Brooks Theatre of the Cleve-
and Playhouse for its Cleve-
land premiere, Pictures in the
Hallway is a dramatizatlon by
Paul Shyre of the second in
O'Casey's six-volume autobio-
graphy. The show won wide
critical acclaim during its New

lures in the Hallway is a humor-
GUS running story about Dub
lin lad who under the motley
dome of the sky learns about
poverty, politics, merchandising,
religion the grandeur of litera-
ture, and the glory of love. The
audience was completely caught
up in the turbulence of this
human tale"

chase agreements with the govern

Game to Lima
May Move September q
Match With ONU To Fill
Open Date at Lima Stadium

Bluffton college athletic officials are
considering the transfer of one home
football game to Lima stadium, ath-
letic director A. c. Burcky told The
Bluffton News last week.
Burcky said he was studying DOS
sibilities to transferring the tradi-
tional game with Ohio Northern to
the Lima field.
The Lima Junior Chamber of Com
merce has tried for two years to bring
the Beavers to Lima for one game
during the season. Burcky said he
planned to contact representatives OF
that group to confirm their request
for game.
College athletic officials met We'd
nesday and decided to contact the
Lima officials about moving the
Northern game to the Lima field.
This would fill an open date on the
Lima stadium card, because neither
Lima high school has home game
scheduled for that evening.
Last fall Ohio Northern played one
OF their early home games at Lima
Stadium, under the auspices of the
Lima Jaycees.
The Northern game is the third
match of the season on the Beaver

Bluffton village council will request
revenues totaling SCI, ,426 to meet its
needs for 1859 when it meets next
Tuesday evening to conduct public
hearing and adopt the budget pre-
pared by Clerk A. J. B. Longsdorf.
Of the total 'budgetary require
ments for next year, $44,S46.38 will
be required for general operating ex-
penses and $16,580 will be needed to
meet bonded debt and interest pay
ments.
Mr. Longsdorf's budget provides for
expenditures almost exactly the same
as the current year, but he estimates
that a once large frst-of- -the-year
balance will be reduced from SIS, ,402
in 1857 to $1,127 by the end of 1853.
Reason for the large balance in
1857 was the fact that street repair
funds had accumulated while many
of the streets were torn up for sewer
improvements. In 1857 and this yeap
this large surplus was used in a
heavy program of repairs. Street re-
pairs during 1859 will be only bare
minimum unless voters see fit to ap-
prove an extra levy for the improve
ment program.
Principal items of revenue to meet
the budget for next years operation
will include $14,956 from the general
property tax, $4,000 from sales tax
$1,000 from intangibles and $4,000
from garbage disposal fees. Cigarette

At least seven new homes are in
various stages of construction at the
present time and number of major
home remodeling projects are under
way this summer.
One of the most recent homes to be
started is that of Mr.. and Mrs. Paul
Emmert just south of town. Footers
were poured about three weeks ago
and brickcrete walls are being laid up
by Paul and Jan Emmert now. When
completed, the large four-bedroom
residence will be attached to the
family's present quarters, which are
to be converted into a garage and
shop.
The new home being erected be-
tween the present residence and the
pond is of modern ranch style and
includes large living room fireplace.
There will be no basement.
The basement is being completed

First Wheat
Harvested But
Farmers Worry
Rain Keeps Farmers
From Ripened Grain
AS Heavy Loss Looms

The first of the area wheat harvest
made its belated appearance Monday
morning at the Mt. Cory elevator
when Clarence Walters, route l, Jen-
era brought one wagon load to tAe
elevator.
Walters, who lives east of Mt. Cory
on the North Washington road, cut
the wheat Saturday.
He dried the wheat on portable
drier on his farm and did not bring
it to the market until Monday. The
wheat tested 81, with moisture con-
tent of 1875.
Walters had not completed the
harvest from his wheat field and his
yield was not yet determined.
Heavy rains throughout the entire
growing season have delayed the
wheat harvest. 1t is now nearly two
weeks behind normal, with most
farmers still experiencing weather
problems and not expected to harvest
their crops for several days.
Weather observer Ray Burkholder
reported rain on II out of the 13 days
preceding today. Thus far July has
brought 491 inches of rainfall COM
pared with a normal of 3.46 for the
entire month. The rainfall for June
and the first Is days of July totals
1897 inches. Back in 1896 the wettest
combination of months on the records
produced 1892 for June and July.
Most local wheat fields appear to
be dead ripe, with the heads giving a
blackish cast. Although the grain is
ripe, it is high in moisture and the
fields for the most part have been too
soft to permit harvesting.
Strong winds could cause heavy loss
by breaking the straw and flattening
the wheat so that it could not be
combined.

Council To Study Proposed 1859
Budget Of $6l,426 Next Tuesday
More Than One-Quarter of Budget Required
For Debt and Interest; Balances Dwindle

taxes, inheritance taxes, liquor per-
mits, and miscellaneous other items
make up the balance.
The major expenses provided for by
the budget include $3.50 for police
protection; $2,100 fire protection;
$4,000 street repair; S3,450 garbage
and trash removal; $500 building
maintenance; s1,500 sewer mainten-
ance; $500 parks and recreation, and
major item of $3.50 for street
lighting.
At the time of the sale of the
municipal light plant in 1854 there
was a feeling that the village budget
would have difficulty stretching to
cover this annual item for street
lighting. The problem has thus far
been solved by the fact that the viii
lage tax duplicate (value of all tax
able property has increased nearly
million dollars since then, and other
tax revenues have been up
In 1854 when the light plant was
sold, village revenues for operating
expenses amounted to 2,678. In 1857
when the first full years payment of
street lighting bill became due, the
revenues had increased to Sal, ,944, an
increase of $9,266. This year the
revenues should total $43,331, and
next year a similar amount is antici
pated. This has Offset the street
lighting bill as we'll as some other in
creased operating costs.
