should be presented to village offici-

He told how he and other members

State Legislator
To Address Lions

State Rep. Harry Corkwell of OF
tawa will be the speaker next Tues
day evening at the dinner meeting
of the Bluffton Lions club in the
Walnut Grill.
Mr.. Corkwell will speak on sub
ject of his own choosing, but has
promised to review some of the
trends of current and pending legis-
lation at Columbus.
During the last session Mr.. Cork
well sponsored a bill which would
have provided for state censorship
of crime and sex stories in maga-
zines. A former scoutmaster, the leg
islator, is interested in protecting
youth against unnecessary exposure
to factors tending toward moral
degeneracy.
He has served as deputy county
treasurer and county auditor in Put
nam county, and is an Ottawa
business man.

Intangible Taxes
BOlsters Towns
General Fund

Hard hit by the Myron Motter
sewer easement and sewage damage
settlement last month, the Bluffton
village general fund staged come
back last week as the result of a
s7,182.43 check received from the
county as the intangible tax settle
ment, City Clerk A. j. B. Iongsdorf
notified municial council at a meet
ing Monday night
As result of the unusually large
sum received in intangible tax funds,
the general fund balance reported
Monday night was $10,865 as COM
pared with a balance of only $3,752
three weeks earlier.
Clerk Longsdorf reported that
Bluffton's share in the intangible
tax settlement was much larger than
it ever has been before, as the result
of a different method of ALLEGATION
voted at the last session of the
Ohio General Assembly.

"Clarification''
Awaited On Filling
.B. p. A. Vacancy

Following Joel Kimmel's resigna-
tion from the board of public affairs
effective on Sept. /, the board is
functioning as a two-man organiza-
tion awaiting clarification as to
what action is to be taken in filling
the vacancy, it was announced Tues
day by B. P. A. president, Carl
Lehman.
1t has been assumed that the
vacancy can be filled through ap-
pointment by Mayor w. A. Howe but
no definite information has been
obtained so far as to the procedure,
the head of the board of public af-
fairs said. tt
In the meantime there has been
no indication as to who may be
slated to fill the post although the
names of three local men have been
injected into the picture by their
supporters.
Those proposed as possible ap-
pointtees through action taken by
friends have been Maynard Geiger,
James Benroth and Vyrl Neeper.
Geiger, local appliance dealer, at
one time served on municipal coun-
ell, but has been out of politics for
nearly a decade.
Neeper and Benroth are Demo-
cratic candidates for the board of
public affairs as running mates to
Lehman. The three Democrats are
the only candidates for the three
man board. Kimmel's name will be
the only one on the Republican ballot,
but his change of residence to Indiana
has eliminated him from serving on
the board.
The name of Kimmel remains on
the ticket because he had not acted
by deadline time to withdraw as a
candidate.

College Booster Club Plans Rehearsals

age and Western Ohio interurban
sharing the cost. He explained how
each major transportation change
had certain effects on the retail busi-
ness and in one instance resulted in
moving the business section from the
lower Main street area to it's present
location.
Retaining Route 25 through the
business section is now out of the
question, the highway committee
chairman said. We can't expect our
narrow streets to carry the growing
volume of truck freight using the
old highway route, but we are for
tunate that the new highway will be
as close as it is planned.
He closed by saying that he felt,
that if proper pressure is brought to
bear, Bluffton could still retain some
of the benefits of having a state
highway route or two pass through
the business section. "We are going
to miss that traffic more than we
think" he added.
The organization approved mo-
ton authorizing the highway COM
mittee to continue its efforts on be-
half of retaining the present Route
% as an alternate highway and the
extension of State Route 103 through
Bluffton.
