Amherst to Run Power Plant on Steam Instead of Diesel
Amherst municipal light plant faces a shift from diesel to steam power if WPA officials approve revised plans. A special committee meeting authorized Mayor C. E. Cooper to seek a Washington conference with WPA officials. WPA rejected an amendatory change and asked for new plans to be reviewed by the American Society of Chemical Engineering before joint submission with the old plans. The group, including Mayor Cooper, Councilman Kane, Sam Wragg, and Attorney Ray O'Donnell, traveled to Washington with officials.

County Missed $50,000 State Relief Due To Early Notes
Lorain County commissioners learned in Columbus they could have received about $50,000 more from the state if they had not issued all of their $151,600 relief notes early in the year. Welfare Director Charles Sherwood said half of the notes ($75,500) would have unlocked an equal state match, but the old relief law expired July 1. The board planned to decide this afternoon whether relief stays with the county or returns to Elyria and Lorain. Sherwood noted counties may issue notes against delinquent taxes or borrow from road funds to cover shortfalls.
