Cost Of Pumping
City Water Only
Half OF Estimate

Electrical power for pumping wa
ter at the Bluffton municipal water
plant is costing only slightly more
than half of what the cost was es-
timated to be at the time the sale of
the city's light and power plant was
under consideration.
Harvey Bauman, president of the
board of public affairs, said that the
power bill for water pumpag
amounts to from $3.50 to SITS per
month. The cost, at one time, had
been estimated at about $4,000 per
year or $500 per month, Mr.. Bau-
man says.
The board at present is replacing
pipe and housing at the pump locat-
ed at the end of Garau street in the
Matter field at a cost of approx
mately $500. The major part of the
village water supply is pumped from
this well.
Further economics in power usage
are to be effected with the installa-
ton of automatic control equipment
on this pump. At present, the pump
often operates longer than would be
necessary with excess water flowing
into the quarry latter the reservoir
tank is full.

House OF Any Age Can Still Be Insulated
It's never too late to insulate.

It's never too late to insulate.
That is what the National Mineral
Wool Association says about old
homes that for years have been cost
ing their owners from 25 to 40 per-
cent more than they should in fuel
bills.
No matter what the age of the
home, it is always possible to reduce
heat loss by automatically blowing
mineral wool inshlation in loose form
into the hollow spaces of walls and
ceilings. Skilled workmen can do this
by removing apd replacing shingles
and clapboards3 and blowing in the
mineral wool fill without muss, fuss
or marring the appearance of the
building. The whole, operation is per-
formed by machine, and the insula-
ton pays for itself within two to
five years in lower fuel costs.
Granulated miperal wool is filled
with millions of tiny air cells for
best Insulating value and is pneu-
matically blowI in place. 1t achieves
a uniform density as it fills the
space in the Walls.
Granulated mineral wool insulation
is blown in behind the siding shingles
of an old house. Afterward the
shingles are put back in place. This

Station. They resulted fl 9om an an
alytical study by the station research
ers on the comparative trends in pop
ulation and agricultural hata in Ohio
as based on the last federal census in
1850.
Following the trend of the times,
31.8 percent of Allen County farmers
work 100 days or IRE off the farm.
This is an increase of 14.4 percent
over 1910. 21.6 percent of Allen
County farm operators are tenants.
The census shows that 81 percent
of Allen farmers sold $tO, 900 or more
in farm products. This is a ranking
of 44th in the state.
The Ohio Station hasIpreviously re-
ported that increased mechanization
and other factors are causing an in
crease in acreage of the average
farm. This amounted to 1.5 percent
between 1910 and 1850. A total of
1876 percent of the farms are under
10 acres; 27 percent are under 80
acres; while 81 percent are farms of
so acres or more.

Senator Morse, Democrat. OF
Oregon. chief transit spokesman
for the Senate District Commit
Itee. reported his criticism of the
firm today and added q plea that
linen Of good win and good faith
should sit down together and
find the facts.
At the opening of today's hear
ling by the McNamara subcom-
Irnittee considering bill to can
lcel the franchise of the Capital
Transit Co.. he directed his re-
marks at both the company and
the transit union. Senator Morse
Iand Chairman Neely Of the full
Senate District Committee are
putting on the heat to get the
company and the striking union
to agree to q 60-day truce and
resumption of mass transporta-
|tion service. During such a truce,
Senator Morse outlined at the
hearing negotiations should be
resumed and the whole issue
turned over to a board of arbi-
tration selected by Federal Gov
|ernment agencies.
Senator Morse told the sub
committee the White House
ought to be kept out of this" !"
He said the Office of the Presi-
dent should not get into this
situation unless and until the
welfare and safety of the people
are involved"
Only Last Resort
A former member Of the War
Labor Board, Senator Morse re-
called that during the last war
many labor issues were taken to
the White House but that in all
such cases this should be done
"only as a last resort"
He made the point that there
are places in the Government
short Of the White House which
can be of service in such a situa-
tion as is faced today by WASH
ington where assistance can be
obtained.
He. mentioned specifically the
Federal Cancellation and Media
ton Service. He said with extra
emphasis that what was needed
now was some arrangement
whereby the actual facts can bel
outlined.
Speaks 40 Minutes
Senator Morse spoke for about
40 minutes at the opening of
today's hearing on the back
ground of the issue and the need
for arbitration and the resump-
ton of mass transportation.

munications had been striking
