Talks On Safety
AT Railroads TO
Be Here Tuesday

Railroad crossing safety meas
ures and proposed hikes in the
Sewer rental for London residents
were the major topics of the
Thursday night meeting of London
City Council. In both instances
Mayor Bryan w. Jenkinson plead
ed with Council to use extreme
caution to make sure all actions
would be best for all involved.
After Council had accepted rec
Concentrations of Railroad Safe
ty Committee, Mayor Jenkinson
stressed the fact that Council has
only two possible measures which
can be taken. and he pointed out
that council should take immediate
action. He said that Council should
ask the Public Utilities Commits
sion to declare some of the London
Crossings as hazardous. and that
the railroads be notified of the
pending action.
Mayor Jenkinson also asked, as
he did in his initial address to the
new council, that council should
pass legislation governing the
speed of trains through the city.
He emphasized that such an ordin-
ance would place the railroads in a
position where they would be more
willing to meet other requests of
the city.
A representative of the railroads
confirmed reports that he had told
a meeting of the Railroad Safety
Committee that the railroads
would not install gates and auto
matte signals. The recommended
tions accepted by Council, strictly
as recommendations, inc u d d
gates at all crossings, automatic
signals and separate signals for
use in areas where switching would
be done.
A special meeting of the railroad
representatives and the Railroad
Safety Committee appointed by
Council has been set for Tuesday
evening at 7:3o in Council Cham
bers. The public has been invited
to attend the meeting to hear the
different viewpoints.

Congressman Says
Much Red Wheat
In Ohio Surplus

Congressman Clarence j. Brown
has taken issue with the Depart
ment of Agriculture regarding the
Departments attempt to remove
soft red winter wheat from the eff
fects of Public Law 480, the farm
surplus disposal law. Brown said
the Department is not exporting
this type of wheat on the theory
that it is not in surplus.
In a letter to Secretary Ezra T.
Benson, Congressman Brown cited
that the Department has formerly
exported considerable amounts of
soft red winter wheat which is a
popular type grown in Ohio. He
also said that the Departments at
tempt to remove this commodity
from the export program had de-
pressed Ohio wheat prices to the
detriment of Ohio farmers.
According to Mr.. Brown, this
type of wheat is in surplus and he
claims that a check of the records
will show a great amount of this
wheat to be in storage by the Com
modify Credit Corporation, with
large amounts pledged under the
wheat loan program to be taken
over by the C.C.C. as of May 81,
1853. He said that there are large
amounts of the wheat in storage
on farms and in private elevators
throughout Ohio.
In his letter to Secretary Ben
son, Congressman Brown stated,
'in behalf of the wheat farmers of
my State, I want to protest against
the placing of any limitation upon
the expectation of soft red winter
wheat, or taking any similar action
which will further depress such
wheat prices"

Increase In Sewer Rental
Proposed By Council; Set
Special Utility Meeting

dinance which would increase the
sewer rental in London by 25 per
cent, Mayor Jenkinson voiced the
opinion that the taxpayers should
be given consideration of the hike
in rates, and he emphasized that
under the present economic condi-
tions many people are finding it
increasingly difficult to meet all
bills. (The rate increase would be
to cover $4,000 for renovation of
the Sewage disposal plant, accord
ing to recommendations by the
Board of Public Utilities)
The proposed increase would
raise the sewer to minimum of
SIPS instead of the present $1.00
minimum, and would make higher
water users pay 25 per cent of the
water bill instead of 20 per cent.
AS result of the discussion Of
the proposed ordinance, special
council meeting has been called
for Thursday evening, Feb. 27, in
Council Chambers to discuss the
measures with the water board.
This meeting is also open to those
people interested in the increased
sewer rates.
In other action Council passed
legislation authorizing acceptance
of bids for new police cruiser and
rejected an ordinance which would
have repealed the City's 3 per cent
admission tax at theatres. They
also gave passage to the appropria-
tion ordinance of S144 919.65 for
the last ten months of the year,
completing the appropriations.
