ALICE STREET.
Sc WER PROJECT
MAY START SOON
Council Seeks Agreement
Among Property Owners:
BOrchardt Bid Accepted

Surface drainage and sewer
problems kept the city council
men busy in a lengthy session
Tuesday evening when the city
fathers" attempted to have neigh
borhood residents reach agree
ments SO that remedial measures
can be taken.
One bid was received for the
road improvement in Payne Ad-
dition. Elmer Borchardt, Cas-
talia, entered a bid of $5,7S2 and
it was accepted by council after
Orville Payne approved such &C
ton. Cost will be assessed pro-
perty owners.
Two bids were received for "A
carload of coal to be used in
City Hall. Tanke Coal Com
pany's bid of $15.75 per ton was
accepted as the East Clinton
Lumber Company's bid did not
meet specifications.
A minor mystery took place
when City Solicitor George w.
Slaughter read a proposed ordi-
nance to prohibit the running of
cattle, sheep, swine and poultry
at large within the city limits.
None of the councilmen or Mayor
Becker knew who had requested
such action, and it was tabled.
Nearly all spectator chairs in
the council chamber were filed
with residents of the Alice Mon
roe-Madison Street area, who
were present to discuss surface
drainage and sewer problems in
their neighborhood.
Mrs. Rodney Lockwood and
Warren McDougall acted as
spokesmen for the group. After
a lengthy pro and con discus
sion, council and property owners
agreed to have City Engineer
Kent. Wedekind prepare an esti-
mate of cost for the construction
of an open ditch running south
of Alice street into the Township
ditch at the east side of Madi-
son.
Sewer tile will also be placed
along both sides of Alice street so
that surface water can run into
the catch basins, and then into
the township ditch. 1t was agreed
that eight-inch tile should be
used.
This will be an emergency
measure to serve until such time
as the proposed sewage disposal
system is completed. Three homes
on South Monroe street will also
use this drainage equipment.
Leland Carter and Ray Hath
away, East Sixth street neigh
bors, were also present at the
council meeting in an attempt to
settle a neighborhood dispute over
sewers.
Carter has started construction
of a new home between Adams
and Jefferson streets. When he
prepared to plug into the existing
sewer, Hathaway stopped him and
said it is a private sewer, Po-
lice and other officials were called
into the controversy.
After reaching no agreement on
the problem, Hathaway stated
that he would permit Carter to
use the sewer if Carter dug up
the sewer line and discovered it
was eight inches or over in dia-
meter. Carter agreed to start
digging.

Buffalo Man Is Arrested
After Suffering Broken
Leg In Crash

Through the vigilance of four
local residents, and the speedy
work of Sheriff Merriam Budd, and
members of the Port Clinton po-
lice department, two Buffalo, New
York, men who arc accused of
having burglarized the C. f. Will
Hansen & Son Grocery early
Thursday morning, were captured
within two hours after the bur-
glary.
Joseph A. Moses, who is cele-
brating his 25th birthday this
Thursday, and Edward Scillia, az,
both of Buffalo, are the suspects
captured during hectic race and
the ensuing search.
Moses is a patient in Magruder
Hospital, being treated for
broken leg repeatedly suffered
when an auto bearing 194S New
York license plates crashed into
tree ut the northwestern corner
of Laurel and Fremont Road, as
the car was being chased by Pa
trolman Bill Robel.
Scillia was apprehended by
Sheriff Merlan Budd as the New
York man was walking vest along
Route =, near the Collins Cabins
in Erie township.
Private citizens figuring in the
case were Melvin Cover and his
daughter, Janeane, and her boy
friend, Tony Cipiti, and Mrs. Pat
O'Brien, Sr.. West Fifth street.
Cover started things humming
at 2:23 this Thursday morning
when he telephoned Police Desk
Man Louie Dreier that a suspic-
ious New York car was parked
near his home. Janeane Cover and
Tony Cipiti had noticed the car
and became suspicious.
When Patrolman Robel arrived
at the scene, he removed the
keys from the New York car. In
the meantime, Cover again phoned
the police Office that two men
were walking towards the car.
The Williamson Grocery had
been entered by forcing a back
door. Between $50 and $50 had
been taken from a cash drawer.
The firms register, which held ac-
counts receivable but no money,
had also been carried out the back
door but was not stolen.
AS Robel approached the car,
the men raced off in the vehicle,
evidently having had second set
of keys. With Robel in chase,
the men raced south on Washing
ton to Seventh, west on Seventh
to Adams where they tore through
Mrs. Charles DurdePs flower bed.
After taking Corners on two
wheels, the New York car was
sped out Sixth street to Laurel
and then north to Fremont Road,
where it crashed into tree. Here
the occupants jumped out and
escaped before their pursuers
could catch them. 1t was now
2:43 a. m.
At 3:19, Sheriff Pudd was called
into the hunt. At 3:55 Mrs. Pat
O'Brien telephoned police that an
injured man was lying in her yard
and in need of disqualification.
Investigation disclosed that the
man was Joseph Moses. He had
suffered a broken leg, and severe
ly cut knee cap. 1t was thought
that Moses had crawled several
blocks from the scene of the acci-
dent. He was taken to Magruder
Hospital in a Gerner & Wolf am
bulanca.
Five minutes later Sheriff Budd
notified police that he had appre-
hended Edward Scillia nearly
three miles west of the city.
Scillia was taken to the county
Jail to await hearing.
Police are still searching for the
money missing from the William
sen Grocery as the only money
found on the men was $15,21 in
their pockets. Two suitcases and
clothing found in the car are be-
