UVKr Tuesday, Oct. 23. 19G2 Akron Beacon Journal 0,5 ddecl Water For Medina By DOX KIRKMAN MEDINA This City's water supply mav be augmented under a plan authorized Monday night by City Council. A go-ahead to spend $6,000 for a look-see at the underground water supply near the city's water treatment plant was approved by Council. Under consideration, Mayor James Brown said, is the possible addition to the three wells now providing most of the city's water supply.

Possibility is the city will hire Jones, Henry Williams, consulting engineers, to make the study. Negotia-. tions with the firm now are going on, Mayor Brown said. Hope is to provide ample water to service Medina's growing industrial complex and residential areas over the next 23 years, Brown said. The City is looking to double its capacity, he added.

Medina's present water level is adequate to answer all present needs, Brown stressed. The Council move would assure future needs. Council agreed to take over maintenance of Medina Square Park from County Commissioners. Council took control of the park by agreeing to a 99-year lease. Complaint Has been, Mayor Brown explained, that the city derives the benefit of the park and commissioners have carried the costs of upkeep.

The Fire Department has added four volunteers with appointment of Jack Miller, Frank Feckley Corwin Letter and Ronald Bachman as volunteers. The department has 29 members, one short of its 30-member complement. Wi A seek TOO FEW RITTMAN CALLS Toll Free Akron Phone Calls 'Not Justified9 1 15 if i 1 111 rrr. -JfyA-- Kvadcrs.

Council President Ashton Hall, the policy has not been "consistent." Hall noted that at least two tap-ins on the Sterling av. water line were after the policy had been evoked.

THE LINE, it was reported, was privately installed several years ago and is maintained by the City. If Council vetoes any further tap-ins, it would mean that new homes built on the street would be without City-serviced water. Sterling av. is about a quarter-mile outside the City limits. Rhonemus said he would investigate the legality of an annexation commitment in return for tap-in privileges.
