Street Committee
Urges Levy Support

The adoption of the proposed
two mill extra tax levy would
enable Bluffton to put practical.
ly every street in town in good
condition within the next five
years, Mayor David L. Riser
said Monday at a meeting OF
councils street committee.
The mayor added that he be-
lieved, if the village were to con-
tinue the levy for a second five
year period, curbs and cutters
could be installed in most parts
of the town.
We're going to talk up the
levy as much as possible, but
we're not planning to ring door
bells or. conduct any organized
campaign" Mayor Riser said.
I'VE feel that our citizens rea-
lize the need and we are hope
full they will support this means
of meeting the problem.
Councilman Charles Hankish,
of the street commit
tee, pointed out that council has
been meeting all needs of village
operation on the same tax rate
which has been levied for years. |
We're falling short only on |
street maintenance. And there
we need some help" Mr.. Hank
ish said.
Councilman Ed Chamberlain
that the future street |
program should aim at recon
Struction from the base up as
was done recently on High street
between Lawn avenue and Ropp
hall.
The street was torn up COM
pletely and a heavy bed of
rock laid before the sur
face was completed.
Street Commissioner William
Gaiffe noted that the problem is
solved only by laying a heavy
base. Our streets were never
built for the heavy truck loads |
they are now called upon to |

20 Blocks OF
Street Work
Completed

Approximately 20 blocks oil
Bluffton streets were treated with
an asphalt sealer and stone chips
this week, completing the village
street maintenance program for
this year.
Street Commissioner William
Gaiffe said that the program
would exhaust approximately $4,-
700, all the village has available
for street repairs.
The tar and chips were laid
by Cliff Cossett, Findlay road
contractor. Earlier in the sum-
mer the village crew consumed
$500 gallons of tar and a guam
tity of stone chips in patching
holes in the streets.
Mayor David L. Riser ex-
planned that some of the villages
better streets were sealed in or
der to preserve them from de-
terioration caused by water en-
tering small cracks, freezing and
disintegrating the surface. Other
streets, which seem to be in poor
er condition, must await major
repairs when more adequate
funds are available.
Councils street committee
feels it would be a waste of mon
ey to surface treat some streets
which lack adequate foundation,
especially since there are not
sufficient funds to surface treat
all of the streets. It is a matter
of trying to save the best streets,
they say.
Streets resurfaced include Col
1ege avenue east of the rail-
road; Geiger and Mound streets;
College to Cherry; Grove street,
Main to Kibler; College avenue,
Main street to Little Riley
bridge, and Thurman street,
Route 103 to Elm street.
The downtown parking lot was
also to be tarred and Clipped
and as much of Main street was
to be sealed as remaining ma
terials permitted.

Average Attendance
Now $40 i'm Schools

The average daily attendance
in Bluffton schools as of Octo-
Der 9 was SO, Superintendent A.
B. Murray reported to the board
of education.
In a study of average atten-
dance, Mr.. Murray's records
showed that it is nearly double
what it was in the school year
1943-44 when the attendance was
only 451. 1t had been at an all
time high of 706 in 1867, but
dropped off when the school dis
trict lost some of its rural area
in the Cory-Rawson consolida-
ton.
Since then it has grown stead
lily. The addition of a kindergar-
ten three years ago has aided in
increasing the attendance figures.

'UF Drive Gets Flying Start:
Hits 2S Pct On Opening Day.

| Off to a headstart this year
with early industrial and business
solicitation, the Bluffton Rich
land Township United Fund drive
had actually reached the % per
cent mark before the official
kickoff Monday evening.
Volunteer door-to-door can
vassers were advised by UF Ex-
ecutive Secretary Woodrow Lit
tie that slightly over $1,000 in
cash and pledges had been turn
ed in from the partially COM
pleted industrial and business
canvass.
The UF solicitors were en-
couraged to do their utmost to
leave no local home unvisited
and to see that no individual
missed the opportunity of sfar-
ing in the financial support of
the community's health, welfare
and youth organizations. Ten diff
ferent agencies are supported by
the single campaign.
UF Campaign Chairman Rich
ard Cookson emphasized the need
for making sure contributors re-
alize they are supporting many
calls for assistance. "Give Your
Fair Share" is the slogan for the
1860 drive.
In many places a fair share
in the united effort is considered
an hours pay per month";" Mr..
Cookson reminded his co-work-
ers.
Better local employment situ-
alton and general prosperity and
assurance of good business pros
poets provide a good outlook for
the success of the campaign, UF
President Harold K1ingler said.
Bluffton UF officials noted that
letters had again been sent to
the National Polio Foundation
and American Cancer Society eX-
tending an invitation to join the
1860 campaign.
THE people of the Bluffton
community strongly support a
unified campaign where there is
but one annual house-to-house So
licitation with little campaign
and administrative expense" the
letters stated.
Officials of both organizations
again answered that it would be
contrary to their national policy
to accept the invitation, that they
must conduct separate drives.
This year the local UF direc-
tors have allocated 5000 of drive
receipts to Medical Research
Program. This agency has the
of local physicians and
health workers.
The Bluffton Hospital auxiliary

He and Mrs. Bixel live in their
new home recently completed on
South Main street.
Mr.. Bixel lists a number of
matters which he deems to be i'm
portant problems before the city
fathers. Efforts should be made
to keep Bluffton from becoming
isolated from new u. S. Is by
gaining as many access points
as possible, he stated. He also
would urge council to use its in
fluence to obtain a business route
through the city maintained by
the state. He regards the lack of
adequate surface drainage sewers
in many parts of town as a
major problem and advocates
better plating of sewer locations.
Better police communications is
another improvement in village
service, he suggests.

Major problem of the village,
it appears to me, is financing

are seriously needed. l feel that
the adoption of an adequate build

are upperfnest among the prob
