MANY UNPAID BILLS

An effort was made Wednesday by
City Auditor Ashbrook and City
Treasurer Bidwell to get 100000 from
the county auditor as part of the
December tax collection, but the
county auditor balked at their re-
quest. saying that resolution should
have been adopted by the city coun,
Gil to that effect
The two city officials wanted this
money to pay many of the outstanding
bills contracted by the service and
safety departments before the expira-
tion OF their terms.
When there is no money in the
funds to pay bills, bills should not
be contracted, according to law and,
those guilty of contracting them can
be held responsible for their pay
ment.
There are bills amounting to sever
al thousand dollars that are unpaid
and the money used to pay them will
Just take so much from the running
expenses for the next year. These
sums are growing larger each year.

Massillon, o., Dec. 22.--State Repre-
sentative Bernard Bell said today that
he would support any measure intro
duced into the coming session of the
general assembly looking to the as
sessment of real estate next year at
its true value.
Representative Bell is out and out
for Governor Harmon. He thinks the
governor is deeply interested in the
affairs of the state and that his pro-
posed measure regarding the full val
uation of real estate next year when
the decennial appraisers get to work
is step in the right direction.
1.-The tax rate will fluctuate as the
percentage of valuation is changed" "
said Representative Bell today. 1T is
easy 10 see that if the valuation is
doubled that the rate would be cut
in half. People should not object to
such a plan. If everybody listed for
taxation all they have the rate would
be reduced much lower"
Representative Bell says that the
legislature will make provision for the
payment of real property assessors,
who locally fear that they will not re-
ceive just compensation.
