City officials have received a lot of telephone calls about arrangements for the super sale, but it's not yet known how many people will participate, according to City Manager Mel Ruder. The best way to find the sales, Ruder said, is to enter the city on Ohio 73 and then drive up and down the streets. "I'm sure garage sale lovers will be able to browse to their heart's content," he said.

He received a telephone call from a citizen asking when he could set up a stand on the bank parking lot.

"We realize there could be some abuse, but we don't know what to expect," he said. Ruder said chamber officials will be reviewing the city-wide sale afterward to determine if it will be held in the future and what features could be added.

There will be plenty of opportunities to reaffirm the value of used goods in Trenton over the weekend. The project aims at generating community spirit. Individual homeowners, groups and merchants are planning their own sales at various locations.

The officers are covered by liability insurance which will be used to pay the settlement, spokesman Bruce Stoecklin said. The money will go directly to the company, not to stockholders.

The suits, later combined, sought $1.4 billion, the difference between how much Zimmer was expected to cost and the $1.7 billion plant in Moscow, Clermont County, actually cost.

MANN, WHO originally requested that the file be made public, asked the city solicitor to determine if the city had a legal right to the file.

He also threatened to use the power of subpoena to acquire the documents. "I don't know where to place the blame," said Councilwoman Sally Fellerhoff, "but it Is quite a mystery as to what and why." Councilman J. Kenneth Black-well, who last January cast the lone vote against using the power of eminent domain to appropriate property for the development, said it is time for council to reconsider. Council voted 8-1 in favor of eminent domain. "It seems to me that the council puts Itself at great risk," he said, unless it backs away from using eminent domain.

BLACKWELL SAID Fountain Square West Associates, a Joint venture bidding on the project and owner of' the Elder-Beerman site, ought to be given a chance to present its plans to council without the burden of competition with other prospective developers. Four proposals for development of the block were unveiled Monday after Fountain Square West Associates filed suit In Hamilton County Common Pleas Court objecting to a closed-bidding procedure.

BY JOHN ECKBERG The Cincinnati Enquirer A Hamilton County Grand Jury is investigating allegations that files connected to a multi-million dollar development on Fountain Square were criminally removed from Cincinnati Business Committee offices. In a letter addressed to Cincinnati City Manager Sylvester Murray, William Tillinghast, co-chairman of the influential business committee, said the group was unable to deliver the documents to Council as requested. "The materials contained in the file are the subject of an ongoing criminal investigation by the Hamilton County prosecutor, the full scope of which is unknown," Tillinghast said. HAMILTON COUNTY Prosecutor Arthur Ney refused to tell Murray if there was an ongoing investigation. "He stated he could not even discuss what is before the grand Jury," Murray said.

"I feel certain from personal knowledge that the CBC file theft case is actually before the grand jury now," Murray said. An official for the John W. Galbreath Co. one of the firms bidding for development rights to Fountain Square West admitted last week that a former employee recently turned In photocopied CBC documents and then resigned. Ronald Roberts, Cincinnati Business Committee executive director, has refused to return phone calls about the incident and could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
