COUNCIL RAPS
WORK ON Sewer
PROJECTS HERE

City Council Tuesday ex-
pressed sharp dissatisfaction
with certain phases of pro-
jects underway here in con-
nection with the sewage treat
ment plant work, and voted
to ask Consulting Engineer Fink
beiner of Toledo to attend the next
Council meeting for a frank discus
sion of affairs.
Councilman David Jeremy de-
clared that he felt more supervi-
sion on the project here is needed,
and cited several instances Of mis-
takes that he had found. Unde-
sirabie conditions in which streets
were left also was mentioned.
A blocked sewer in the east end
resulted in several houSeholders
presenting claims for damages to
the Oldfield Co. While that Com
pany's insurance adjuSter handled
those claims, reported Safety Serv-
ice Director Wagner, a misunder-
standing has arisen and he has had
calls from several people in other
sections who think the city will re-
compenSe them for damages from
water in their easements.
Also mentioned was the pouring
of concrete without notifying city
officials as had been stipulated
was to be done.
Annexation
Request of w. Third-St woman
living just outside the corporation
line for permission to tap into the
city sewer Tuesday led Council to
decision that may give impetus
to several annexations now hang
ing fire.
Mrs. Clara Riedmaier, 801 W.
Third-st, was told that Councils
policy stipulates tapping into 9
city sewer can be made only wler
annexation procedure is started al
the earliest possible time. Discus
sion reminded Council that severa
such procedures are now under
way, and the annexation commit
tee of Carlista Snyder, Jack Mizen
er and George Schade was instruct
ed to contact all parties concerned
and see if all the separate actions
might be grouped into one.
