LAUSCHE SIGNS
COURT BILL FOR
OTTAWA COUNTY

Rather than kill the entire bill
by vetoing establishment OF
municipal court in Port Clinton
and expansion Of the Lancaster
court, 6 overnor Frank j.
LaUsehe Wednesday signed the
combined municipal court bill
in Columbus, thus providing for
the expansions Of two courts al
ready in existence.
At the same time. Governor
Lausche signed another bill, n
emergency measure, which will
permit candidates for municipal
judgeships in the new courts to be
on the November ballots if they
file correct petitions 60 days be-
fore the November general elec-
tions.
Under the present code, candi-
dates would have to file their Pc
titions 60 days before the May
primaries, and thus the local mu-
nicipal court could not have be-
come effective before 1855. If a
judge is elected in November, the
Port Clinton court will be in force
as of January 1st next year.
In signing the bill, Governor
Lausche raised the point that he
would kill the entire bill if he
vetoed Port Clinton and Lancaster
from the measure, and that he felt
it best to sign "as the will of the
majority"
Everyone in Ohio where munich
pal courts are located. they are
now self-sustainfng," Governor
Lausche added. Strongest opposi-
ton to the local court has been the
claim that Port Clinton's present
financial condition cannot pay for
establishment of a municipal
court.
In last minute effort, Mayor
Carl Becker and Vice Mayor Har-
old Nielsen were in Columbus
Monday when they conferred with
Governor Frank Lausche in re-
CARDS to the municipal court bill,
which was due to become law at
midnight Wednesday.
Explaining that the city has no
funds for the establishment of
such a court for this county, the
local officials showed Governor
Lausche a copy of Treasurer

BAR ASSN ASKS
GOVERNOR TO
FORGET VETO

Atty. E. Thierry, president of
the Ottawa County Bar Associa-
ton, has sent a telegram to Cover
nor Frank Lausche asking the
governor not to veto the proposed
municipal court bill.
In a prepared statement, Atty.
Thierry states: 'The Ottawa Coun-
ty Bar Association has sent this
telegraph to Governor Lausche
after it was informed that the
Governor is considering vetoing
the municipal court act because
of information received by him
that the court will cost Port Clin-
ton money.
"The Bar Associations position
was only taken after careful
study had been made by its MEM
bers and determined how much a
court would be self-supporting.
We feel that Port Clinton should
make an average of six thousand
dollars ($6,000) a year from such
a court. The county commissioners
have unanimously gone on record
supporting such a court
Text of the telegram is as fol
lows:
"We have been informed you
are considering vetoing the muni-
cipal court bill because of state
ments made to you that a court
will be a financial burden to Port
Clinton.
After careful study, we have
reached the conclusion that a
court will make money for the
city of Port Clinton. We request
an audience so we may present
our figures to you if you feel it
would be of any assistance in
making your decision.
I'VE leave to your good judg-
ment your action on this bill,
knowing that you will act in the
best interest of our community
and in the best interest of the
many other communities seeking
municipal court"

Commercial Fishermen
Win Battle Against
Ohio Game Officials

Judge Tom Stahl of the Ottawa
County Common Pleas Court Tues
day Afternoon issued declaratory
judgment and permanent injunc-
ton for the plaintiff, Vernon
Wadsworth, and the cross-petition-
ers Cyrus, Clarence and Charles
Nielsen, Sandusky Bay CONNER
cial fishermen, in their case a.
gainst Charles A. Dambach, head
of the Orio Department of Natur-
al Resources, and others, to re-
frain the officials from interfer-
ing with seining operations in GER
tain areas at the mouth of the
bay.
Among the defendants in the
case are C. William O'Neill, Ohio's
Attorney General, and William
R. Farley and Laurel Van Camp,
Ottawa County game protectors.
In his ruling, Judge Stahl alb
stains the officials from arresting,
or attempting to arrest the plain
tiff or the cross-petitioners, their
employees, licensees or agents,
and to abstain from seizing
any property Of the plaintiff or
the cross-petitioners or any per-
son seining in the area.
Attorneys for the plaintiff and
cross-petitioners are to prepare a
journal entry and to submit the
same to the attorneys for the de-
PENDANTS to be filed by the 10Th
of July.
The case depended on the mean
ing of the word "seine" and its
difference from met" The state
officials contend a seine is a net
while the plaintiff argues reverse
ly.
Judge Stahl heard the case in
local courts at the personal re-
quest of one of the defendants,
Ohio's Attorney General William
O'Neill.
In his decision, Judge Stahl
stated that he interpreted only the
following portion of Section 1927
of the General Code of the State
of Ohio:
''Nor shall any person draw, set,
place, locate or maintain any net
whatever in Sandusky Bay within
the area bounded by an imagin-
ary line from point in the north
shore one-half mile west of and
parallel to the Sandusky bay mo-
tor vehicle toward the south shore

thence in a southerly direction to

middle of the west end of Wood

road bridge, then in a southerly

ROUTE z TO OPEN
FOR TRAFFIC BY
AUGUST 10

Good news to harrassed motor
lists who have been forced to use
the narrow, heavily travelled Route
1853 detour for the past year, is
the announcement by Toledo divi-
sion engineer George Lieber that
Route 2 will be reopened to traffic
not later than August 10.
Although only a six-mile stretch
has been undergoing repairs since
last July17th, the road has been
closed from the Three-Mile Cross
ing in Erie Township to Teachout
Road, west of Bono, with traffic
being detoured over Rt. 1853 to the
Woodville Road.
Lieber stated all the pavement
has been poured for the new a.
foot roadway form Teachout Road
to Route 500 and that new bridges
over Crane and Credar Creeks are
completed.
Still to be finished are paving
work at the intersections and
seeding the berms. The roadway
has been raised a maximum of
31a feet in some to eliminate
spring flooding, which often ne
cessitated closing the road in the
past.
Launder and Son, Toledo con-
tractors, have worked on the ST.
002,000 project since last July. The
firm had until Sept.30 to finish
the job.
Dangerous curves near Bono
and Grodi'S Corners have been
eased and deep bitches along the
Ottawa portions of Route 2 have
been eliminated.
Plans are underway to repave
Route 1853, from Oak Harbor to
the Woodville Road, soon after
Route 2 reopens as that stretch of
the road has been ruined by heavy
trucks and traffic in recent months.
