Dalton council rejects offer of flasher lights The Dalton Village Council Monday evening turned down an offer from the Ohio Highway Department to install overhead flasher lights at the intersection of U. S.

30 and Ohio 94. When the village two years ago requested such action from the department, the village was informed that no funds were available. The village then erected its own Hasher lights at the railroad site. About six weeks after their installation, the department informed the village that funds are now available. HOWEVER, the department said it would charge the village $100 a year for maintenance in addition to the cost of operation of the lights, which council feels it should not pay.

An ordinance establishing a full-time position of assistant to the water and sewer superintendent and to the street superintendent at a salary not to exceed $3.25 an hour was approved and the position will be filled shortly. Council approved an ordinance prohibiting any- further construction or remodeling to create any additional residences within the business district for a period of 90 days.

David Greegor, pastor of the newly-formed Dalton Baptist Church, that Lincolnview st tan unfinished east-west road between U.

S. 30 and alternate 30 be completed. Mr. Greegor desires to build a church there. The request was referred to the street and alley committee and the village engineer for study.

Council also: Heard a report from Clerk Tom Woodruff that the village budget has been approved by the Wayne County Budget Commission and that he has been informed that county health expense deductions will be higher next year. Learned from the Wayne County Engineering House votes to end seat'belt requirement WASHINGTON (AP) The House has voted to eliminate a government requirement that new cars must be equipped with seat-belt interlock systems on this year's models and safety air bags by 1976. The House acted Monday after congressmen said their constituents are fed up with mechanisms that require drivers to buckle up before they can start their cars. The amendment, sponsored by Rep. Louis C.

Wyman, R- N.H., would make both safety features optional rather than mandatory. MANAGERS of a new car and school bus safety bill, which passed with Wyman's amendment, said the new provision would result in no air bags. They said the bags would have to be mass-produced to carry a realistic price tag, and predicted that elimination of the mandatory regulation would make the bags an unpopular option costing around $700. The House bill still faces a test in the Senate, where opposition could kill the Wyman amendment. The schedule for Senate action is uncertain.

The amendment would give motorists a choice only of the interlock, at an extra cost, on a seat-belt harness with a dashboard warning light signal if it is not buckled.
