COUNCIL VOTES
STREET REPAIR

After a lengthy discussion dur
ing which practically everyone in
council chambers with the eXcep-
ton of newspaper reporters) at
tempted to explain the differences
between hot mix, motor mix, sur
face treatment, macadam, cold
mix, and blacktop processes for
road repairs, city councilmen Tues.
day night voted to advertise for
bids to repair three blocks in East
Second Street.
Failing to agree on which proc
ess is better, council will ask bids
both for TBS blacktop and/or mo
tor mix to repair East Second ST.
from Fulton to Hayes Avenue.
They also agreed to permit the
Board of Public Utilities to con
tinue with its plan to repair Jef
ferSon Street from Third to Sec
ond, and Adams Street from Third
with motor mix on the pave por
ton and surface treatment on the
parking strip.
Despite numerous explanations
and descriptions, it was evident
that council was still confused
when the motion was approved
Motor mix is cheaper than TIE
and Councilman Dave Jeremy
stated it is better road. Others
disagreed.
Trinity Methodist Church board
by letter, thanked council fol
widening Adams Street near the
church and thus providing more
parking space.
Approved were ordinances in
creasing the clerk of councils sal
ary, effective Jan. 1, 1854, and ap
proving a new waterline for thu
westerly portion of the D. w
Payne addition.
Councilman Lee Bracken asket
the harbor master for a plan tt

property, control will be difficult

PORT CLINTON WILL BE 125 YEARS
old ON TUESDAY, JUNE 16

While all Ohioans observe the
Sesquicentennial of our "Best State
in the Nation" this year, Port Clin-
ton residents this week also are
taking note of the 125th anniver-
sary of the founding of Port Clin-
ton on June 16.
When the white man was out
numbered twenty TO one by the
American Indian in what is now
Ottawa County, a famous New
York statesman and the Surveyor
General of the Northwest Terri
tory were focusing their attention
on the mouth of the Portage River,
already highlighted by association
with such history-making names as
Joseph Gaspard deLery, General
William Harrison and Commodore
Oliver Perry.
The year was 1924.
Dewitt Clinton, famous New
York statesman, proposed the
building of canal from the mouth
of the Portage River in Sandusky
County, Ohio, to the Ohio River at
Cincinnati.
General William Lytle of Cincin-
natl, who was Surveyor-General of
the Northwest Territory, received
with favor the canal-building prop
osition, and in the same year be-
gan buying large tracts of land in
Ottawa County news. (Port Clinton, Ohio) 1931-1956, 1953-06-12

this area, excepting 1912 acres in
Sandusky County, owned by Horton
Howard and wife of Columbus,
Ohio.
In 1927, Ezekiel Smith Haines,
stepSon of General Lytle, bought
the 1912 acres for four thousand
dollars, the date of transfer being
No. 26, 1927. The plating of the
village of Port Clinton was begun
on this site and completed in June
of 1928. The work was done by
General Lytle, Ezekiel and Elias
Haines, o. NJ Spencer and others,
mostly residents of Cincinnati.
The fact of its having been laid
out as town plat was put on rec
ord June Is, 1923. These records
may be seen at the Courthouse in
Fremont, Ohio.
Ezekiel Haines named this town
Port Clinton. Since many details of
Mr.. Haines' plan for-the town and
for himself were connected with
the development of the proposed
canal, it is reasonable to think he
wished to honor Dewitt Clinton
who was known as ''the father of
the Erie Canal'', and whose death
occurred in February, 1928. four
months before the plating of the
town was completed.

terday, Mr.. Humphrey gave no
hint of how the administration
expected to get the extension
bill past Mr.. Reeds road block.
The proper procedure, he sug-
gested, would be for Mr.. Reed
and the administration to state
their opposing views clearly and
forcefully, and then let Congress
decide.
Simpson Bill is Topic.
The measure considered by the
committee today was the second
of two bills sponsored by Rep
resentative Simpson, Republican,
of Pennsylvania, a committee
member. The first bill, passed
earlier this month by Congress,
extended the Reciprocal Trade
Act for one year beyond June IL,
increased the membership of the
Federal Tariff Commission from
six to seven and created a IT.
member commission to study
trade and tariff problems and re-
port next year.
Mr.. Simpsons present bill,
which is being fought vigorously
by Democrats and some Repub-
licans, would add several reStric-
tive provisions to the existing
law. 1t would impose quotas on
oil imports and raise tariffs on
lead and zinc. 1t would make the
tariff commissions findings
binding on the President. instead
of being merely advisory, as un-
der the present law.
