Replacement Cost
Swayed Council
Against Sale

Cost of a new building for the
Board of Public Affairs was the
major obstacle to a sale of the
old light plant building to the
Triplett Electrical Instrument
company, councilman Wilbur
Amstutz said this week in a Gala
ification of his vote.
A new building = to serve as
office, garage and pumphouse
would cost $4,000, according to
Finkbeiner, Pettis and Strout, To
ledo engineers. Space for a pro-
posed water softening unit would
be included in the building.
The Triplett bid was $22, 500.
The extra $31, 900 involved in re-
placing the building was the de
Gliding factor in swinging the
council away from the sale. the
four councilmen who lined up
against the sale have indicated.
Mr.. Anstutz, Edgar Chamber
lain, Charles Alderman and Will
liam McKibben voted against the
sale of the plant.
After the sale proposal was de-
feated they were joined by the
other two councilmen in agree
ing to lease the plant to Ex-Cell-O
corporation for three years for
800 a month.

Local Pastor Reports to Conference
On Church Discipline Study

listed these: THE unique and fl
nal affirmation of the gospel is
that through faith we are made
new creatures in Christ. Preoc-
cupation solely with mans de-
pravity not only undermines the
possibility of Christian morality,
but in fact denies the reality of
redemption Discipline should
be exercised within the boundar-
les of the church. The unbeliev-
er is not to be disciplined by the
church but to be won to Christ
The new man in Christ was
a free man but he was also a
responsible member of the COM
munity of the faithful The
autonomy of the local congrega-

The Rev. Jacob T. Friesen,
pastor of the First Mennonite
church of Bluffton, reported the
findings of the interim Discipline
Study Committee of the General
Conference Mennonite church
during last Fridays session.
The report presented by the
local pastor stated: Church dis
cipline is inherent in the Bibli-
cal understanding of the nature
of man and the church." yet the
need for love in discipline was
emphasized by saying, 1.-The first
concern of the church is to heal
the fallen, to restore him to his
forfeited relationship with God,
to equip him again for worship
and for the service of the Lord"
Among the basic premises for
church discipline, the committee

Police Route
Teeners From
Ex-Cell-O Tower

Bluffton police, who recently
were called to remove a pair of
teenagers from the roof of the
elementary school building, were
summoned for another high al
titude job Tuesday evening.
This time two boys were re-
ported climbing atop the Ex-
Cello water tower.
Arriving on the scene, Chief
William Gaiffe and Patrolman
Wade Bechtel focused the cruis-
er spot light on the tower and
ordered the boys down. After a
15-minute wait, the youngsters
surrendered"
Their reason for climbing
aloft: ITO get good view of
Beaverdam.
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1959-08-20

Financing either system by
mortgage revenue bonds should
be within Beaverdam's reach,
the engineer said.
Faced with this choice the
councilmen said they hoped the
water softening system could be
built while the main distribu-
ton system is being installed.
They said Beaverdam residents
would be more likely to support
the new system if it included
soft water facilities.
Mr.. Connor's study was based
on 160 residential water users,
plus heavier use by the Beaver
dam school and commercial
users in the village.
Suggested rates were 81 a
month if the water system alone
is installed and S. or $3.50 a
month if the water system and
water softener are built at the
same time.
The distribution system would
cost roughly S44 900. Included in
this would be 10,500 feet of
mains, 10 fire hydrants, valves
and water taps for the individual
residences.
Another $40, 900 would be need
ed to drill a well, build a pump
house and install pumps and in
stall equipment to lower the iron
and sulphur content of the water.
Addition of a water softener
would mean SIC, 900 or more, Mr..
Connors said.
The remainder of the money
would go as a discount to the
firm which would buy the
village bonds, pay for engineer
ing and legal fees and prepara-
tory work, the engineer told the
counciimen.
Installation of a standpipe OF
village water tank would boost
the costs appreciably, he said
A water tank was estimated al
$50, 900, a standpipe at $4,000.
Income from the water rate.
would be used to retire the mort
gage revenue bonds which would
pay for the system.
Operating expenses of a sim.
pie water system would be ap
proximately $500 a year. The
remainder of the income would
be used for debt retirement and
interest payments. The engineer
explained that Approximately a
so percent reserve above debt
payments would be needed to
meet requirements set up by
most firms in the bond market
today.
Mr.. ConnorS and the council
will meet again on August 81 to
discuss the proposal. After plans
are more detailed the council
plans to hold public meetings to
explain the entire water system
and the way the council has
chosen to finance it.

COnvicistoAir
Grievances as
Revolt Ends

FORT PILLOW PRISON
FARM. Tenn. May Is (AP) !.
--Riot-weary convicts set a
chance 70 air their grievances
before State officials today on
the heels OF a il-hour dormi-
tory revolt that ended as
abruptly as II began.
The youthful inmates pushed
aside their barbados and freed
two guards unframed yester-
day after prison ofiicials prom
ised that their complaints
would be heard and there would
be no reprisals.
After a series Of talks with
state Corrections Commits
sioner Keith Hampton. the
prisoners surrendered meekly
to massed highway patrolmen
shortly before noon. The
troopers made no attempt 70
crush the uprising. Instead,
they planned to starve the In
mates out: there was no food
in the dormitory.
Plans 2-Day Inquiry
Mr.. Hampton said he
planned to spend the next two
days trying to get TO the bot
tom Of the rioting. which was
designed to focus attention on
grievances ranging from bad
food to alleged brutality.
The trouble tiared when the
two unarmed guards-Hubert
Neyman, 81. and Jubie s. Voss,
49--began their nightly rounds
on the second floor. Lights
were smashed and hunks and
mattresses piled against doors
and windows to forestall use Of
tear gas. Oficials placed the
damage at $500.
The guards were held at
knife-poi as prisoners
shouted their complaints to Of
ficials and newsmen outside
the fioodlit building.
Demands "Justice"
"All we expect is a little bit
of justice" pleaded Leonard A.
Thompson, rs, Of Minneapolis.

We've been kicked around,
I can tell you" Thompson said.
Guards in this prison don't
know what age we're living in"
I'VE work from sun to sun
and a lot of the time have to
walk 4 miles to work and maybe
jog 4 miles back in the eve
ming" he said.
Prison officials admitted in
mates sometimes were dashed
which was another Of the
grievances. But we don't use
the leather strap nearly
enough" one guard remarked.
