What to do about financing the
completion of Buttons intercepting
sewer system, in face of deficit of
about $4,000 in funds for all neces-
sary lines, remained unanswered fol-
lowing Monday nights meeting of
municipal council.
AS matters now stand, when the
sewage disposal system construction
fund of $5S0,000 is exhausted, three
intercepting sewer projects will re-
main to be completed and the money
to cover the work must come from
some other source, council had been
warned earlier by John Schira, resi-
dent engineer on the project.
Interceptors for which there will
be no funds on the basis of present
indications are on jefferson street
from the Big Riley to the county
line; on North Main street from the
Big Riley to the Fred Mueller addi-
ton and stretch of sewer on Rail-
road street.
At Mondays meeting there We're
some indications that perhaps at
least a part of the projects will be
postponed until some later date, all
though no definite action was taken
by council.

Careless Boys
Endanger Cattle
On Old Plate Farm

The thoughtlessness of a group of
boys playing in the barnyard of the
old Plate farm southeast of Bluffton
nearly resulted in the loss of several
head of beef steers, it was learned
this week from Carl Marshall, who
operates the farm with his father,
Ray.
Mr.. Marshall said that the young
sters apparently had entered the old
barn, and leaving the doors open,
permitted their herd of feeder stock
to gain entrance to the granary.
Fortunately the young steers had
been feeding heavily in recent days,
and did not founder on the unlimited
supply of grain.
Boys will be boys, and we don't
mind their exporing about what may
seem to- be deserted buildings or
playing on Big Rock nearby in the
Riley, but we are hopeful they will
remain out of the house and barn
in which supplies are stored" Mr..
Marshall said. He asks that parents
advise them accordingly.
Recently the youngsters broke one
of the house windows, and several
were seen climbing atop the barn
silo. Mr.. Marshal warned that they
could be injured severely in a fall
from the silo.

ity, council authorized ordering the

Approved by vote of 5 to 1, the
action clears the deck for first read
ing of legislation as soon as it is
prepared, likely later this week.
Council action followed report by
City Solicitor John .Romey that there
is no way in which council could ask
for town-wide election on the ques-
tion of whether to purchase the pow
er wholesale or to sell the municipal
plant and distribution system out
right.
By council taking legislative action
one way or another vote could be
obtained, however, by referendum
petition, should enough citizens OBJ
ject to the Legislation enacted, the
city solicitor. said.
To force the issue into an election
by the referendum recall procedure,
it would be necessary for petitions
to be presented bearing signatures of
So or more qualified electors of the
village.
The state law provides the referen-
dunn procedure. will force the issue
to vote whenever it is signed by 10
per cent of the electors who voted for
mayor in the last preceding election.
In this November's election, Mayor
w. A. Howe received 52S votes.
Should a referendum for a vote be
instituted the matter would come up
in special election held within four
to six months, the city solicitor said.
Councilman Everett A. Sutermeist-

was seconded by Councilman Donald

Romey had advised councilmen at
Mondays meeting that the entire
matter can be cleared up before a
new council is seated next January /,
there is no referendum ac-
ton. This would entail readings at
three special meetings, followed by
two weeks of newspaper advertising,
