John E. Sweeney and
other officials who run the
state election machinery, as
we'll as the local boards of
election. They hope to SIM
plify the absent voting pro-
cedure as much as possible
without abandoning the
safeguards established by
law to prevent abuses and
fraud.
That is a commendable
purpose.
There are many Difficult
ties of time and distance in
the way with regard to the
thousands of men scattered
all over the world, in Aus
tralia, India, China, Africa,
Ireland and with the fleet
units on the seven seas.
SloW-moving wartime mails
will make it impossible for
many of them to get their
requests for ballots in, to
receive their ballots and to
return their marked ballots
in the scant II weeks be-
tween the primary and the
fall election.
With respect to the men
III service in this country on
in readily accessible foreign
places, there is no serious
difficulty in the way of alb
sent voting that cannot be
overcome by common-sense
administrative action. We
can conceive of no change in
the laws that would improve
the situation materially.
In theory it would be fine
to give every service man a
chance to vote and to urge
him to use that privilege.
But in practice we shall
have to be content with eX-
&ending the opportunity to
as many as possible. Sec
retary of State Sweeney APP
parently means to do all he
can toward that end.

A disappointing factor of consid-

the necessary delay on account of
war priorities in the construction of
new school buildings, especially in
the crowded Anacostia area. The
Kramer Junior High School, delayed
for many months, will not be ready
probably until February /.
Meanwhile, the Anacostia Junior
Senior High School must continue
its staggered program. Additions to
the Benning and the Van Ness
Schools have been awaiting priority
rulings. 1t is expected that construc-
ton on Van Ness will begin soon.

Additional rooms in the Woodrow
Wilson High School are now COM

Construction Postponed.
Because of the war situation, 1t
has been necessary to postpone con-
struction on the Spingarn Senior
High School and the Abbott Voca-
tional School. To construct these
large buildings with temporary ma
terials would be undesirable AL
though requests have been made for
| several additional schools in the
Southeast and Northwest sections
of the city, under the provisions of
the Lanham Act, it has been impos-
sible thus far to obtain priority rat
