High Court Upholds Piqua Bond Issue for Light Plant
The Ohio Supreme Court refused to review a Miami County Appeals Court ruling upholding Piqua’s 810000 bond issue for a municipal electric light plant and distribution system. The decision endorsed bonds approved in 1931, while challengers argued the notes would exceed legal debt limits and questioned the bond purpose.

State subsidy cuts eyed for crippled and deaf classes
The article notes a proposed one third reduction in per pupil costs, with the state covering excess costs for the McKinley School crippled class and Franklin School deaf class. Gates Hospital for Crippled Children remains state funded for out of town pupils, and net differences next year are expected under $300. Local tuition for out of town deaf pupils helps keep local costs down, and board members favor continuing the program if increased cost stays within limits.

Historic Confederate Cemetery Transferred to Federal Gov
The Johnson Island cemetery, where 604 Confederate officers died as POWs, becomes federal property. The Daughters of the Confederacy had held it since 1905 after purchasing for $1, with the transfer formalized in Cincinnati. Captain McGrath represented the government, while surviving charter members approved the deed. The island’s lone population is a farmer family, with a single remaining building used as a stall.
