There's No jail
In BeGUerdanl NOU,

Although Beaverdam officials
haven't admitted they have COM
pletely wiped out crime they
have at least abolished the vii
lage Jail.
Practically unused in recent
years, the old Jail in the TOWN
hall has been torn out to make
an addition for the fire depart
ment.
Fire quarters have been
heightened and repainted and
there is hardly a hint that this
same room once held some of
the most dangerous men in south
ern Richland township.

Law Change
May Ease Tax
Hike Path

An appeal for tax increases will
face Bluffton voters again in
May, 1860 if the tax hike already
scheduled for the November bal
lot is voted down, village coun-
Gil decided Tuesday evening.
A change in Ohio election laws
will give a tax increase a much
greater chance of passage in the
spring election than it will have
in this falls vote.
The two mill tax increase,
which is being sought for five
years, will require so per cent
approval for passage in the fall
election. BY next spring a pro-
posed tax increase will require
only majority vote for passage,
solicitor Malcolm Basinger told
the council.
The changes in requirements
were approved in the recently
concluded session of the Ohio
legislature. They will not take eff
feet until mid-September, which
is past the deadline for filing tax
proposals for this falls election.
Mr.. .Basinger was instructed to
have the requested tax increase
placed on the ballot in Novem-
Der. Councilmen noted that they
will try again in May, under the
new law with its lower require
mentS, if their proposal fails.
Mayor David Risser urged the
councilmen to campaign for pas
sage of the tax measure this
fall, noting that income from
the new tax rate would be avail
able in early 1860 if the increase
passes in November.
If the tax increase is not
passed until next year the in
come would not be available until
early 1861, he added. However,
the solicitor said that council
could issue "anticipatory notes"
if the tax passes in May, 1860.
Some money could be advanced
to the village in 1850 and could
be paid back to the lender when
the money from the tax hike be-
gins to flow in 1861.

Race Looms
In Beaverdam
Fall Ballot

Contested elections will be a
reality in Beaverdam for the
first time in several years as
both parties have filed lists of
candidates with the Allen county
Board of Elections.
The Republicans filed a full
slate for village and school
board positions while the Dem
ocrats lacked only three names
of having complete list.
In 1857 the two parties eau
cused together and picked only
one slate of candidates. The only
contest that year was for the
mayors Office, which was won
by Donald Barber.
Barber, a candidate for re-
election, again heads the Repub-
lican ticket. He is opposed by
Democrat Richard Kizer, who
is presently a member of coun-
ell.
Other incumbents seeking re-
election are councilmen William
Parkins, Robert Snodgrass, Rob
ert Welch, and Harold Crawfis,
clerk-treasurer Maurice Burk-
holder and school board member
Lawrence Yant, Jr.
Republicans have named three
candidates for three posts on the
Board of Education while the
Democrats have endorsed only
one, Doyt Hanthorn.
All six positions on the village
council are up for grabs. Six
Republicans and five Democrats
have filed their candidates..
