Council Also Orders
Time Limits Enforced

tinue in its present location at S.
Main and Sixth SITS, members of
Council decided in a special meet
ing, called Friday night to discuss
a request of the Columbus -Marys-
vile Bus Co. to move back to the

quest because the parking of buses
in front of the hotel creates too
much congestion on the busiest
corner in town.
During their special meeting, the
Solons also voted to begin enfoTc-
ing time limits on parking one
block each direction from the Pub
lie Square. The limits are provided
in am ordinance passed by Council
about four years ago. Signs stipu-
lating the parking limits will be
erected before enforcement is be-
gun.

items of business were also trans
acted.

Hoffman, who was running the
bus station at Sixth and S. Main
SITS. was quitting and for that reas-
on he would like to move the stat
ion back to the Hotel He request
ed the Solons to provide parking

gard moved that the Solons hold

Preliminary plans for a new hos
pital and utility building at the
Reformatory for Women have been
completed by the State Architects S
office for the State Department of
Welfare, it was revealed in a spec
ial news release today.
The proposed addition to the

mately S26O,OOO and will be the
sixth building constructed at the
Institution since it was opened
here in 1915.

working plans involving about
100000 Of the $4,000, 900
which Governor LauSChe recently
recommended in his budget mes
sage to the Legislature for eXpan-
sion of welfare institutions have
been completed, the Welfare De
partment disclosed.
Wait On Restriction Removal
Welfare Director Frazier Reams
said that of the total, blue prints
have been completed for about
$9,O00,O0O worth of new buildings
as the result of amounts apprOpri-
ated in previous years which will

additional $6,OO0,OOO worth of con-
Struction to relieve badly over
crowded welfare institutions which
in the field of the mentally i'll a.
lone are presently caring for about
20 per cent more patients than
their nOmal capacities.

was hopeful that some of the new
construction could be started be-
fore the end of the war and indi-
Gated he was planning TO go to
Washington within the near future
in order to push priority requests
of the Department.

of about 1000, the Department
plans eventually to have quarters

HERE'S ONE REPORT
ACTUALLY SIMPLER

Union county employers who
during April are making their re-
ports for tn first quarter of l945
to the Ohio Bureau of Unemploy-
ment Compensation were again re-
minded today of Simplifications in
the report forms (UCO-2e).
A few completed reports al
ready received by the Bureau from
employers indicate some misunder-
standing, Charles II. Jones, admin
iStrator of the Ohio Bureau of Un-
employment Compensation, said.
1t is no longer necessary, he point
ed out, for employers to show a
monthly breakdown of their pay
rolls. Some are continuing to do
so despite instructions printed on
the forms. Quarterly earnings to-
tails only need be reported.
The only monthly breakdown
now required by the Bureau is the
number of workers on the payroll
as of the pay period nearest the
fifthteenth of each month. Pre-
viouSly, employers had been asked
to list the number of workers as of
the last pay period of each month.
The change to mid-mOnth report
ing was made so that employment
figures submitted to the state
would conform to that which en-
ployers also report to federal "a
gencies.
Ohio employers have until mid
night April 30 to mail their reports
and contributions to the Bureau
for the first quarter of this year.
Notifications of the 1945 contri-
buttons of the 1945 contribution
rates were mailed to employers by
the Bureau several months ago,
Mr.. Jones said.

Union county dairy producers
may now submit their applications
and evidence for dairy feed pay
ments on milk and butterfat pro-
duced and sold during the first
quarter of 1945, at the local A.A.A.
office.
I'VE started making payments
for the January-February-Marc
1945, period on April e." Wilby R.
Cochenour, member of the County
AAA Committee in charge of the
dairy feed program said today,
"The time allowed for making
payments for this period ends May
81, 1945."
Mr.. Cochenour urged farmers
to present their applications and
evidence within the sixty days
allowed for the period.
THE county AAA office does
not have the authority to make
payments for applications SUBMIT
ed after the closing date for a
period" he said.
He also asked farmers to save
evidence of dairy production and
sales for the present quarter
April, May and June-as this
should be submitted with one ap-
plication within so days after this
second quarter ends.

MARYSVILLE WINS FIRST
BASEBALL GAME IN s YEARS

Marysville high school won the
first baseball game an M. II. S.
diamond squad has played in five
years, Friday afternoon. defeating
Woodstock IL to Is. The Monarchs
banged in seven runs in the last
inning to overcome a 13 to 10 lead
which Woodstock held.
Noel Howard, former Wood
stock boy, pitched for Marysville
He gave up but seven hits and per-
mitted three bases on balls. Poor
support from his teammates,
chiefly attributed to the fact that
it was their first baseball game,
allowed Woodstock to tally 13
runs on the seven hits.
Marysville got eight hits off
Kitchen, Woodstock moundsman,
of which four came in the final
inning. The Monarchs were also
allowed five walks in this period,
due to lack of control by Kitchen.
