Brown, Republican, of Centerville.
William P. Richardson of Dover,
Republican, made a motion that
the commission unanimously ask
Mr.. Mcconnell to reconsider the
resignation as chairman he tender
ed last month.
Mr.. Mcconnell, whose term ex-
pires at the end Of April, had re-
signed, effective last Thursday, be-
cause, he said, the Craftsmanship
Of the commission at this time
should be given to some one else
whose term would tide over the
transition Of control from Repub-
lican to Democrat.
Mr.. Richardson's motion was
seconded by Clayton A. Bunting,
Republican, of Selbyville.
1t was obvious that the Republi-
cans wanted Mr.. Mcconnell in the
chair until his term expires.
But before a vote was taken,
something unusual happened-un-
usual in the recent annals of the
Highway Commission. A recess was
asked for.
The four Democrats went out
into the hall; the three Republi-
cans remained in the meeting room.
Five minutes later the Democrats
returned; the closed meeting con-
tinued.
The motion to have Mr.. McCOn-
nell reconsider his resignation was
put to a vote. The four Democrats
voted as a group against the mo-
tion. The three Republicans stood
shoulder to shoulder in favor but
the motion was lost.
Then it was time for the deci-

Whether the Bluffton board of
public affairs may complete the rest
of this year as a two-man body
rather than filling the vacancy re-
sulting from the September / resign
alton of Joel Kimmel this week re-
presented the newest development in
conjecture which has been rife since
Kimmel's intended withdrawal was
announced in early August.
In the seven weeks intervening
since Kimmel's announcement no
move has been made to seat another
member of the three-man board, and
there have been off-the-record re-
ports that City Solicitor John Romey
has beer. asked for ruling on
whether the present board can legally
complete the remainder of this year
without filling the vacancy.
Mayor Wilbur A. Howe said fol-
lowing last Monday nights meeting
of municipal council that he has
had no indication from Board Presi-
dent Carl Lehman that the board
wants a new member named at this
time.
Until he is so notified by the
board, the mayor said he does not
intend to make an appointment. In

'Soybean Yield
About Average
As Harvest Opens
First Beads Arrive On Local
Market Tuesday: Bring
$3.50 Per BuShel

Harvesting of the new fall crop of
soybeans got under way in the Bluff
ton district Tuesday morning, with
the Farmers Grain Co. making it's
initial purchases of 1853 beans frem
David Hofstetter, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Waldo Hofstetter.
Young Hofstettef had made the
harvest on land hi is farming for
Wilhelm Anastutz, hecSfding to ele-
vator attaches. Hsfley Marsuast and
Edgar Huber were others who smar-
keted beans on the opening dayA-s
Quality of this years crop is very
good and the moisture test was 11.79,
a very good mark. Indicated yield
of about 25 bushels to the acre is
only about average, however.
Price on the opening day of the
harvest is down 48 cents from the
quotations at the start of the season
last year. The Farmers Grain paid
$3.50 for beans bought Tuesday. Last
fall the price was $2.7S bushel.
A large acreage of soybeans in the
district will keep area farmers busy
in their attempts to get the harvest
out of the way before bad weather
arrives, especially in view of the fact
that fall wheat seeding and corn
harvesting also must be worked into
the farm program.

Fire Dept. Must
Buv Smoke Masks

Five hundred feet of new two
and one-half inch fire hose were
bought Monday night for the Bluff
ton fire department, after Fire Chief
Guy Corson recommended the pur-
chase at a meeting of municipal
council.
Cost of the hose was $1.95 per
foot, or total of 1915. The con-
tract was let to Harry Sutphen and
Associates, of Columbus.
At the session it was pointed out
that a new Ohio law, effective in
October, will require that every
municipal fire department be equipped
with self-energizing smoke masks.
Fire Chief Corson will make an
investigation of those available, and
report his recommendations to
council.
Bluffton's fire department at
present does not have masks of any
kind in it's equipment, and the cost
of complying with the new state
legislation is expected to be several
hundred dollars.

Settle Pollution
Insurance Claim
Monday For $3.50
Collection Eases Towns
Load In Settling Motter
Case Out of Court

Bluffton council Monday night ap-
proved an insurance settlement of
$3.50 in the Myron Motter sewage
pollution case, helping ease the finan-
cial burden incurred by the town in
settling the action out of court last
July.
In disposing of both the Motter
pollution damage case and in obtain
ing right-of-way across the Motter
farm for the towns new intercepting
sewer system, council paid the Bluff
ton farm owner total of $500.
Of this, $4,000 was earmarked by
council as settlement of the pollution
damage case and $500 was ticketed
in payment for sewer easement
privileges.
The financial accounting break
down was necessitated by the fact
that the money expended for the pol
luton settlement was taken from the
general fund, and the remainder could
be charged against sewer system
funds. In the actual settlement with
Motter, however, no breakdown of
costs was involved.
The $3.50 insurance settlement
came from the American States In
surance Co. on a policy sold to the
town by the Clarence Diller Agency
on Jan. %, 1861. At that time the
policy was interpreted by council as
full protection against sewage pollu-
ton claims.
At Monday nights meeting of
municipal council, the group voted to
accept the insurance settlement of
$3.50 as the insurance company's
share of the pollution damage
liability.
Since filing of the Motter pollution
damage suit in 1851, the insurance
company has notified the town that
its policy protection does not cover
faults in the towns sewage system"

and soybeans are to be judged along

become an annual Bluffton event, if
the first show proves successful.
The public is invited to attend.
There will be no admission charge,
but free will offering will be taken

at a meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the Rluffton Community

In filling the vacancy, as with
