where IS $4,000?
NOW IS QUESTION
OF pnEbtE BOARD

EATON. O.. Nov. 15-Preble coun,
tvs advisory health board has ap-
proved a budget calling for $4,000
with which to operate the pew county
health board the first years under the
new health board law. Although the
budget was approved. the board
admits that at this time it is at sea
as to the source from which the 50 900
is to come. The combined tax levy
for health purposes in the entire
county for next year is approximately
$780, according to the figures obtained
in the office Of County Auditor. Spen.
Ger C. Hunt.
The levies for health purposes are
confined to the municipalities Of the
county, there being no county or
township levies, except a county levy
for support Of the Montgomery-preble
county, joint tuberculosis hospital In
Montgomery county.
OF the IL municipalities in the
county. Eaton has the biggest tax rate
and biggest valuation for health pur
poses. Eaton's health fund next
year will have 1920 to expend. The
municipalities OF Camden and New
Paris have no levy for health purpo-
ses. In face Of these facts, as sup
ported by figures, 1t IS generally con-
coded that It will require a bit Of high
financing to squeeze $4,000 out Of a
fund Of $500.

G. NJ. Campbell, Of Lanier township
as secretary. following the resigna-
ton Of Mayor Edwin H. Young, Of
