weighing over 12,500 CNo landing

The other ordinance authorizes
the city to enter into a contract
with Sky Tours Inc. for five-year
period, with renewal option of five
years, providing the non-exclusive
right to operate an air transp0rta-
ton service at the Airport. 1t obli-
gates the company to furnish serv-
ices comparable to that furnished
at other airports in Ohio in the
same classification, as established
by the Civil Aeronautics admin
stration. 1t specifies the city will
maintain field, runways and taxi
ways in good, safe and usable con-
ditiOn."
Rules Suspended
Both ordinances were passed un-
der suspension of rules, eliminat-
ing second and third reading.
Councilman Andy Kastro passed
his vote on suspension and adop-
ton of both ordinances, with all
other council members casting af-
firmative votes.
The question was raised why
Council should dispense with the
second and third reading. Council
president Lee Bracken, who heads
the airport committee, explained
that Sky Tours plans to make a
number of improvements at the
airport, and wants to proceed with
plans Immediately when the con-
tract is signed.
President Bracken said he felt
the contract benefits the city and
the public in general, in that Sky
Tours has qualified personnel in
its employ able to furnish service
of a caliber the city is unable to
furnish because Of the expenses in
volved.
Ralph Dietrich, president of Sky
Tours, Inc, said authorization of
the contract will enable the Com
pany to improve air transportation
service here.
If the Mayor refuses to sign the
ordinances, but does not veto, they
will become law without his sigma
ture in ten days. If he vetoes
them, they are returned to coun-
Gil where they can be passed over
his veto by a two-thirds vote.
The Mayor said Wednesday he
has not determined what action he
will take until he goes ove~ the
ordinances thoroughly. Legal publ
cation was halted Wednesday when
he refused to sign.
Ralph Dietrick is president of
Sky Tours Inc, which maintains
air schedules from Put-in-Bay
North Bass, Middle Bass, and Kel
leys Island to the local airport

What can it reveal ? Scotch is but malt.

Scotch calls for the purest mountain water.
The sparkling water found in the hills
round the river Spey where Grants have
always had their distilleries. Where fertile
fields grow barley barley that is exactly
right for fine Scotch Whisky.

JACKIE'S
SALARY SAME

BROOKLYN - And in this
corner the winner is Jackie
Robinson. For Jack held out
stubbornly for $4,000 for .'55
and $4,000 he will get from
the Brooklyn organization.
He got it so easily the day
h went to sign this week that
many reporters Snickered how
Jack needn't have complained
so much. Buzzy Bavasi, the
Signer of the Dodgers. was all
ready with the same terms as
in "a. Robbie wos a bit sur
prised yet he knew that he got
those terms because of the
groundwork he had laid. Just
this week, q national magazine
released a hot series by Jackie
- calling names ond a few
among the Brooklyn organiza-
ton. Good Public Relations
if nothing else dictated that
Jack should get what he ask
ed and as graciouSly as pos
Sible. That's the real reason
why Jackie Robinson is still
the highest paid star ON the
Dodger roster.

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1955-11-24

One of the shoddest affairs in long time has just
place this week in the operation of the cOuntys busl
The Board Of County Commissioners and the Board OF
Election Supervisors unable to to agreement
on the purchase voting machines because of three ndd
uas who from all the evidence letting their personal
feelings get the nod over their better judgment
1t shoddy for several reasons Five OF them by re-
corded vote said they recognized that the SchOup Voting
Machine company had submitted the low bid Attorneys to
both boards recommended that the low bid be accepted
Yet when the vote to accept the low bid taken William
L. Gibson Francis W. Sanders and Erwin Roth voted against
the motion, creating deadlock
BY doing they appeared to show utter disregard OF
the taxpayers funds there difference in the two
bids of 26288 Had there been legal why one
machine was superior the other then there might have
been for wanting to accept the higher BID But
apparently Both machines had qualtled as
requirements and there indication that one
machine better than the other.
That appears to us show that the three mentioned
refused to do the upright and honorable thing for purely
personal reasons 1t is known fact that Lawrence M.
Fraey local representative of the which sub
med the higher bid 1t also is reasonable to that
Gibson and Sanders both indebted to Fraey in
ton the appontive position they hold Fraey being
member of the Republican State Central committee But
personalities and personal obligations have place in this
business where county over two thousand dollars
by the purchase voting machines at the best price.
We certainly want give credit to the other three
persons H. d. Swartzenruber Aubrey Brenneman and Will
liam O. Treacy who have shown desire to safeguard public
funds act in commendabe manner, and exercise remen
dous amount Of patience.
There particular desire part to point the
finger of scon at any individual but when such shoddy
on occurs there is no other recourse They ought to feel
downright ashamed of their part in this affair.

Stubborn Blaze
Is Extinguished

A stubborn fire was Subdued last
Saturday at the c. c. Gncgy Plan
ing mill in Mt Lake Park after
flames had been discovered there
about II o'clock.
The blaze was under control after
an hours work by members of the
Oakland and Deer Park Fire de-
partmcnts but not before damage
amounting to $500 or more had
been inflicted.
The flames, discovered in the
main workroom, and apparently
starting from sparks from an over
heated stove began to spread
rapidly to the roof and TO nearby
rooms. Dense smoke filled the en-
tire building. Volunteer workers
cmptied the office room of large
amount of paint and other supplies,
and loaded the material on two
IIuChS. 1 lCSC NNl 4AlNl hLlACHN@N'
and the paint, etc, placed back
upon the shelves.
For a brief time it was feared
that the flames would get beyond
control. but gradually the water
extinguished the flames in the hot
test area and tben firemen moved
TO control the other sections of the
building.
Firemen remained on duty for
another hour to make sure that the
fire would not break out again.
The fire was fought during a
snowstorm. Firemcn stated it was
fortunate that it had been discOV-
cred promptly before the flames
were able to gain much Of a head
