Lorain County Human Services reports 1984 welfare costs rose to 78.7 million despite fewer new cases. Total cases climbed to 12,143 from 11,796 in 1983 while annual new cases fell to 347. Medical care remains a major expense at 33 million.
IRS official Rollie Woods says August 15 remains the automatic extension deadline for those using Form 4868. Some Chronicle-Telegram staffers benefited from the move by itemizing and boosting refunds, though processing times can add eight to ten weeks. For further extension beyond August, applicants must file Form 2688 with reasons and time needed, and approval may take up to three weeks.
Former law director Jeff Manning urged the North Ridgeville City Council to form a special committee to press state officials for a $40 million north south highway linking Route 2 at Middle Ridge Road to I 480 via Carlisle Township and North Ridgeville. He warned county officials favor Lorain and Elyria interests. The project would create a feeder route to I 71, spur commercial growth, and affect residential areas. Studies exist and some right of way is acquired. Elyria council will meet Wednesday to discuss a police contract with the Patrolmen’s Association.
Elyria residents are urged to pressure government leaders to clean the old Republic Steel quarry off West River Road. John O Connor of the National Campaign Against Toxic Hazards cites EPA capability but says political hurdles stall cleanup and a stronger Superfund bill is needed to force action on the 814 worst sites nationwide.
Ramon A. Rounds, principal of Keystone High School for two years, is named superintendent of the Keystone district succeeding Michael S. Richardson who left for Jackson Ohio.
