COUNCIL SPLITS OVER
PERRY. ST. ORDINANCE
VOTE IS UNIQUE
IN CITY ANNALS
Street Opening Legislature
May Be Approved At Next
Council Meet

Port Clinton's village council
split wide open Tuesday night
when they voted three three after
Councilman Eugene Collins had
moved to suspend rules and have
the third and final reading of the
ordinance declaring it necessary to
open West Perry street.
1t was the first time in many
many years that tie vote had
been cast in council chambers. City
Solicitor George Slaughter looked
up the precedent in Ohio's Code
book and declared the motion for
the third reading was lost as it
failed to get the threefourths ap-
proval needed.
Collins, William Goebel and Har-
old Nielsen approved the motion
while Julius Jensen, Carl Wagon
er and Paul Schmitt voted "no".
The motion will be made again at
the next council meeting, May IL.
Earlier in the evening, all coun-
cilmen had approved the second
reading Of the proposed ordinance.
Mayor Carl Becker and council
man Collins stated that state high
way department engineers were
here this week, when they conduct
ed surveys of the traffic situation.
Collins stated that the state Of
fcials do not wish to spend funds
to improve Madison street, due to
the hazard formed by the railroad
viaduct. If state funds are grant
ed, the city would lose two of
every five parking meters along
Madison street, as the state would
enforce parallel parking regula-
tions.
The state highway department
engineers checked the proposed
opening of West Perry street and
were highly in favor of such plan
as the state route from Fremont
could be routed north on Harrison
and then east on Perry.
Later in the evening, Marvin
Lundgard Of the Lundgard mill
spoke at length against the West
Perry street opening plan.
