FRIDAY, JAN. 16, 1942 TRI-COUNTY HERALD PAGE 7 Community Problems Discussed The Osborn-Fairfield Commer­ cial Club met on Tuesday eve­ ning, January 13, at the Palm Res­ taurant, Osborn, with President David B. Mayer presiding. Minutes of the previous meet­ ing were x%ad by the Secretary, Walter.M. Moore. A bill for the Christmas jree or the site of the old band-stand, at the intersection of Central Ave and Main St., was ordered paid also other''bills..£or electrical sup­ plies used for Christmas decora­ tion on Main Street. Robert E. Crone, Mayor of Os­ born, advised that there had been several arrests, since the first of the' year, mostly for traffic vio­ lations, such as crashing the traffic lights, speeding, in front of the school-house, failure to heed the stop signs when approaching a highway, etc. The Mayor urges the cooperation of all citizens in the observance of traffic regula­ tions. Morris D. Rice, who was -present as an observer at the re­ cent session of the Mayor’s court, commented favorably on the or­ derly procedure in the court. The eight persons who had been ar­ rested all admitted that they had violated traffic laws. Mayor Crone spoke of the fre­ quent traffic jams at the railway crossing near - the Osborn Coop­ erative Grain Co. At 4:30 in the afternoon a railway train some­ times delays 100 or more automo­ biles for a considerable period. Mr. Rice advised that the law reads that no 'train shall obstruct a crossing for more than 5 min­ utes. It was. decided to writer ,to the officials of the Big Four and Erie Railways, inviting this matter to their attention. The club then took up the sub­ ject of Federal Aid for enlarge­ ment of the sewage disposal plant, extension bf the sewer system, and extension of the water supply system. As previously stated in the Tri-County Herald, the sewer and sewage disposal extensions Will cost an amount estimated at $114,930, of which the Federal Works Agency will contribute $65,-. 510, leaving $49,420 to be con­ tributed .locally. Such a large sum as $49,420 cannot be obtained im­ mediately, by taxation, bonds or any other means. If the Federal Works Agency desires to build 500 new homes (or any other number) or to bring in a large number of trailers, for the use of defense workers, it should, in the opinion of the ciub, pay for sewer facili­ ties, as tlu&e villages cannot fur­ nish them at once. A somewhat smaller amount would be needed for an increased water supply. With, insufficient water and aewer systems, the health of de­ fense workers, who would move here, would be menaced. The Osborn-Fairfield Commer­ cial Club went on record as ap­ proving the action of the Osborn Council regarding sewage disposal system enlargement; and it was suggested that it might be desir­ able for representatives of the two villages to go to Washington, and present the case, in person, to the proper officials. The meeting adjourned until the second Tuesday in February.
