Conservancy Study Finds Twin Creek Flood Plan Too Costly
Miami Conservancy District officials and Warren County commissioners concluded that complete flood protection for the Twin Creek area is not economically feasible. A preliminary cost study pegged total costs at 434000 with only 77740 to be borne by benefiting property owners, leaving 356250 to federal aid and county funds, which officials said the county could not support.

Annexation Leaders Debate Points In Community Letter
Seven area annexation chairmen disputed claims from a protest meeting at the Mayfield fire house. A rebuttal letter mailed to 2,200 resident freeholders argues annexation aims to bring industrial land into the city for services to new industries and cites unemployment figures from the Ohio State Employment Service. The letter criticizes tax-rate increases, reevaluations, and urges clear assessment methods, noting a 1965 reappraisal, while asserting sewer projects will proceed with or without annexation and a potential Mayfield Fire Department contract. It alleges confusion over utility rates and cites specific water and electricity savings for local leaders. The chairmen listed include Mansford White, Dave Lamphier, Fred Stein Jr., Ernest Di Lorenzo, Joe Atkinson, James Mills, and Don Daly.
