TE CHILLICOTAS, OHIO, SCIOTO GAZETTE FRIDAY, AUGUDI 2, 1935 AWO Signature Sought By Perry At Columbus On City's PWA Project Request ENGINEER IN CAPITAL FOR BOULAY OKEH Intercepting Sewer, Waste Disposal Plant Asked for Chillicothe. City Engineer Glenn Perry went to Columbus today in quest of a signature that would start three proposed PWA projects, totalling an approximate $700,000 on their way toward a special election ballot. Perry was to lay his preliminCary plans for an plant, intecepting and sewer, resewage disposal surfacing of streets before L. A. Boulay, state PWA engineer.

Tentative 0. K. Sought A tentative approval from Boulay will be sufficient authority for council action leading toward the submission of the issuance of bonds to vote of the people. Council is scheduled for a special meeting Monday night. Perry pointed out that much additional engineering is to be done on the intercepting sewer and disposal plant plans, for which he will ask council to provide funds to employ assistants.

He said he thought his plans were sufficiently advanced, however, to warrant consideration of Boulay. Will Need Engineer It will be necessary subsequently to employ a designing engineer to construct the disposal plant, he pointed out. This need not hinder the work of building the intercepting sewer, which will tie in five sewers emptying into the Scioto river and Paint creek. Perry said the disposal plant cost would be determined by extent of treatment given sewage, and would run anywhere from $150,000 to $400,000. A plant giving 35 percent treatment would suffice at present, but he pointed out that the state board of health advocates that new plants be equipped to give up to 85 percent treatment.

Consider Two Sites Two sites for the plant are being studied, both in the southeast end. One is between Honey creek and Paint creek, south of where Hickory street runs Into Southern avenue; the other 1s south of the old distillery on Southern avenue. A topographical survey to ascertain levels of these projected sites must precede land acquisition, he said. About 10 acres would suffice, he estimated. The intercepting sewer, estimated to cost about $200,000 would tie in sanitary sewers at Hickory, Poplar and Columbus streets on the Scioto river, and two emptying Into Paint creek.

Laterals also would be necessary on Hickory and Poplar streets, as far south as Main and Fourth streets, respectively, since the existing sewers do double duty in handling sewage and storm water. Estimate at $500,000 Perry estimates that the Intercepting sewer and disposal plant would cost, roughly, $500.000. He figures the third projects, street resurfacing at $200,000. Whether the street resurfacing project would be submitted as a separate bond issue remains to be determined. Government grant of 45 percent is possible on the projects.

The government also provides for lending the remainder at four percent. Perry indicated that the city might sell the bonds to private investors, rather than the government, in view of the low interest rate at which city has been able to dispose of bonds during the past year. Before calling on Boulay, Perry expected to contact Burgess Niple, sanitary engineers, who the ropes" surround the PWA setup, having recently handled a disposal plant project at Lancaster. The Columbus firm has offered to supply engineering services in connection with preliminary plans for the sewer and disposal plant for $100, and offer to prepare final plans and supervise construction on the customary fee of 6 per cent of total cost, Mayor W. S.

Barrett said. CUTRIGHT HURT IN CRASH Son, Too, Injured Slightly When Autos Comde Today. Mrs. Howard Cutright, 571 Cedar street, and son, Howard Cutright, suffered minor injuries when Mrs. Cutright figured in a collision with an auto driven by J.

Cutright and son were attended by Dr. O. L. Iden. DAVEY SCORES 0.

S. U. AGAIN (Continued From Page One.) the course of a harangue against the university in which the governor declared that the $5,800,000 Ohio State University appropriation represented one-eighth of all the money spent by the state ernment and that it was twice as much provided for the four other state universities combined. He added that it costs $285 per Ohio State year per student as compared with $217 per school year per student in the other state colleges. Dr.

Rightmire shared the brunt of Mr. Davey's attack with Attorney General John W. Bricker. Said Governor Davey: "Were it not for a partisan attorney general who wants to be governor, there wouldn't have been any trouble (on the recent budget cuts). Cites Budget Slashes Asserting that he visualized the characteristic state of most of the people of Ohio as one of struggle, he emphasized the fact he had cut almost $9,000,000 out of the appropriation bill after it had been presented to him showing an increase of $15,000,000 over that of two years previous.

Governor, Davey devoted most of his address to a discussion of the financial problems of the state government, pledging that his administration would keep the budget balanced and would go out of office with money in the bank for the state. Declaring that the tenmill limitation had cut away onethird of local revenues and predicting that 1936 might bring a financial crisis, he emphasized the value of the sales tax, asserting that local subdivisions could not get along without it. Offers The Figures "The sales tax was estimated to yield $60.000,000," he said. "Actually, it will yield $55,000,000. Of this, $24,000,000 go to the schools, $16,500,000 to the counties, townships and cities; $6,000,000 to old age pensions; $6,000.000 to poor rellef of and $4,000,000 to the retirebonds issued previously.

We could not keep the schools open without the sales tax; nor could counties and cities continue to function. "However, the problem is not entirely solved. We shall 1 need 000,000 for old age pensions in 1936. We still have to provide more money for poor relief despite the fact we have provided 000,000 for this cause already." Mr. Davey praised the Ohio legislators for "a fairly good "They have passed most of the measures I want," he said.

Upon his accomplishments he dealt at length. These he cited, as: First, passage of the public school foundation program, characterizing it as the greatest Ohio school legislation In 100 years; second, provision for 44 the greatest program of conservation in the history of third, passage of the bill to permit people to pay their taxes in monthly installments; fourth, passage of the bill to permit paying of delinquent taxes without being pushed for them and fifth, provision for free text books. The governor turned next to his interpretation of his verbal combat with President Rightmire. In his embittered statements about Ohio State university, he asserted that after he was through paring the budget of that institution, it still was left with $172,000 more than had been the case two years ago. He charged President Rightmire with making statements that revealed he (Rightmire) was running the university inefficiently and 1 repeated his often-voiced accusation that Dr.

Rightmire tried to obtain a $3,500 raise when the Ohio State budget was made up for this year. Explains Highway Increases The governor acknowledged criticisms leved at him for increased expenditures in the highway department. These increases, he said, are the aftermath of the previous administration. Specifically, he pointed out his predecessor had entered into a contract with the federal government on Muskingum Valley highway projects tieing up $8.000,000. Since the highway department is costing the state $3,000,000 more now than it did previously, his saving in this field, he asserted--by referring again to the $8,000,000 for which he said he was not responsible--his highway department saving is $5,000,000.

"By vetoing the state employes' retirement bill, I effected more savings," he said. "This bill would have cost the state $1,000.000 every two years. I saved you another $1,000,000 by reducing automobile license fees; and I made it easier for you by extending the time for payment of these fees to April 1st." In conclusion, Governor Davey pointed out that he was able to effect his savings by "letting nobody come in the back door and tell Ine what to do." "When I asked you to elect me," he said, "I promised that I alone would be the governor; and I have kept my word."
