CEDARVXCiLE, OH®, >AY, DECEMBER10, 1915 PRICE, 51.00 A YEAR- e w f MKKRY TIME AT COUNCIL MEETING MONDAY EVENING DITCH QUESTION G. H» Hartmaw Beats Council and School Board In Getting Sewer Connection Arguments Flew Fast and Furious, Much To Amusemirnt of Citizen*. 1,* ■ Ifc was a free show Monday night at council mooting and no, charge o f the freedom of speech being denied any­ one could be made for at times a half down would be talking at one time. So heated did the arguments get that it was necessary to shut off the gas aud turn in the fresh air. The question at issue was over a sewer connection on Walnut street, that had been made contrary to law as well as village ordinances. An In- -formal meeting o f council was held Saturday evemhg :whea Mr. G, M, men at work Sabbath night about nine o’clock and the ditch was finished and tile laid before the break of day on Monday, although not completely filled until sometime in -the afternoon. Mr. Hartman when before council would not give a clear answer as to whether tile had been laid or not and left council undecided. Following the meeting an investigation was made and found that such had been done. Council on Tuesday the matter up with the solicitor and it now devel­ ops that there is no legal authority on the part of .council granting the school board the right to connect to a storm .aeWer. This would stand against the village and what will he done is yet a question. Messrs. Collins and Hamraan agreed ’;o bring the matter before the school board and pass a resolution to con­ form with one the council passed, that would forbid any future taps to the drain. ■ • The mayor's receipts were $17.and reports from different: committees mad and approved, Mr. H. A r Ellis offered his resigna­ tion as member- of the board of health. The appointment wall be left q .Mayor-elect McLean, who was pres­ ent. ’ < A recess was taken until Decembe: Hartman was called in fpr opening;a ( 31 when the business •for the year street without a permit, Mr, G. —*■1— i-*--» • - Hamman o f the school hoard drainage ,'V \ *' « committee' was also present. Mr. Hartman gjaimed to have’ no knowl­ edge of such a permit being necessary as he had made his arrangements with the,school board. Mr. Hamman stated that although he- was a mem­ ber of the,drainage committee no such arrangement had been made so far as he knew, Mr. A. G. Colline of the school hoard and also on this committee had ' been communicated with by the street committee and he informed council that work Would stop, at once until a meeting of council Monday evening when all interested parties, would be present and, the matter settled. A t the meeting Mr. Ctfllins was given the floor’ and stated the school board’s position. He. informed coun­ cil that the board had not given Mr. Hartman the right to open the street and so far as,a connection'being.made this agreement having been.entered into some weeks before the ditch'was . startedNyhen the board expected to cross the Hartman lot. It wag| also understood that by allowing such con- " nection $25 was to-be. deducted from the price of a village street that the board was closing* part of- which was to fall to Hartman, who would then sell it to the school hoard. Mr. Col­ lins contended that it was not his un­ derstanding that tiie school.hoard had. no Tight to allow Others to connect to the sewer while council held other­ wise and the minutes were read show­ ing the instiructiona to the street com- atjttee when the grant was made. Mr. stated that he had Informed Saturday to discontinue .must be completed,' On the following day, January 1, council will reorgan­ ize, W: H. Barber retires and Mayor McFarland takes his place. SCHOOL BOARD HOLDS CALLED MEETING TUESDAY The local hoard of education held a called meeting Tuesday due to the situation over the ditch matter. The hoard discovered that it Was likely to lose what privileges had been granted, by council if any outside connections were made. Rather than take this chance after spending several hun­ dred dollars getting the ditch put in, a resolution was passed instructing the clerk to notify Mr, G. H, Hart­ man to disconnect" hi's sewer Within ten days, I f this is not “done the hoard will -disconnect it. „ FENCE .LINE SUIT IS AGAIN REVIVED’ , Timothy Haley has brought suit for injunction .against Gilbert C.

The member* of council have had all sorts of trouble with the ditch m ques­ tion and have been threatened with a damage suit. , The state board of health also has a hand in the affair, complaints having been made'there by property owners. The village tax­ payer* are the people council is pro­ tecting from any damages being placed against ,the village, . ; When the school, hoard asked for permission to tap the village statin sewer council hesitated and debated the question for some time, .knowing that the present sewer at the outlet was not large enough to carry what water was coming into it. Knowing that the cost to the tillage had been great in blasting through' several Squares of solid rock to get the sewer down council gave the school hoard the connection to Bave them this cost and to keep from tearing up the streets. When the grant was made it was to be understood that no con­ nections were to be made by anyone and that nothing but drainage for the school cellar and from the roof was to enter. Mr, Hartman not being present was Sent for and presented his side of the case. When asked why he had .pro­ ceeded to fill the trench after prom­ ising not to, said that he understood that he Would be held liable’ if it was left open. ,Also admitted that he had done wrong in opening the street without a.permit but did so on author* itv of the school board. Mr, Hartman inferred tliat council was trying to reach the school board over his shoul­ ders and then the hair raised on every member’s head and words were words about that time with Mayor McFar­ land demanding order. The Mayor no­ tified Mr. Hartman that he was guilty of Violating a village ordinance and liable to a heavy fine. Council members claimed to have information that the school board and Mr, Hartman had everything planned for when the tile were laid a special section called a “Y ” had been placed in the line at appoint opposite Mr, Hartman?-? property.
