Take First Step
To Get Location
For Sewer Plant

West Jefferson's Village Coun-
cilmen and Ohio Fuel Gas Com
pany have settled their differences
relative to the new gas rate ordin-
ance for the Village. Terms were
reached after the case had been
taken to the Public Utilities Com
mission, but before the hearings
were set. Both sides avoided expen-
sive legal costs by settling the case
when they did, and the residents of
West Jefferson will enjoy a re-
duced rate in their fuel costs.
Under the new ordinance, the
minimum bill will be $3.50 based
on 25c per hundred cubic feet for
the first thousand cubic feet. After
that much gas is used, the custom
ers will pay a flat 6.8 cents per
hundred cubic feet. The ordinance
is for a period of four years, with a
clause which will permit either
side to adjust by increasing or de-
creasing costs of fuel. The ordin-
ance was passed as an emergency
measure. 1t also repealed an earl
ier ordinance which was opposed
by Ohio Fuel.
In other action council discussed
collecting from property owners
for engineering services performed
by the Village engineer in prob
lens incidental to private proper
ty. Action on the means for such
action was referred to the COM
mittee for action. And the group
also discussed plans to control
flooding of private property as a
result of overflowing storm sewers.
In the discussion of the proposed
sewage treatment plant, they pass
ed a resolution to appropriate a
bout 3.65 acres of property from
Riddle Snyder as a site for the
plant. The resolution was the first
step in the legality of condemning
the property. An easement for
trunk sewers, roadways and power
lines were also included in the
plans.
In action on a taxicab franchise
for the village, council passed an
ordinance setting out the franchise
form, and the amount to be paid
for the franchise as we'll as the
village license for the cabs.
Under the regulations of the or
dinance, the village may have one
cab for each 1900 population, or
fraction thereof. The license fee
will be $1,000 per cab per year,
and the five year franchise will be
sold for $4,000 for the period.
The West Jefferson Cab Com
pany is already operating in the
village pending the action by the
council, and the present company
appeared to be the only one in
terested in the business.

NOTEBOOK
New and Old Music Plays
Along as Fashions Go By
BY ELEM

The way fashion editors
recognize q new season has
rolled around again, Is not
only seeing the latest FASH
ions being unveiled for. them
at press showings in New
York, but also hearing the
new songs that are sweeping
the city.
For about IL years Sam
the Music Man" as fashion
editors call him, has been
playing the piano during the
designer shows. All the FASH
ion mood has to do is change
back to the 20s, 30s, or Gay
90s, and Sans there with
the right musical accom-
paniment of the period.
Sprinkled strongly through
out the old ditties you recog-
nize. are new musical comedy
hits. This last fashion week,
editors having seen Gwen
Verdon in New Girl In
Town" were delighted to hear
Sam giving a rollicking old
nickelodeon version of THE
Sunshine Girl Has Raindrops
In Her Eyes" To hear "All
At Once" from Judy Holli-
days THE Bells Are Ring
ing" musical as part Of the
fashion show piano recital
Sam puts on was also fun.
