BOOSTER FUND
SET FOR LIGHTS
AT HOSPITAL
Two Complete Operating
Rooms Will Be Available
For Use Soon

Through the donation of funds
from the Booster Club, former bar
gaining agent at the Standard

$1,000 raised by Port Clinton Elks
during the Port Theatre opening,

soon have two complete operating
rooms fully equipped.

former Booster Club, this week
reported that funds which had
been held since 1912 and which
were raised at Booster Club pic
MICS, will be given to the hospital
to purchase and install new
light for the operating room.
A new operating table has been
ordered and will be paid from the
$1,000 theatre fund. Miss Mabel
Selin, hospital superintendent, re-
ported that with the addition of
the table and light, two complete
operating rooms would be avail
able.
When the new light arrives and
is installed, the present operating
table light will be transferred to
the emergency room in the first
floor, thus providing better light
there.
Booster Club officers decided to
donate the funds to the hospital,
feeling that by so doing they were
doing the most good to the
greatest number of people" The
fund had been in custody of George
Drusbacky, president, and Mr..
Faus, secretary.
A plate will be placed at the
door of the emergency room, des-
ignating that the light has been
donated by the Booster Club.

TRUSTEES BALK.
AT CITYS BOOST
IN FIRE RATES
Catawba and Erie Officials
Hold Up Signing Con-
tracts For Protection

Trustees of Catawba and Erie
townships baked at Port Clinton
councils attempt to increase year
ly rates charged for fire proteC-
tion Tuesday evening, but Portage
and Bay township trustees agreed
that the rates We're fair.
Trustees of the surrounding
townships, served by the local fire
department, were present at the
council meeting when the new
rates were announced.
Mayor Carl Becker informed the
trustees that it was imperative to
increase the rates as firemen are
now being paid 50 an hour while
fighting fires, and that the city
now has two trucks, equipped with
coo gallon bumpers, available to
fight rural fires.
Under the old rate, established
six years ago, .Catawba and Bay
townships paid $50 yearly for
fire protection; Erie Twp. paid
5000 and Portage Twp, $500.
After thoroughly studying all
aspects, including population, num-
ber of buildings per township, and
tax valuations, the councilmen pro-
posed the following new rates, to
be effective as of May l:
Bay township, increased to $500;
Catawba township, increased to-
$500; Portage township, increas-
ed to $500; and Erie township, in
creased to $400
Councilman Carl Waggoner gave
these tax valuation figures; Bay
township, 1881 1921; Erie town
ship, $750,240; Catawba township,
81 ,222,640 and Portage township,
$1,846,420. The Erie township
figure does not include Camp Per-
ry or Erie Ordnance Depot, which
IFiacluded, would jump Erie even
higher than Portage. "a"
Waggoner stated that Bay town.
ship has 100 buildings; Erie town
ship, 273, and Catawba, 40.
John Radloff, Portage township
trustee, was the first to agree to
the rate boost. After a private
meeting, Bay township trustees
also agreed that the increase was
fair.
Walter Zoschke and Alton Sni,
der, Erie township trustees, did
not want to agree as the third
trustee, John Flick, was not pres
ent. A special meeting is planned
for these trustees, so that they can
reach an agreement before the
May l deadline, set by the state
underwriters.
The Erie Twp. trustees objected
to the raise to $400 while Bay
Twp, with a bigger tax valuation
was only increased to $500. Coun
cilmen explained that Erie Twp
has 273 buildings, compared to 16(
for Bay, and has far more com
mercial buildings.
Catawba Twp. trustees were es'
pecially troubled by the increase
to $500 over the current rate ol
$50.

ELECTION SET-UP
Voters To Eliminate Two of

Republicans need not GO to the
polls Tuesday for the primary
election, as Election Board Clerk
f. II. Minderman has announced
that there will be no Republican
primary election held in this city.
Minderman's announcement came
following receipt of recent ruling
Of Ohio's Attorney General which
declares no primary is necessary
if the number of candidates does
not exceed the total to which the
party is entitled.
AS there is no contest among
Republican candidates, no Repub-
lican ballots will be available on
Tuesday, May 5. This ruling does
not alter the number of precinct
officials who will serve in the elec.
ton booths as the same number of
precinct officials is required even
though only the Democrat Primary
election is to be held.
Democrats TO Choose
Thus for the first time in many
years, only local Democrats will
go to the polls Tuesday--and their
principal job will be to choose six
of the eight candidates for coun-
Gil. The Republican candidates
will automatically be on the bal
lot for the fail election.
Running without opposition on
the Democratic ticket will be pres
ent councilman Paul Schmitt for
mayor; City Clerk William l.. Zeis;
City Treasurer George Tewers,
and Board of Public Affairs tlus-
tees Edward iSemon, Charles Cow
Ell and Anton Bahnsen.
Seeking the council nomination
on the Democratic ticket are Alex
l.. Bergman, Eugene Collins, Will
liam Goebel, Julius Jensen, Tor
valid Hostrup, Harold Nielsen,
Jack F. Riddle and Charles A.
Ruddock.
Jensen, Collins, Goebel and Neil
sen ere members of the present
council. Mr.. Riddle is a promi-
nent member of the fire depart
ment and Mr.. Hostrup is a former
councilman.
All of the eight candidates have
loyal supporters and the outcome
of the primary contest will be Of
much interest.

BUY PHOTOSTAT
FOR RECORDER
New System Will Save End
less Typing and Proofread-
ing By Staff

A photostat machine has been
purchased by the Ottawa county
commissioners for use in the
county recorders office. Pur-
chase of the machine was backed
by many local attorneys.
This machine will make an ex-
act copy of all instruments placed
for record in the recorders Of
flee. 1t will produce stamps, seals
and signatures exactly as they are
on the original.
This modern recording system
will eliminate most of the endless
typing and proofreading that the
recorders staff has had in the
past.
In spite of the added service to
the people of Ottawa county, this
new system will actually cost the
county less money. 1t is be-
licved the photostat machine will
pay for itself in the first year or
two.
The photostat machine will be
placed in operation the latter part
of May or the first part of June.
The new fees for photostat re-
cording will then go into effect.
These fees are very simple, go
cents a page plus five cents for
each name to be indexed, in ac-
cordance with General Code of the
State of Ohio, section 277S and
1868, Recorder Elgin S. Winters
