Leave it to a busy rancher's
wife to figure out cooking short

out a chicken naindish that can
be sandwiched in between other
jobs. She puts the chicken on to-
stew while she's cleaning up the
breakfast dishes. When she
comes in the house to FIX lunch,
she cools the chicken; removes
meat from bones; cooks rice
Then assemblies the dish. Re-
frigerates it until time for sup-

Sale OF Auto License Tags Here
Again Establishes New Record

A rush for license plates during the
final week Of March sent the total of
all plates issued in Bluffton to an all
time high of 2,498 and marked the
fourth consecutive year the previous
record was surpassed it was announc-
ed this week by Jack Koontz, local
deputy registrar.
Only in the sale of passenger car
license tags was the old record not
erased. The total of 2,O48 auto plates
sold here this year was but two short
of the all-time record of 2,O5O set
here last year. The figure for these
plates this year surpassed the number
of auto plates sold in 1854 by 12.
Koontz, who reported that sales oi
plates here were tagging until the last
week, cited an additional license
agency in Findlay as the probable
cause for the total sales in Bluffton
not being even higher He said many
Findlay and area residents previously
purchased their plates here.

Another $42,S46
Township Road
Program Planned
More BlacktOpping And
Widening Slated For
This Summer

Improvements this year to Richland
township roads approximating almost
$42,846 were earmarked last week by
the township trustees and the board
of county commissioners. The figure
matches the amount spent last year,
the second heaviest in the history of
Richland township.
The improvements to township
roads will cover 14.2 miles at a cost
of $4,000. OF this amount six miles
will receive a new mat (blacktop)
The remainder of the work will con-
sist of sealing roads in the township
which were matted last year.
Major improvement to township
roads will be the widening of Schiller
ly road for one mile. Other improve
ments will include work on the follow
ing roads: Fetb roe one and one
half mile; Swaney road, one mile;
Putnam County Line road, one mile;
Pandora road, one mile, and Lehman
road, one-half mile.
A seal will be applied to the fol-
lowing roads which were resurfaced
last year: Huber road, one mile; Pee
Wee road, one mile; Fett road, two
miles; Luginbuhl, .87 of mile; Zur-
flugh road, from Rt. 3ON to it's end,
and Swaney road, one mile.
Another $17,405.8O will be spent by
the county for "a miles of its roads
in the township. This brings the i'm
proyement work in the township to a
total of $42,S46.70.
Under the voluntary program the
county assumes the job of doing the
work on the township roads. Under
this setup money the township would
ordinarily have to spend for equip
ment and labor go into road improve
ment.

The location of fire hazards such as
paint shops and dry-cleaning estab-
lishments effect the rates Of prop
critics adjoining, he pointed out. This
can be controlled by proper zoning
and by building codes.
Mr.. Sutermeister touched particu-
larly on Bluffton's sewer problem as
it effects annexation and the towns
growth.
The expenditure Of half a million
dollars for trunk sewers and a dis
posal plant has only scratched the
surface of our sewer needs, Suter-
meister told the business group. He
said that eventually another 100000
to million must be spent to give
Bluffton a complete system of sani-
tary sewers divorced from storm
drainage.

authorized bonuses of sos and $3.50.
This is contrary to state law which
provides that extra funds may be
paid as a cost-of-living increment in
regular payments over the length of
teachers contract, but cannot be
paid in a lump sum.
Since 1854 a new salary schedule
has done away with the need for the
bonus plan.
Other payments cited as illegal by
the examiners were $50 for music
contest expenses, S12.99 in federal
excise tax, and $19.75 in interest on
a 90-day bus purchase note
The petty cash account, bookkeeping
bugabear of most businesses, showed
a discrepancy of S72.64 for lack of
receipts to substantiate all of the
expenditures over the six-year period.

troubled on several previous occa-
sions.
One Triplett employee said that he
had to touch up with paint about so
spots on the finish of the car which
had been scratched. In several in
stances stones We're thrown against
the sides of autos causing dents as
well as scratches.

work of juveniles, and the co-opera-
ton of parents is sought to end the
mischief.
