Under the plan, the block grant money would be used for: Scott St. improvements including paving, sidewalks, curbs and waterlines at a cost of $163,000.

Target areas for these residential improvements are Scott, John, North and East Main Sts. and Bauer Ave. People in these areas will receive first priority, but the city is not ruling out grants to persons needing help in other areas. Rehabilitation loans at a maximum of 3 percent. Zara said these would be for people who might be eligible for grants, but where work would cost more than the $6,000.

He added city officials still must work out arrangements with financial institutions. The city would set aside $100,000 for loans. Environmental review of the fourth-year plan (the current one) and preparation of a fifth-year plan at an estimated cost of $20,600. Administration and contingencies would take up the remainder of the grant moneys. Zara said the city will also put in its bid for a slice of the state's pie to the tune of $750,000.

If secured from Ohio, this money would be used for eastside community development and more rehabilitation loans and grants. Council learned it might also have to pay out some money to get the municipal swimming pool in running operation this summer. Councilman Richard James questioned a recent statement by a park board member that the pool would not open this year. He said he has had numerous questions about the problem. Mayor Robert Hoffman there is a leak in the pool and that although city officials were aware of it last fall, bad weather set in before the situation could be evaluated.

Fox, superintendent of the Mansfield City Schools, yesterday announced the dates of four community hearings on the plans for revamping the city school district. the first community meeting is set for Monday, March 20, at Newman Elementary School. The second meeting is set for Tuesday, March 21, at Prospect Elementary School. Woodland Elementary School will be the site of the third community hearing on Tuesday, March 28, and the fourth hearing will be held at Koseland Elementary School on Wednesday, March 29. All meetings will begin at 7:30 p.m.

Two main committees, made up of citizens as well as school people, are presently finishing up their proposals for reorganization of the city school system. Their plans are to be presented to school administrators this week. The reports and recommendations will be presented to the Mansfield Board of Education and the public next Wednesday, March 15, at the regular monthly school board meeting. The school board will meet in special session the following day at 7:30 p.m. with members of the reorganization and design committees as well as members of the school facilities committee.

The purpose of the special meeting will be to prepare the format for presentation of the revamp plans at the public hearings. Airsg) Mgp3SaD tort $70,000. Zara said the city would set this much aside and added Crestline's share of the project is 10 percent. Downtown urban renewal area street improvements and landscaping at an estimated cost of $102,000. According to Zara, if the city is lucky and bids come in low, remaining money could be used in other areas scheduled for improvements.

Housing rehabilitation grants to the tune of $270,000, with low income and elderly residents the target of the grants. Zara said individual grants are Fox emphasized new district lines will not be prepared before the public hearings. Redisricting within the system may be done after the board decides what action to take regarding reorganization. The board will make that decision following the public hearings in order to first hear reactions and ideas from the community on the revamp plans. The school board decision on reorganization will be made at a special meeting, April 6.

The reorganization and design committee has been examining the present kindergarten-through-grade-12 structure and looking at what changes might be made to best meet the needs of present and future students. This committee is considering a middle school system which could have kindergartners through fifth graders in the elementary buildings, sixth through eighth graders in the present junior highs and grades nine through 12 in the two high school buildings. This design committee is also looking at the possibility of returning the district to a one-high-school concept, perhaps with grades nine and 10 in one of the high school buildings and grades 11 and 12 in the other high school. The second committee is investigating and making recommendations regarding the use of school facilities to meet the organizational structure suggested by the first committee. elude an additional police department line.

The new system also includes a multiline conference feature which could be used during states of emergency such as the January blizzard. Mayor Shilling appointed Mike Paul-lin to the village park board, with council confirming the appointment. Sgt. Robert Curry, village representative in meetings with the federal government to recover blizzard-incurred expenses, reported the village will receive $1,990, which is 75 percent of the cost of hiring outside contractors for snow removal. Councilman James Brewer asked if there is any federal program that could help in recovering overtime expenses incurred during the blizzard.

The village paid about $14,000 in overtime during that emergency period but as yet hasn't heard of any program subsidizing wage losses. Councilman James Schrack reported installation of a generator system in the municipal building will be completed this weekend, except for inclusion of a natural gas conversion unit.

captain said more creative methods are needed to train people to get them off welfare rolls. The third contender, Robert S. Bush, stated he was the only one of the trio with any experience in government. A worker for officeholders such as gubernatorial candidate Charles Kurfess and State Rep. Harry Turner, Bush said he is familiar with the inner workings of government.

"We in this district don't have a leader at this time that will go out and make the people's voice heard," said the grandson of the late Paul Bush, former Mansfield mayor. He said another duty of a legislator is getting the people he represents to participate in government. Bush Is the only Republican candidate to have filed his petitions with the board of elections. "We have no idea what damage has been done or where the leak is," Hoffman said, adding the extent of the problem won't be known until the weather breaks. The mayor said the cost of repairs may mean the pool will not open.

Council authorized the payment of $1,000 each to the Crawford County Council of Alcohol and Drug Abuse and the Crawford County Council on Aging. First National Bank of Mansfield is planning an expansion of its drive-in facilities at its Crestline office, and asked council last night to consider vacating two dedicated alleys. E. Dean Wolford, bank vice president, said the bank is planning to spend $100,000 to open more drive-in lanes, and equipment for the expansions will cost in excess of $60,000. The new facilities will be located on the east side of the bank.

The matter was referred to the planning commission for study and recommendation to council. Council received a letter from Columbia Gas Co. of Ohio announcing a 12.49 percent per 1,000 cubic feet of gas increase, to be tacked on to the March 31 bill. The company said the increase reflects the higher cost of purchasing natural gas and higher Ohio excise taxes. Council went on record objecting to the increase and will send a letter to the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio informing that body of the objection.

Council members also went on record officially opposing the closing the Mansfield weather station at Mansfield-Lahm Airport. Copies of the statement will be sent to Ohio's congressional delegation and other officials in Washington D.C.

new tax A good LOUDONVILLE Village council again authorized drafting of specifications for bids on a new North Wood St. bridge over the Conrail tracks, at its meeting Monday night. Council initially authorized preparing specifications at its Feb. 20 meeting but balked when it learned later the engineering firm of Karl Rohrer and Associates of Akron would charge between $8,500 and $10,000 for the work. Mayor Mel Shilling told the solons last night Rohrer had revised that figure to $5,000.

Council authorized the firm to proceed with the preparation. The mayor and Rohrer officials already have met with the state department of transportation regarding obtaining partial funding for the project, but Shilling said the meeting was unproductive. Rohrer gave the preliminary estimate as $102,000 for the project. That would be for a welded-truss-type bridge to replace the existing 1911 structure, which was closed for safety reasons in April 1975. Conrail said it would contribute $15,000 towards the project if the village pays the remainder.

Its contribution is conditional and will be put forward if the village closes the little-used North Adams St. rail crossing. Depending on favorable bidding and financing, the project could begin in June. In other action: Council contracted with General Telephone Co. for a new six-line telephone system for the municipal building at a cost of $53.40 per month for equipment, plus $117 per month for regular service.

The service charge is $1 less than the village pays now and will in- Michigan man dies in crash SYLVAN I A (UPI) An Adrian, man died in a car-bus accident just south of the Sylvania city limits, near Toledo.

Sherrod Brown could be in for some interesting competition this November if the spirit displayed at yesterday's first meeting of his Republican challengers maintains its fervor. Brown was the target of several barbs tossed by the three hopefuls in the June primary. The winner of the preliminary tussle faces the incumbent for the 61st District seat. "Brown is the A-Number 1 liberal in the House," said John Buker. "He leads the charge in Columbus against everything we stand for." The son of a Mansfield dentist said he is against government controlling everything.

The answer to changing things is to develop pride at home. "Here we are, a lot of grownups bickering about things, yet a 13-year-old Boy' Scout comes out and solves a problem. Is there any better example of a strong, positive attitude?" the candidate said. Buker was referring to Boy Scout Doug Doss who volunteered his Lexington troop to build and erect snow fence to alleviate drifting along Ohio 13. The offer was revealed in Sunday's News Journal.

Buker, 25, said he is for reduced government controls, less bureaucracy and less government spending. He lives at 182 Poplar St. Another candidate, C. David Robinson, 129 Reba likened his stance to that of U.S. Rep, John Ashbrook.
