Chautauqua Ohio detectives and state fire marshal investigators forwarded items to the BCI in London after two arson attempts at the Chautauqua Baptist Fellowship Park. A 75 000 dollar loss includes the maintenance garage office and dining hall burnt in the early morning fire. Det.

Butler County May Update Water Rules for Uniform Service
Butler County sanitary engineer James L Hinchberger urged county commissioners to revise water system rules to ensure uniform service and charges based on meter size. The five systems now differ due to financing. He proposed county installation and maintenance of all primary water meters in county owned systems. Separately, the Liberty Fairfield water system on Millikin Road opened with a $1.1 million cost, aided by a $360,000 federal grant, serving about 550 customers. County officials praised Chester Raynak as clerk departs for real estate work. The board also called for bids to resurface five miles of Cincinnati Dayton Road from Monroe to Maud.
