All Homes Numbered In
Area AS Route Growth
Necessitates Change

After year of planning, Post
master Verdi Won Thnon has an
nounced that rural delivery service
for 234 families living east of the
city will be discontinued this week.
end, and service on the new
mounted route will begin at nine
o'clock Monday morning.
While the majority of families
affected lives in the Route / area,
46 families now served by rural
mail carrier Donald Nobis on Route
2 also will be changed to mounted
route service. All houses in the
mounted Route area have been
numbered.
Melvin Ballard, Catawba Island,
successful bidder on vehicular
service, will be in charge of the
mounted route on which patrons
will receive their mail during the
forenoons. AS with city carriers,
Ballards will not sell stamps Or
money orders and he will not ac-
cept packages for mailing. He will
deliver all types of mail and par
eel post, however.
Reason for the change from free
delivery to mounted route was the
tremendous growth in Route l dur
ing recent years. With 578 boxes
to handle, the load was too much
for one carrier but not large
enough for division into two rural
routes.
After Monday, Mervin Meachen
will have 800 boxes to serve on
Route l and Don Nobis will have
800 on Route 2. J. T. Kihlken has
374 boxes to handle on Route 3
in Erie and Bay Townships, and
his route will not be changed.
Although the mounted route
was approved by the Post Office
Department in Washington last Ju-
ly l., Postmaster Won Thron did not
receive financial authorization for
the additional expenditure until
Sunday.
In explaining the new process,
Postmaster Won Thron states: "a
Mounted Route is City Delivery
Service on wheels. There has been
small mounted route for years
along West Third Street, beyond
Erie Gardens.
Route Defined
Starting from the postoffice
weekdays at nine am, the mounted
route carrier will travel east with
his first stops being on East Ferry
Street (beyond the city limits) a
the George N0rgaard residence,
Feathers Motel, Phil's Inn, Brink
mans China Shop, etc.

CITY'S zONINC
CODE AIRED AT
PUBLIC MEET

Complaints that Port Clinton'S
Zoning Commission has too much
power, in that it makes the rules
and in case of disagreement, also
acts as the appeals board, were
heard Tuesday evening when ca
pacity crowd jammed into t h G
council chambers for the public
hearing on the proposed zoning
code.
Councilman. Adair WILDER and
Atty. oliver True entered the
complaint.
Mr.. True also made several 9TH
er suggestions, strongest of whAh
was in regards TO setbacks for
buildings. He contends that the
zoning codes setback rule is ex-
cessive in that it would interfere
with construction of new homes
and especially if rebuilding would
be necessary should a residence
be destroyed by fires.
Atty. True also discussed the
Lakefront territory north of Perry
Street, stated that it had long since
been zoned as a park and that
most of the land is private proper
ty which could not be taken for
park purposes without purchase
by the city.
Henry Sztuk suggested the need
for a stricter building code in the
east end of the city, stating that
all types of small buildings have
been constructed there, thus tend
ing to devaluate property.
Lambert Dodway complained of
parking problems near the Petersen
garage in East Second Street and
of speeding in the area.

BENSCH HURT
IN AUTO CRASH

Two popular Oak Harbor men
were injured, one seriously, when
they were forced to take the ditch
to avoid parked car shortly after
midnight Saturday near Mud
Creek bridge in Fremont Road.
Howard Bensch, "a, Route 8,
Oak Harbor, is confined in Conn
munity Hospital, Fremont, with
severe head decorations, fractured
left wrist and possible spine and
knee injuries. He was pinned in
the car as it overturned.
Bensch was passenger in the
car being driven by Lee Pinson,
81, of 424 Church Street, Oak Har-
Dor, who was treated at the hospi-
tai for decorations and bruises,
and released.
Pinson told Sandusky County
deputy Sheriffs that he was forced
to take the ditch because of a
parked car in his lane of traffic
and an approaching car in the OPP
posite lane. After being driven in
to the deep ditch, the car over
turned in front of the parked car.
Pinson was thrown from his car.
Warren Christian, 25, Lakeside,
told the officers he had stopped
his car when the fan belt broke.
He had lifted the hood and was
standing in front of his parked
car when the accident occurred.
Only the light at the license plate
was burning and the tail light was
out, he told officers.
Richard Palmer, Cleveland, driv-
er of the approaching auto, helped
free Bensch from the wrecked We
hicle and took both men to Com
munity Hospital. Palmer remained
at the hospital until late Sunday
morning to be of further assist
ance to the injured men.
