Problem OF New
Revenue Sources
Faces Councils

The new County Court System
will mean severe losses for London
and all Madison County villages,
according to information this week
from the London Post of the Ohio
Highway Patrol. As soon as the
new court is in operation, all State
Highway Patrol cases must be ta-
ken to the County Judge, rather
than to London City and the viii
lage mayors.
The loss in revenue from fines
will run from a few hundred dol
lars per month in some of the
smaller villages to more than
$1,000 or $1,000 for London. The
governments are now anxious
about their losses, and struggling
to find new source of revenue.
A representative of the London
Highway Patrol Post said this
week that the Field Sergeant for
this area confirmed that Highway
Patrol cases will be handled in
County Courts as soon as they are
operating. The decision was based
on an Attorney Generals ruling,
according to the information re-
layed to this newspaper.
The County Judge, to be elected
this fall will serve for one year,
and needs only be an elector, who
files by petition with approximate
ly $50 names affixed After the
1862 election the judge candidate
must be an attorney admitted to
practice, unless the incumbent
continues to be elected.
At recent meeting of the
Madison County Bar Associa-
tion discussion revealed that
none of the Bar members de-
sired the County Judgeship.
However, it is expected that
non-professional n d i d ate
may either run or be appoint
ed to the position. In some
quarters, the thought was ex-
pressed that Ned J. Speas-
maker, son of London's may
or, e. p. MED" Speasmaker,
was interested in the position.

possible to keep the room free
from the undesirable odors. She
said the rooms are always chang
ed each week, but implied that the
residents fail to lend great assist
ance in cleaning their own rooms.
In explaining the lack of need
for more powerful lights, she said
the residents could not read, and
were not interested. To most ques-
tions, her stock reply was that the
residents could have anything they
ask for, "but they don't ask"
One member of the visiting
party asked why there was no pi-
ano in the building for use by and
for the patients. and the matron
explained that they had been Of
fered a piano, but had no place for
it.
During the discussion it was
pointed out that the County Com
missioners have not been visiting
the County Home at regular inter-
vals, and have had no invitation to
visit there. Judge Joseph King, one
of the visitors, noted that the
County Visiting Committee, has
not visited the county's institutions
in several years. He stated that
he plans to name a new commit
tee and renew the visits and in
spections. According to comments

All Milk Trucks

A fleet of seven mechanically
refrigerated trucks is being put in
to service in this area this week
by Steinmetz Dairy of West JEFF
ferson. Steinmetz, distributor of
Borden products, is using the fleet
to deliver fresh milk products to
both homes and stores.
Four of these trucks will be used
on retail and two wholesale deliv-
cries.
"These four-wheeled, refrigera-
tors, one of the first mechanically
cooled fleets in the state, and the
first in this area" Steinmetz said,
"are replacing the old type deliv-
cry trucks used here for many
years"
Under the old system of using
ice for refrigeration, the tempera-
ture of the milk and dairy pro-
ducts varied throughout the day
both in summer and winter Now
the last customer on the route will
get milk as fresh and cold as the
first customer. The temperature
remains constant at 38 degrees"
Steinmetz said that each new re-
tail truck holds 1900 quarts OF
milk, while the capacity of the
wholesale trucks is 1000 quarts.

Visit To County Home Brings Questions To
Minds Of Officials, Nurses, And Others

Madison County officials, repre-
sentatives of several civic groups,
Health Department Nurses and a
representative of this newspaper
made two hour tour of the Mad
ison County Home Tuesday after
noon, and came away with several
suggestions for improving the con-
ditionS under which about 40 aged
and infirm are living.
The superintendent of the Coun-
ty Home, Earl Lamb, was not
available at the home during the
visit, and one of the County Com
missioners expressed surprise that
the Superintendent left the County
Home when he had already been
informed that the tour would be
there. Mrs. Lamb, the matron of
the Home, conducted the tour and
was subjected to the questions of
the group during a special discus
sion meeting in the dining room
of the Home.
Among the points discussed in
the meeting were questions as to
why the majority of the rooms
were lighted with nothing stronger
than 25 watt bulbs, why no attend
ant was kept awake at night to
care for the eight residents who
are confined to their beds, why
there are no regular visiting hours,
and why some of the linens on the
beds appeared to be not clean.
In answer to the question of the
low power lights, the matron said
the residents could have more light
if they would ask for it "but they
don't ask for bigger bulbs" She
explained that some of the other
residents would always CALI if
they hear some of the bedfast resi-
dents needing help at night. She
added that visitors were permitted
anytime when it was convenient,
eliminating the need for designat-
ed visiting hours. Her explanation
for the linen appearing dirty was
that the water caused the appear
ance.
Nurses, and others in the crowd
expressed concern about the strong
odors in one particular room, and
the matron explained that with
two bedfast residents. it was not

visiting committee are to check
regularly.
Incidentally, the matron stated
that they have ample help and
money for proper operation of the
home.
The operation of the County
home is handled by a $30,890 bud
get with Federal Surplus Commod-
tiles and some produce from the
farm on which the home is located.
The Superintendent is paid a
salary of $3.50 per month with food
and residence, plus car, furnish
ed; the matron is paid $135 plus
food and residence; another couple
is paid $3.50 monthly plus food and
residence and another woman gets
SIPS monthly plus mileage from
London and return. A sixth en-
ployee also gets SIPS monthly plus
room and board at the home.
Recommendations of the group
will be studied, according to those
at the session, and evaluated.
Later meetings of the group are
planned to discuss improvements
and to talk over the probability of
a bond issue to build new County
Home. Commissioner Rodger Bak-
err pointed out, during the discus
sion of the bond issue, that the

themselves just how they wish to
be governed.
Attorney d. II. Jackman ex-
planned TO the persons attending
the council that the ordinance
was directly under the Ohio Con-
stitution, and did not involve
many of the same qualities of the
ordinary ordinances. He added
that the Ohio Constitution pro-
vides for such an election, giving
the people the express right to
determine the type of government
most suited to their purpose, and
that in voting on the question of
such government, they are pro-
vided with specific rules which do
not apply in other elective issues.
A group of fifteen leading civic
minded citizens have already been
announced on one petition as po-
tential members of the framing
commission, and others may file,
either as a group or individually.
Those already on a petition as
group include Robert L. CLANCY,
Grace S. Creath, j. Robert Rigg,
James V. Shaw, Harvey H. Crab
be, William H. Riddle, jr., Virginia
E. Hume, B. Gwynne Burr, Paul
Bangham, Richard P. Hood, Ernest
Hell, P. E. Bacon, Mary S. Ros-
nagle, Alvin w. Barr, and George
E Wickline.
The fifteen people getting the
highest number of votes will be
those who will serve as the COM
mission for framing the charter.
The charter will later be put to
the vote of the people for approx
al, giving the voters chance to
approve as the action progresses.
