SEWAGE PLANT
PLANS AWAIT
STATES 0KAY

AT a special meeting of city
council of Board of Public Utili-
ties members in City Hall Thurs
day night, Consulting Engineer
Carlton Finkbeiner, Toledo, dis
played plans for the city's pro-
posed 100000 sewage disposal
plant project.
Plans call for installation of 27-
inch sewer pipe from Adams
Street to 36-inch sewer near the
disposal plant site, Jackson and
West Perry Streets, construction
of a lift station at Hayes Avenue.
and for the large sewage treat
ment plant.
During the evening, councilmen
Adair WILDER and David Jeremy
suggested that the sewer plans be
changed to provide for 36-inch
pipe throughout the system. AS
such change would necessitate
changes in plans and be more eX-
pensive, the original plans will be
taken to Columbus for approval
by the State Department Of
Health.
Mr.. Finkbeiner will discuss the
larger sewer suggestion with state
officials and will advise council
of the outcome
Cost of the sewage disposal pro-
ject will be paid by bonds ap-
proved by voters with the $780,
600 bond issue two years ago.
If state officials approve the
plans, the Board of Public Utili-
ties will advertise for bids late
next month or early in January.
and construction should start
within few weeks.
Waterworks Superintendent Will
liam Crohen estimated that the
project could be completed, and
operating, by April of 1855.

to the western end of the double
highway, will be permitted in the
future following action by the city
council Tuesday evening.

gerous, councilmen voted to make

didn't prove popular with other
councilmen. Police will enforce
the 10 minute parking limit in that
area.
Councilman Charles Ruddock
suggested that parking meter
plates be changed to make the
meters effective from 6 to 9 Fri
day, nights, rather than from 6 to
9 on Saturdays as at present AS
the plate change would be expen-
sive, council turned the matter
over to Safety Director Henry Cow
gil for further study.
Mr.. Cowgirl told council the city
Jail has been deloused, replastered
and painted and remarked: "Any
self-respecting prisoner would be
happy to stay therein now''.

about snow removal equipment
and manpower and was told that
Street Commissioner Carl Ruddock
has his crew and equipment in
readiness.
Ray Hathaway appeared before
council and said he was tired of
''burying dogs, hogs and garbage
people toss on the dump west of
the city. He informed council he
would take license numbers of Of
tenders cars in the future and
report the guilty persons to police.

ton asking the State Department
of Highways to include Perry
