Two Mill Village Tax Jump
For Streets OK'd for Ballot

A two mill increase in munic-
ipal taxes was authorized by
village council Tuesday evening.
The tax increase will be sought
for either two years or five years,
depending on provisions of Ohio's
latest election laws enacted in
this session of the legislature.
Village solicitor Malcolm Ba-
singer was instructed to find out
if the law requiring a 55 percent
favorable vote for a two year
levy had been re-enacted by the
legislature. If this law is effec-
tive the council will seek the two
year levy.
Otherwise the two mill levy
will be sought for five years, al
though this requires a so percent
vote for passage.
Mr.. Basinger was told to file
for the levy which requires the
lowest vote for passage. He will
prepare the legislation and pre-
sent it to the Allen county Board
of Elections by the deadline next
Wednesday.
Proceeds from the tax in
crease, if granted, will be ear
marked for street repairs, mayor
David Riser said Tuesday at
council.

Heavy losses through grades

Bluffton colleges once solid
chances of capturing their fourth
straight Mid-Ohio conference
football crown.
Where he once counted 19 of
% regulars returning from last
year, coach Ken Mast can now be
sure of no more than seven men.
The latest blow came this week
when halfback Bill Lape an
nounced he is seriously consider
ing a transfer to the University
of Louisville, where a full schol-
arship awaits him.
This would complete the de-
cimation of the halfback corps
which was the best in the league
last season. The graduation of
Little All America Ebert Du-
benion was expected but the loss
of the other four top halfbacks
was not.

use by the water department.
The building must be given up
by the village within year if it

Portions of the building, which

J Action on a sewage service
rate increase was deferred at
least a week by village council
Tuesday evening.
The Board of Public Affairs
presented proposal for a 20
percent jump in the sewer serv-
ice charge. Councilmen countered
this by suggesting the BPA
charge an increased sewer fee
to residents who depend on pri-
vate cisterns for part of their
water supply.
CSewer service rates are based
on the local water rate. Persons
who use their own cisterns for
part of their water supply will
not draw as much village water.
Their water bill, and their sewer
bill, will be lower than in homes
where village water is used ex-
clusively.)
Councilman Francis Reichen-
bach opened this new avenue of
income when he suggested in
creasing the sewage service rate
to people "who are only partial
users of the village water sys-
tenn"
His suggestion drew immediate
support from Mayor David Riser
and the other members of the
council. The mayor said, "It
isn't fair for the majority to
carry the burden for this minor
ity."
Edgar Chamberlain suggested
sewage meters so the BPA could
have an accurate picture of how
much the homes with private
cisterns actually use the sewer
system. He pointed out that the
original sewer system ordinances
in 1852 made provisions for sewer
meters where necessary.
MIR. Reichenbach then sug-
gested that flat sewer service
fee be charged for homes which
are only partial users of mu-
nicipal water. He suggested TAX
ing an average of the sewer
service fees now paid by each
user and making this average
