Council Maps $4,000 Street Repair
Program For This Summer In BluftOn

Bluffton will have approximately
S33, 900 to spend for street improve
ment and maintenance this summer,
Mayor David Risser told council
Tuesday evening.
Council members are planning to
contact several private contractors
before deciding whether to submit
this summers program to open bid
ding. If they do not put the projects
up for bids, the program will be
carried out by the village crew under
Street Commissioner William Gaiffe
Last years blacktopping of Jackson
street between Vine and Franklin
was viewed as an experiment in hav-
ing village work done by private con-
tractors.
Vance street, which has been in
poor shape since the construction of
the interceptor sewer system several
years ago, was given first priority
in street improvement plans.
Major repair work will also be
necessary on the northern end of
Thurman street. Appearance of a
wide, deep chuckhole in the center
of the street caused the street to be
closed to traffic two weeks ago.
Street Commissioner Gaiffe explained
that the interceptor sewer which runs
19 feet beneath the surface of Thur
man street apparently has settled and
a cavern has been followed out under
the surface of the street.
East College avenue also received
high priority in the summers street
program. Grading work and applica-
ton of crushed stone was completed
recently and mat surface will be
laid as quickly as possible.
Other streets receiving priority in
the repair program were Lawn
avenue, between Kibler street and
Grove street; Poplar street; High
street, between Lawn avenue and

Coveted Rainbow
Gone From Trout
Derby Prize List

William Dewitt, Findlay, left
Bluffton an extremely happy man
last Saturday after picking up a
pair of tagged trout from the clear
waters of Buckeye quarry.
One tagged trout, number 100,
was worth a basket of groceries
from Urich's IGA market. The other
husky, fighting rainbow was worth
more. 1t bore tag number one, the
much sought top prize winner, worth
s1OO from the Bluffton Sportsmen's
club and the Bluffton Businessmen's
association.
Dewitt took his top prize winner
with a nghtcrawler shortly after
$50 Saturday morning. Catching the
top prize fish climaxed seven days
of intense angling activity which
saw fishermen use every conceivable
type of bait in vain efforts to entice
the big rainbow to strike.
The $100 check was presented by
Lester Niswander, in charge of tbs
tag checking station at derby head
quarters, John Gilbert, Sportsmen's
club treasurer and Charlie Steiner
club secretary.

here this year.

Planning to open Bluffton's new
municipal swimming pool for its first
full season on Memorial Day or
shortly thereafter, the village recrea-
ton commission was preparing for the
event this week.
Bluffton Explorer Scouts cleaned
and scrubbed the pool Thursday eve
ming preliminary to painting the in
side. After the painting is completed,
10 days will be needed to fill and
filter the pool water. 1t was explained
this will be the first use of the filtra-
ton system, which had not been COM
pletely installed when the pool opened
late last summer.
No manager or lifeguards for the
pool had been chosen early this week,
although Paul Diller, recreation COM
mission chairman, said he has re-
ceived some applications.

that they plan to put it into effect
this year. There are only two plants
in Ada which employ larger numbers
OF persons. One has approximately
100 persons and the other has around
So employees.
Mr.. Cole said he thought Bluffton
had the leadership and sufficiently
large industries to use a combination
plan of house to house solicitation
plus the payroll deduction plan He
stated that the Ada group drew UP
constitution and bylaws, called a
community wide meeting to secure
its approval and then selected tn
board of directors. There is an an
nual meeting of the United Fund each
year to give a complete accounting
of its activities to the community.
Miss Meredith Stepleton's steering
committee is meeting weekly until a
decision is reached on the matter of
a United Fund for Bluffton.
