Sewer Problems
Blamed On Wrong
Connections Here

Leonard McNeal, superintendent
of the London Sewage Disposal
Plant, this week gave an explana-
ton for many of the sewers which
flooded Easements during tn e
early part of April. He placed the
blame on homeowners who direct
the downspouts into sanitary sew
erS.
In the explanation, he said as
few as three homes in a block,
which dump the downspout flow
into sanitary sewers, can cause
sewers to flood the Easements of
all homes in the block.
He pointed out that the Ohio
Health Department specifies that
cities and villages must have or
dinance prohibiting the downspout
connections to sanitary sewer sys-
TENS. He added that fines are to
be imposed for violations, and that
London has such an ordinance.

Newspaper Rates
May Increase 3O0o

NEW YORK-Members of the
American Newspaper Publishers s
Association in closing session April
25 were warned that rate hikes up
to 300 were in prospect within
the next few years. Richard c.
Steele, general manager of the
Worcester (Mass.) Telegram-Ga-
zette and president of the New
England Daily Newspaper Assn,
stated that higher and higher
newsprint and labor costs would
soon force rate increases all over
the country.
Major increases in advertising
rates of as much as 800 will be
required to meet ever ascending
COSTS" Mr.. Steele said. But the
relative impact of each advertising
message will remain the same as
it is today"
He added, Newspaper advertis-
ing is the most effective means of
moving merchandise in existence. "
On the local leved, ]. r. Conway,
Madison Press Company publisher,
stated that his company had raised
rates but twice since 1948 and that
while rate increases may be in
prospect for the future no immedi-
ate increases were contemplated.
I'VE have maintained present
rates simply because our adver-
tisers have given us an increased
volume of business all along the
line We hope to hold our rates
through the continued cooperation
and increased sales which our Gus
toners enjoy through using our
columns. Our circulation is at an
all-tine high but base rates have
MT gone up for over three years.
We think this fact alone is enough
to convince our customers of the
value of local newspaper advertis-
ing as compared with any other
media" Mr.. Conway said.

Hopes For Better
Me ee+ing Schedule

The Madison County Extension
Advisory Committee held their
spring meeting Monday evening
April 29th at the Extension Office.
The group agreed that a County
Agricultural Calendar of Events

concerned.
The group discussed many other
problems of interest to all Exten-
sion Committees in planning for a
long time program. Election of Off

reelected as chairman; Mrs. Eu-
gene Wilson, Vice Chairman; Mrs.
Raymond Mcclure, Secretary. The
newly elected Chairman and Vice
Chairman are Representatives to
the state council. The next meet
ing of the Extension Council will

No Rate Increase
At Dump; Cost OF
Pickup May Drop

c. S. McCarty of the London
Sanitation Department st a e d
Thursday that rates for dumping
refuse by private carrier at the
city owned land-fill dump had not
been raised. The question had
come up after George Stanley,
owner of a private collection SER
vice, ceased operation here. Some
businessmen were under the i'm
preston that the city had raised
rates forcing Stanley out of bus
mess. McCarty said that this was
not true.
Since the Inauguration of the
sanitation service here several
years ago, many downtown bus
mess firms had refused to use the
city service stating that rates were
excessive. During the period a
great many contracted with priv
ate firms to remove and haul re-
fuse at lower rates than the city
offered. Consequently rates for
those using the city service was
continued at high rate for rea-
son that not enough business hous-
es used the service frequently
enough to bring rates down.
Rates are based upon the
amount of refuse to be taken up
each week and the frequency of
collection, McCarty said. Anyone
wishing a survey to establish in
dividual rates should contact the
Sanitation Department at once, it
was said. 1t was hoped that full
cooperation by all London mer-
chants might effect a decrease in
rates since operational overhead
of the sanitation department is
more or less constant. It was a.
greed that a greater volume of
collection might bring about low
er rates in the future.

Council Appears
Interested; See
Several Benefits

London residents may get a
chance to decide whether or not
they want a charter form of gov
ernment when they go to the polls
in November for the general cleo
ton. At least that is the indica-
ton of discussion at the Thursday
night session of City Council
After hearing a discussion of the
Charter form of government for
the city one councilman was will
ing to start action Immediately to
bring the subject before the vot-
ers. He withdrew his move after it
was pointed out that action now
would force a special election.
In explaining the possibilities of
the charter form of government
for London, Solicitor Maurice
Beathard, explained that the ac-
tual plans for a charter would be
drawn to measure for London
not based on any general large
city or statutory form. According
to his explanation, the charter
form is ''tailor-made" for every
city using it He also pointed out
that the charter form will, if de-
sired, place control in the hands
of the council members rather
than in individuals.
Beathard pointed out that it is
possible to bring the question be-
fore the voters by a petition by ten
per cent of the voters of the last
election, or by two-thirds vote of
the city council. Opinion Thurs
day night seemed to be that coun-
Gil should initiate the action to get
the question on the ballot for the
November election.
Approximately so Ohio cities
operate under charter form of city
governments, and each charter is
individually fitted to the city
needs. Several villages have also
adopted charter plans rather than
the normal council-mayor plansD
In other action the Mayors re-
port showed S787.50 going to the
general fund from city fines and
costs; S1083.23 from highway fines
to the general fund; S45000 high
way costs to the general fund and
SlO83.22 to the street fund from
highway fines .(The state received
As per cent of the highway fines
and the city 55 percent. All costs
went to the city,
Council also took action which is
aimed at repaving First st. from
Main to Maple A resolution vas
introduced authorizing the engi-
neer to prepare plans so that the
costs may be determined and bids
let. The action which has been un-
der discussion for several meet
ings, was originally planned on a
part city-part owner financing
basis. Under the latest plans. the
city will assume the paving costs
and the property owners will be
required to repair and replace
curbs and cutters to meet specifi-
cations.
