  The   Branch  Libraries in
several sections of the County
are provided with books from
the  Main Library in Steu-
benville. The Library budget
also provided the librarians
for the branches. A suitable
location for the branch, its
utilities and any other local
expense must be provided by-
the   community, where the
bran ch is located.
  Probably no other service
in the community provides so
much just for the asking when

week, are in the reference
room. A few current examples
from   the  best seller list
include:
  "Convention" - a novel in
  which a Presidential candidate
  runs too candid a campaign.
  This is election year and this
  book will be interesting and
  timely;
  "'Armegeddon"    by    Leon
Uris, a story of the beginnings
of the Cold War;
  "Venetian Affair" by Helen
  Macinness and "The Spy Who
  Came in from the Cold" by
John Lecarre.
  Each week there is also a
  list of  non-fiction  "best
  sellers". Many times these
  books will not be on the
  shelves because all copies
  have been loaned. However,
  you may place a reserve on
  them at the loan desk so that
  you may have a chance to
  read them later.
  Little  known  services of
  the library include:
  A "Ducostat" located in the
  lobby where you may make a
  copy of a letter. While at the
  present time Wintersville does
  not have a branch library and
you do not wish to go down to
Main   at South Fourth and
Slack Sts., there is a Hill
Top Branch located on Lawson
Ave., which    is open  five
days each week (Wed. and
Sun. omitted) from 1:00 PM-
5:00 PM and from 6:00 PM
to 8 PM.

became angry, and replied, "It's
none. of your business.''
Becker said, "The taxpayers'
ability to support even the essen-
tial and desirable projects in the
County is not unlimited; and this
deliberate misuse of taxpayers'
money as appropriated by the
County Commissioners makes
the taxpayers' task even more
difficult." He said that if such im-.
proper spending were to be halt-
ed, many vital projects such as
sewage and   water extensions
needed in the County could be ac-
complished.
He commented that not only
could these things be accomplish-
ed, but that their completion could
be substantially accelerated.
He said that this incident of the
private use of public money may
seem unimportant, but one can
wonder if this is not one of the
reasons for the many delays en-
countered in the initiation and
completion of important public
projects. One might also wonder
how many other such favors are
performed at taxpayers' expense.


Mayor Thomas Albaugh presid-
ed at the regular Council meeting
on Tuesday evening in the Muni-
cipal Building. Clerk Delbert
Vance, Treasurer Floyd Call, and
the following Council members
were present: Mrs. Eve Seiter,
F. D. Dornbusch, John Ford,
Marion Mellott and G. R. Steele.
An Ordinance regulating the
keeping of ponies in the village
was read for the third time.
Several citizens were present to
protest the passage of this legis-
lation. It was defeated unani-
mously by vote of Council.
Acting Solicitor Richard Powell
read an ordinance for appropri-
ation of property for the sewage
disposal Plant to be located south
of the Moon Valley subdivision.
This ordinance was passed as an
emergency ordinance.
An Ordinance was read for the
first time to permit leveling of
industrial, commercially zoned
territpry to make it usable.
Attorney N. Hart Cohen spoke in
explanation of this ordinance em-
phasizing that it would not apply in
residencially zoned areas. The
ordinance would also establish a
Conservation Board to control


such operations. The member-
ship of this board would be the
Mayor, Clerk and Chairman of
the Planning Commission. The
Council asked for time to study
this ordinance before voting.
  The. sewer engineer, Charles
  McJunkin, spoke briefly on pro-
gress of the sewer plans. He
was available for conference with
many property owners both be-
fore and after the meeting.
  A .letter was read from  the
.Steubenville Health Board ac-
cepting Monday, July 13th as the
time for a meeting, between of-
ficials of Steubenville and Win-
tersville regarding the water sit-
uation.
  An opportunity was given for
citizens present to ask questions
and to present problems. Discus-
sion resulted on street and park-
ing conditions in the village.
  The next regular Council meet-
ing will be on Tuesday, July 21
at 7:30 pm. At that time there
will be a vote on the Ordinance
to change the Day property on
Fernwood Road and Day Circle
from Resident A to Resident B.

William A. Becker, Republican
candidate for Jefferson County
Commissioner, today charged the
present County Administration
with flagrant misuse of taxpay-
ers' money.
He charged that County equip-
ment' and personnel at consider-
able-expense to taxpayers are
being used for private projects,
which appear to be passed out to
political favorites of the Com-
missioners' Office.
Becker said that during the fore-
noon on Friday, July 3, he along
with  other witnesses, photo-
graphed County crews at work
using County equipment, to lay
black-top on the drives and park-
ing area of a Wintersville busi-
ness establishment.
Becker said that when the work
crew observed photographs being
taken of the project, they scat-
tered for cover inside the build-
ing, and the foreman said. "I
don't want you takin' no pic-
tures." When questioned further
about the operation, the foreman
