StiffIer's Stores
Purchase Green
And Company Here

Transactions were completed this
week for the transfer of ownership
of the Green and Company De-
partment Store to Stiffler Stores,
according to Howard r. Richard
son. Stiffler manager for the Lon
don store.
Ernest II. Green, previous owner
of the store, started in the business
while still in high school during the
early part of the century, later
joining the Cheseldine Drygoods
Store where he became partner
with E. c. Splitter in 1914. In 1926,
after the former business had
burned, the partnership of Sharpe
and Green was started at 118
South Main Street. In 1923 the
store moved to the present location
and Don II. Placier purchased the
Sharpe interest in the early 1930's.
In 1888 Virginia Bell Green
bought the Placier interest and in
1853 she purchased her fathers in
terest.
Manager Howard Richardson
said Miss Green will continue with
the store under the Stiffler opera
ton.
Stiffler's owns stores through
out southeastern Ohio with main
offices at Jackson.

PUG. To Get Crossing Study
Council Asked To Regulate All
Traffic And Trains In London

Representatives of the two rail-
roads operating through London
agreed Tuesday evening that the
safest protection for the crossings
would be gates, but said the costs
of the gates here would be beyond
reason. They explained that each
gate would cost the railroad about
S30,000 In the discussion at spe-
cial railroad safety committee
meeting they also agreed that the
best results could be obtained for
London by taking the issue to the
Public Utility Commission for
study.
w. A. Sprunk, superintendent of
the Ohio division. represented the
New York Central and D. E. Per-
grin. District Engineer, spoke for
the Pennsylvania Railroad.
It was noted during the meeting
that City Council is taking action
on some regulatory measures
which the railroad representatives
suggested at an earlier meeting,
but the committe requested further
measures for safety. Pergrin said
the Pennsylvania Regional Man.
ager had studied the London situa-
ton, and was of the opinion that
London has adequate protection.
He admitted that some additional
measures are being taken to enable
operators to expedite their duties.
Mayor Bryan w. Jenkinson re-
emphasized the requests which ne
has continued to make since the
first 1858 council meeting. He ask
ed for regulation of both street and
railway traffic with mandatory
stops at all crossings al all times.
He also suggested considerable re-
dnction in the present 30 mile
speed limit for trains through Lon
don
Sprunk, speaking for New York
Central, said his company would
| Immediately go TO court if speed
limit as low as 10 miles per hour
would be passed in an ordinance
Pergrin said the Pennsylvania sys-
tenn has always fought speed limits
| of 10 miles per hour. and that the
/ objection would be especially
strong here because of the Flor
ence Hill which westbound traffic
must climb shortly after leaving
London.
The meeting of the committee
adjourned with the intention ol
recommending to council, as May
or Jenkinson had suggested. that
the Public Utilities Commission be
called in to determine the serious
ness of the London situation. Both
representatives told the group that
the railroads and the city will have
no choice but to observe the recon-
mendations of the Commission in
spectors.

Project Leaders Study Prepared Mixes
In Lessons For Saving Time In Cooking

Saving time and energy in bak-
ing was a major concern of twenty
one project leaders who were
trained for the home demonstration
basic six project by Shirley Lynn
Nall. Home Economics Agent.
The home agent stressed the i'm
portance of good equipment for
baking, efficient use of equipment,
improvement of methods, and use
of home made mixes, as way to
save time and energy and retain
standard for good baked products.
Seven different mixes were illus
trated as part of the training.
These were home made mixes
which the homemaker can prepare
in large quantity ahead of time.
thereby cutting down on last min
ute preparation time. Mixes illus
trated and products from these
mixes were: cake and cookie mix,
basic mix. oatmeal mix, pudding
mix. pastry mix, pie filling mix and
Corn meal mix Over seventy-five
different recipes were available for
using the seven mixes.
A demonstration was conducted
on making a mix and several pro-
ducts were made from the mix
demonstrated.
The eleven home demonstration
clubs will have this lesson present
ed to them during the month of
March by the following leaders:

improvements To
Meet Demands OF
Board OF Health

Bruce D. Lewis, president OF the
London Board of Public Utilities,
explained the proposed Sewage
Treatment Plant renovation and
expansion program at a special
Thursday night meeting of City
Council. He also explained why
the Board of Public Utilities has
asked for an increase in the sew
er rates.
Lewis told council members
that the present State Board of
Health permit for dumping the
treated sewage into Ohio Streams
expires March Is, and renewal is
dependent upon action which
could only be made with the pro-
posed program as outlined by the
Board. Lewis stated that he did
not know what would happen
should the city fail to pass legis-
lation to clear the way for needed
improvements as outlined by the
State Board of Health.
The proposed Improvements and
additions at the sewage treatment
plant would include two major
items: a digestor tank at about
$4,000 and an aerator system at
about $4,000. Other additions and
improvements would bring the to-
tai to S125,000 plus $4,000 which
would include engineering fees,
legal costs and incidentals, to give
an overall total of $4,000 for
the project.
In talking to council, Lewis told
them that the early estimate was
based on interest rates last fall
when the money situation was
more severe than at present. He
said the first estimate on interest
would have cost the city an ad-
ditional SIT, $50 in interest over
30 year period. Revised esti-
mates at current interest rates in
dicate that the interest cost could
probably be cut to S66, 1865 if pay
ed over a 221a year period, or to
S59,690 if paid off in a possible
period of 201a years.
Lewis also pointed out that with
the present labor situation there
is also chance that the costs oil
the actual construction will moi
be as high as anticipated by the
engineers in the original proposals
and projections.
The work on the sewer project
would be done with a mortgage
revenue bond issue which would
be paid off with the receipts from
the sewer service rentals, includ.
ing the proposed increase of 25
per cent on all sewer bills. I'm.
provements would give the city q
trouble free sewage treatment
system which would handle a pop.
ulation of $500 and would require
no major repairs for the next 20.
25 years. The present plant is al.
ready operating above capacity
according to the report at the
meeting.
