SOLONS AUTHORIZE POSTING OF BOND
IN INJUNCTION SUIT TO STOP BUILDING

Members of the Marysville
village Council decided Thurs
day evening to go ahead with
injunction suits filed Thursday
morning by Solicitor William S.
Hopes, against Charles A. Tren-
or and John A. Trenor, and
against Mr.. and Mrs. George
Fonda Cook. The injunction
suits were filed by Solicitor
Hopes when the parties con-
cerned did not stop construction
of their buildings as asked by
the Council, after its Nov. l3
meeting.
Several citizens met with the
Solons to discuss the action to be
taken.
The whole evening was de-
voted to this problem, with any
one present who wished, invited
to express their opinions on the
matter.
The big problem facing the
Council members was the ques-

ton as to whether their zoning
ordinance was legal or not. Ac-
cording to Solicitor Hopes, the
ordinance was not passed ac-
cording to Ohio statutes. Luther
Liggett, who is representing Mr..
and Mrs. Jacob Ell, whose E.
Fourth st. property adjoins the
Trenor's lot, cited two ways in
which he believes the ordinances
could be considered valid.
The village council has been
considering for some time, the
drawing up of a new zoning Or

ly stated, but with the inflated
prices and values of the present
times, does not know what to
base their ordinance on.
After considerable discussion
of the problem, Council instruct
ed Solicitor Hopes to post bond
for the village and continue the
injunction suits. Council decided
that it would be the best way to
find out for sure if the Zoning
ordinance is legal. Luther Ljg-
gett was appointed to work with
Solicitor Hopes on the village
case.

1t was brought up that per-
haps it would be better for an
individual citizen to file suit, but
the possibility of the buildings
being completed before action
was taken on the case, downed
that suggestion and also the
suggestion for the city to file d
declaratory judgment suit.
Interested citizens who were
present Thursday to hear the
session included Mr.. and Mrs.

Mr.. Creviston expressed the
opinion that, since the Council
was the representative of the
people, it was their job to file the
injunction suit, for the further
protection of all the people of
Marysville, instead of having in
dividuals file it for their own
protection.

MUSIC FESTIVAL
PLANS SHAPING UP

Plans were being completed
this week for the annual all
county Music Festival, to be held
in the Marysville High School
auditorium Dec. 4, with every
school in Union County partici-
pating. Altogether, more thar
$50 boys and girls will be in the
festival, according to County
Supt. Gale w. Baldwin.
First all-county practice will
be held here Tuesday, with 6
second rehearsal scheduled for
next week, just prior to the
festival itself. In charge of the
program is Marvin Fogt, music
teacher of Redwood, who is
head of the county music commit
tee this year.
In past years, the County
Music Festival has been held in
the spring. The teachers always
felt, however, that it conflicted
too seriously with the many
spring and commencement act
ivities, so decided to make 1t a
pre- Christmas event this year.

heard by Common Pleas Judge
Arthur d. Tudor, of Kenton. The
action was filed Thursday by the
Village of Marysville, and Judge
Richard L. Cameron declined to
hear the proceedings, due to the
parties involved. Judge Tudor
was assigned by Chief Justice
Carl v. Weygandt of the Ohio
Supreme Court.
The action was filed by the
Village after the plans of the
Trenors and Mr.. and Mrs. Cook
met with vigorous protest on the
part of many citizens. Legality of
the Villages zoning ordinance,
under which Council refused to
grant permission for the build
ing projects, was questioned by
the Trenors, through their attor
ney, c. A. Hopes.
Petition was filed by Solicitor
William S. Hopes for the Village
Thursday, and on Friday, the
Trenors filed an answer and cross
petition.
In the defendants answer it
was stated that said Ordinance
is unconstitutional for the reason
that it is not general in its appli-
cation and that it gives the

to determine its effect" This

M H S BASKETBALL
SEASON TO OPEN
THIS WEDNESDAY
First Tilt at London:
Lack of Practice
To Hamper Monarchs

MarySville High School will
open its 1947-'48 basketball
season at London Wednesday
night as the Monarchs take on
the Red Raiders from the Madi-
son county school. The prelimi-
nary game between reserve
teams of the two schools will be-
gin at 7:30 p. m.
Coach Warren Widner is none
too certain about his teams pros
poets for the opening game, al
though he is confident the
Monarchs can and will develop
into one of the best cage outfits
Marysville has ever had, as the
season progresses. But right now,
their play is still pretty ragged.
"We just haven't had enough
time to get ready for the open
ing game" Widner declares. "All
we can do is hope that London
is in the same boat.
Boys Shoot Well
Sure, the material is there"
"The boys have plenty of talent
for basketball, but you can't ex-
pect much with just seven prac-
tice sessions. They shoot we'll,
and handle the ball well, but
they haven't become the smooth
working machine which only
practice and experience can de-
velop."
Widner put his team through
its first real practice game of the
season, Friday evening, the Re-
serve team playing the Varsity.
The game was divided into four
12-minute quarters and was
played just like a regulation
game except no time was taken
out for fouls, jump balls, out-of-
bounds plays, or anything else
Referees were Assistant Coach
Paul Wenzel and Bob Graham,
a former M. H. S. eager.
AS might be expected, the
Varsity beat the Reserves, but
not without as much of a strugg-
lie as nightly Michigan had with
Ohio State last Saturday. The
in fact, made things
pretty hot for the Varsity early
in the game, until the Varsity
began hitting their shots. But
this does not mean the Varsity
is weak; it's just further evidence
that another outstanding team is
in the making from this years
'B" material, all freshmen and
sophomores.
Coach Widner Is definitely set
on his first six players but says
he will never know until game
time just which five of the six
will start. These five are Bill
Wall and Jack Mcclure, for
wards; Jerry Kingsmore, center;
and Art Streng, Harry Evans and
John Dayton, guards. All are
seniors except Dayton, who is a
junior. And all are six feet or
more tall except Streng, who is
5'10": Tallest is Jerry Kingsmore
at 6'3". Dayton is 6'2" and the
others 6-even to 6'1".
About London, not too much is
known here, except that the Red
Raiders have two lettermen back
from last year. But, on their
home floor, London doesn't have
to have very much to make
plenty of trouble for any opposi-
ton. London plays in the old
Armory building which is so
narrow that it is often disparag-
ingly referred to as a bowling
alley"

DOaTuS Oh 1OWHSIlp trustees, 10
School Boards, five Village
Councils and three Boards of
Library Trustees.
Substantial rate increases will
be in effect in several districts
over the county according to
Auditor McCurdy. In Marysville,
the rate will be raised because
of the 1.50 levy passed for the
maintenance and upkeep of Oak
dale cemetery. Other increases
for the districts of the county are
due to the levies voted either for
operating expense or bond re-
tirement purposes, the Auditor
stated.
Rates of the Redwood corpora
ton and the Claibourne- Rich
wood school districts will be in
creased because of the renewal
lof 2l2 mills and increase of 5
jmills for five years for current
operating expenses of the schools.
In the same way the S87 900 bond
issue and its resultant 2 mill levy
for II years, of the Union school
district, is the cause of increased
rates in Milford Center and the
Union school districts. Tax in
creases in Washington township
and Bokescreek school district
are due to a l mill levy for fire
protection.
ConservancY Tax Applies
In addition to the regular rates
applying in 1948, Union county
will have an entirely new tax,
which has been certified in the
county for collection as a special
assessment. This will apply to
every district of the county.
The Scioto- -Sandusky Con
servancy District, according to
Auditor McCurdy, has assessed
80 mill against all real estate
and public utilities in II counties,
including Union county, except
parts of a few counties in the
district. This 80 mill amounts to
80 cents on each $1,000 assessed
valuation and is exclusive of the
rates just established by the
Union county Budget Commits
sion.
The Assessment, which will
take about $500 out of Union
county in the one year it applies,
according to the auditor, will be
set up on the tax books of the
county as a separate item and
the full amount will be assessed
at the December l947 collection
period.
The table of the new and old
rates prepared for comparison
by Auditor McCurdy follows:
