An Analysis City by Jack Brown reports Norwalk officials host a meeting on the cost of closing the power plant while keeping the distribution system. The move comes amid petitions to sell the electric system as supporters and opponents gear up for a potential ballot battle. The 1970 campaign framed the issue as a money maker with lower rates.
Delbert R. Patrick filed his petition for re election as Townsend Township trustee, reported by the Board of Elections. The city weighs strategies on power sales and debt, with plans to phase out the power plant and shift to Ohio Edison, aiming to save the distribution system.
Mayor Harold E. Finch stated no suspension was issued for George Kirbawy, 27 Marian Dr., who faced a $50 fine and costs in Mayor's Court for violating the city junk ordinance by keeping junk cars in his driveway.
Norwalk weighs its power plant's fate as a cost study looms next month. Krogh cites improved efficiency after linking with Ohio Edison but savings remain unclear. City officials oppose another sale campaign, while councilman Cunningham argues retaining control preserves lower rates. Residents split with calls for citizen study and lingering tax-revenue debates.
John H. Sickinger of Norwalk was awarded $3,000 in damages by a jury in Common Pleas Court. The 1968 collision at Ohio 18 and Hartland Center Road involved Mrs. Lester Griffin of Louisville, Kentucky, who admitted negligence.
