Peggy Fisher of Myrtle Village Civic Association met with County Commissioners Robert South and Harry Cornett to advance a solution to surface water drainage in the subdivision. She said Deerfield Township trustees and Warren County Health Board had committed their departments to help, with Assistant County Engineer Art Easton involved.
Residents of Myrtle Village push for relief from chronic flooding caused by two clogged drainage ditches. They propose a three way funding split with the township and county, totaling about 30 000 dollars, pending County Engineer approval and county prosecutor review.

Ohio public education property taxes rose sharply in 1969 with a total levy of 1.14 billion dollars, up 12 percent or 137 million from 1968. The Public Expenditure Council report notes the prior peak increase was 104 million in 1967, while local boards debated whether to reorganize counties or join a regional high school project near Dayton.
Black told Preble County officials the March meetings are needed to hit the state deadline. State leaders fear districts elsewhere may miss the date. Preble County’s five high schools enroll 2,836 students in grades 9–12, with 1,269 juniors and seniors. He could not say how many will attend the vocational school. Black distributed 30 data sheets to educators to forecast 1974 enrollments for the planned school opening.
