1949 IS YEAR OF PROGRESS
I (Concluded from page 1)
involving construction of new sew
ers resurfacing of 15 blocks of
streets, construction of new side
walks and curbs in the business
district and expansion of the city
water system.
In the storm sewer program, in
augurated as the start of a program
aimed at relieving flooded conditions
caused by the town’s outbioded drain
age network, new sewers were laid
on Cherry street from Mound street
to Big Riley creek, a continuation of
the Franklin street sewer and a new
sewer on Spring street. Combined
cost of the two projects was in ex
cess of $8,000.
Big Street Program
Resurfacing of 35 blocks on 15
streets, the largest street repair
program in the town’s history, cost
more than $5,000. In addition to the
re-surfacing project new curbs were
built in the downtown area and many
sections of walks were replaced in
the same district, including that in
front of the town hall building.
City water lines were extended to
the eastern boundary of the Sunny
Acres addition, bordered by Cherry
street and the County Line road,
giving water service and fire protec
tion to all areas inside the corpora
tion. In the project 500 feet of new
lines were laid.
Expansion program of the mu
nicipal light plant, launched two
years ago, also was completed during
the last summer, with a new 2,000
KW turbine being put on the line
in March, and a new 600 HP boiler
going into use in June. Cost of the
entire program was $225,000.
Home Building Spurts
Residential building, after sagging
in 1948 from post-war boom levels,
picked up again during 1949.
Indicative of the faster tempo of
home building, 10 new residences
were started here during the year,
in comparison with five started in
1948. In 1946 and 1947 there were
14 new homes each year, and the
1949 program definitely brought a
return of the building boom.
The town’s major building project,
however, was on the Bluffton college
campus, where construction of a new
$280,000 gymnasium-auditorium was
started in July. It is expected that
the big structure soon will be under
roof, and use of some parts of the
building is scheduled for the next
school year. Robert Miller, Columbus
Grove, has the general contract.
$2 Million Program
Industrial expansion also has kept
pace with the building program,
marked by the above listed improve
ments at the municipal light plant
and at the large Central Ohio Light
and Power Co, generating station in
Bluffton.
A $2,000,000 expansion program
was started by the Central Ohio
utility in late spring, including the
construction of a 43 by 110-foot
building addition installation of a
fifth turbo-generator and a new
boiler.
This is the third expansion pro
ject since Central Ohio Light and
Power Co. completed its original
building here in 1937.
Retail business locations also kept
pace with the year’s tempo, with five
undergoing major remodelling pro
jects, and seven others being painted
and having minor remodeling work
included.
CARD OF THANKS
I wish to thank all the Bluffton
friends for their expressions of
sympathy in the death of my beloved
