Urge Payment OF
S4,439 Swim Pool
Bill From Revenues
Bill Covers Work Completed
Without Authorization
By Village Council

Bluffton village council was re
quested at its meeting Tuesday eve
ming to review the payment of 8
s4,439 bill on the swimming pool con
struction project of last year, which
1t had previously washed its hands of
The request came in a letter from
A. G. Sawyer of the construction firm
OF Green and Sawyer, general con-
tractors on the job during the sum-
mer of 1856.
The bill was rendered for additional
work outside the contract, for laying
foundation and floor and installing
underground plumbing for a proposed
taalre bath house to be erected at a
later date.
At the time the village recreation
committee urged that the work be
done while it could be done less ex-
pensively = at the time the contract
or and his equipment were already
on location. Council, however, having
already spent more money on the pro-
Ject than had been voted by the viii
age refused to be financially respon-
sible for it.
When Paul Diller, chairman of the
recreation committee, said that the
money could be raised by public sub
scription, council authorized its engi-
neers to supervise the work, but is
sued letter to the contractor declar-
ing that the village would not be re-
sponsible for any debt incurred on the
work
ITO date the recreation committee
has failed to raise this money, and
we all know this would be a major
job especially with the pool completed
and making a nice return to the vii
lage of Bluffton," Mr.. Sawyer stated
in his letter
DR.. Travis, Mr.. Schiffke and Mr..
Marshall have expressed themselves
in the same manner. ALI felt we
should certainly be paid, but to raise
the money by subscription would be
impossible.
I'VE are taking the liberty to ask
you gentlemen if you will review this
matter and consider paying us out of
revenue from operation of the pool
last summer. If there is not enough,
pay what you can and arrange to pay
the balance this swimming season."
the letter concluded.
Members of council noted that the
village has already spent $65,819 on
construction of the pool whereas on
ly $4,000 in bonds was voted, and
that there was no money available
for payment of the bill. Further ques-
ton was raised as to whether it could
be legally paid by council in the abb
sence of a contract.
Village Solicitor John Harnishfeger
was to draft reply explaining coun-
ellis position in the matter.
During the past summer total rev.
enue from operation of the munich
pal pool amounted to 5,336.85. Oper-
ating expenses amounted to 3,491. 80,
according to Clerk A. J. B. Longs
DORIS records, leaving a net balance
of s1,S45.55.

Good Year To Keep
Old Hens In Flock

High egg prices this fall and
the prospect of continued high
prices for the winter are helping
producers decide what to do with
hens that have been in production
for a year.
This is a good year to keep hens
over, and let them go into sec
ond year of production.
Even with high prices on the old
hens side, though, they must be
carefully culled or the producer
may find himself losing money.
Grover c. Harris, University of
Maryland extension poultryman,
points out that culling isn't as i'm
portant with todays improved hy-
brid strain crosses as it used to be.
But this tendency to do less Gull
ing than a few years ago" he adds,
is not good business where hold
over hens are concerned.
we should keep only the best
hens-and Gull the poorer pro-
ducers out of the flock-if we are
keeping birds over into the sec
ond year"
Harris explains that the present
egg market situation resulted from
last springs record low hatch of
Iayer-type chicks The outcome is
low egg production and high egg
prices
