a a a News Messenger Friday, February 18, 1966 Township Road Funds Up; Engineer er Problem Cited County allocation for the 1966 township road programs will be increased a little over last year's allocation, trustees from 1 the 12 townships in the county were told at a meeting in Serwin's Restaurant Thursday afternoon. The meeting was preceded by a luncheon. All townships were represented. Last year the total county allocation for the townships was $121,541.75 for 441.97 miles of road. This year it will be 602.25 for 442.19 miles.

Lee Snow, chairman of the board of county commissioners, said the allowance will be $275 a mile, the same as last year, but in addition this year townships which did not spend all of their allocations 'in 1965 will be allowed to carry them over. That has not been done before. Based on 442.19 miles the $275 mileage allowance this year will run to $121,602.25. In addition to that there will be a carryover of approximately $10,000 in four townships: Riley, Sandusky, Rice and York. The bulk of the carryover will be in Sandusky, $2,800, and Riley, $5,500.

Figures Given The $275 per mile allowance for this year will balance out among the township as follows: Ballyille, 48.29 miles, Green Creek, 32.79 miles, 017.25; Jackson, 34.69 miles, 539.75; Madison, 30.86 486.50; Rice, 23.22 miles, 385.50; Riley, 4 43.35 miles, 921.25; Sandusky, 32.60 miles, Scott, 34.58 miles, 509.50; Townsend, 31.70 miles, Washington, 47.58 miles, Woodville, 39.82 miles, and York, 42.71 miles, $11,745.25. County Engineer Miles C. Newton, host at the luncheon meeting, told the trustees that the county and township road programs this year should be carried out "in the interest of need and public service." "Our problems now are not money but are engineering and time," continued the county engineer. He said his department will need time to work out road plans, and considerable work will have to be done by contract. He said he is having trouble retaining engineers on his staff, because they are getting offers at higher pay.

He indicated he will have to have more pay for his engineers if he is to retain them. Right now, he said, the Bowling Green office of the State Highway Department needs 30 engineers and it does not care much where it gets them. He said counties are 'stealing' engineers from other counties and the same thing is true with cities. Engineer Newton made a firm promise that he would get his 1966 county road program into the hands of the county commissioners not later than April News Of The Courts MARRIAGE APPLICATIONS James P.

He pointed out that many of the township programs came in late last year and it was not until early August that contracts were awarded. "That was too late a date," he said. Pledge Cooperation The trustees gave Newton a vote of confidence and promised to cooperate with him 100 per cent.

Newton said that there remain only 12 miles of mud road in the county, and "they should be converted to hard roads as soon as possible." He said another aim will be to strive to maintain a minimum of 16 feet width for roads and wider if needed. He said that 12 miles of county roads will need resurfacing year, all by contract, and miles of county roads will need widening and "that will require some engineering work." But, so far as he is concerned, the county engineer said the No. 1 problem in the county "definitely is bridges." He pointed out that there are 30 bridges in the county with load limits on them of seven tons or less. He stated they should get the first priority, and that some of them likely can be replaced by culvert pipes. "These bridges should all be replaced this year, but that is impossible and we will have to do the best we can," Newton said.

There are 112 bridges in the county posted with weight limits of 10 tons or less, he disclosed. Bridge contracts calling for 000 or more will have to be done by contract, he stated.

101 Mishap Upsets Steel TIFFIN Two coils of steel weighing a total of 50,000 pounds were dumped along the side of the road but the driver was not seriously injured when his truck flipped near here. Dale L. Gibbs, 45, 172 Nelson street, Clyde, was treated for bumps and bruises and then released early this morning at Tiffin Mercy hospital. Gibbs lost control of his truck when an approaching truck crowded the center line Friday at 6 a.m. on 1 Route 101, three miles north of Tiffin.

He told Seneca county sheriff's deputies he pulled to the right and hit the built-up berm when crowded by the approaching truck. The truck tractor was demolished when it flipped and an axle set on the trailer twisted. The driver was taken to Tiffin Mercy in the sheriff's patrol car. No charges were filed in connection with the accident, but Gibbs was cited by the deputies for driving on an expired driver's license. Alfred Sloan 90, Dies; Saw Auto Industry Growth NEW YORK (AP) In his 90 years Alfred P.

Sloan Jr. saw the automobile develop from a novelty to the industrial backbone of the nation. He was among the men who made it happen. He took the moderately successful General Motors in 1920, made it function smoother than the ball bearings he once sold, and wrought the mightiest manufacturing enterprise the world has known. When Sloan stepped down: as chairman in 1956, General tors' share of the automobile market was 52 per cent.

His formula for success was simple, "Get the facts. Recognize the equities of all concerned. Realize the necessity of doing a better job every day. Keep an open mind and work hard. The last is most important of all.

There is nO short cut." Sloan, who remained as honorary chairman, had been in excellent: health until Tuesday, when he complained of indigestion. He was taken the next day to Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. a hospital his philanthropy had established. He died at the hospital at 2:35 p.m. Thursday.

Henry Ford II, chairman of the Ford Motor said in Detroit that Sloan was "one of the small 1 handful of men who actually made automotive history." James M. Roche, president of General Motors, said, "The concepts of management which he initiated will endure." In a joint statement with Frederick D. Donner, chairman of the board, he added: "His contributions to science and education and those of the foundation that bears his name were matched only by his accomplishments in business and industry." He set up the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation in 1936 and since then he and his wife, Irene, have donated $305 million to it. One of its first major recipients was the Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research in New York, jointly with Charles F.

Kettering. Kettering had been a close friend of Sloan's and had been director of the General Motors Research Laboratory. Sloan was born in Haven, on May 23, 1875. At the James E. Lennhoff, agent for the Colvin Ambulance Service, this morning presented a proposal to the office of the county commissioners for emergency ambulance service for Ballville, Sandusky, Jackson, Washington and Rice townships.

Board Chairman Lee Snow said he assumed the proposal was filed with the commissioners for "purely informational purposes," since the commissioners have been orally advised by their legal counsel, County Prosecutor Harry W. Sargeant, that they cannot enter into any arrangement for ambulance service. He added that the proper people for Colvin to contact are the township trustees. The proposal was entitled "Contract Proposal for Emergency Ambulance Service for the following townships: Ballville, Jackson, Washington, Rice, and Sandusky as Proposed by Colvin Son Ambulance Service, 1406 Oak Harbor road." The proposal itself read: "If this proposal should 'be found to be agreeable to all parties concerned, the emergency service would begin immediately. "We offer to the named townships through the Sandusky county commissioners this proposal: That for a monthly fee of $40 or at $480 per year per township, we will provide the townships with 24 hour emergency ambulance service for a period of one year and that at the end of that time they would have the option to renew said contract for a period of five years at the mentioned rates.

"We will provide 1965 ambulance wagons with a capacity of two laydown patients per unit. Each unit will have direct radio contact with Memorial hospital and each unit shall be equipped with equipment as recommended by the American Medical Association and the American Ambulance Association. "We further propose that we will continue to operate at the rates that are now in force as of this date. And that said rates would not be raised without prior approval of township committees. We propose that we would be free to contract our services to any other townships or cities, but without a contract we would not operate in these areas.

"We also propose that any bills owing us later than 30 days may be processed through the municipal court or by a. collection agency. "'We further propose that an inspection team be appointed by the townships to inspect emergency equipment at reasonable times. "We propose to furnish qualified drivers and attendants with high standards of morals and a devotion to their duty. "This document is only to be recognized by all parties concerned as a proposal.

A legal contract would be prepared by counsel if accepted by all parties concerned." TAUKER CLAIMS A schedule of claims totaling $1,636.04 for the estate of Viola H. Taulker, late of Woodville, has been filed in probate court by Wilson H. Taulker, executor. TREASURY PAY-INS County Home Supt. Howard C.

Council Revising Sick Leave Policy City council last night adopted revisions of the city ordinance on sick leave provisions for employes to conform with the state code on the same subject. Principle change is the aquirement of up to 90 days sick i leave based on 1.25 days a month, or 15 days a year up to an accumulation of 90 days. The city ordinance formerly allowed two week sick leave a year with no accumulation over a period of years. Employes with five or more years of ser- vice were allowed one month of sick leave. age of 17 he enrolled in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and graduated in three years.

Later, he became MIT's chief benefactor. With the help of his father, a wealthy coffee: and tea importer, Sloan went to work as a draftsman at the Hyatt Roller Bearing Co. in Harrison, N.J. He soon figured he could run the business better and persuaded his father and another man to put up $5,000 for him to take control. In the first six months the business made $12,000 in profits.

But it was the automobile business that made him a millionaire. He got the manufacturers to use ball bearings instead of greased wagon axles. Within a few years General Motors was his largest customer. Later, when General Motors acquired the Hyatt company Sloan came along with it and quickly moved into the hierarchy of the company. In 1923 he succeeded Pierre S.

du Pont as president of General Motors. His wife, the former Irene Jackson, whom he married in 1898, died in 1956. They had no children. A funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday at Christ Church Methodist.

Burial will be in St. John's Cemetery, Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island. DIES Alfred P. Sloan 90, former president and chairman of General Motors died in New York today. At his death he was honorary chairman of General Motors.
