Th0rnviIIe Firm Low
Bidder On SR 564
Bid OF $27,5o5.2o
Submitted To State

The Shelly Construction Co.,
of Thornville, submitted the low
bid for reconstruction of portions
Of SR 564, according to State Di-
rector S. o. Linzell, Columbus.
The contracting firm which has
done considerable other work in
this county, submitted a bid to-
taling 27,5O5.20. The Hall &
Barber Co., of Cambridge, sub
mitted the only other bid at a
price of $28,0I9.05.
Work on the construction will
start in the near future and COM
bine the sections of the road
which have already received pre-
liminary treatment from the
state highway department. The
local highway division is pres
emily widening the upper end of
the road and will add a mixture
of salt and aggregate which will
establish a hard base for the
BERN and provide additional
width to the highway.
The contract improvement of
the highway will be located in
what is called the lower end. The
two proposals will call for BIZ
luminous surface for a distance
of 5.19 miles.
1t is expected that the recon-
ditioning of the road will once
again reopen the farm-to-market
route which at one time pre-
vailed in that section of Noble
county.
Many favorable comments have
been made concerning the new
construction and it is believed
that it will have a tremendous
affect on the business and indus
trial aspect of the county.

with the dedication of the

in June %, 1884.
In any event, the parade
was the best ever staged in re-
cent years and speaks highly of
the efforts of the volunteer fire
men in staging their first big
festival for the community.
The line of march formed on
Playground and Walnut streets
and moved promptly at 7:20 p. m.
Saturday with the blowing of
the fire siren. The entire parade
as it moved down North street,
around the public square, in
cluded the following:
Sheriff Donald Conaway led
the parade followed by Charles
and Zeke Smith on smooth riding
horses.
A smart stepping band from
Salem-Liberty high school was
followed by Caldwell's retired

members of council of what
the present law requires and
suggesting possible solutions
to the situation. 1t will be re-
membered that James was res
ponsible for the bill which would
have amended portions of the
Revised Code relative to water
pollution control. The amend
ment would have provided a sub
stitute compulsory septic-tank
program for villages with pop
ulations under 1000.
The bill passed both the house
and the senate but was vetoed
by the governor. In the consider
alton of the veto in the general
assembly, the senate passed to
override the governors measure,
however, the move did not pass
the house. Only 81 of the re-
quired 80 votes were obtained.
The revision would have ex-
empted all villages of two thou

the provisions required by the
water pollution control board.

TeieVisiOn Cable
SVslem Forthcoming
For Caldwell Area

At a special meeting of the
board of public affairs Tuesday
evening the possibility of a tele-
vision cable system was discus
sed for the village of Caldwell.
The application was made by
a Mr.. Jackson who operates the
cable system in Cambridge and
Coshocton and applied for the
use of the electric poles in the
village. The board gave him per-
mission to use the poles but
several of the appliance dealers
in Caldwell approached the
group concerning the contract.
They explained that with the
cable companies present agree
ment in Cambridge, there has
been difficulty between the ap-
pliance dealers and the company
concerning the sale of television
sets. There also was stipulation
that the company could remove
their equipment within thirty
day notice.
In Caldwell, it is understood
that a contract will not be sign
ed unless Mr.. Jackson complies
with several changes in the pos
sible contract. 1t will specify that
the equipment must remain in
the village for a period of three
years and that the cable COM
pany will not sell television sets
in competition with the local
dealers. It is expected that fur
ther action on the contract will
take place in the near future.
