Water Scarcity Drives Ridgeville Water Debate
Ridgeville Township faces a dire water shortage as residents press Elyria and Lorain County officials to supply municipal water. Growth from 2,800 in 1949 to 4,800 in 1950 strains private wells, while county officials weigh a ten year contract with Elyria and a possible county water department to extend service beyond corporate limits.

Truman Plans New Tax Boost Despite Warnings
A source close to the Truman administration says the president will seek a new tax increase despite Congressional warnings. The State of the Union draft included a higher tax recommendation, but the final message omitted a specific proposal in favor of a general note that taxes will be needed for several years. The deficit is projected above 10 billion dollars for 1953, with spending rising due to rearmament and postwar needs. Republicans accuse the State of the Union of signaling a reelection bid with phantom programs.

Dr Tillman criticizes Ohio mental health care reform critique
Dr Paul F Tillman former Lorain County coroner and ally of Dr Baker urges an inquiry into state welfare mental health operations. He alleges patients in Ohio mental hospitals lack adequate medical care with insufficient drugs and dietary treatment. Tillman disputes hospital directors and cites records of patients dying in jails or rest homes due to neglect. He faces a 30 day suspension but plans to appeal under civil service rules. He notes doctors in Tiffin report no drug shortages. The issue centers on administration and treatment in state facilities and Tillman’s candidacy for the Lorain County coroner.
