GRANT PETITION TO
TRANSFER $2,5OO.
FOR ROAD REPAIRS
Common Pleas Court Approves
Richland Township Trustees
Request
Additional Funds Needed Be.
cause of Heavy Winter Dam
age to Roads

Transfer of $2500 from the Rich
land township general fund was ap-
proved Monday by the Allen County
common pleas court to help finance
the cost of extensive repairs to town
ship roads which have suffered unusu-
ally heavy winter damage.
Permission to make the transfer
was asked by township trustees to re-
place expenditures made during the
winter from the road fund to clear
roads of snow and repair the town
ship snow plow:
With the transfer of funds effected
the township will have a road func
of approximately $4,000, which viii
barely be sufficient to take care of the
most pressing repairs, it was pointed
out.
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1945-03-08

Should any-resurfacing be contem-
plated additional financial assistance
must be Forthcoming from the Allen
county road fund in response to a
petition made to them by the town
ship.
However, county aid probably will
be limited, for every township is faced
with a situation similar to that in
Richland, damage to roads having
been about the same generally in the
entire district.
In contrast to the situation in the
township, Bluffton streets so far have
come thru the winter in, fairly good
condition, it was reported by Street
Commissioner H. L. Coon.
Less damage was suffered here be-
cause the streets were dry when the
period of eight weeks of snow and ice
set in on December IL.
Town Situation Good
In the town there was less a prob
lem of clearing the snow to permit
ready drainage of melting snow and
ice. Heavy damage to country roads
resulted principally from water from
melting snow standing on the roads
and alternately freezing and thawing,
with drainage impossible because of
high snow banks on each side.
Buttons street funds are not large
but are believed adequate to cover ma
jur repairs, including the proposed
resurfacing of Spring street from
Elm to Riley, and Harmon road from
Garau street to the Bentley road.
Re-surfacing of the two streets was
contemplated last year, but the town
was unable to get sufficient materials
because of wartime scarcity. How
ever, materials for street work can be
more easily obtained now, and a pro-
gram limited only by the funds avail
able may be possible this summer.

Argentina Fears
Yank Influence,
Editor Asserts
By Catherine r. Hambiey

That fear Of future United States
imperialism in Latin America Is one
reason why Argentina has failed to
cooperate with this country. was the
opinion expressed yesterday by
Senorita Josefina de Roman, who as
assistant editor of The Inter- Amer
ican Magazine keeps In close con-
tact with countries Of South
America.
Speaking before the zonta Club,
Senorita Roman explained that the
Argentinians resent the rising infiu-
ence Of the United States, which
they interpret as 4 tendency
toward imperialism. They feel that
any influence should be exercised by
them as the leading Latin nation Of
the Western Hemisphere.
The speaker added that feeling
Of distrust toward the United States
prevails In Latin America. This Is
result Of the contradictory policy
of the State Department. As an
example, the senorita cited the
statement OF the State Department
telling the southern countries that
breaking relations with the Axis
was tantamount to declaring war.
Later they were informed that no
nation, which had not previously
declared war, would be permitted
to sit at the peace table.
Britain, the senorita pointed out,
is hated because of her economic
success in Argentina. The Argentine
clique in authority came to power
through promises to oust British
companies, which they have been
unable to do.
Sen0rita de Roman said that radi-
Gals as we'll as conservatives in Ar
gentina are opposed to the present
Fascist-type government. Radicals
favor extensive industrialization, she
explained, and would turn to the
