              -n i "N,t " f i - 1 By PAT IIERSHEY Amherst City Council Monday night adopted an ordinance, after third reading, passed two ordinances to second reading and sent an ordnance back to committee. t Adopted was an ordinance which would authorize the City of Amherst to enter into a contract with Lorain Coanty Commissioners for housing of prisoners. Kenneth Sroka, councilman-at-large moved for adoption with second by Mrs. Janet $yittenbrbok, fourth ward councilman. It was adopted 5-1 with Second Ward Councilman Norman Anderson casting the no vote. An ordinance which would define kennel health, kennel commercial, kennel private, shelter and establish regulations, passed to second reading n move by Sroka, with second by rs. Wittenbrook. Also passed to second reading was an ordinance which would grant a salary increase to the law director's secretary. Norman Anderson moved for passage with second by Mrs. Wittenbrook.An ordinance which would authorize hiring of John Sawvel engineering consultants for the purpose of making a detailed study of the compete operations of the City's( Electric Department, including the finances, rates and all other matters deemed pertinent by the President of Council, was sent back to the finance committee and will be assigned to a special committee of council. Councilman-at-Large Clinton Reph moved for return with second by Ward Two Councilman Arnold Koepp. In other action Council: HEARD the clerk of council read a veto letter from Mayor Anthony J. DePaola on Ordinance 0-78-83. It reads: Dear Members of Council: I am returning Ordinance 0-78-83 vetoed. . It appears that Council is setting a double standard on when and when-, not to hire outside legal council. This particular legislation leaves it entirely . up to the law director, which in the immediate (past council decided against. Council indicated that they would review each court case on a case by case basis and then decide if outside legal help was desirable. As to the preamble to this ordinance, setting monitary limits, it is not legally binding as to how much the law director may spend for such assistance., . I strongly urge council to reconsider its action on this ordinance. Seepage 13 'V ! L On Of Okio i Qreat eivipapers VOL 61 NO 2 15c January 11, 1979 I - f -.

The announcement was made by Thomas H. Smith, State Historic President Office, Director of Ohio 4 Historical Society. The placement was made in con- nection with a state plan to identify and document prehistoric and historic places in Ohio which qualify for National Registry status under provisions of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. All nominations are approved by the Ohio Historic Site Preservation Advisory Board. The Depot, built in 1905, was recently remodeled with new walkways and a new floor. An office, kitchen and washrooms have been added as part of renovation to make a useful facility for community and Nordson activities. "It is hoped that the building will continue to serve this useful capacity to the residents of Amherst and surrounding area as it has for the past 70 plus years. It provides a different kind of meeting place while maintaining the aura of old time railroading," Nancy Scott, who is in charge of making reservations for the Depot. Originally designed as a freight depot, the freight doors have been replaced with picture windows. The high vaulted ceiling has been cleaned and oiled and the beautiful old brick interior has been wirebrushed. The( double doors are designed to open' onto the patio so children can participate in perfrming arts , before small audiences in the summertime. i t f V 8 v ' Large planters now full grown, add much to the general appearance. The hand-hewn beams and freight scale are all in their original condition.- A highlight of coming to the Depot is climbing aboard the 80 passenger car and 22 bed sleeper-pullman, built in the late 40's and early 50's, as well as the old fashion 1924 caboose. The compartment car was the luxury way to go in its time, complete with porter, hot and cold running water and private lavoratories. If you would like to schedule an event in the Depot call Mrs. Scott at 988-4111. There has been more than 80 clubs, organizations and groups using the facility last year for such things as banquets, dance classes, meetings,' luncheons, dinners, art shows, seminars, church meetings and training classes.
