COUNCIL ADOPTS
Sewer BOND
ISSUE ORDER

Final reading of an ordinance
which authorizes submittal of a
100000 sewage plant bond issue
to the voters next November, was
approved by city council Tues
day evening.
The proposed bond issue is to
cover the cost of sewage treat
ment plant, which the city has
been ordered to build by the State
Health Department. A new law,
becoming effective this fall, pro-
hibits disposal by any municipal
ity of waste matter in open
waters in the state of Ohio.
A proposed sewer rental
charge of so cents per month to
help defray cost of modern
sewage treatment plant, was de
feated at the polls last Novem-
her
Due to extreme heat the coun-
cilmanic session was speeded up
considerably. The question OF
what to do about the many
signs along Perry street came
up for discussion after the
building committee reported that
it had no policy concerning what
signs should remain and wha;
should be ordered removed. Coun-
Gil decided a problem as ponder
Gus as this one should be tabled
for a cooler meeting night 1t was
pointed out that among the signs
were several which inform mo,
torists and pedestrians as to the
location of local churches.
Councilman Leroy Bracken said
the building committee has not
established a policy as to what
can legally 60 up and what should
come down in the way of signs
under regulations of an ordin-
ance which was passed earlier
this month regulating all signs
in the city.

News Launches Drive For New Circulation Mark
Ohio Central Republican Committee
Ignores Ottawa County 6. O. P.

Local political observers specu.
lated this week on the effect in
this area of recent action taken by
the Ohio Republican Central and
Executive Committee.
In addition to ousting Ed Schorr,
former state chairman, from the
organizations policy committee,
the top brass of the G. o. P. saw
fit to completely ignore Ottawa
County in making its major ap-
pointments.
Mr.. Schorr has been at odds
with Ray Bliss, current state chair
man, as we'll as with Charles P
Taft of Cincinnati, Republican can
didate for governor.
Observers here, in some instan
ces, have construed the party's
over looking Of Ottawa County as
an indication that the state organi-
zation already has conceded vic
tory here to the Democrats.
In all but three instances DemOc
rats are unopposed for county Of
iices and the Ottawa County court
house is a certainty to be occu.
pied by Democrats for another
four year period.
The new G. o. P. policy commit
tee is made up of Ray Bliss, Of
Akron, state chairman; Mrs. Flor
ence G. Morris, Toledo, vice chair
man; Miss Albina r. Cermak
Cleveland, secretary; Fred J. Ne
theirs, GAINESVILLE, treasurer; Mrs
Lou Ella Buker, Canton; Mrs. Mar
