Bids Are Double
Estimated Costs
On Memorial Home

Contractors bids for the new Men
monte Memorial Home were 100 per
cent greater than the architects esti-
mate of construction cost, 1921 900 as
compared with $110,750, when bids
were opened Monday night in the
Musselman library building on the
Bluffton college campus.
In bidding by four general contrac-
tors; four electrical contractors and
one plumbing and heating contractor,
the lowest combination resulted in the
1921 900 figure, which is double the
$11O,750 estimate of the architect as
to what the home for the aged would
cost.
Members of the building committee,
the home board of trustees and the
architect will meet this Friday night
to determine what changes can be
made in specifications to pare con-
struction costs, it was announced
Tuesday by d. w. Bixler, treasurer of
the building committee.

July Weather
Nearly Average,
Reports ShOU

July may have seemed like a
beastly hot month to you, and you
may have yearned to head for q
cooler spot in the north woods, but
weatherwise, July was almost a per-
feet month, according to Ray Burk-
holder, official weather observer of
near Pandora.
The mean temperature of TAI
degrees was near the normal of
1879 degrees, while the rain of 3.43
inches was also near the areas
normal of 3.46 inches.
However, during the daytime, the
temperature rose into the COS on
IL days of the month, bringing the
total so far this summer to 26
days of 80 degree temperature or
higher. This is within one day of
the average for a whole summer
and August is getting off to a
good start.
Evenings, on the whole, were cool
during July, the thermometer hav-
ing dropped into the 40's on four
days. The low of 46 on July 10th
was within three degrees of the
July record of 43 degrees recorded
on July 8, 1895, and again on July
IA, 1850.
Although some nearby observa-
tion stations reported heavier rain
on Saturday and Sunday, Burk-
holders instruments showed .43 of
an inch fell on Saturday and .18 of
an inch on Sunday.
Agricultural experts said the rain
fall will have a particularly bene-
ficial effect on gardens and on corn
and pasture crops.

Members of the Bluffton Mems and
Women's Garden clubs were elated
this weekend with showers which
brought their blossoms into good
condition for show purposes. In
spired by the realization that this
years exhibits will be viewed by a
larger and possibly more critical
group, exhibitors are doubling their
efforts to make this the finest show
ever.
The Flower Festival will open in
Founders Hall on the college campus
Z o'clock Friday evening until 10:30,
will be held open all day Saturday
from a. m. until 10:30 p. m. and
again on Sunday afternoon from / to
5 o'clock.
One hour preliminary to the form
al opening on Friday will be known
as Photography Hour wherein photo
graphers will be given free hand to
snap flash bulbs and shoot their pic
lures from any angle they desire un-
disturbed by the usual throng of
spectators.
Spectators at the show will view
one of the largest displays ever seen
in this area. Amateurs will compete
in four sections-specimen class, ar
tistic arrangements, table settings
and feature composition. In the
Junior class there are three sections.
The feature department of the show
offers six sections-dahlias. dolphin
iums, roses, gladiolus, arrangements
for men only, and the usual exhibits,
plus arrangements for each section.
An outstanding attraction is ex-
pected to be the large exhibit section,
in which each exhibitor will use a
five feet by three feet space for either
hibiscus, orchids, lilies, chrysanthe-
NUNS, gladioli, dahlias, mixed flowers
and any others not listed.
Scores of valuable prizes will be
awarded to winners in the various
classifcations, and the winners will
be marked prior to the opening of
the show.
The show is open to the public, and
there is no admission charge.

Dial Telephones Soon? Not Likely,

said, and the new rates proposed
are comparable with those now in
effect in systems of like size in
the Lima area.
Should the application be ap-
proved by the P.U.C.O. rates for

phones will go up SIPS per month,
and similar increases will become
effective for all services.

Derth Of Smiths And Joneses, But Plenty
Basingers In Bluffton's SO Phone Book

Showing a healthy increase of
subscribers during the past
year, the 1853 Bluffton telephone
directories were placed i'm the
mail this week, permitting users
to discard their old books with
number changes scrawled in the
margins.
The new directory requires 36
pages instead of the 28 in last
years booklet, and gives three
full pages to the Beaverdam list
ings instead of two and a third
pages allotted the neighboring
community last year.
Advertisements and iistings
in the yellow classified section
Of the book requires 16 pages in
stead of II this year, and SUBJ
scribers will note how many kinds
of goods and services are avail
able in this locality, and "as near
to you as your telephone"
A unique feature of the Bluff
ton book is the dearth of common
names that usually require pages
and pages in the big thick metro
politan directories. For example,
Bluffton's directory lists only
three Smiths, and not John
among them. There are only two
Joneses two Whites and one
Green, and of all things, not a
single Brown. Closest thing to
the Brown handle is Brauen,
Lloyd, or Brunn, Clarence L.
The Basinger listings in the
white section, SO in all, have the
top score. They range from A to
z, Alfred to Zelma. And the
Steiners run close second with
81 listings.

Both games were played away from

In the win over Ada George Burk-

Lynn Schiffke smashed another to
lead a heavy hitting assault. Dave
Little was the winning hurler.
Against Lima, the big blow Of
the game was Lynn Schiffke's triple

the mound.

An automatics dial telephone sys.
tenn for Bluffton is not to be ex-
pected soon, members of municipal
council were told Monday night by
spokesmen for the Bluffton Tele-
phone Co. who attended the council
session to explain the reasons for
an application for rate increases
on telephone services provided for
1,146 local subscribers.
Disclosure that installation of dial
phones in the near future is not
contemplated here came in response
to a query from Mayor Wilbur A.
Howe as to whether the rate in
crease application might speed a
changeover from the present man
ual system to an automatic type.
Bluffton patrons have been hope
full of obtaining a dial system for
more than a decade, particularly
since the purchase in the early
forties of a site at the rear of the
Staater block, on Church street,
where the telephone company an
nounced it intended to construct a
building for an automatic exchange.
Spokesman for the telephone COM
pany at the meeting Monday were
Frank T. Quatman, assistant to the
president of the Telephone Service
Co. of Ohio, which operates the
local system, and Ed Ward, treasur-
er of the utility. Also at the meet
ing was ROLAND Dodge, Bluffton
telephone manager.
In outlining the application for
a rate increase filed last week with
the Public Utilities Commission In
Columbus, Quatman informed coun-
Gil that earnings of the Bluffton
Telephone Co., based on its present
valuation, amount to only 2.O2 per
cent, and that by the end of the
wear the return will have dropped
to 1.94 per cent.
A maximum return of six per
cent is allowed by the P.U.C.O,
council was told, and the goal of
the requested rate change will pro-
vide an estimated 5.45 per cent.
Bluffton's telephone rates last
were increased in 1949, Quatman

Garbage Cookery
Latest Problem
Before Council
Study Equipment For Cook
ing Garbage For Hogs To
Comply With New Law

From one major problem to another
has been the lot this year of the Bluff
ton municipal council, which Monday
night again took up the question of
how to handle garbage disposal here
after new state law effective in ear
ly fall prohibits feeding raw garbage
to hogs.
Decision to investigate the possibil-
tiles of cooking the towns garbage in
a large portable heater came out of
the discussion, with hopes that the
move would result in compliance with
the state law and at the same time
not involve costly investment so far
as the town is concerned.
tRecomnendation Of The move was
made by Mayor Wilbur A. Howe, who
had worked out preliminary plans
with Marshal H. L. Coon, the farmer
now receiving the garbage and To-
cal implement dealer. The garbage
cooking equipment would be set up on
the farm and operated by the farmer
receiving the garbage.
Installation of an incinerator was
believed too costly, and burying the
garbage would involve the purchase
of bull-dozer, plus the fact that gar
bage collections would have to be
made more often since the refuse
must be fresh when buried, it was
pointed out at the session.
In his investigation of what sur
towns are doing about gar
oage disposal, Mayor Howe said that
ne had learned Buttons system costs
patrons far less than the schedule in
effect in other communities.
Cost per customer in one town the
same size as Bluffton, which has pri-
vate haulers, is 5000 per year, more
than double the rate paid by Bluffton
patrons.
