dule but their morale is high as
they realize that their good work
is needed and appreciated.

need of emergency repairs.
Councilman Paul Schmitt and
Shelter were authorized to have
emergency repairs made as soon
as possible.
Shelter gave a report showing
increased parking meter collec-
tions since Patrolman William
Robel was added to the force for
the five-month summer season.
Mays receipts were $l72 over the
same month a year ago; June was
S118 higher while July's parking
meter receipts were $50 above
July of 194S.
The police chief highly recon-
mended Robel's being employed
for a full-time job. He stated
that the increased parking meter
revenue more than pays for his
salary and permits better police
protection. Council discussed the
request but took no action.

planes. He said many elderly
people We're in Lakeside and that
they were disturbed by the noise

GRANTED HERE
S29,500 In Federal Funds
AllOcated To Build
RunwayS

Expansion of the Perinsular
Airport, Gypsum, municipal air
port for this city, will be possible
this fall as the government has
allocated $29.500 in funds toward
a $70,500 project for acquisition
of land and building Of runways.
Work is scheduled to get under
way this fall on a 1000 feet north
south runway of which half the
length will be blacktopped to
width of rs feet. Blacktop also
will be applied for the 5O-foot
taxi strip and the apron around
the hangar.
At council meeting Tuesday
evening, announcement was made
that the $29,500 will be used to
build runways as all land needed
for the airport has all ready been
acquired.
Port Clinton will not be re-
quired to spend any money on the
project as it's share was paid in
previous years when the airport
was acquired and improved.
Mayor Becker stated that there
may be few thousand dollars
needed to bring the total to the
$70,500 figure and that this would
be paid by the airport committee.
1t was emphasized that the
$70,500 figure is for the entire
cost of the airport and includes
the federal grant.
AS definite progress must be
shown within 60 days, or the fed
eral funds may be withdrawn
work no doubt will be started as
soon as progress. The CAA let,
ter was forwarded to X. c
Schaper, of the airport commit,
tee.
The airport is used as the main
land base for air service to the
Lake Erie islands and has a
grassy surface. During the war,

COUNCIL PLANS DRAINAGE MEET
FOR MONROE ALICE AREA PROBLEM

AS no bids were received for
proposed road improvements in
the Payne Addition, councilmen
Tuesday evening decided to re-
advertise for bids without any
cost estimate.
The original estimate was re-
portedly too how, and contractors
refused to enter a single bid for
the work. Orville Payne was
present at the meeting and asked
that dirt and stones removed from
the streets be used as a base for
repairing Portage Street. He also
asked that the streets be marked.
Casimir Wierzba, 116 Maple
Street, appeared before council
and stated that police had asked
him not to park in the alley near
his house. He said his lot was
SO narrow that it was necessary
to use the alley, which permits
sion had been granted him by
council 10 years ago.
Police Chief Jack Shelter told
council that the alley is pub
lie thoroughfare and that it must
be kept open. Members of the
street committee were asked to
visit the scene to check if the 10
feet required for the alley is still
available.

Residents of the Monroe and
Alice Street neighborhood are be-
ing notified to be present at the
next council meeting, August g.,

Wedekind is to report his esti-
mates for the proposed drainage

jects for the area. The surface
water problem has plagued resi-
dents of that vicinity for many
months.
Councilmen voted to advertise
for the purchase of carload of
coal, for use in city Jail.
Chief of Police Jack Shelter re-
ported that traffic lights at Madi-
son and Perry were in bad condi-
ton and those on Fourth Street

INTRODUCE IRRIGATION IN BAY
TWP. FOR BETTER FRUIT CROPS

Irrigation processes which have
long been commonplace in the
western states made their ap-
pearance in Bay Township this
week when Al Liam and Vincent
Nugent, two of the county's more
progressive fruit farmers, began
irrigating their peach and apple
orchards.
While irrigating on a minor
scale was practiced in the coun-
ty years ago when onion crops
were raised, this is believed to be
the first time in Ottawa County's
history that big-scale irrigation
was tried.
With their adjoining farms be-
ing along the southern shore of
the wide Portage River, Liam
and Nugent decided to fight the
drought by importing river wat

his contract with the city council,

kept open and that the refresh
ment stand be in operation, ac-
cording to requirements in the con-
tract.

should be available now during
the busy summer season, the
councilmen decided that Rosial
should remove his inventory anC
equipment as soon as possible, anC
not later than Saturday. They
gave him 80 days to remove the
barbecue pit, including the foun
dations.

job for the remainder of the sea

would have expired this coming

committee were to see Rosiar a
soon as possible to notify him o
councils action.

PUBLIC INVITED TO
SATURDAY review
Hopes Prevail That Camp
Perry Will Become Second
Army AA Headquarters

James Duff, governor of
Pennsylvania, is expected to visit
the Pennsylvania AA troops at
Camp Perry sometime during the
coming week. His visit will mark
one of the few times a governor
Of another state has visited the
local camp.
Maj. General Curtis, comman-
der of the AA troops, has an
nounced that the public is invited
to witness the field inspection and
brigade review to be held at 10

removing the long-antiquated
wooden pier at the camp. The
pier was ruined by ice years ago,

Ohio, is serving as camp COM
mander during the AA encamp-
ment and Col. Harry Kerr is camp
superintendent.
Huge AA guns are on the range
at Perry this week, as troops use
the equipment for sighting prac-
tice and repair instruction. Firing
of the big guns is done at the AA
range recently completed along
Sand Beach, while the troops will
also use Camp Perry's ranges for
rifle and pistol craftsmanship
qualifications.
One evidence of the huge in-
crease in population this week is
mirrored in the fact that 10000
rounds of 80 milimeter ammunition
have been issued while only 1000
rounds were used by Ohio troops
last week,

PETERSBURG, Alaska, t4o) - Prospects for Congressional pas sage of the Alaska military con- struction bill-noW snagged in the national House of Representatives look brighter.
 That was the word of Delegate E. L. Bartlett at a meeting of Pe- tersburg businessmen late We'd nesday.
 He credited the recent visits to Alaska of the joint chiefs of staff and air secretary Symington for his optimism.
 q am really encouraged after talking with Gen. Omar N. Brad ley" he said. He is fully alert to the need for pressing forward viz orously with the construction pro- gram.
 q believe the joint chiefs can, and will, make such a compelling demonstration on Alaska's defense needs on their return to Washing ton that Congress will be forced to act.
 Surely we cannot afford to lose the entire 1850 season, which would be the case if the bill is not passed at the present session.
 "I was particularly glad to note that Congressman Hugh Mitchell of Seattle D.-Wash0. alW y Alaska's good friend, accompanied Symington. He will return to Washington with firSt-hand knOWl- edge of the imperative need for doing the big defense job in the Territory without delay
 Bartlett later boarded a plane for Ketchikan. He said he expect ed to leave for Washington, D. C., from Ketchikan not later than to- day.
