Now that Camp Perry Prison is we'll in it's third
week of existence and the community has had op-
portunty to become somewhat adjusted to the sudden
changeover it might be well to appraise the situation
from objective point of view.
Some folks worried the prison will be per-
manent - others equally concerned that it won't
In the excitement that always accompanies quick
change, some see in the move opportunity to i'm
prove local business conditions by Selling the
gency action basis for concentrated local effort
to convince the state that the Perry site should be
converted into permanent penitentary.
Enthusiasm in quarters heightened during the
past week suddenly-inspired individuals painted
bright picture hued, of with the green of dol
ar) of the thousands of visitors coming into the
every day to visit prisoners that might be housed at
Perry.
Those who realistic recognize that there
number of other factors to be considered - that
usually important decisions not made with snap
judgment
First of all, both the state and federal military
have had other longrange plans for Camp Perry
permanent antaircraft training base long has been in
the making and only under the most stringent pressure
would the military relinquish the site for anything but

PERMANENT
INJUNCTION
SOUGHT HERE

Whether or not a restraining
order obtained year ago by Air
Tours, Inc, against the city Of
Port Clinton will remain perma-
nent is now in the hands of Com
mon Pleas Judge Ralph Surgrue,
of Tiffin.
Judge Surgrue presided over a
hearing held here Wednesday in
what constituted another round in
the long legal battle over manage
ment of Port Clinton's municipal
airport.
The one-day hearing was mark
ed with testimony by Mayor Carl
Becker, President of Council Har-
old Nielsen, and William Crohen,
superintendent Of the city water
works and clerk of the city's Pub
lie Utility Board, all of whom tes-
tilted for the city. The plaintiff,
Air Tours, offered no witnesses.
Earlier, council resolutions,
contracts, leases and real estate
deeds had been introduced by AT
torney Leslie Meyer, representing
tn plaintiff, Air Tours, Inc, and
by U. G. Denman, Toledo attorney
who represented the city.
Mr.. Nielsen testified that he had
examined ordinances and council
minutes from Jan. 1, 1941, to the
present and found no record Of
any ordinance having been passed
pertaining to the operation of the
airport.
He recalled that council had
cancelled the contract with Air
Tours, Inc, because of several
complaints Of poor service; that
two bids had been received. but
that council had rejected both.
In cross-eXamination, Mr.. Mel
sen expressed a personal belief
that the bid of Dietrich Aviation
Service of Sandusky would have
been accepted had not the city
solicitor advised that it was an il
legal bid.
/ Mayor Becker testified briefly
that both bids were rejected and
Mr. Crohen stated that he had
been unable to find anything
about the airport in minutes of
the Board of Public Affairs.
In opening arguments, Attorney
Meyer reviewed the history of the
airport and its operations under
the citys contract with Air Tours,
Inc.
He said that Air Tours had Of
fered a bid in October, 1851, to
pay $1,000 year for five years
and that the only other bid was
from Dietrich Aviation, Inc, of

Let's Not Get Excited

Secondly, those who anticipate that permanent
prison or penitentary would attract thousands" of
visitors every week-and incidentally comparable
number of business dollarsare headed for dsappont
ment. Welfare officials tell that it's matter of
record that visitors rare; that in reality inmates
forgotten people, often neglected if not entirely
ignored by relatives and others.
Thirdly the Perry site never was intended to do
anything but through emergency period =
which may be anywhere from three to six months The
state for time has been expanding present penal
institutions at Mansfield, Marion Rosevie, London and
Lebanon and eventually hopes to the pententia1y
at Columbus reception and classification center,
with perhaps only the most incorrigibe inmates con-
fined there.
Obviously, Camp Perry would have entered
re picture at all if this expansion program had been
completion before the recent riots in the over
crowded Columbus pen.
We're not trying to throw cold water the idea
that Camp Perry should be converted into five or
10,000-inmate prison 1t may may not have merit.
But we do believe that project of this magnitude
should be gone into only after thorough investigation
and with careful planning It's certainly not some
thing that anyone with sound judgment would to
Jump into without first knowing where he intended
to leap.
