The
CAPITOL
DIGEST
IN COLUMBUS

"A sign Lobbyists at Work,
might well be erected at the
Senate House" reported the Co.
lumbus citizen. The acid indict-
ment followed some of the most
brazen lobbying before any Ohio
Legislature. Attempts of COP
majority in Tooth General As
sembly to formulate a program
are jeopardy.
The newspaper editorial on
April 2 said, in part: "The vicious
campaign of the powerful truck
ing industry to kill the ton-mile
tax is under way" and "The
story is the same in the Ohio
Turnpike picture, where asphalt
interests are attempting to in
ject personalities in their fight
to delay construction of the
modern, much-needed road"
Truck Tax - Gov. Lausche's
weight-distance tax is due for
more hearings this week before
House Public Affairs Committee.
Truckers hope to use die-hard
political opposition to Lausche as
vehicle to defeat the fair tax plan.
Grassroots sentiment, however, is
behind LauSche.
Turnpike - Preferred reSigna-
tions of Ohio Turnpike Commits
sioners were turned down by
Governor who expressed confid-
ence in commission. Commission
which has cancelled bids on
which awards were to be made
this month-will probably lose
the 1853 construction season.
Background: Asphalt industries
attempt to force all public build
ers to; take alternative bids would
throw all road building into tur-
moil if upheld by Ohio Supreme
Court.
Highways - Emergency high
way program of $15-million has
Legislative approval and is on
way to Governor for signature.
But highway department also is
being sued to force it to take
asphalt bids on every project.

To Improve
Fire Dept.
At Auburn

Auburn township is planning
to take advantage of the chan
ges in the new Rural Fire Pro-
lection Law sometime in the
future.
At present the residents of
a township are entitled to an
average So reduction in their
fire insurance premium if they
live within three miles of an
approved fire department. When
the new schedule is released
this go credit will be extended
to miles which will mean a
substantial savings to practic-
ally all township residents.
At a meeting recently in the
Town Hall a Volunteer Fire
Dept. was organized and steps
have been taken to get the or
ganization Incorporated. The
officers elected are: Jack
Vaughan, Pres, Dick Timmons,
V.P., Bill Burr, Sec. and Treas.
and j. B. LeRue was appointed
Fire Chief.
Plans are not completed on
how the project will be financ-
ed but a sum of money has al
ready been offered by the Com
munity Fair Board and some in
dividuals. 1t is hoped that it
will not be necessary to ask
for a tax levy.
Procuring Of equipment is
under consideration and the
township trustees are investi-
eating the possibility of build
ing a fireproof firehouse on
township property at Auburn
Center.
At present the township has
contracts with Bainbridge and
Burton for fire protection and
it is expected that this will
continue until the new organ
ization is equipped and trained.

pie of Munson are faced with
a critical situation as a result
of the defeat OF the School
Bond Issue on November End.
Yet perhaps this seeming de-
feat may be the means for
more closely uniting the peo-
pie of the township behind a
sound school program.
1T is evident that the pre-
ponderance of the voters agree
that some immediate action
must be taken to relieve an
intolerable school situation.
This can be done only if the
entire township gets solidly be-
hind a program that will be
acceptable to all. We realize
that those who voted against
the proposed bond issue did SO
for reasons they believed to
be for the best of the commun-
ity and we respect both their
sincerity and good judgement.
For that reason we have form
ed a committee for the Better
ment of Munson School.
The purpose of this COM
mittee is to prepare a feas-
ible school program which will
be designed to meet the i'm
mediate school needs of our
township, and at the same time
take into consideration the in
evitable future growth of Mum
son. We hope everyone in the
MunSon School District will
Join our committee.
All plans will be first pre-
sented for public debate and
when public approval is indi-
Gated they will be presented
to the MunSon School Board
for final action according to
law.
? 1t is my personal hope that
the people of Munson will unite
quickly to give our children the
best educational advantages
we can afford"
