STATE MOVES TO CONDEMN BONO
MARSHES FOR PUBLIC PLAYGROUND

Notice of condemnation of a
strip of lake shore property at
Bono, near Toledo, which is prin-
cipally owned by Attorney Leslie
F. Meyer, POI Short street, was
issued last week by Attorney
General c. William O'Neill.
The state intends to convert
the existing duck marsh into a
public bathing beach and play
ground at a cost of $500,000 for
use by residents of Ottawa and
Lucas counties.
Owners Of the property, situ-
ated on Crane Creek, have resist
ed efforts of the state to acquire
the property for more than a
year, due to inadequate offers.
They declare Sportsmen have
regarded the 4,800 stretch Of
beach and marShland as a duck
hunters paradise. 1t contains so
acres in all, for which the state
has offered $18,168. This sum
would be expended out Of an ap-
preparation of $150,OOO which the
legislature approved last year.
The appropriation for the newest
Lake Erie project will expire
June 80.
Attorney Meyer is listed as the
principal owner, but others inter-

State Pine Seeding
Supply Exhausted

Columbus - O. A. Alderman,
chief of the Forestry Division,
reports that pine paintings which
we're available to the public at
the state nurseries have been
completely exhausted.
He added however that plant
ings of black locust, sycamore,
chestnut oak, red gum, white ash,
thornless honey locust, Usage
orange and catalpa are still avail
able.
The seedlings may be purchas-
ed for any land outside the cor
porate limits of cities and vii
lagos and for all tax supported in
StitutlonS. The price of the seed.
lingS range from SO to SIS per
thousand.
Applications can be obtained
from all County Agricultural
Agents and from the Forestry Di-
vision headquarters in Columbus.

ested are Walter and Charles
Michael, we'll known industrialists,
Of Bucyrus; A. w. Wood, Cleve-
land, and Ralph Boyd, Gallon
manufacturer, who hold rental
rights.
For years these men have taken
their friends on annual shooting
tours of the Bono marShlandS.
Duck hunting in the area has al
ways been good, they claim.
The attorney general has de-
creed that the property must be
sold by condemnation February 5,
if the owners refuse to turn 1t
over to the state at its prot
fered price.
Meyer said last week that the
state had never offered any
specific sum for the beach land,
and added that the price given
out by the attorney generals Of
flee was not adequate for the
property. He said the tract would
make a beautiful park eventually
but will require a type of road
way which will prove an expen-
sive state undertaking.
