BILL WOULD PUT
SUPER-HIcHWAY
near BLUFFTON
Proposal i'm Ohio Legislature
Would Construct Four
Lane Toll Road
Location of New Highway
Would Be Between Routes
BON and 224

An Ohio toll road, similar to the
famed Pennsylvania turnpike, pro-
posed in a bill now before the state
house of representatives, would pass
near Bluffton on it's east-west route,
announcement of plans disclosed
this week.
The turnpike bill proposes that the
route of the super-highway would be
between existing National Routes
BON and 224, putting it in the
Bluffton area.
Routes BON passes through Beav-
erdam in this district, and Route
224 touches Findlay, Gilboa and OF
tawa, thereby putting Bluffton about
midway between the two highways.
The measure in the state general
assembly is designed to permit con-
struction of four-lane toll roads,
linked to the Pennsylvania turnpike
from near Pittsburgh to Ohio.
Under present plans, cost of the
super-highway would be paid from
financed bond issues and
retired from funds raised through
toll collections. The highway would
miss all towns and cities on its
route through the state,

Bluffton Municipal Council Adds
Protest To Those of Other
Cities in This Area
Eminent Domain Status AS
Public Carrier, Sought For
Conveyor, Is Target

Bluffton village counciImen Mon
day night added their protest to
those of other cities along the Nickel
Plate railroad in this district
against a proposal before the state
Legislature to grant eminent domain
as public carrier to proposed con-
struction of freight carrying belt
conveyor system in eastern Ohio.
At the request of Nickel Plate
railroad officials, who said their
service would be affected by the belt
conveyor, the council passed reso-
luton asking the state legislature to
rule against the eminent domain pro-
vision of the carrier construction.
1t was pointed out to councilmen
that common carrier status should
not be granted to the belt conveyor,
inasmuch as its services will differ
materially from those provided by
railroads, yet would cut deeply into
rail revenues and result in whole
sale layoffs of roalroad men.
100 MILE CoNvEYoR
The belt conveyor, more than 100
miles in length, would run from the
Ohio river to Lorain, with branch
lines to Cleveland and Youngstown.
1t is proposed to carry coal north to
the lake cities and transport iron
ore south to steel mills.
Eminent domain as a public car
rier is being sought from the state
legislature in order to permit con-
domination of land required for con-
struction of the belt conveyor, it was
pointed out.
Inasmuch as only coal and iron
ore would be transported on the
long belt line, railroads are opposing
granting of eminent domain on the
grounds that the project does not
quality as common carrier, council
men were told. Only a few concen-
trated industries would be served
by the construction.
Many other cities along the Nickel
Plate railroad through this area al
ready have protested the eminent do
main status, including Lima and
Findlay, it was pointed out.

Although construction contractors

COLLEGE TRUSTEES
TO SEE FINAL GYM
PLANS ON FRIDAY
Approval at Meeting Here VIII
Clear Way for Start of
Construction
Last Details Regarding Location
Expected to be Decided at
Meeting

Plans for Bluffton colleges quar-
ter-million dollar gymnasium-audi-
torium will be presented for final
approval at meeting of the college
board of trustees to be held in the
Musselman library on the campus
Friday.
Formal approval of the trustees
will clear the way for beginning of
construction which is scheduled to
start this spring.
Blueprints for the structure draft
ed by the Cleveland architectural
firm of Ward & Conrad in coniunc-
tion with Oliver Davidson of Pan
dora have been in final stages of
preparation the past week. The
plans which were to have been COM
pleted earlier this month were de-
layed because of illness in the office
of the Cleveland architects.
DETERMINE DIRECTION BUILDING
FACES
One feature still undecided, which
direction the building should face,
will probably be determined at the
meeting of the trustees, informed
sources stated.
Although present plans provide for
the gymnasium to be built in the
area Immediately at the rear of Sci
ence hall between Lincoln hall and
the present gymnasium a decision
has not been reached as to the exact
site.
The matter of providing adequate
parking facilities and general ac-
feasibility will be a major factor,
governing consideration of the loca-
tion, it is understood.
WILL SEAT 1900
The structure will have an audi
torium seating cnnseity of about
1000 ard will pAsah arnple space
for dramatic and musical produc-
tions.
Permanent seats for athletic con-
tests will be installed together with
locker and dressing rooms, showers
and instructors offices
Although construction of the gym
nasium will be started this spring,
work will continue only until the
building fund is exhausted. Prog
ress of the campaign to raise funds,
however, has been sufficiently salts
factory to indicate that many of the
buildings facilities may be ready
for use during the coming school
year.
