County Planning ! The recent opposition to the platting of a new addition in rural Adams county by people who would be “down the line” on the open ditch into which sewage flows, points up the growing need for planning in Adams county, and for a master plan. The commissioners, of course, are well aware of this. Two years ago the ordinance was passed, the plan commission appointed, and work begun. Now the plan commission is in the final steps of preparing its preliminary plan. The average man in the county will soon start considering the problem. Almost any person’s first response to planning is one of anger — another infringements on individual rights, now I can’t do as I please, etc. ,etc. This is, to a degree, true. But just think. • Under county planning, orderly growth and development takes place. The choice spot that you’ve coveted for years on your farm for a nice little home or housing addition cannot be spoiled by an ugly factory, or junk yard, or garbage fill. The purpose of planning is to protect you, and everyone else. The editor well remembers when the Decatur City zoning plan was passed. As originally drawn in 1949 it included a two-mile area around Decatur. Some quite prominent people in this area were the first to read about it, react and complain. Their rights were going to be violated, it wasn’t fair, etc., etc. The city council tried to explain to them that this would protect their rights, not destroy them. But the good people didn’t see it that way. So, the area was excluded from planning. Not two years later, on land adjacent to the city, but in the rural area, some service stations started to go up. The residents were furious. This was a good residential area. Why blight it with a business? So, back up to the city council came the same good people who had opposed the two-mile plan a few years before. But they were too late. The city council was powerless to act. The area was not zoned. The county had no regulations. When the preliminary plan is presented, examine it closely. Discuss it with your neighbors. If ywi farm, it will not affect your land, as long as you use it for farming. But it will affect the land for other uses. This is a good thing. It will make your land worth more money, because those who buy it will be getting protection. They will know in advance what it, and neighboring areas, can be used for. The county planning commission will be very happy to make necessary changes in the preliminary plan. They want what is best for the development of Adams county. Suggest changes help make Adams county greater. Remember, what you leave for your grandchildren can be a well-planned growing, advancing community with a future — or it can be a back-biting, complaining, haphazard, down-hill community. It s up to y ou, the people! Editorial written by Dick Heßer

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

1 l ll l l l | B r ; 4 % A CAUSE OF IT ALL—Blocking streets, damaging property and generally letting off steam, some 5,000 Ohio State University students marched into downtown Columbus to protest the arrest of OSU coed Marjorie Cocoziello, 19, of Paterson, N.J. What did Marjorie do? She forgot to pay a jaywalking fine and spent 1% hours in jaiL Slate Appellate Court Rules On Utility Case INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The Indiana Appellate Court late Wednesday ruled in a divided opinion that “municipal utilities are not subject to the general grant of authority to the Indiana Public Service Commission.” The ruling qualified, however, by saying “certain statut/s do require the commission’s formal approval of municipal utilities’ acts.” An example of this is rate-making. The decision came in a case filed against the Citizens Gas & Coke Utility of Indianapolis by a group of Greene County landowners in the Worthington gas storage field? The utility has leases with the 10 men who filed the petition with the PSC. and who gained a ruling July 20, 1962, holding that the PSC has jurisdiction in the case. The PSC had planned to hold hearings -later on the petition. But the high court opinion appears to have blocked those plans by saying flatly that the charter authority given to municipalities under the Constitution exempts them from certain PSC regulations. The utility did not wait for the case to be concluded but appealed to the court and gained a reversal of the PSC position which apparently will have wide repercussions because of the exempt status it gives the municipl utilities. The landowners had charged that the utility had no authority to go into another county 65 miles from its service territory and begin gas service. They alleged that the leases which they signed agreed to pay them less than the full market value for natural gas and that the annual lease rental also was for less than the reasonable jliarket _yalue of the land for gas storage purposes.” The Appellate Court said that “such things as fraud and rescission of contract are proper items for the judicial branch of our government.” A majority opinion suggested the commission “may have authority to inquire into any violation of the laws of this state and? recoverany penatliesby bringing a suit in the name of the State of Indiana in the proper circuit or superior court.’’ . —7 — The PSC is. studying the opinion before deciding what next step it might take in View of the new limitations on its authority. Judge Donald R. Mote wrote the opinion, joined by Judges John J. Ryan, Donald Hunter, Joseph Carson and Dewey Kelley. Judge John Pfaff dissented. The other two judges, James Cooper and Thomas Faulconer, did not participate. George Diener, director of sales and public relations for the- utility, -said Citizens' never intended and did not promise Greene County residents they could obtain gas service from it. He said the 23 wells drilled in the area were drilled so that gas could be pumped into rock formations for storage during periods of, low use, and then could be withdrawn in cold weather when tjje gas needs of Marion County were greater. . . / <3.

Police Find Over $400,000 In Cash

CHICAGO (UPD — Police broke into the back bedroom a dying policy wheel operator Wednesday night and found more than $400,000 in cash. Officers spent the night counting the money and by daylight passed the $400,000 mark. Cmdr. Edward Egan s”aid that when he walked into the. bungalow on Chicago's South Side, there were sacks of money as far as he could see, nine presses, a large paper supply, records of payoffs for the past 30 years and two policy wheels, the Night Owl and Speedway. Money in denominations of from $1 to SIOO was strewn across the room, stuffed in chairs, couches and clothing. The money was genuine. Police said the presses were used to print tickets and the records indicated the payoffs to lucky ticketholders. Five pistols and a rifle were in the house. Five dogs stood by. (A policy wheel is one form of the policy or numbers racket, a nickle-and-dime scheme pitched at the poor, The payoff g is sometimes 600-to-l, often col-? lected by a shill. (To play policy, a person g buys a ticket for a nickle, dime, 5 quarter. The “wheel” is a ro-2> tating drum filled with num-S bers, from which three areg drawn. A winner must have the 2 three drawn numbers, in order,? on his ticket.) Detectives said Mrs. RoseKennedy, 60, and Lawrence 5 Wakefield, 60, had lived in the; house for 30 years. Wakefields died in Presbyterian-St. Luke’s s Hospital of a heart attack a: few hours after the raid.
