Army mulls early use of Caesars Creek dam to curb floods
The US Army Corps of Engineers considers using Caesars Creek reservoir early in spring flood risk along the Little Miami River in Warren County Ohio. Area resource manager William Ripley notes no direct order yet and says gates would stay closed until timber clearance is completed. Flood control could inundate part of Ohio 73 under relocation plans while lowering water in Morrow and South Lebanon areas.

The high school and Berry Middle School will receive only 20 percent of their gas allotment, with three elementary schools at 70 percent.

Rent free city depot site for Franklin City Cab approved
Franklin City Cab will operate from the Scout Hut on a rent free trial through May 15 to help the service stay in business. City Manager Bernard Eichholz said Armstrong must find new quarters by midmonth. The arrangement incurs an estimated $1,200 to $1,500 annual loss to the business and is backed by the Downtown Development Committee and Franklin Area Chamber of Commerce which is paying Armstrong’s insurance. The council voted 5 to 1 with one member absent. Harold Callahan dissented. The Hut houses Boy Scouts and other groups, prompting deferral calls until Scout leaders are consulted.
