SEEK STATE AID
FOR PERRY ST.
REPAIRS IN "a

Bumpy and heavily-traveled
East Perry Street, a part of State
Routes 2 and 1853, will be repaired
with state aid next year-if Port
Clinton's city council and Board
Of Public Affairs gain results
from their request to the Ohio
Department OF Highways.
Believing that the city is "toss-
ing money down the drainpipe" in
paying for temporary repairs at a
cost of around $4,000 each fall
the city will ask that the State
Director OF Highways allocate
funds to include the local project
on his 1854 program.
Cost of blacktopping Perry
Street was estimated at $4,000,
which cost would be shared by the
state and Port Clinton. Carl Heck
ler of the Public Affairs Board
told council his group had peti-
toned the state for Perry Street
repairs this year but was told the
state did not have funds avail
able.
Port Clinton could not pay its
share of the cost under the pres
ent budget either, and a bond is
sue probably would be voted. Ev-
eryone feels this plan would be
cheaper in the long run, as the
temporary repairs soon dissipate
under heavy traffic.
Water Supply Adequate
Heckler and Councilman Dave
Jeremy also told council that the
eity's water supply Lake Eriej
is adequate for several years and
that the intake crib and both wells
are being repaired this week.
Sand, loose stone and debris
were removed by a diver from the
intake crib, now being cleaned
for the first time in Is years. The
crib, located Northwest of the
West Pier, has been in operation
So years. Heckler said there is II
feet of water in the crib at the
present time.

Women Control
Nations Money

Women are responsible for
spending about S5 percent of the
family income and control about
20 percent of the nations wealth,
: according to a home budget con-
sultant who will speak Wednes-
day. March 25, during Farm and
Home Week at Ohio State Uni

Sarah ]. Mcleod, director of
the home economics bureau of
the Society for Savings, Cleve-

in which women handle their re-
sources affect their families, their
community and the nation.
She describes the budget as a
camera that takes a picture of
the family's resources and obli-
cations and cannot be fooled. A
workable one, she says, shows a
compromise between the things
the family desires and those it
can afford.
In her work, Miss Mcleod has
handled more than 100000 budg-
cts. She contributes a regular
column on budgeting to the Cleve-

many groups on both budgeting
and saving.
