ChlOrinatOr Purchased For BlufftOn
Water Supply; Delivery In 40 Days

COLONIZATION equipment for treat
ment of Bluffton's municipal water
supply was purchased Tuesday night
at meeting of the board of public
affairs after consideration of bids
presented by two companies.
The chlorinator, a visible vacuum
type, was purchased from Wallace
and Tiernan Co., Inc, of Newark.
N. j., at an installed price of s1.531.
Installation was promised within
40 days, contingent on Wallace and
Tiernan's ability to obtain a critic
ally needed valve from one of their
suppliers, indicating that chlorina-
ton of Buttons water may be ex-
pected before the end of the year.
Altho Buttons water supply has
never shown anything other than
pure tests, adding chlorine has been
urged by state health officials as a
safeguard against possible epidemics.
COLONIZATION equipment will be
housed in a separate building which
will be erected over the main lines
at the water works.

Six Calls Answered BY Volun-
teer Department To October
/, Only Three Last Year
Fire Damage In Rural Area,
However, Is Considerably
Less So Far This Year

With interest centering on a ma
tion-wide observance of Fire Proven
tion week, beginning next Sunday,
a department report shows Bluffton
firemen have answered six calls
within the village limits up to Octo-
ber l of this year, as compared with
only three alarms during the same
period of 1945.
Damage from fires within the cor
poration has been slight, estimated
at $40, but last year there was no
reportable loss suffered in the three
calls prior to October.
There has been a sharp drop in
calls outside the town, however, with
the department answering five alarms
in the country up to October /. In
the first nine months of last year
there were eight calls to the rural
area.
Rural fire damage so far this year
is S14G0, in comparison with a mark
of S14,675 for 1945.
c. V. Stonehill, clerk of the fire
department, reported also that Bluff
ton village had fire loss of $3.50

Bluffton Churches To Participate
In Worldwide Communion Sunday

And by the time it gets to Calcutta,
Bluffton is mostly tucked in bed.
Moscow, Cairo and Capetown, Berlin
and Rome, have had their turn be-
fore the earliest Bluffton riser stirs
on Sunday morning.
The people in London are in
church when the dawn breaks here.
Iceland and Rio de Janeiro have had
their services before Blufftonites
leave their homes dressed in their
"go-to-meeting" clothes. Then
comes Bluffton's turn, when the
various churches of the community
will participate in this sacrament,
each in its own way.
Even after we are through. others
are still going to church. While we
relax in the middle of Sunday after
noon the churches of San Francisco
viii be ringing their bells for the
service. And the cycle is complete
at our supper time when Honolulu
is celebrating this occasion.
The local churches expect one of
the biggest attendances of the year
for this event.

RESTAURANTS WILL
FIGHT OPA PRICE
R0LLBACk ON MEAT
Blufft0n Restaurant Prices Re-
main Unchanged Despite
OPA Announcements
Restaurateurs Cooperating With
Association Which Plans To
Fight In Courts

Bluffton restaurants this week
were ignoring OPA's announced roll
back of meat dish prices to their level
of June 80, 1916, and there have been
no changes in either menus or their
cost for those who prefer to dine a.
way from home.
Although no local restaurateurs
will speak for publication there ap-
pears TO be a tacit understanding
that even. when official OPA notifi-
cation is received no cutback in prices
will be- forthcoming.
Their stand on the matter is said
to be fortified by the Western Ohio
Restaurant associations decision to
fight in the courts any attempt of
OPA to impose the announced price
rollbacks in this area.
Working in cooperation with the
association, most restaurants in this
part of the state appear to be follow
ing the same policy, and a final de-
cision in the matter may be weeks in
the offing.
Blast OPA Order
In blast last week at the OPA
order, a spokesman for the restau-
rant association charged that the
rollbaek to June 30 prices of this
year actually means restoration of
April 10, 1943 prices.
The charge embodied claim that
on March II, 1916, an 1S per cent in
crease was absorbed by restaurants,
and that on Sept. 8 of this year an
other II per cent was absorbed.
In the meantime what you buy at
local eating places is priced the same
as before the OPA rollback order,
and the only changes in meat menus
have been dictated by the shortage
and not because of price differen-
tials.

Rlchland Township Trustees Deny
Charge Existing Balance Is Excessive
Public Expenditure Council
Claim Made Without Knowl-
edge of Facts, Alleged.
Road Funds Remaining on Hand
Last Jan. l Have All Been
Spent For improvements.

Claims by the Ohio Public Ex-
penditure Council that excessive bal
ances are existing in the operating
funds of Riichland township, this
week brought a prompt denial from
township trustees.
In countering the councils con-
tention that existing balances could
permit lower general property tax
levies, spokesmen for Richland
trustees charged that the survey
quoted not only was misleading, but
actually was without foundation SO
far as the real status of the town
ships finances were concerned.
Inciting the wrangle, the public
expenditure council had quoted a
survey showing that Richland town
ship operating expenditures in 1945
had been S9.330.60 and that a bal
ance of $5,472.63 was on hand Jan
uary /, 1916.
Six other Allen county townships
also were charged with excessive
balances by the council, said to be
a fact-fnding agency supported by a
statewide membership of persons
interested in taxation.
An illustration of the misleading
statements in the report, Richland
trustees said after a meeting last
Saturday night, was the claim that
road and bridge fund balances for
the township were excessive.
Trustees pointed out the township
has no bridge fund, and for that
matter neither do any of the other
political subdivisions of the county.
All bridge repairs are made by
the county, it was explained by Fred
Badertscher, chairman of the board
of trustees, and he went on to ex-
plain there has been no bridge fund
in Richland township for at least
seven years.
As to the road fund which the re-
port says has an excessive balance,
Badertscher pointed out that the
Jan. l, 1916, balance of $5,472.63
had accumulated from the preceding
year because very little road work
could be done due to the fact that
war requirements prevented obtain
ing road oil.
Plenty of road maintenance was
required during the year, however,
and farmers were complaining be-
cause the work wasn't done.
With road oil becoming available
again this summer, all funds rep
resented by the balance have been
expended, since two years work was
done in a single season.
Trustees denied there were exces-
sive balances in .any of their funds,
and added that the report was made
without a full knowledge of facts.
