Between 30 and 40 cars of certified
seed potatoes for spring planting
have been sold in Ohio this winter,
through the efforts of the county farm
bureau and the Ohio Farm Bureau
Federation-This is. estimated to be
five times the amount imported last
year. The tubers have been filed and
Lin iiiepected and are supposed to be
free Irom mixture and .transmissible
diseases. , ; ,

from Michigan, Wisconsin and Minne

Rural as it is otherwise known, is
Voming from Michigan, the Smooth
Rural from Wisconsin, and the Early
Ohio and a few Irish Cobblers from
Minnesota. -
Demonstrations conducted last yr
showed that greater yields were ob
tained from the certified seed, which
would indicate .that Ohio seed has
"run out." ..''

outlined this program:
Outlines Plan
Congressman Fess said the national
problem is to cut to the bone all ex
penditures and outlined this program:
1. Dismantling the. war machine
as quickly as possible- Already 321,
000 government employes have been
cut off the payroll and congress is
trying every day to further reduce
war agencies and bureaus.
E. Enforcement of the budget sys
tem to prevent duplication of work
and waste. He said a budget bill,
defeated by' the' Democrats in 1920,
has since been passed by the Repub
licans. It was. signed by President
Harding and has been in effect since
i July 1. (Under this system, the
standing . army . has Jberte reduced
from 576,000 to 126,000 and the
navy appropriation cut from $410,
000,000 to a little more than $200,000,
000. 3. Enactment only of such legisl a
tion, involving expenditures, as is
emergent or absolutely necessasry. .
"Pork barrel legislation," r ess
said, "is at an end, and we are now
running our country under the budget
system like any well regulated pri
vate business." "'' ',
Dr. Fess-seerd the "bloc" system
of getting legislation . through con
.gress, and declaredthat "our biggest
proDiem now is to insure every iiibh
and -woman who wants to work, a
place to work at a reasonable' wage."

compensation that will mean some

has taken up many a wounded and

them to get what was justly due them.

for 'held Monday evening and adjourned

Insurance Rates
The Council took under advisement
a plan to have the insurance . rates
lowered in this city- We are now in
iVx class and with the water works
system as it is today with its millions
of gallons of water and high pres
sure; with the fire apparatus that the
town should have a tendency to
bring a lower rate. At the present
tjme Wauseon is rated under the old
hand engine hre system and a very
low, inadequate water system.
! The Council voted to confer 'with
the State Insurance Dept. in an at
j tempt to have the rate lowered.
The following letter has been sent
to Supt Eiselatein at Toledo:
i April 5, 1922
G. L. Eiselstein, Supt.,
j Toledo, Ohio.
iDear Sir:
! On April 13, 1918, your Bureau
I made an inspectoin of and promulgat-
! ed rates for Wauseon, Fulton County,
I Ohio, placing the village in four and
I one half class.
At tne time tnis inspection .was
i made, the domestic pressure from our
waterworks system was very low, at
times being at zero at the grade level
in the congested business blocks, its
water supply' coming from deep wells
only. :
in iyzi, tne village constructed a
reservoir covering an area of 17
acres, .the average depth . of which is
22 feet, and installed a modern pump-ing-station
and filtration plant, which
is now bieng used by the city. The
minimum pressure maintained is now
60 pounds, at times, being much
greater.
Whereas, the village council and
the citizens of Wauseon, Ohio, feel
that a proper .reduction in Insurance
rates should be" granted on account of
said improvement, in connection with
the water works system of said vfll
age, therefore.'UtHt resolved, by the
ixmncii ot said vnlage, 'iat we here
by request The Ohio Inspection Bu
reau to investigate the Situation and
cnodition of tha-water works system
of said village, and, if said investiga
tion warrants a reduction in the In
surance rates of said village, that
said .Ohio Inspection Bureau proceed
at once with the relating of all risks
in said village, allowing proper re
ductions for said improvements above
referred to.
Respectfully submitted.

Clean Up Week
The date set for Clean-Up Week
was from April llth to 18th. This
week will be set aside to clean up the
allies and for residents of the town to
dig out their back yards and cellars
of accumulated rubbish from the win
ter and place it on the street in bar
rels or boxes and it will be hauled !
away. The sum of 10c per barrel will
be charged by the hauler or 75c per
load. Don't forget the date April
ll-18th. - i
Elm Street
The most of the time was taken up
with the Elm Street improvement.
Several of the property owners were
present and either voiced their objec
tion or approved of the plans and
specifications now on file.
The Council passed a resolution to
accept the original plans and specifi
cations but to cut out all but one type
of road. This they figured would save
considerable .money. To receive
bids on all types would make it nec
essary to sell bonds for the highest
type of road and would make an add
ed expense as hte bonds would draw
interest which the town would have to
pay.
The type selected by the Council is
a 7 inch concrete slab reinforced by
5-8 in steel bars. The street to be
widened to 24 feet from West Cor
poration line to Clinton street and
from this street to alley back of
Dimke's store 40 feet and from alley
to west line of Fulton Street 48 feet.
The town will pay 20 per cent of
what the state don't pay and the pro
perty owners 80 per cent of what the
state don't pay.
