City council considers sewer rental rate changes in 1957 plan
The council late Thursday reviewed a proposed revision by Otto Tucker and others to set sewer charges for 1957. It would cut minimum water use from 12 000 to 10 000 gallons while raising the minimum charge from $8 to $9. A flat $21 rate for new construction based on 30 000 gallons was discussed, with adjustments for lower readings in subsequent years. The session also ordered emergency exterior repairs to City Building, addressed a forthcoming work permit ordinance, and reviewed fire department quarters expansion and recreation salaries.

Liquor Chief Ready to Clean Out Pinballs
Ohio Liquor Director William C. Bryant gains leverage from two court rulings that pinball machines on tavern premises are gambling devices under the anti-slot law. The Ohio Supreme Court already ruled free games qualify as gambling. the Second District Court of Appeals sent a permit-suspension case back for action, upholding the board’s power to bar gambling and suspend licenses. The roadblock remains the earlier injunction barring liquor agents from confiscating pinball machines.
