City's new waste water treatment plant indebted to Archimedes invention BILL REYNOLDS, left, construction foreman for Gibbons Grable contractors and Robert Bush- By MARY WALLACE Massillon's new waste water treatment plant, now about one fourth completed, will combine the latest in modern equipment with an adaptation of a pumping principle developed more than 2,185 years ago. Three pairs of spiral-shaped pumps, an outgrowth of the Archimedes screw machine invented between 287 and 212 B.C., will be used to raise the waste water for treatment In the new $9 million plant.

Archimedes, a Greek mathematician and inventor, is credited with inventing the screw pump for King Hiero of Sicily to enable him to pump water from the hold of his ships. nfT pump." Six of the huge pumps will be installed in the new plant, with one of each pair being used as a backup or reserve unit The First pair will raise waste water 20 feet where it will undergo various stages of primary treatment The final two pairs will be used together to raise the primary-treated water another 52 feet where it will undergo secondary treatment before washing by gravity into the Tuscarawas River. The pumps will have a capacity of 16,450 gallons a minute, or million gallons a day. Two sets of pumps will utilize 150-horsepower motors and the third raises the water 30 feet will use 200- horsepower motors. The Archimedes principle incline pumps will replace modern, conventional-type pumps.

A loaded revolver and an 18-inch club were found in the car, and as police were placing the juvenile into the Shah (Continued from Page One) a posted price of $10 a barrel for oil, a reduction of about $1.65 from current levels. The posted price is that set by the oil states as a base for taxation of the oil companies. It was not immediately known how much influence the Iranian leader wiD have on the other members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries.

U. S. sources said that Kissinger had hoped during his visit to Tehran to enlist the shah's support in pressing for lower oil prices. They had said that if the shah and King Faisal of Saudi Arabia together pushed for the reductions, other OPEC countries might go along. INFORMED SOURCES in Tehran said earlier in the day they expect oil prices to stay as they are, or possibly be increased by 30 to 40 cents a barrel in December.

At his news conference, the shah said he stood firm with his contention that oil prices should be linked to the prices of a cross-section of industrial products. "Once you do this," he said producing and consuming nations "will have the same destiny." The shah said even if the posted price is reduced to $10 a barrel, he does not expect it to lower the cost of ofl to the American consumer unless the profits of oil companies are held to a fixed level. He suggested 50 cents a barrel profit for the companies as a fair return, in contrast to as much as $2 a barrel now. "Why should they make $2 on one barrel? Why should they make 700 per cent Is that fair?" he asked. Before the shah's announcement the prospects of a lowering of oil prices appeared to dim.

U. S. officials in Tehran had privately said they saw no signs of a joint effort by the shah and Saudi Arabia to push for lower prices. cruiser, moans were heard from the auto. They opened the trunk and found Means covered with blood, apparently just regaining consciousness, polioe said.

Means was removed from the trunk but refused to be taken to a hospital and was taken to police headquarters instead. About 90 minutes later Means fainted and was taken to Doctors Hospital by Ambulance Service. CANTON POLICE reported this morning that the driver of the car, also a juvenile, had been captured and was being questioned shortly before noon. A third juvenile may also have been involved, police said. Means was questioned by Canton police at the hospital and told them he had stopped his car at a traffic light at 4th st and McKinley ave NW in Canton when someone opened the car door and struck him on the head.

That was shortly after midnight, Means told police, and he said all he remembered after that was looking up at the Perry police officer who opened the trunk. His injuries included fractured ribs, nose and jaw and multiple contusions and abrasions, police said. The juvenile apprehended by Perry police has been charged with carrying a concealed weapon and was being held today at the Stark County Juvenile Attention Center. Further charges may be filed by Canton police when the investigation is completed.

Smokers (Continued from Page One) smoking in supermarkets, elevators, college classrooms and certain recreational facilities. He told reporters that if shoppers found smokers in supermarkets they should call his office and an Inspector would talk with the manager. "In a sense the managers are deputized by the department to enforce the law," Bellin said. BELLIN ALSO assured apartment building owners that if tenants insist on smoking in elevators, his department will dispatch an inspector. Better public health will be the big benefit of the new law, he said, reminding his listeners that two out of three persons don't smoke.

ask, the Gilligan-Rhodes battle for the statehouse is rated as "very close" or with Gilligan as a favorite. The polls are unanimous, however, in making John Glenn an odds-on favorite to win the U.S. Senate seat now held by Howard Metzenbaum over Cleveland Mayor Ralph Perk, the Republican standard bearer. Locally, the 29th District Ohio Senate race between incumbent Republican Richard G. Reichel and Stark County Commissioner Robert Freeman, has drawn interest statewide.

REPUBLICANS now control the Ohio Senate by a one-seat edge, and if one seat is lost by the GOP it would give Democrats control of both houses in the legislature, a condition which could give Gov. Gilligan a freer rein if he should win a new term. Stark County will have a new commissioner as a result of the election. Incumbent Freeman is seeking the Senate post instead of a new term. Vying for the commissioner's post are Virgfl L.

Mosser, Massillon city solicitor, and Dr. Harry J. Guist, a veteran Canton city councilman. Stark County also will have a new auditor since Joe Yoder is retiring. Yoder served as campaign manager for William B.

Bowman, who is now his chief deputy. Herman Rossetti is the Democratic nominee. Judge Norman J. Putman of the Ohio Fifth District Court of Appeals which includes Stark among 10 counties, is in an enviable position for a candidate: He is assured of reelection since he has no opposition. STARK COUNTY'S delegation to the state legislature also will have at least one new face as a result of the voting.

Robert E. Levitt of the 70th District, which includes North Canton and parts of Stark and four other counties, did not seek re-election. Republican North Canton Mayor David Johnson and Democrat Richard B. Green are seeking the post. Massillon voters, along with other Ohioans, will vote on races for chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court and two other justice seats, along with three proposed amendments to the Ohio Constitution.

Incumbent Chief Justice C. William O'Neill is challenged by Joseph E. O'NelH of Youngstown in his try for a new term. Incumbents Frank D. Celebrezze of Cleveland and Thomas M.

Herbert of Columbus are facing challenges by Sheldon A. Taft of Bexley, son of former Chief Justice Kingsley Taft, and Clifford F. Brown of Norwalk, who is unrelated to other Browns on the ballot State Issue No. 1 would permit extension of the homestead exemption to "permanently and totally disabled residents." State Issue No. 2 would repeal a section which requires the governor to appoint a superintendent of public works.

Gov. Gilligan has already reorganized the state administration to include this department within the department of administrative services. State Issue No. 3 would add the preservation of existing jobs, the control of air, water and thermal pollution, the disposal of solid waste and construction of electric and gas utility service for pollution control as reasons for which public industrial development revenue bonds may be issues. Most area voters will receive four ballots, including the office-type or candidate ballot, the nonpartisan judicial ballot, the statewide amendment ballot and at least one ballot for a local issue.

Massillon voters will ballot on a 4-mill school levy for current expenses for a THE PRESENT treatment plant has pumping capacity of only 19 million gallons a day and averaged 10 million gallons a day during the past year, according to Robert Bushman, plant superintendent The Gibbons-Grable Co. and the A. C. Eynon Co. of Canton are the general construction contractors, having submitted a joint bid.

Ground was broken last Feb. 15 and the target date for completion is May 5, 1978. A spokesman for the contractors reported that the project is running about one per cent behind schedule. The plant will provide the secondary treatment which the predecessor to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency mandated aa needed to the Tuscarawas Sewer District, which serves MassOlon and outlying areas. Massillon's plant is one of the first in Ohio approved for 75 per cent federal funding under the Clean Water Act of 1972.

A city council sewer and waste committee was credited with foresight when it pushed through a sewer rental rate increase in 1971 which enabled the city to finance its $2 million share of the project on a pay-as- you-go basis.
