This Pistol Packing Romeo Cools
His Ardor In Our County Jail

A 35-year-old Cuyahoga Falls man learn
ed the hard way in Municipal Court here
Wednesday that you can't win a womans
love with a gun.
John E. Brown, city employee Of Cuya-
hoga Falls, decided to devote part of his
summer vacation to pistol-wielding cam
paign to regain the affections of Port Clin-
ton woman to whom he testified he is still
married.
The woman, however, told Patrolman Will
liam Keesor that she is divorced from Brown
and that he pulled % caliber revolver on
her Monday afternoon in an attempt to
frighten her into returning to him.
AS result Brown was charged with car
rying concealed weapons, pleaded guilty be-
fore Judge Don Wargowsky at hearing
Wednesday morning, and was sentenced to
10 days in county Jail. In addition, the judge
levied $25 fine and costs and confiscated
the revolver and two boxes of bullets.
Officer Keesor told the court that he was

group and commercial fishermen.
Jack Lay and Keneth Wahl, Port
Clinton, and Dick Serrand, Sandus-
ky, represented the commercial
fishermen at the initial session and
expressed confidence that an
agreement between the warning
factions can be reached.
1--WE hope to draw up legislation
that will satisfy the hook and line
fishermen and be completely
workable to the commercial fisher
men," it was announced by Ira
Porter, president of the League of
Ohio Sportsmen.
Sport fishermen have argued
that there is too much seining and
not enough freedom of movement
for fish to move into the bay for
spawning. Commercial fishermen
contend there are still more fish
than the hook and line fisherman
can catch in the bay.

Another
|Plan Started

Another annexation move
ment was in the making to-
day as a group of Portage
township property owners re-
tanned Attorney Oliver True
to prepare necessary legal
papers and to advise on tax mat
ters.
The action followed meeting
of a group of IL property owners
at the home of Gaylord Engler,
1903 Sand-rd and would affect
about 100 permanent" property
owners, spokesman told The
News.
Tax valuation of the proposed
annexation is about $850,000.
The area involved would include
so-called Buckeye Boulevarde" on
Route 2 East and specifically pro-
perty abutting Harbor Road, east
to Christy Chapel Road, that own
ed on each side of Sand Road, east
to Christy Chapel Road and that
property which is now in the Port
Clinton special school district and
north of the New York Central
railroad. All of the area is now in
Portage township.
It was pointed out that upcoming
bond issues for new schools and
fire departments rendered it i'm
perative that annexation plans be
pushed now as a change in school
districts would be involved.
Other factors considered were
the need by the fast increasing
population for sewers, gas, better
school facilities, fire protection
that would reduce insurance rates,
police protection, traffic patrolled
streets and zoning patterned after
that of the city of Port Clinton.
A spokesman noted that there
is to be increased taxes in Portage
township as we'll as in Port Clin-
ton and that through annexation
there would be some net increase
! in taxes.
However, it was stated, the saw
ings through change of utility
rates from rural to city and the
saving of fuel through the use of
gas and the increased property
values through annexation would
more than offset tax increases.
Mr. Engler, who is one of the
leaders in the Port Clinton Deve-
lopment Co., told The News that
in his opinion it is "just as i'm
portant to have decent places to
live as to expand the city indus
triallly."
Among property owners spark
ing the newest annexation drive are
Andy Dorko, Phil Phillips, Dir.
James Rhiel, Kenneth Focht, AL
bert Grover, Charles Anderson,
Fran Mekus, Russell Carnes, Frank
Mlynarczyk, Jerry Bruner and Mr..
Engler.

City councilmen had their
troubles Tuesday night.
Aside from a delegation
protesting the issuance of a
moving permit in the east
end, visitors overflowing into
the corridor were on hand to op-
pose the extension of the Fulton
st sewer and to inquire as to rea-
sons behind the delay in the Mon
roe-Alice-st paving project.
Art Eurenius led the protesting
Fulton-st delegation in a running
debate with H. w. Hauenstein,
engineer with the Toledo firm of
Finkbeiner, Pettis and Strout.
Mr.. Eurenius claimed the Full
ton-st sewer couldn't handle the
additional load of some 65 lots in
the Anna Sloan Smith addition
while Mr.. Hauenstein argued that
"our figures show that the most
that will come from residences in
the subdivision is about three per
cent of the sewers capacity"
Mr.. Hauenstein emphasized that
only sanitary water would be car
ried by the sewer.
Councilman Jack Mizener, chair
man of the sewer committee, de-
Tended the proposal and on roll
call council unanimously adopted
the resolution granting subdivision
property owners right to tap into
the sewer.
