TURNPIKE men
DENY CEMETERY
REMOVAL STORY

Put away your shovels, boys,
and save the money you've been
s..~ - on gasoline chasing
down that elusive cemetery, re-
portedly to be dug UP by the Ohio
Turnpike Commission
There positively is no such ce-
metery project in this area, and
that comes officially from Jim
Casio, of the Turnpike Office of
Information and Research, 139
East Gay street, Columbus.
Mr.. Casio said that when L. D.
Brown, office manager of the Wang
Construction Co. at the Turnpike
headquarters between Port Clin.
ton and Fremont, told The News
on March 27 that there was such
a cemetery, Mr.. Brown was speak
ing from hearsay and not from
authentic facts.
(Mr. Brown said on March q
that he had learned just the pre-
vious day there was a cemetery
to be dug up, and that workers
were to be paid So an hour).
The story got pretty widely
spread all over the state, said Mr..
Casio. He had talked with Sam
Pritchard of Cleveland, liason Of
ficer of the Greiner Co. which
has charge of the turnpike project
between Fremont and Bellevue,
lust before he contacted The News
Wednesday. Mr.. Pritchard said
there is absolutely no such GENE
terry.
There is one cemetery in Lucas
county which the new highway
will be close to, said Mr.. Casio
but the turnpike will not effect
it and bodies will not be exhumed
First reports had the story that
the cemetery was filled with vic
tins of the black plague, and that
workers would be paid $40 ar
hour. There would have been nc
trouble in getting workers, il
would appear from the many in
quiries The News has been get
ting.

BY calling the special meetings,
council can approve the Perry
Street project without it being
an emergency measure. Only
majority vote is needed as the
ordinance was approved by the
five to two vote on its first read
ing Tuesday evening.
Voting for the Perry Street pro-
ject were Councilmen George
Schade, Roy OMAN, Jack Mizener,
David Jeremy and Councilwoman
Carlista Snyder.
This weeks special meeting was
called after Mayor Harold Jeremy
had been notified by the highway
department that the city could
wait no longer, as the Perry Street
improvement was scheduled in the
states May 11th selling. Jeremy
contended that if the improve
ment isn't made this summer, it
would be several years before the
state would get around to re-sche-
duling the project.
Councilman George Schade stat
ed that his finance committee had
discovered plans for paying the
city's $4,000 share. Expenditures
would have to be watched closely,
S5 900 taken from the gas fax fund
and $4,000 would be borrowed
to be repaid by Dec. 81, 1855.
Ruddock and Kastro both stated
they felt other streets needed re-
pairing more acutely than Perry,
and as the city is short of funds,
the other streets should be re-.
paired first. They added they
would go along with the Perry
Street project if the city had suf-
ficlent money to repair other
streets at the same time.
The five council members an.
proving the action expressed be-
lief that the expenditure was me-
cessary now; that the city had
practically thrown away several
thousand dollars recently in tenn
porary Perry Street repairs; that
the city's share would be much
higher if we waited longer as the
streets base is deteriorating rapi.
dly; that funds from the municipal
court now going to the mainten-
ance and repair fund will be used
for other street repairs.
Mrs. Snyder, in casting an af-
firmative vote, asked that local
newspapers explain to the public
that council felt it would save
money Gin the long rum by ap-
proving the Perry Street project
now although a portion of the
street would have to be- torn up
later when the proposed sewer
disposal plant is constructed.
Councilman Schade added that
there is no definite date for the
sewer improvement and that it
