FUNDS SOUGHT
BY CITY TO pave:
PERRY Street

If the city cannot afford to pay
its $4,000 share of the proposed
Perry Street paving project, sche-
duled for this spring, the state
highway department may not be
able to plan the much needed
improvement for another five
years, city council learned Tues
day night.
AS the paving project had not
been budgeted and as city funds
are low, councilmen are in a
quandary as to how to raise the
city's share.
Finance Chairman George Sch
ade remarked that his committee
had searched diligently but could
find no funds available at this
time. eve can borrow the money
and may have to do it", he told

BROWN BLAMES
PRINTERS FOR
BALLOT N|Ix-UP

Reports out of Columbus late
Wednesday indicated that Ohio's
Secretary of State Ted Brown has
issued letter in which he is
highly critical of the printers in
the recent November 3 election
in Ottawa County.
While Edward Minderman, Port
Clinton, clerk lof county Board
of Elections. had not received the
official letter UP TO press time,
ii is reported that Brown implies
the printer Bob Reider, Inc.) did
not rotate ballots according to law,
did not number all ballots, had
faulty perforations on some bal
lots, failed to show rules between
candidate names and that some
ballots were smudged.
Browns letter is said to state
that although the board erred in
not ordering enough ballots. they
had the right to assume the print
ers coral supply more ballots
within an hour.
Robert Reider, Ottawa County's
representative who owns the print
ing company which supplied the
ballots. is Mr.. Browns Democratic
opponent in the current race for
secretary of state. Browns charges
thus can be labeled as political
publicity.
Brown has been here at least
twice since the election and made
no such public charges on his pre-
vious visits.
William S. Brown, general man.
ager of Bob Reider, Inc, expressed
complete surprise at the Secre-
tary of States reported charges.
He said that the ballots were
printed according TO regulations
and were delivered to the county
board of elections several weeks
before election, that they were
examined by the board and ac-
cepted.
Manager Brown further stated
that the election board members

street lights at the Madison Street
underpass, and Safety Director

Hosler's recommendation that
parking be limited to two hour
periods in Perry Street, between

ing meters would be more appro-
pirate. Street committee members
and Mr.. Hosler will make further
recommendations at the next
