be unfurled for the last time
on April 27, when a patriotic
public demonstration will be
held in Columbus preceding the install
latiOn of these banners in hermetical-
ly sealed glass receptacles in the ro-
tunda of the state house. Each flag
will be carried in a parade by a men,
Der of the regiment to which it be-
longs. II possible, the surviving color
bearers will be brought to Columbus to
carry the flags. The ravages of time
have so affected these banners many
Of them are in a pTecariOus condition of
preservation, and so the greatest care
will be necessary in handling them so
as to prevent them from falling into
pieces 1t Is for the purpose of pro-
longing their existence that they are
to be placed in the air-tight recepta-
cles. Grizzled veterans from all over
the state will come for the occasion,
which will be arranged for by the Off
cials Of the G. A. r. of Ohio. Gov
Willis will speak at the gathering. The
present legislature made an appropria-
tion for the placing OF the flags in the
rotunda.
Must Pay Expenses Of Trips.
The county must pay the expense Of
trips made by it's taxing officials and
employees in the performance of Off
cial duties, so Attorney General Turn
er holds in a ruling which will be of
interest in every county in the state
In the ruling he says: Expenses for
street car fare of the employees of the
taxing department of the county audi
tors office in trips made in further
ance Of the duties of said office, and
for automobile hire, livery or car tick
cts in necessary trips made by mem
bers of the board Of revision in the
performance of their official duty, are
contingent expenses within the mean
ing Of that term used in Section 55S5, !
G. c., and bills for such expenses may
be allowed by the county commission
ers and paid as other claims against
the county"
Asks Cut In Valuation.
Mayor H. L. Davis of Cleveland made
his first call on Gov Willis when he
executive to aid him in trying to per-
Suade the state tax commission to cut
the valuation of the Cleveland Railway I
Co. from $22,0O0,0O0 to $4,000 900 so
as to end litigation which has kept the
city from getting its share of the COM ;
panys taxes for three years. If the
desired reduction is made, the COM
pany will at once hand over 100000 ,
to the city, paying up for the past !
three years. One-half of the sum would
be for the support of the schools. The
city is sorely in need of funds, espe-
cially for it's schools.
Will Urge Advancement Of Hearing.
Attorney General Turner has gone ,
east on a business mission. He will ,
gn first to Washington, where he will
urge in the supreme court the ad- |
vancement for hearing of the case |
there involving a construction Of the !
Ohio blue sky law. In the same court
he will ask the advancement for hear
ing Of the case involving the question !
of whether the Willis law taxes on ,
must be paid by receiv. !
ers when receivers are in charge OF ,
corporations. 1t has never been done ,
and the state officials believe the state ;
is losing some good money because 1t ,
has not required receivers to pay. ,

= Through the chamber of commerce
Columbus is getting ready to put in /,
firm bid for the location of the pro- :
posed government armor plate plant =
provided for in the bill now pending
in congress, which is practically GER
the promoter of the chamber says
that while Columbus would admit that
the armOr could hardly be made as !,

land or Pittsburgh, the advantage of q d
purely inland point from a safety Q
standpoint would more than Offset the l
difference in cost

viii Not Modify Rule.
There will be no modification of the
rule Of the state medical board that t
to be entitled to give nurses training s
hospitals must maintain more than Is "
beds Representatives of 35 hospitals n
in the state that fall below that ca. n
Dacity met here recently to protest c.
against the rule, claiming that to en- &
force that rule will force many of the n
smaller institutions to the wall, but e.
the medical board holds that to per- O
nit such small institutions to grad q
nate trained nurses of legal standing r.
would be to materially lower the eff ls
ciency of the professional nurse. s,
