TO Vote AGAIN
ON SCHOOL LEVY
North Bass Residents Plan
Special Election June 6 For
School Project

Residents of North Bass Island
putin Bay Township Precinct q
will vote in a special election
Tuesday, June 6, on a bond issue
of $4,000 as their share for the
construction of a new school
building to replace the present
structure.
Voters at the island last year
had approved the 7.6 mill levy
for a maximum period of 20 years,
but through a slip-up in mails
the levy had not been approved
by the state tax commissioner be-
fore the election.
Despite the unanimous vote OF
16 to 0 in favor of the levy, the
North Bass school board and its
attorneys decided to hold another
election to remedy the mixup.
There are IL students in the
North Bass grade school. High
school students come to Port
Clinton or one of the other main
land cities. If the levy is agar
approved by the voters, the Ohio
Rehabilitation Board must alsC
approve the project before tn
construction of the new schoo
building can be started.

SEWER SEARCH
PLANNED HERE
TO EASE FLOODS
Investigators To Tour East
End To Check For Con-
nectiOnS With Sewers

East End residents who havt
defied an existing city ordinance
by permitting roof water to en-
ter the sanitary sewer system can
save themselves possible fines by
making immediate changes.
Council took action Tuesday
evening which authorizes a house
to-house inspection by Building
Inspector Walter Miller, during
which he will use pingpong balls,
on which respective house num-
bers have been written to ascer-
tain that the ordinance is not be-
ing violated.
The pingpong balls will float
in the sewer to the East End lift
station, where they will be re-
trieved-if the resident has his
down spout from the roof con-
nected to the sanitary sewer.
The drastic action was taken
after Waterworks Engineer Will
liam Crohen and engineers from
the Toledo firm of Finkbeiner,
Petit and Stroud told council that
it was useless to purchase new
pumps for the lift station unless
the rain water condition was
changed.
Carleton Finkbeiner announced
that bids from two firms, Black
Machine Shop, Port Clinton, and
Mosser Construction Company,
Fremont, had been received for
purchase of pumps for the lift
station.
Bids were asked for a 500 gal
Ion per minute pump and motor
and for two alternates, two 800
&. p. m. pumps and two $50 G. p.
m. pumps. Black entered bids of
$1435, $2338 and $2234, respec-
lively, while Mosser bid $1938,
$3186 and $3.50.
No action was taken as the en-
gineers were instructed to inves-
tigate the bids closely and to in
sure that the pumps purchased
would be the best available.
While the sewer ordinance has
long prohibited surface water in
sanitary sewers, engineers be-
lieve that many residents in the
east end are guilty of the mis-
demeanor and that difficulties
with the lift station pumps are
attributable to the floods.
Crohen stated that the lift sta
ton is overloaded Is minutes az
ter a rainstorm, and that such q
"f1ood" could only be caused by
water from roof spouts.
In nearby cities, Finkbeiner de-
clared, regulations enforce resi-
dents to run water from their
roofs to the street curbs.
Form letters will be printed OF
the sewer ordinance and will be
handed to each property owner
with a signature being required.
Mr.. Miller will begin his inspec
tion as soon as possible as the
"rainy season" is upon us. Resi-
dents who have down spouts con
nected to the sanitary sewer viii
be given a short period of time
ito correct the situation, aftel
which fines will be levied.
Miller will drop pingpong balls
down the spouts in all houses
where there is a possibility of tn;
wrong sewer connection. Eac'
ball will bear the number of th'
house being checked.

AT P. c. AIRPORT
Councilmen Agree To Pay
Union Supply Co. For
Extras" On Fire Truck

City councilmen did an abrupt
about face Tuesday evening when
they voted unanimously to pay the
Union Supply Company of Toledo
$3.50 for extras" placed on the
new fire truck.
Two weeks ago, the councilmen
had refused to pay the bill, stat
ing that the extras were not in
cluded in the contract. This week,
after Mayor Becker and Council
man Roland Schaper had talked in
favor of the payment, the bill was
ordered paid.
Councilmen took the action $50
that we can get this thing out of
our minds.
Mrs. George Wenger, Mrs. AL
Kalb and Mrs. Bertha Woner, re-
presenting the Port Clinton Gard
en- Club, attended the meeting and
asked councils aid in several pro-
jects.
The ladies asked that the flow
er beds in Adams Street parkway
around the monument at the
lake end of Fulton Street be
planted with colorful flowers, and
!, that the scrubby undeveloped
trees in city parks be removed.
They also asked the city to cut
! the grass in the Port Clinton Gar
den Clubs rock garden project
across the bridge. Mrs. Wenge1
said the club had gone on record
disappearing the proposed remov.
al OF an ancient tree in Adams
Street parkway, which would b.
necessary if the street is widened
Mayor Becker promised the la
dies that the requests would b
fulfilled and that the Adams
Street project probably wouldn'
be completed for a long time.

ments at the local airport wa

Schaper said that the land j

QueStiOnnaires Sent Out.
The Medical and Chirurgicai
Faculty of Maryland, consisting
largely of officials of medical So
cieties, announced it is sending
questionnaires to 1896 doctors.
The doctors will be asked about
previous military experience and
other information to help in de-
Gliding the number and order in
which Maryland's quota could be
filled.
1t. Gen. James A. Van Fleet, I'd
Army commander, indicated last
Monday that the Districts quota
would be II doctors and 4 dentists.
He requested conferences this
week with District medical and
dental societies to map out pro-
gram for selecting medical and
dental personnel for active duty
He said the Army hopes to get
most of the officers it needs
through voluntary programs.
In the draft picture there had
been indications for some time
that further calls would come
after the September and October
quotas are filled.
Gen. Hershey, according to Au-
gust l testimony disclosed by the
House Appropriations Committee
said the international situation is
so unsettled that no one can esti-
mate accurately the number likely
to be called in the next few
months.
Wouldn't Meet Needs.
He revealed that he had been
authorized July to draft 1876, 900
men in the year ending next June
80. He said that the 100000 to
be called in September and Oc-
tober and the expected $4,000 call
for November would leave only
$4,000 for induction during the
remaining months until June 80.
That would be far from enough to
meet needs, he indicated.

closed session August l was in
connection with a requested sup

Another Negro Sues
To Enter Maryland U.
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Aug. 16.-Anothe1
suit to compel admission of q
Negro to the University of Mary
land was added today to six al
ready pending in Baltimore City
Court. Latest to bring action was
j27-year-old Parren j. Mitchell OF
Baltimore.
The suit contended his applica-
ton for admission to the univer-
sity's graduate School of Sociology
has been ignored solely because he
is a Negro.
Mr.. Mitchell is asking a court
order compelling the university to
admit him. The university's fail
ure to do so, Mr.. Mitchell argued
violates both the Federal and the
Maryland constitutions.
Maryland's Court of Appeals
ruled in a similar suit last year
that the university must admit
Miss Esther McCready. colored, to
its School of Nursing.
The State is preparing to appeal
to the Supreme Court of the
United States.
Maryland's reply in that in
stance was that by offering Miss
McCready a nursing education at
Meharry Medical College in Ten
nessee, 1t is fulfilling the consti-
tutional obligation to furnish
equal educational opportunities to
it's citizens.
The Appeals Court had ruled
that this must be done within the

| Marshall Plan Called
Decided Success by
Expert Study Group
by the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-The
European Recovery Program has
thus far been a decided, though
not unqualified, success, according
to a study of the Marshall Plan
sponsored by the Council I on
Foreign Relations.
The study, published yesterday
under the title of "The Economics
of Freedom" was made by a
group of experts under the chair
manship of Gen. Eisenhower.
Monday, John w. Livingston,
vice president of the CIO United
Auto Workers and head of a 12-
man UAW-CIO group just back
from Europe, said the Marshall
Plan "is a miserable failure to
date as far as the common man is
concerned" He said the plan is
enriching factory owners, but not
helping the workers.
Yesterdays report by the group
of experts was written by Dr.
Howard S. Ellis, past president of
the American Economic Associa-
tion, with the aid of a technical
staff including economists and po-
litical scientists.
EiSenhower's Comment.
| Gen. Eisenhower, in an intro
ductory comment, wrote:
"Dr. Ellis indicates that the
whole job is not going to be COM
pleted by 1852, when the European
Recovery Program is scheduled tt
end. A splendid start will have
been made, but still only start
DR.. Ellis termed the Marshall
Plan mainly an investment op-
Grafton"
THE augmentation of European
resources by SIS billion worth oi
United States goods has been, and
is, providing the wherewithal for
a four-year program of re-equip-
ment," he wrote.
Looking beyond the scheduled
end of ERP, DR.. Ellis stressed the
need to maintain a high level OF
economic activity in the United
States.
Fear U. S. Depression.
Fear of depression in the
United States is one of the main
springs of European economic iso-
lationiSm, anti-dollar import de-
vices, bilateralism and of skepti-
cism and. indeed, even hostility
toward our international policies. ;
