Geauga record. [volume] (Chardon, Geauga County, Ohio) 1952-1962, 1955-05-05

public schools, the so called
3-Rs bill, retaining the hotly
contested provision that the eff
fects of alcoholic beverages
shall be taught; revising the
schdule of fees for Proabte
Courts; and, permitting t h
compulsory isolation of persons
with tuberculosis in the COM
municable stage.
Seven bills covered neces-
sary legislation of a routeine
nature with little general in
tereSt; other routine bills of
somewhat wider interest inclu-
Gle the following: Broadening
the definition of hospital fa-
cilitieS' to take full advantage
of the provisions of the federal
Hill Burton act; authorizing
Probate Judges to suspend the
drivers license of a person ad-
judged mentally incompetent;
extending to June 80, 1861, the
authority for state universities
to maintain and operate tenn
porary housing units; and
bill authorizing state univers-
tiles to provide dormitories on
campus for the wives and fa-
miles of married Students. In
connection with the last two of
these measures, it should be
pointed out that these facilities
are not provided at tax pay
erS' expense; rental to students
is set up to liquidate construc-
ton costs and operating ex
penSe.
THE following bills are of
sufficient general interest to
warrant brief comments on
them Individually. Two of them
refer to milk, one to promote
greater consumption of this
food as a refreshment and the
other to safeguard ublic
health.
"A three fourths : coin con-
tainer is added to the list of
approved capacity milk contain
erS; this is to fit in with the
bill to legalize milk vending
dispensers. The new size is we'll
adapted to coin oprated vend-
ing machines and was authori-
zed by a unanimous vote.
"The other milk bill, passed
by the House 103 to Is, pro-
hibitS the sale of unpasteuriz-
ed milk and milk products ex-
cept on the premises where the
milk was produced. In the dis
cusSion of thi bill it was point
ed out that the cost of pas
teurization equipment for
commercial use is very moder-
ate, and tht the general public
is clearly entitled to this pro-
lection.
PASSED as an emergency
measure was another bill to
appropriate funds for the pub
lie school foundation program.
1t was necessary to provide i'm
mediate funds in order t h a t
teachers an other school en-
ployeeds will draw their regu-
lar salaries during the remain
der of this fiscal year.
Present law provides for a
limited appeal to the court
from a decision by munich
pal civil service commission to
remove from office a chief or
member of a police o fire de-
partment. The House approx
ed an amendment, previously
passed by the Senate, which
broadenS the basis of appeal,
and extends the right of ap-
peal to cases of suspension and
demotion as well as to remov-
ais.
Another bill passed by the
House clearly establishes the
right of the turnpike commits
sion to set up rules and regu-
lations with respect to the
speed, axle loads, vehicle loads
and vehicle dimensions of be-
hicles on turnpike projects; and
places the authority for the en-
forcement of the rules and reg
ulations on the state highway
patrol. This policing will be
under contract with the turn
pike commission which provid-
es that the commission shall
pay for the cost Of policing
turnpike projects.
This bill, also passed by
the Senate, was made an en-
ergency measure" Mr.. Brou-
ghton said, ''to provide for i'm
mediate policing of the section
of Turnpike Project No. l now
in uSe." $
