The food was wonderful at the
fish fry which members of the
Port Clinton Outboard Boating
Club had at Put-in-Bay Sunday to
kickoff their summer season. But
that isn't what all of the 20 or
more families who attended will
never forget.
1t was that trip home that will
make the June, 1855 outing so un-
forgetable.
Heavy winds and a driving rain
resulted in waves that made the
return trip real battle with the
elements. Three of the boats din't
come back at all, their owners pre-
ferring to beach them until better
weather, and coming back via the
ferry. Some of the wives and
children also came back on the
ferry while the men of the fami-
lies brought the boats in.
Some of the boats put in at
Catawba Marine Sales, CataWba
dock, or Gem Beach instead of
coming on into town. Telephone
calls, to get transportation home,
flew thick and fast. Everybody
got drenched, but everybody got
home safely.
Undaunted, the Boating Club
plans July outing at Kellys Is
land.

MARSH PUMP IS
NOW INSTALLED
And WORKING

The marsh pump which Council
authorized installed following the
May IA storm here, when many To-
cal easements were flooded, was
put in operation last week and can
function at the pumping rate of
5000 gallons per minute, engineer
H. w. Hauenstein told council
Tuesday night.
The blacAened debris it is pump
ing out of local sewers indicate
that a general flushing and clean
ing of all combined sewers and
catch basins should be done before
the sewage plant with its per-
manent pumps goes into operation,
he said.
Mayor Harold Jeremy said he
had received complaints from east
end taxpayers that the new east
end lift station has the same inlefs,
outlets and same size pumps as the
previous installation. Engineers
pointed out it was not intended to
pump storm water, but was only
for the sanitary system, and that
it replaced the temporary installa-
ton made in 1943 when due to war
time conditions permanent-type
materials were not available.
A possibility of using ping-pong
balls, placed in downspouts to de-
termine if storm water is going
into the sanitary sewer system,
was discussed. BY numbering the
balls, and retrieving them at the
lift station, their origin could be
traced.
Seek Water Line
A delegation of seven Ottawa DR..
property owners, seeking an exten-
sion of water line, visited Coun-
Gil with Ronald Payne as spokes-
man. Councils policy that annexa-
ton must be started at the earliest
possible chance by any area OBJ
| tanning city services was explained.
The group had also met with COM
missioners Monday.
Herman Riedmaier, whose moth
er had requested permission to tap
into the w. Third-st sewer at a
previous meeting, told Council he
had contacted six adjacent prop
erty owners and that four favored
annexation.
Ordinance Amended
The pay ordinance failed to list
Memorial Day as a paid holiday for
street department workers, it was
pointed out to Council and as a
result the workers in this depart
ment could not be paid. An amend
ment, made retroactive, was ap-
proved.
