POTATO GROWERS
IN BLUFFTON area
talk ACREAGE CUT
Wi t h wal of Government
Price Supports May Curtail
Crop Here
Potatoes Grown by Many Farm
ers in BlufftOn-PandOra
District

Potato growers in the Bluffton
area are contemplating reductions in
their 1851 acreage in the wake of
government action discontinuing price
supports for the crop.
Most of the potatoes in this dis
trict are raised west of town in the
Bluffton-P Pandora area where large
scale operations have been in order
for many years.
Withdrawal of government support
on the 1851 crop is expected to help
larger growers who are able to op-
crate proftably on a small profit
margin, but the farmer in the in
termediate class may be forced to
use his fields for other crops, it was
pointed out this week.
In the Hardin county marsh area,
many acres of the 1850 crop are re-
ported to have been abandoned in
the field because growers found dig
ging, washing and grading would be
improbable.

Trapping Season
To Date One Of
Poorest In Years

TRAPPING season here is max
= ing the poorest showing in
recent years, it was reported as
trappers checked up on results at
the end of the first two weeks of
the open season. Only a trickle
of furs is coming on the market,
estimated about one-tenth of the
normal catch for this time of
year.
High water at the opening of
the season followed by heavy
snow and ice, keeping fur-bearing
wildlife "holed up," are given as
the cause for the reduced volume.

Tax Rates Increased In 25 Allen
County Districts Including Bluffton

Tax rates on the 1850 duplicate
will be increased in 25 Allen county
taxing subdivisions, including Bluff
ton and the Bluffton exempted viii
lage school district.
A report made last week by Rus
sell L. Hire, county auditor, showed
the Bluffton school district will have
tax rate of S17.45 per thousand;
and in Bluffton village the rate will
be $500.
Beaverdam villages rate of taxa
ton on the 1850 duplicate will be
S19.40 Rate for the Beaverdam
school district, outside the town, is
$15.40, reduced from S16.50.
Highest rate in the county will be
in Harrod villages levy of $21. 40.
Lima has rate of $40 per thousand,
to rank second; and Beaverdam's
rate Of s19.40 is third high.
Lafayette villages rate was reduc-
ed from Sf7.7o to SI7.4o; and
Lafayette Jackson school district rate
was cut from SIS to $14.70.
All told II of the county sub
divisions will have lower rates of
taxation, in comparison with the
25 districts which have shown in
creases.
In many of the subdivisions, how
ever, the higher tax levy is the
result of the 20 cents veterans bonus
levy which will be included in the
tax duplicate for the first time in
the 1850 levy.

where it formed an imposing barrier
from College avenue to the Triplett
parking lot.
Removal of the snow started Sum
day when Buttons Civilian Defense
volunteers swung into action at noon;
and on Monday the regular city street
crew augmented by additional work
ers took over the monumental clean
up job.
Mobilize Equipment
In attacking tons of snow piled
four feet high along each side of the
street thruout the business area,
three dump trucks, nine men, a bull.
dozer and the town street grader
were pressed into service.
The Carma theatre which has
been closed since Sunday night
because of failure of films to ar
rive will resume operation this
Wednesday night, it is stated by
George Carmack, proprietor.
Cleanup equipment had the right
of-way during the digging-out prog
ress, and one-way traffic was the rule
on Main street as operations con-
tinued during the first three days of
the week.
The bulldozer with a power lift ran
down the cutters and the curbs,
scooping up snow from piles four feet
high at the curbs and loading it into
waiting trucks. From the downtown
area the snow was taken to the banks
of the Big Riley where it eventually
will go downstream when thawing
begins.
Record Congestion
Street Commissioner III. l., Coon
said Wednesday that the snow clean
up was the biggest which has faced
the town since he took over his posi-
tion Is years ago.
Altho the downtown area finally
was cleared at noon Wednesday, a
big task still awaited the cleanup
crew, for streets and intersections
thruout the town remained choked
with snow providing countless traps
for venturesome motorists.
Fire hydrants covered with snow
were dug out on Sunday by firemen
and Civilian Defense volunteers, and
an attempt will be made to next un-
cover catch basin gratings to permit
a free flow of water when the snow
begins to melt.

TOWN AND DAIRY
ENGINEERS MEET
ON SEWER DEAL
Policy of Page Dairy Will De-
termine Type OF Sewage
TreatnnAs Here
Plant May be Included i'm City
System or Operate Indi-
vidual Treatment

Municipal decision on what steps
to take on a state order to proceed
Immediately with elimination of pol
luton resulting from the discharge
of sewage into Big and Little Riley
creeks will await a conference be-
tween engineers representing the
city and the Page Dairy Co. to
determine the course of local action.
Whether the dairy plant will in
stall its own system of industrial
waste disposal or make use of the
municipal sewage control plant will
determine the future of the city's
sewerage system planning, it was
pointed out this week.
A decision by Page to handle its
own waste disposal would materially
change the planning so far as the
municipality is concerned, for all
plans to date have been made on the
assumption that the Page plant
would be included in the town
system.
Smaller Plant
If Page should decide to stay out
of the municipal system, the sewage
disposal plant here could be smaller
than originally anticipated, city Of
fcials pointed out, and cost of the
installation would be somewhat
reduced.
On the other hand, if Page oper-
ates a separate system of it's own,
the dairy presumably would not be
required to pay either a revenue or
fiat lot assessment, since the comp
any would not participate in sewer
benefits of the town system.
However, it is assumed that Page
would be required to pay their share
| of the general tax rate to retire the
$18O,0O0 sewer bond issue, levied
against all real estate, which may be
an incentive for the dairy firm to
decide on use of the town disposal
system for treatment of it's wastes
Nothing Definite
! At the present stage of considera-
ton, however, there is no definite
procedure established on the basis
of the tax or revenue levy angle
awaiting an opinion by City Solicitor
John Romey.
Harry Turner, manager of the
Bluffton Page plant, said this weel
that he has no information on wher
the conference will be held between
city and Page engineers, or wha'
Pages position will be in the matter
Mayor w. A. Howe also said tina
he has no indication as to Page
attitude, and information likely vii
not be forthcoming until the confer
ence is held.
