City Wide Fire Inspection Drive Is Planned Here For Apr
Fruit Growers Protest Diversion
OF Route Traffic To Expressway

On behalf of Danbury and Gyp-
sum fruit growers and the Port
Clinton Chamber of Commerce, a
formal protest was sent to the
state highway department in CO.
lumbuS last week against possible
diversion of traffic from U. S.
Route 2, the tourist artery, to the
proposed Toledo expressway con-
Meeting with route 20.
The spokesman, who wired the
protest to J. T. Kauer, Ohio high
way director, is A. w. Kalb, for
mer legislator and well known Of
tawa county fruit grower.
He said business men of this
area definitely do not want traffic
diverted from route 2 in eastern
Ottawa county, which has become
popular lakeshore highway
since Bay Bridge was freed of
toll.
Under plans which were out
lined in Toledo last week, the
proposed bypass expressway will
begin at the Ohio-Michigan state
line and terminate at Woodville
road just west of the Olney school.
State highway engineers are
proposing that the expressway
connect with a new four-lane div
ided highway which would extend
southwark to connect with U. S.
Route 20. This would result, they
explain, in the relocation of state
route 12O from Woodville road
between Toledo and Elmore.
The communication Kalb sent
to Kauer, he said was submitted
in behalf of the interests of the
Port Clinton Chamber of Com
merce as we'll as the Danbury
Island and Gypsum Fruit Growers
Association.

BAY FISHING BILL GETS FIRST PUBLIC HEARING
C CONSERVATION 0
CIR 0 UP VISITS
HERE THURSDAY

The aging feud between COM
mercial fishermen ana hook-and-
liners advanced to the public hear
ing stage this week when anglers
from Fremont and Sandusky APP
peared in Columbus Tuesday to
argue the merits and demerits of
a fishing area control bill intr-
duced jointly by Miss Esther Har-
dy, Sandusky representative in
the house, with Leslie Burge, as
semblyman from Lorain.
A companion bill, which was
discussed favorably as a compro-
mise measure to meet the prob
lens of the 40-year issue, was
that which was introduced sever
al weeks ago by Rep. Robert w.
Reider, of Ottawa county. The
hearing was held before the
House committee on conserva-
tion.
Interest in the issue was furth-
er heightened by a visit to OF
tawa county Thursday of this week
by members of the House conser-
vation committee, headed by its
chairman, Charles Mite h, Of
Springfield. The group attended
Farmers Night sponsored by the
Port Clinton Kiwanis Club in the
EUB Church auditorium Thursday
evening. They were joined by
conservationists and farmers from
the Catawba, Lakeside and Marble
head areas, all of whom were
guests of KiwaniS.
Members of the Conservation
committee planned to make tour
of the entire Bay area Friday in
an attempt to evaluate the COM
mercial and sportsmens fishing
potentialities. 1t is expected that
a report will be made to the De-
partment of Conservation at a
later date.
The Hardy-Burge bill extensive
ly restricts commercial fishing
areas and uses of nets and trot
lines, even to the sizes of threads
in nets. Reider's bill has been
hailed by many sportsmen as an
| equitable compromise measure
which does not 60 to the ex-
tremes set up in Bill 655, but as
sures fair consideration for both
sides in the complicated issue.
His BILL known as No. 652, has
been given widespread support by
Fremont and other Sportsmen Of
Northern Ohio.
