county game protector, to indicate
whether they favored delay Of the

appointed if the opening were de-
layed.
Mr.. Robnolte said that the proposal
for postponing the opening of the
season would be considered in Colum-
bus Saturday or Sunday. If fair
weather continues through the week,
he said he doubted whether action
would be taken to postpone opening
day.

TrapshOOt ReUiUal Brings
Fifty Mnrksmen To Range

Revival of trapshooting in Bluffton
went over with a bang" Sunday as
an estimated so marksmen, mostly
from Bluffton, were on hand at the
shooting range at the Bluffton Air
port. 1t was the first trapshoot held
in Bluffton for five years.
Some 1900 to 1400 traps were re-
leased to the ring of pull" as young
and old marksmen alike took their
posts in the spirited competition.
The range, which is located at the
southwest end of the Airport, was
completed about a month ago to re-
new an interest in the sport and give
hunters a chance to fire their pieces
before the season. 1t was also felt
that the younger marksmen in the
area would benefit from the venture.
Four men who were active when
the sport was conducted as part of
the Bluffton Community Sportsmen's
Club again are active in the renova-
ton of trapshooting here. They are
C. v. Stonehill, Wilbur Niswander
Lawrence Hosafros and Ed Reichen-
bach.
1t has been announced that there
may be another shoot this fall

Heavy rains during the month of
October, which have delayed the har-
vest of corn and soybeans in this
area, might also delay local rabbit
and pheasant hunting in this area, if
the wishes of many farmers and
sportsmen alike are considered.
With the season for rabbits and
pheasants due to open Monday there
has been some speculation locally as
to a possible delay of the opening
day. And with most farmers not
wishing to have corn and soy beans,
which are still in the fields, trampled
by host of game hunters, it is pos
sible that area hunting restrictions
could be set up.
Recently the Lafayette Sports
mems club and some farm organiza-
tions in the area have sought delay
in the opening of the hunting season.
They have made their wishes known
to the local game protectors.

alert to the problem was seen Mon

Driver Licensing
May Get Tougher
Officer Predicts

A minimum of eight hours of driv-
ing time behind the wheel of an tuto
is now required by applicants for a
drivers license whereas only six
hours of solo time is needed to meet
requirements for pilots license, but
licensing for motorists is likely to
get tougher.
That was the prediction of Patrol
man M. C. Corbin, of the State High
way Patrol, who spoke at meeting
of the Bluffton PTA Monday evening.
Explaining proposed traffic safety
legislation, Corbin said that someday
the state may maintain in Columbus
a permanent record or master card
for each driver.
After an accumulation of certain
number of deficiency points appear
on the card "a driver could be barred
from the road for year. Upon
serving his time" he would be issued
a red license for three years marking
him as habitual violator. A normal
license would be re-issued after that
period.
The proposed law would increase
the drivers license fee to 81 to pay
the additional cost of administration
and also to subsidize driver education
classes for schools and for adults.
,sa A motor vehicle safety inspection
would also be required of every We
hicle every six months, similar TO law
effective in some Ohio cities.
Corbin's talk was preceded by Joe
Harris report on his high schoo
driver education classes. First ain
of the classes, he said, is to establish
correct attitude toward driving
second, to establish good driving
habits, third, an understanding of ths
5 car, and then 18 hours Of observation
in the car and hours behind ths
wheel.

president, Mrs. Richard Cookson, at
tracted large attendance, and Mrs
Ganette Foltz, chairman of tn,

public affairs, particularly since the
question has been raised in connec-
ton with the possibility of opening
new residential subdivisions outside
the corporation limits.
There were indications at the meet
ing that council sentiment may tend
to favor the establishment of sewer
tap fees amounting to at least as
much as the cost of the new sewage
disposal system to the average Bluff
ton property holder.
AS brought out in the discussion
this would be approximately $500
per connection, for. that sum repre-
sents the minimum cost of the dis
posal project to each and every Bluff
ton taxpayer.
The $500 cost per house was ar
rived at by adding the cost of the
s1S0,00O real estate tax levy (S200
over 20 years for the average proper
ty) to the $500 fee which would have
been charged against the average inn
proved property under the $250,0O0
special assessment program.
Buttons corporation limits have
not been extended since 1941 by the
addition of any new subdivisions to
the town, Mayor w. A. Howe recalled
at the session, and it developed in
the discussion that some building lots
at the edge of town had been adver-
tised for sale by offering as an adj
vantage the fact that living outside
the corporation is one means OF es-
Gaping Bluffton's tax load.
The difference in Buttons tax rate
as compared with Richland township
outside the corporation at present is
$4.7O per thousand. This is small
price to pay for the added advantages
of living inside the corporation, 1t
was brought out in the discussion.
Zone thing does appear fairly GER
tain, it was announced following the
meeting by one councilman, 1T looks
as if council sentiment is going to be
based on the conclusion that those
who live outside the town and want
to use our sewage disposal facilities
viii be assessed a fee large enough
to represent what their fair share of
building the system will be as COM
pared with the cost to each individual
Bluffton taxpayer"
