Water Fowl Association Will Meet
Here To Fight Marsh C|osings
CONFERENCE TO
Be HELD FRIDAY

Directors and advisory commit
tee members of the Ohio Water
Fowl Association, irked over the
wholesale closing of marshes ir
the Ottawa county duck hunting
areas, will hold a strategy plan
ming meeting in the Colonial Club
Port Clinton, this Friday opening
it was announced Wednesday.
George Wenger, chairman, OF
Port Clinton said he had called
the meeting for officers and com.
mitteemen only to plan what steps
can be taken to halt the wide.
spread closing of duck hunting
grounds by U. s. wardens repre-
senting the federal natural re-
sources board.
He intimated that the group may
discuss possibilities of taking a
general protest of marsh owners
and duck hunters into court, in
an effort to halt the paralysing
effects of federal intervention up
on the duck hunting sport in nor
thern Ohio marshlands
Marsh owners and sportsmen
agree that many unfounded char
ges of illegal duck feeding have
been made by the agents. 1t Is
estimated that more than a score
of marshes have been closed along
south Lake Erie shores.
Wenger said after program
has been formulated at the Friday
meeting, another general meeting
will be held to which all interest
ed persons will be welcomed to
attend.
He pointed out that many more
owners have been penalized this
season than last season.

Democratic Rallies Set
WOODEN PLANK PLAYS
HAVOC WITH HIGH
SCHOOL HEATING

For the past weeks of school,
considerable attention was being
paid to what was believed to be a
burst steam pipe under the
dressing rooms of the high school
gym. The resulting escape" of
steam was causing considerable
chilliness in the front part of the
school building, including the
home economics room, the super
intendent's office, and the hall
way
While workmen surveyed the
scene, and others tried this way
and that to get to the source of
the trouble, an eagle-eyed work
man spied small pieces of wood in
the steam pipe leading from the
home economics room all clumped
together until they looked much
like peat The probable guess:
When the building was constructed,
or when remodelled, some un-
thinking gay blade evidently plac-
ed a wooden plank (probably 2x4)
in the fitting Over the years the
wood rotted and began to form an
insulation in the pipe, keeping the
heat in and the home economics
girls cold.
At last report, the Board of Edu-
cation will be shown small pieces
of soggy, rotted wood on Thurs
day night-a tribute to some work
man in the past who forgot his
TX 4 and with a sigh Of relief
can think of the money saved in
ripping Mp flooring and trying to
find the source of supposed
steam pipe burst.

A water line extension will be
laid to Payne addition to serve the

erintendent William Crohen re-
ported to council Tuesday.
He said bids will be required by
advertising, which will take a per.
iod of 80 days. Council approved
the project.
Crohen expressed the opinion
that since the new dwelling trend
appears to be going westward in
the city, future plans should en-
brace the extension of water lines
west on Sixth street and Portage
street for installation of additional
fire hydrants to protect the grow
ig homesite areas.

OLD CITY DUMP
IS RE-OPENED

The old city dump on the lake
near central Perry Street, has
re-opened, and will continue in
use until the shore line and de.
pressed areas off shore in the cat.
tail area are filled sufficiently to
be graded level.
The dump was moved to the foot
of Harrison Street, on the Portage
river early last summer when resi-.
dents complained of heavy smoke
from frequent fires on the dump.
Shortly after the dump was
transferred, fires of greater fero.
city and more frequency broke out
at the new site, causing many
trips by the fire department
The cost of dump fire-fighting a.
rose rapidly, city officials report
ed. This was a factor in the re-
opening of the old dump.

Unanim0uSIv
Supports Sewage
Plant Bond Issue
Perry Street Given Badly
Needed Sealing Coat Of
Temporary Surfacing

A winter sealing coat of road
oil and pulverized gravel was laid
on Perry Street from the city linn
its east, to Monroe street this week
by the Henry Bergman contract
ing firm, of Genoa.
The work, costing an approx
mate $4,000, will be financed by
the city, from it's street mainte-
nance funds. The binder coating
is expected to preserve the badly
worn thoroughfare from the rigors
of winter weather. The work was
considered temporary move, un-
til more permanent improvement
can be made through state aid
from the highway department.
City Council instructed the
street department to paint yellow
directional signs under the Madi-
son Street viaduct, to speed right
bound traffic, and prevent 4 traf-
fic bottleneck while the red light
is on.
Many motorists, it was pointed
out, do not understand that they
can turn right on the red light,
when turning into west Third
Street.
Councilman r. E. Reynolds sug-
gested that the street department
investigate the possibility of trim
ming trees along the dark areas
on West Fifth street to provide
better street lighting for the
throngs of football fans who walk
TO the stadium. He said the pave
ments are extremely rough in
places, making foot travel diff
cult. He suggested that if this
would not solve the problem, that
an extra street light be erected
midway in the last block on Fifth
street and at point opposite the
stadium on Harrison street.

PUBLIC HEALTH
IS KEYNOTE FOR
SEWAGE PLAN

A detailed description of the
city's proposed 100000 sewage
treatment plant bond issue was
made before members Of the
Chamber of Commerce by City So
licitor John l.. Reinheimer Thurs
day of last week, resulting in the
Chambers unanimous endorse
ment of the plan which will be SUBJ
mitted to the voters November 4.
In summing up all aspects of
the bond issue, Reinheimer de-
clared favorable action is practi-
cally mandatory on a demand from
the State of Ohio which fcalls
for action or litigation" These
are the only alternatives, left to
the city, he added.
Estimates Erroneous
Reinheimer stated that every
citizen will ask about the cost,
and has a right to know. Various
estimates as to individual cost
have been offered and rumored,
some of the erroneous ones run
ming as high as $23 thousand on
property valuation.
Actually the estimate Of a year
ago was not $23, but $3.50 per
thousand" he said, adding, "Due
to revaluation of the real estate in
this city, this estimate has now
been reduced to So thousand.
In other words, if a mans home
is on the tax duplicate for $1,000,
the estimated cost to him is $1,000
per year for twenty-five years,
and an examination of the dupli-
cate for Port Clinton will show
that a great majority of the homes
in town are carrying a tax value
of less than $5,OO0.OO, although
you probably could not buy any
one of them for less than two or
three times that amount"
