Grant study assignments made in Dover By KAY WILLIAMS Dover council committees Monday night were given specific assignments in connection with proposals to spend the city's Community Development Act block grant, and some steps were taken to begin putting the money to use. Council President Robert Schrock made 16 separate assignments, requesting study and recommendations from the council members. "The matter now is in your hands, "he said. Council also spent a portion of the $968,000 grant which received official federal approval last week, by appropriating $45,000 as part of the cost of the fire station portion of a proposed additional city building. Bids for the new building, to house administrative offices and the fire station addition, totaled more than the previous $155,000 appropriation from the federal revenue sharing fund.

Among Schrock's assignments was a proposed $210,000 appropriation for a new storm sewer along Wills av. and S. Tuscarawasav. The lack of adequate storm sewers in the area, as evidenced by high water in Saturday night's rains, brought several residents of the neighborhood to the meeting, to ask for action. SCHROCK'S COMMUNITY development assignments were: Building committee (Jerry Dupler, chairman) 4th st.

overpass costs, demolition of vandalized and vacant buildings home repair clinic $2000. Utility committee (William English, chairman) Engineering plans for storm sewers and Goettge Run and Dry Hollow improvements storm sewer construction $210,000, and downtown utility installation $80,000. Safety committee (Loren Wallace, chairman) Fire station expansion $56,000. Parks and recreation committee Ball, chairman) City park improvements $50,000, and neighborhood parks $20,000. Community development committee (Ball) Memorial Hall renovations $67,000, and public square improvements $46,000.

Service committee (William Waldick, chairman) Public transit for the elderly $11,500. Finance committee (James Arter, chairman) Development costs of bus service $1500; technical assistance to downtown property owners $20,000, and administration of continuing development program $30,000. Zoning committee (Art Teynor, chairman) Expansion of systematic code enforcement. IN CONJUNCTION with the planning assignments, council accepted the recommendation of the utility committee to have legislation prepared for engineering plans for the extension of utility lines to service properties owned by Harry Giltzof Massillonand Buehler's Market. The lines are needed for construction of a shopping area and expansion of the supermarket.

English requested a $2000 planning appropriation from the community development block grant. Light purchase, alley vacation approved Mayor Guy M. Smith, in his report, stated attempts also were being made to discuss community development plans with representatives of council, the administration, the Tuscarawas County Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Merchants, and the Citizens Advisory Committee which helped establish priorities for the grant application. THE WILLS. AV.

area residents who attended the session were backed up by Service Director Jack Marshall, who had viewed the area Saturday night and urged council to take prompt action on the new storm sewer. "Unless you were there, you just can't visualize what James st. and Wills av. were like, "he said. Mrs.

Jean Magnacca of 414 Wills av. said she had been told months ago that engineering studies would begin and she asked; "When will you begin?" It was pointed out that the topography of the area causes additional runoffs from recent blacktopping at businesses, McDonald's asks city services to locate in Dover The "golden arches" may be coming to Dover. They may, that is, if the land on which the McDonald hamburger chain wants to build a new outlet is annexed to the city. Representatives of the company attended Dover council meeting Monday to ask if some definite assurance could be given that either the property would be annexed, or that city utilities could be provided. The proposed site is just outside the corporation limit near the 1-77 interchange, at N.

Tuscarawas and Davis st. Company officials said it was important that they begin construction by July 15 to avoid the East Ohio Gas Co. moratorium against new accounts. Annexation proceedings require approval by the county commissioners, the city planning commission and city council, which include required waiting periods and public hearings. Council set a hearing on the request for July 7, prior to a regularly scheduled council meeting and Solicitor John Woodard urged the company to begin other legal proceedings.

Construction could begin before the annexation is completed, but McDonald's desires assurance of utility lines, particularly sewer lines. Councilman William English said that some businesses outside the corporation are connected with city utilities, but Woodard said the ordinances would require further checking. Councilman Loren Wallace told the representatives he felt council would be cooperative in the matter. One objection, however, was raised by a member of the public, Hal Watson of 601 N. Wooster who expressed strong disapproval of "special favors" to businesses.

Watson registered a complaint about a building permit issued to Home Engineering Co. of 609 N. Wooster to erect a storage building on the property. The permit, he said, was issued by former service director Arthur Hanni and John Gephart, building inspector. He said the building was a detriment to neighboring properties because of unsightly conditions.

Calling McDonald's a "gigantic corporation," Watson said he was amazed at the firm's request for a special favor. "Some permits take away the rights of others," he said. United Way abandoning rental plan Prospects for renting a building to house agencies supported by the United Way of Tuscarawas County are "dead, according to Paul Wood, United Way consultant. Representatives of some 20 agencies had been asked at a May 20 meeting to see whether their boards would support renting a facility for three years while a committee studied the idea of building a structure for agency offices. They were report findings to Wood by Sunday.

"We will see what can be done in the long run," he said in announcing that United Way was "off the subject of rental." Wood noted that the Tuscarawas County Red Cross had leased another building in New Philadelphia, where it is vacating its office on Fair av. NE. Personal and Family Counseling Service olans to remain in its present location in Dover, he said. United Way and the United Health Foundation will continue to share offices in the Tuscarawas County Chamber of Commerce's building in jjlew million bond issue In legislative action Monday night, Dover council passed two ordinances, held two for further readings and accepted several recommendations. Among recommendations accepted was one including requests from the finance committee to have legislation prepared to sell bonds totaling $1 million for electric fund expenditures.

It was prepared by Committee Chairman James Arter, who was out of town, and presented by Councilman William English. The largest portion of the money, $600,000, would be used to pay off notes taken out a year ago for the tie-in with Frontier Power Co. for standby power and for line distribution improvements. The notes are due for payment this summer. The remaining money would go for a possible $300,000 particulate collector for the light plant smokestack, an anticipated requirement of the Environmental Protective Agency, and for $100,000 in future plant and line improvements.

According to Arter's report, the $400,000 for these two items would be used only when needed. PASSED BY all six members present were ordinances to advertise for bids and contract for purchase of two replacement traffic lights at S. Wooster and Oxford st. and at Iron av. and Prospect and the vacation of an unnamed alley behind Oak st.

The new traffic lights required an appropriation of $11,500. The vacated alley is in the Dover Land and Improvement Co. addition, adjacent to land owned by Raymond Incarnate. The city will retain an easement for ingress and egress and maintenance of new and existing utility lines. An ordinance to permit left turns on light plant is proposed Iron av.

at S. Wooster av. near the fairgrounds was held for a second reading. Councilman William English, who said he would not support the legislation, recommended that council members attempt to make the turn before voting on the measure. Also held was an ordinance to accept the new 8-inch sanitary sewer line installed in the alley behind the Dover Elks Club at 215 N.

Wooster to accommodate the new addition to the club building. Cost was $4000 to the Elks Club and $1500 to the city. BOTH THE safety and finance committees recommended a change in police department personnel, asking for authorization for a new deskman, effective July 27. Hiring a new deskman also would require repealing a 1969 ordinance which specified that new deskmen should be patrolmen. Service Director Jack Marshall reported that Spring Bros, of New Philadelphia had given the city a tentative starting date of June 9 for the summer blacktopping program.

The finance committee recommended that $50,000 from the general fund be transferred to the street department as needed for the program. Council accepted two recommendations from the planning commission, presented by Mayor Guy M. Smith. They were to rezone property in the northeast section of the city from R-2 to R-4 for the proposed new Hennis Nursing Home and to proceed with participation in the federal flood insurance program. Both matters were referred to the zoning com- mittee.No action was taken on a recommendation from Solicitor John Woodard, to participate in the Tuscarawas County civil defense disaster service.

Woodard said the program would enable the city to acquire equipment and materials for the police and fire departments. Phila Rotarians honor most faithful member A program of nostalgia was presented to New Philadelphia Rotarians Monday night by George Rasche and the speaker, in turn, was surprised with the presentation of a plaque for his many years of service to theclub. Rasche, 84, joined the New Philadelphia Rotary Club on Sept. 17, 1924, and the plaque honored him for "Over half a century of perfect attendance and noteworthy achievement beyond self." The presentation was made by Robert Keatley, club president. Through the years, Rasche has made a particular project of recording the club's history and activities and his program included a slide presentation of early Rotary members and events.

Photographs of the original charter members when the club was formed on Nov. 19,1917, were shown along with letters and application blanks leading up to the charter. RASCHE'S reminiscences covered such events as the first New Philadelphia Rotary Pancake Day, banquets honoring athletic coaches, listings of service projects and parties to honor local veterans of the Civil War. Rasche has attended numerous Rotary International conventions during his long association with the organization. "I went to so many places, I can't keep track of them all," he stated.

Among them were convention sites in Mexico, Australia, Switzerland, Hawaii and Canada. "I hope to go to more of them," he commented. "I want to go to Japan and back to Australia, if the Lord is willing." Rasche is well known as a New Philadelphia businessman, having previously been associated with a wholesale meat company on Beaver av. and the Schoenbrunn Nursery. He does not consider himself retired, saying he is "busy all GEORGE RASCHE the time." He currently works part time as a "handyman." HE AND HIS WIFE, Nellie, reside at 1640 E.

High av. and Rasche also takes an interest in the accomplishments of his three sons, Dick, Dan and Dave. All have achieved master degrees in their fields and are employed out of the area. At Monday's dinner meeting in the Delphian Inn, a brief biography of the honored speaker was presented by Lester Cronin. Rasche has held all the local offices in the Rotary Club at one time or another and commenting on the organization, he said, "Rotary may not appeal to everybody, or be just right for everybody.

One of the most important things is that you have to want to give of yourself."

The TIMES-REPORTER 1 I DOVEB-NEW PHILADELPHIA, OHIO Cable TV gets okay to add 43 Tower Communications received permission Monday from the Federal Communications Commission to provide station WUAB (Channel 43) on its cable television system to subscribers in Dover, New Philadelphia and Strasburg.

Steve Swarny, manager of Tower Communications, said WUAB has been televised since Friday on a test basis over cable Channel 6. Legal transmission, however, did not begin until Monday. WUAB, an independent Cleveland station, is billed as that city's "best movie station," and also broadcasts away games of the Cleveland Cavaliers basketball team and the Crusaders hockey team. The station replaces WKBF (Channel 61) on the cable network. WKBF ceased its Cleveland operation April 24 and WUAB was to replace it the following day on the local cable network.

A delay in FCC permission to add that station, however, held up the replacement. Also added within the last year, completing the 12-channel cable system, is WOUC (Channel 44), an educational station originating from Ohio University at Athens. That station is relayed from Cambridge and is carried over cable Channel 12.

'Free' congressional mail costs taxpayers total of $37 million WASHINGTON Members of Congress are running up an average postal bill of $68,946 each this fiscal year to send newsletters, questionnaires, government publications, congratulatory messages and other such "official" mail, government figures show. The bill for this congressional mail, estimated to be nearly $37 million this fiscal year and $46 million next, is footed by the taxpayer. Much of this mail is tied to the efforts of Senate and House members to win reelection.

Members of Congress use their free- mailing privilege, called the franking privilege, for such bona fide official purposes as answering specific requests from constituents and writing to government agencies. But postal officials say the vast bulk of franked mail is sent in mass mailings to constituents.
