FIRST ACTION
TAKEN TUESDAY
Lengthy Legislation Seen Be-
fore Housing Project Could
Be Part OF City

First official action in the pro-
posed annexation of Erie Gardens
to the city of Port Clinton was
taken Tuesday evening when mem
bers of the city council approved
for first reading an ordinance
which authorizes the city solicitor
to prosecute the proceedings
necessary to effect such anneXa-
ton.
~. Included in such annexation
would be portions of both the "old
and new" sections of the local
public housing project. Most Of
the "old" section is within the
city. limits while part of the new
section is in Bay Township.
Under the present ordinance,
the city is petitioning for the an
nexation instead of individual
property owners as is customary
in such cases.
1t is understood that trustees
in Bay and Portage Township
would be in favor of such annex.
alton to the city, along with the
majority of the Erie Gardens resi-
dents.
A recent request of Erie Gard
ems voters for establishment of a
voting booth in their vicinity has
been tabled by the trustees, who
have no funds available for such
an expenditure.
At present, the federal govern
ment makes annual payments in
lieu of taxes to the county and
these payments are then allocateo
to the political subdivisions.
Sewer facilities, police and fire
protection are now furnished by
the city. The annexation ordi-
nance will be given readings
again at the next two council
meetings.
There have been rumors that
some opposition to the plan is de-
veloping and that petition to
stop the proposed annexation is
being circulated in "the Gardens"

COUNCIL PREPARES
FOR DISPOSAL PLANT
Would Become Effective On
Jan. / With First Billings
Due In March

In an effort to raise some funds
for the proposed construction Of
a sewage disposal plant and for
other sewage renovationS, city
councilmen Tuesday evening ap.
proved first reading of an ordi-
nance which will make the sewage
rental service effective as or
January /.
The proposed sewer rental will
be assessed upon each lot, parcel
of land, building or premises hav-
ing any sewer connection within
the city limits. A study is being
made now so that. the owners of
vacant lots, having no sewer or
water main connections, will also
be charged.
Under the proposed ordinance
private citizens will be charged
a minimum of $500 per year or
so per cent of the water bill while
industrial plants will be charged
so cents per month for each 10
persons employed.
Schools and other public build.
ings will not be exempt from the
sewer rental charge.
AS the ordinance must be read
at two more meetings, it cannot
become effective before January
/. With that effective date, first
billing for sewer rental will be in
March, Waterworks Supt. William
Crohen stated.
Funds collected from the sewer
rental shall be deposited with the
city treasurer and shall be kept
separate from other funds and
will be known as the Sewer Fund.
This sewer fund can be used
for maintenance, operation and
repair of the sewerage system, for
sewage pumping and treatment
or disposal works. Any surplus
may be- used for enlargement or
replacement of same and for pay
ment of interest on any debt in
Cured for construction of such
sewerage system or treatment and
disposal works and for creation
of sinking fund.
Members of the Board of Pub
lie Affairs will manage, conduct
and control such sewerage sys-
TENS. Mr.. Crohen and his staff
will do the necessary billing and
collecting work.
Carleton Finkbeiner, Toledo
consulting engineer, was present
at the council meeting in interests
of the sewage disposal plant sur
vey. He advised that the last
survey, conducted in 1947, is out
dated and that another estimate
is now necessary.
Finkbeiner promised to have
the new survey ready for presen-
tation at the next council meet
ing, but advised council that costs
would be much higher than the
$675,000 estimate of three years
ago.

Garyey Accepts Post
In Christian Group
Aiding UJA Campaign

Gov. Dan E. Garvey of Arizona
has accepted appointment to the
National Christian Committee of
the United Jewish Appeal, it was
announced by Rep. Franklin D.
Roosevelt, Jr., national chairman
of the committee.
Garvey is among the initial
Committee of One Hundred, con-
sisting of prominent Christian
business and professional leaders,
which has been organized to rally
Americans of all faiths for the
immigration, settlement and re-
habilitation programs supported
by the UJA.
The United Jewish Appeal is
campaigning in 1850 to meet the
minimum budgetary needs, total
ing $272,455,800, of its three con-
stituent agencies = the United
Palestine Appeal, the Joint Dis
tribution Committee, and the
United Service for New Ameri-
cans.
Governor Garvey's acceptance
of position in the National
Christian Committee of the United
Jewish Appeal is deeply crafty
ing" Roosevelt said. "In making
his time and effort available to
help rally Americans of all faiths
behind the UJA, he is acting in
the finest tradition of American
philanthropy. His efforts will helE
rescue and rehabilitate the hun,
dreds of thousands of Jews who
lost their homes and their means
of earning a livelihood during
World War ii"

the immigrant camps is so serious
that it is taking on the character
of a calamity which is liable to
affect the very existence of Israel.
"Tens upon tens of thousands
of refugees who have at last
reached their goal-a homeland
where they can live and work and
bring up their families in decency
and in hope-are condemned to
idleness and to Illustration of spirit
and to moral despair in the sub
human conditions of the immigra-
ton camps because we have not
the means to bring in the materials
and to provide the machinery and
the wherewithal to build homes
for them," he stated.

generate a billion kilowatt hours
of electricity a year.
Similarly, he holds, Arizona
should finance its own Colorado
River development without de-
pending on the government. This,
he says, can be done by rescind-
ing the Santa Fe Compact, and
setting up an irrigation and power
district under the filings of the
late Fred Golfer, also an Arizona
legislator.
Emulate California
Kartus, who discussed this sub
ject recently before the Phoenix
Zionist District, argued that Israel
can duplicate California's feat of
sustaining a great mass immigra
ton.
"And whereas California has
needlessly invaded the rights of
Arizona in so doing" he said, "Is-
rael in developing the Jordan Au
thority will not infringe on but
benefit her neighbors.
The legislator said the financing
could be carried out, not with do
nations, but through self
liquidating project similar to the
one he advocates for Arizona.
"This," he said, "should require
no more than the customary in
vestments which can be obtained
through usual and ordinary busi-
ness channels"
Canal and Tunnel
Kartus outlined the Jordan
project in this way: 1t would in
volve a seven-mile canal and a
2OO-mile tunnel to link the Medi-
terranean Sea and the Jordan de-
preston by gravity. They would
carry up to a million acre feet of
water and generating a billion
kilowatt hours of electricity an
nually as the water falls to the
floor of the Jordan Valley.
The legislator compared this
with southern California's Metro
politan Water District aqueduct
from Parker Dam to Los Angeles.
He pointed out that this is 10
times the length of the proposed
Jordan aqueduct and requires a
pump lift, consuming much of the
electricity developed.
Big Power Revenue
"Instead of the enormous ex-
pense of buying power to pump
WITH" he explained, 'the Jordan
diversion will enjoy vast reve-
nue. from power sales to pay back
it's costs and aid in reclaiming the
lands of Palestine and in the pro-
cress of the people of Israel. Com
pared with the Los Angeles aque-
duct. it is far more feasible and
economical and can be more cas-
lily financed"
And yet, Kartus pointed out
California financed its aqueduct
itself. He added that if the "fal
more costly and less beneficial
Los Angeles project could stano
on it's own feet, without federal
subsidy, $50 can the Jordan prof
ect."
Raps Arizona Bill
"And," he continued, $50 car
Arizona's Colorado River projects
which are 20 times the size anC
proportionately richer than thu
Jordan development"
, Kartus charged that the Centra
Arizona Project bill passed by th'
Senate and now before the Hous'
would be disastrous to the futur'
of Arizona, as it would doom hun
dreds of thousands of irrigated
lands in our state to the desert
preclude the agricultural expan
sion of Arizona for all time ant
give our power in the Grand Can
yon to California"

In order to answer these ques-
tions l turned to Georgie's best
friend, Eddie Cantor, who has
known him longer and better than
any man living.
Says Eddie: "In my home l have
special room on the wall of
which hang personally-inscribed
photographs from my friends. If
there's one, there must be a dozen
pictures of this guy Jessel. There's
a good reason. Ours has been a

He'll owe you $12 from a gin

20 bucks and the check room girl
five. Of course, with the latter he
figures he might marry her in a
wild moment.
'HE'S THE fastest guy on his
feet I've ever known. To play with
him on a stage is a constant chal-

formal education, l am continually
amazed where he finds such words

"He is equally at home at a

woman's auxiliary, or a social
group of eX-umbrella makers. The
things he has said on the spur Of
the moment have become legend" "
Eddie goes on to explain that,
for instance, on his first trip to
Hollywood to make a picture,
Jessel told the gang at Lindy's,

guy who'll get off at Albuquerque
and sell blankets to the Indians"
And when someone told Eddie he

certainly couldn't take it with him,
