Fire insurance rates in Char
don could be lowered by many
thousands of dollars if fir e
fighting equipment and fir e
prevention measures were adop-
ted Harry L. Krieger of the
Ohio Inspection Bureau indicat-
ed to the Chardon Chamber of
Commerce Monday evening.
Krieger, at the opening of
his talk, emphasized that Char
don rates were not high, He
said Ohio rates generally were
low in comparison to the rest
of the nation and that Chardon
with class seven rating had
nothing to be ashamed of. He
said the class seven rating had
been jeopardized in the past by
the recurring water shortages
and the village had been car
ried along in this class at
times without much justifica =
ton.
He said praise was due the
public officials whose efforts
had apparently solved the wa
ter problem and particularly
named Anderson Allyn as presi-
dent of the board of public af-
fairs and Mayor Donald c.
Muchmore as representing the
village officials.
He pointed out water alone
was not enough it had to have
adequate distribution. He said
Chardon had too many small
pipe lines that over sixty per-
cent of the lines were four
inch. He said four inch lines
were not large enough for ade-
quate fire protection although
he conceded the fact that most
of Chardon was downhill from
the standpipe produced more
than normal pressure in the
small lines.

The people of Geauga county
took the bull by the horns to-
day in Ohio'S water shortage
arena and the county became
the first in northeastern Ohio
to officially back the proposed
pipeline tapping of Lake Erie.
While Governor Frank j..
Lausche's committee and two
other well organized independ-
ent groups continued to wreStle
with the water supply problem,
Geauga laid $1,000 on the line
toward an immediate engineer
ing survey as planned by the
Lake Erie Watershed ConSer-
vation Foundation.
At a special public session in
Chardon, county commissioners
agreed to the appropriation con-
tingent on financial support by
the five other counties tn a
would benefit under the pipe
line plan.
1t was the first tangile action
by any county to spur immediate
action on the water problem and
followed a long period of state
wide discussions, big and little,
centering about the chances of
federal and or state aid, and
the possibility of a Ford Foun-
dation footing the bill.
With Geauga taking the lead,
Executive Director John H.
Byrne of the foundation was
scheduling public meetings with
commissioners in the five other
counties.
Proposed quotas for the sur
vey are: Portage, $1,000; Ashta-
bula, ST 600; Lake, $4,000; Sum-
NIT, $4,000, and Cuahoga, ST.
600.
The foundations goal is to
complete the survey this year

TO Cut Fire Insurance Rate

I'VE DON'T LIKE four
inch pipe" he said, "you should
install six inch or larger and
eight inch in the mercantile and
industrial districts.
He said Chardon's wa ter
valves and hydrants needed at
tention. He said some of t h
valves would not close com =
pletely. THE village can be ex-
cused for not flushing out hy-
drants regularly before when
water was short" he said, But
now ample water is available
village officials should set up
system to flush out hydrants
regularly.
He said the map records of
Chardon's water system were
scanty and the village should
have better maps.
HE PRAISED the Chardon
Fire Chief Jack Maynard, say
ing he ''took an unusual inter
est in fire protection matters. !"
He said Maynard was k n o W n
throughout the state as an eX-
pert on fire fighting and fire
prevention.
Chardon village fire depart
ment is pretty we'll equipped
he said. But he added the de-
partment did not have enough
or long enough ladders. He also
said they needed another thou
sand to fifteen hundred more
feet of two and a half inch
hose. He criticized the lack of
salvage tarpaulins. The tarpauI-
inS are used to cover furni-
ture or merchandise to protect
from water damage during a
fire and he urged G h a r d o n
should have three or four of
them and the firemen should
receive instruction and practice
in using them.

Turnpike MayRun Through Geanga

OnloS S second turnpike, the
proposed Conneaut to Gin
cinnati road, woul run through
the western edge of G eauga
county if plans submitted to
State Highway Director Sam o.
Linzell by the J. E. Greiner
Co. of Baltimore are approved.
Meanwhile Cleveland and
Cuyahoga county officials have
presented plans to route the
new road through their areas.
The route proposed by tn e
Baltimore firm would have the
turnpike running into Geauga
county just south of where it
would cross rt. A at Concord.
The toll road would turn sharp
ly south at the western edge
of Chardon and pass through
the Novelty, Russell and South.
Russell areas.
The engineers suggested these
locations for traffic to enter and
leave the road near Geauga:
rt. A south of Painesville, rt.
322 just east of Chesterland and
rt. 422 near South Russell.
This route was proposed at
a meeting Monday, the first of
series of meetings Mr.. Lin
zell is holding this week with
public officials from urban are
as affected along the proposed
route. Tuesday the "Mile-wide-
band" through Lake and Ash
tabula counties was shown. The
hearings will wind up with the
Cincinnati area officials Thurs
day.
The hearings are aimed at
avoiding another Elyria" sit
uation that held up work on
turnpike no. l, and ugh t
charges of turnpike ruthless
ness in overriding local in :
tereStS.
Mr.. Linzell, the turnpike COM
mission, of which he is also
a member, and Gov. Lausche
must each approve any route
according to the Turnpike Act.
OFFICIALS OF Cleveland and
Cuyahoga county both stated
the same advantages to aban-
doning the original route
through Geauga in favor of a
route through their areas. They
told Mr.. Linzell their alternateS
would:
COST the Turnpike Commits
sion no more than the Geauga
route.
PRODUCE much higher rev.
enueS.
SAVE taxpayers of Ohio
many millions in feeders and
duplicating freeway mileage.
PROTECT the pike from
freewayS that would milk it of
revenue traffic later
Cuyahoga county engineer A.
S. Porter asked the turnpike
commission to apply whatever

Issue Statment on
MiddIefieId Strike

Both the Johnson Rubber CO.
and the striking union today re-
leased statements on their posi-
tionS in the Middlefield strike
which has been continuing since
approximately 385 employees
walked out Friday night, July
80.
1t was reported last we ek
that employees, members of
the Local Union 399, Unite d
Rubber, Cork, Linoleum and
Plastic Workers of America,
CIO, are asking for an increase
of IL cents and other fringe
benefits.
THE STATEMENT released
by the company today is as
follows:
ION August S, 1854 a Fed
eral Mediator attended a meet
ing between the Company and
the Union for the purpose of
resolving the labor dispute
which the Union claimed had
caused its members to strike.
The Federal Mediator ended
the meeting abruptly when he
learned that the Union did not
know what issues were in dis
pute. The Company did n t
know what issues were in dis
pute either and was surprised
that the Union had called a
strike in view of the Union ad-
mitting their ignorance of the
issues in dispute.
1.-THE Mediator ordered h e
Union and the Company to a.
gree on what the disputed is
sues were and a meeting was
scheduled for the following day.
At the meeting that followed
the Union stated that the Com
pany was unfair and should not
permit the United States Marsh
al and the Sheriff of Geauga
county to remove molds, dies
and tooling equipment from
this plant which they were at
tempting to remove under an
order issued by the United State
District Court and the Com
mon Pleas Court of Ge au g a
county. The Company took the
position that they could no t
legally or otherwise forbid or
attempt to prevent the United
States Marshal and the Sheriff
of Geauga county from carry
ing out the orders of the Courts
THE Strike condition that the
Union imposed had forced the
company to lay off most of its
clerical help, resulting in the
issuing of factory pay check:
on a staggered schedule which
was submitted to the U n o n
The Union did not object to the
schedule at this time. However
at the Friday meeting tn G
Union demanded that regard
less of the strike conditions
they imposed, pay checks should
be issued on schedule. T h c
Union chose to discuss h G
conditions rather than negoti
ate. The Mediator cancelled the
Friday meeting. The Company
feels that the Unions presen
position was designed soley fol
the purpose of stalling negotia
tions. No further meetings are
scheduled"
THE UNION also released {
statement, which follows:

of Cancellation, Russell Turner
