Commissioners Say Night
Racing Definite For Fair
installation Cost
Set About $4,000

The Madison County Commits
sioners stated Monday that night
racing at the Madison County
Fair will be a definite reality
this year. Negotiations are in
progress to secure proper lighting
for the project and the cost is
estimated at approximately $1O,-
600, is was said.
While costs of such installation
vary greatly, it was brought out
that proper lighting is definite
must since it would be waSteful
to put up an inadequate system
as many drivers will not race
on poorly lighted tracks due to
the danger involved.
At present plans call for lights
such as are used in lighting foot
ball and baseball fields which use
open reflectors. The open type re-
Electors do not cost nearly as
much as enclosed type lights and
a substantial saving is expected
to be made in using open reflec-
tors, it was said.

Complaint AS Health
Department Moves

A London resident was brought
before Justice Gerald Baynes last
Friday on charges of maintaining
a public nuisance, according to
the Madison County Department
of Health, and after waving a
preliminary hearing, was bound
over to the Grand Jury.
The resident, John Dennen,
Mound Street, London, was
bound over in violation of Section
12-646 of the Ohio General Code
which covers such cases. Accord
ing to Sanitarian, Vernon Royce,
the original complaint was reg
istered against Dennen by IL
property owners who live nearby
the Dennen property.
1t was pointed out that while
Dennen must face the Grand
Jury on the specific charges, the
charges would probably be drop
ped if Dennen corrects the nuis-
ance. The affidavit was signed by
Health Commissioner, Robert A.
Vogel after the II residents had
signed a complaint against Den
nen, it was said.
The action was termed one Of
q series of efforts on the part of

Madison Youth Building
May Still Go Up This Year
Officials Try To
Cut Basic Costs

The Madison County Youth
building may yet be built this
year if certain deletions from the
original plans are made, it was
revealed here Monday.
The cost of construction under
the present plans far exceeds
original estimates and the county
commissioners, together with the
contractor, are attempting to
make changes in the architects
plans so that the cost will come
within the appropriated $150,000.
To do this, many of the features
originally embodied in the plan
must be deleted, is was said, but
high hope was held to erect the
basic building as planned.
At the same time it was re-
vealed that, aside from the struc-
ture itself, heating, lighting and
plumbing bids amounted to ap-
proximately $4,000 which would
reduce the actual money avail
able for the building accordingly
The low bid for the building it
self was slightly more than
$4,000. Of the original appro-
priation of S15O,OOO, $4,000 will go
for architects fees, $4,000 for
lighting, heating and plumbing.
Thus, about $120,OO0 will be left
for construction costs, not includ-
ing costs of grading and certain
smaller costs.
The commissioners are meeting
again Wednesday with the con-
tractor to give the matter further
consideration. 1t is hoped that
a conclusion may be reached be-
tween the parties involved sc
that satisfactory agreement can
be made, the commissioners said.
