.'45' DISPUTE
 IS UNSET1L
Decision Expected Before St. Maryaret's Holy
 Name Games Tonight

Ear muffs, boxing gloves, brass knuckles, and finger nails, not to mention the possibility of bean shooters, baseball bats and shot guns, will be in order this evening when the Holy Name society Jf St. Margaret's parish enters the weekly contests in It's prevailing "45" tour nament following which 1 discus sion will take place during which time it is hoped that a settlement will be reached concerning several difacuit passages necessary in order that the game be played according to "IIeryle." Local records contain litle information on the rules of the game and they must therefore be settled during or out of class, fol- lowing of course a cross discussion. As far as is known here, the only established rules are those founded by John Glover Of Gloversyille, whose authority on the game is something which the veteran play- CTS have now found cause to dis- pute. one of the arguments brought before the Willow Street tournament committee happens to be in leading the ace Of hearts in event spades are the trutnps and the necessity of a player throwing on the king of hearts, chancing the loss of a trick later fin the same hand. Some players claim the king can be held up and the ace of hearts in all instances is the same as a trump and must be followed with the color of trumps. However, 1t is expected the boys will come to some agreement on this matter or several will become exhausted in presenting their views on the situA- ton.
 Late this afternoon the "tourna- ment committee" consisting of James Carr and Detective Joseph Stevens, reported failure in their search for a judge to decide the outcome. No one wants to place himself in such a position. It was believed however, that the corn- mitte will secure the assistance of Mrs. Thomas McArdle, Mrs. Mary Lynch, Mrs. John Bresnahan and Mrs. John Martin, of whom 1t is said can settle any argument and usually do, with their umbrellas. Following the games this evening and in event everyone is still in a position to remain on his feet, re- treatments will be served and two prizes will be offered, one to the best player and the other to the worst. The schedule follows: Pat rick Flaherty vs Charles O'Day; Michael Whelan vs James Morgan; Joseph Stevens vs James Canfield; Richard Baldwin vs Bernard Scan- lon.

MUNICIPAL BOARD MEMBERS UNNAMED

municipal boards were confident that they would kil0w their as- slgniments today. They, like the inctimbehts who are worried, were kept on the anxious seat by Mayor Hayes sudden deci- sion this morning not to make any appointments following his inauguration.
 It Is likely that Mayor Hayes will make known his board sec lectiOtis tomorrow. He Is also expected to feappoint Building Inspector Patrick ]. Caflln. The charter gives hsm this power. Inspector CaFlin will rename James Clifford his deputy.

Mayer Frank Hayes, following his inauguration this inofhing, threw . surprise into the ranks of both parties when he calmly announced that lie had decided not to make any board appoint inents today. The mayors sud- den action, coming 50 suddenly, left ii1atiy dn1thfotIhded.
 It is known that the mayor has been planning many shake ups and even present members of some Of Che boards are wor- rylng about whether or not they are to be officially executed"

 It is almost unnecessary to men, ton that, under our present superintendent of schools, the ac- tivities of this department have. maintained their excellent stand ard. He has continually kept the school system of Waterbury on a high plane and is deserving of congratulations oii his record.
 Tercentenary
 Any record of the activities of l035 would be incomplete without mention of the part taken by our city in the celebration of the Con- necticut Tercentenary. In the en- tire state, there was to be found no better example of public spirit and civic enterprise than shown by the creation of the Settlers vil- lage, to which the various racial groups gave literally of their time and effort. The project grew and fiourished beyond the high- est expectations Of its sponsors. Through 1t, Waterbury received wide publicity, because 1t was visited and appreciated by call- CTS from all parts of the world. The success of this unique exhi- bition was so pronounced that plans have been made to reopen 1t in the Spring, when 1t will no doubt attract many thousands of new visitors. The city Is greatly indebted to the Committee and to all who assisted in any way in its outstanding success.
 
 believe that custom decrees that the Mayor shall, in his coin- intimidation, make recomi1etidA- tions such aS he may deem pr0p- CT for the best interests of the city.
 I am loath to do this. because I believe that our problems must be settled when and as they arise. I shall therefore communicates with you from time to time upon such subjects, 50 that we may have the benefit of mutual un- derstanding and frank discussion.
 There are many who will ques. tion, as Is their right, the wisdom or effectiveness of otir conduct of city affairs during otir administra- ton. AS I have said on previous occasions, have no quarrel with those who offer constructive crit. cisfn. This will always be welcome.
 To those associated with me in the work which we have tried to perform to the best of our ability, I extend my sincere thanks and appreciation.
 It Is my hope that their efforts will continue iinabated and that the prosperity which appears definitely to have returned may find each of you with iiiiifmpaired health and spirit to enjoy 1t. IsespeCtfully.

We are now engaged in arrang- ing for the sale of $50O,00O in Funding Bonds and $4OO,00O in Improvement Bonds, as author ized by the general assembly of 1885. If and when this transac- ton is completed, the amount of these bonds will just about off- set the payments on bonded debt which we will make during l936.
 In the same period, we have re. duced the tax rate from 42 mills in 1880 to 3l Ia mills for l036, . saving to our taxpayers of 10 l-2 mills.
 A feature of tax reduction which has not received general public notice is that the grand list in the same period has drop. ped from ti72,o00,000 to $i82,- bOO,O0O.
 Tn other words. our tax revenue for 1880 (based oh Q 100 per cent collection of taxgs) was $6,S24,' D72.l5.
 In 1888, with q reduced tax rate and diminished grand list, our tax revenue on the same basjs will be eD,O10,7 ,75O. This means in brief that there is available for Inc expAnseS Of tho city govern

 Money involved in the VITO transaction is said to be in the neighborhood of $750,000. The sta- ton was once reported in the mar ket for an even million dollars.
 Station VITO has been Connec- ticut's ranking ts.'on over Q period of years. During that time 1t has been affiliated with the Red (WEAF) network of the National Broadcasting Company, and has carried regularly some of the most popular programs on the air. With . far greater power output than any other station in the state, WT1C has become Connecticut's 8 best-known broadcaster.
 Hartford May Protest
 Hartford business interests will undoubtedly protest against moving the station from the city, and in all probability will ask the federal commission to refuse permission for the move. The Travellers Insurance Company is said to have lost hun- Ayeds of thousands of dollars in the operation of WTIC. The loss one year was said to be as high as e3O0,OOO.

Another 55-Year Subscriber

Mr.. w. A. Greer of Bloom town
ship, when renewing his Democrat
subscription, Saturday, stated that
he had taken this paper continuous
ly for SIS years. Mr.. Greer who has
resided practically all of his 70
years in Bloom township, very Wv
idly recalls the stirring time when
General Morgan made his raid, and
the day when the cannon ball was
fired through the barn on the place
which his son, e. A. Greer, now
owns, and which is better known as
the Meloy place. Mr.. Greer called
attention to the fact that an error
was made in this papers report last
week of the death of his sister-in-
law, Mrs. Nancy Greer, who died at
Pentwater, Mich, and which re-
port was an extract taken from the
report that was given in a Pentwa-

Autos Purchased Out OF State
Subject To Use Tax

Motor vehicles purchased outside
of Ohio for use in the state are sub
ject to the Ohio use tax, it was an
nounced Friday by Carlton S. Dar-
gusch, vice chairman of the state
tax commission. simultaneously
with the announcement, instructions
were forwarded to all county clerks
of court and motor vehicle commits
sioners that persons seeking regis
tration of automobiles and trucks
purchased outside the state for use
within the state after January l,
1886, must make a return and pay
the use tax within three day Pc
riod after registration. In this man
ner the state legislature has an
swered the appeal of Ohio automo-
bile dealers, particularly those in
border cities, for protection against
out of the state buying of motor We
hicles. The new sales tax law now
in effect does not tax out of the
state automobile purchases due to
the enactment of the use tax law.
All persons affected since Janu-
ary 1st, 1886, are required to make
a tax return.

Births In Morgan County Exceed
The Deaths In 1885

DR.. c. e. Northrup, health COM
missioner, reports that there were
237 births during the year 1885.
and 1872 deaths.
There were Is different, separate
causes given for the number Of
deaths reported.
Eighty-two deaths resulted frsm
all forms of heart disease; 26
deaths from different types Of ma
lignancy; 4 from pneumonia, and
/ 4 from accidental causes.
Of the accidental deaths fssr
were drowned; one killed by train;
two auto accidents; one poisoning;
cause); two shot gun wounds; one
stab wound; one electric shock, and
one suffocation in bed.
DR.. Northrup points out that this
high mortality rate in heart disease
is being noted the country over,
and hospitals and large medical cen
ters are giving their attention to-
ward discovering the reason for this
high rate.
Among the more commonly rec
ognized causes are bad teeth and
diseased tonsils in children, these
producing foci of infection which
may affect the heart. The infec-
tious diseases Of childhood, partic-
ularly scarlet fever, diphtheria, ana
measles, may lead to an involve
ment of the heart.
Overwork, worry, ill-temper,
overindulgence, both in food and
drink, predisposes to high blood
pressure, which in turn causes
death by some form of heart dis
ease.
Hence, the doctor points cut, il
your child has carious teeth, con-
suit your dentist. Diseased tonsi1s
should be removed. The child at
an early age should be immunizeA
from scarlet fever and diphtheria.
Avoid worry, fatigue. anger, and
over-eXertion; they are to your body
as short circuit is to any piece sf
highly electrified machinery.
One advanced in years shoasd
have a period of complete relaxa-
tion some time during the day.
Above all, consult your physician
often. 1t will pay the largest diyi-
dend, measured in years of useful
life, Of any of your investments.

Observation-Disclosures,

The Protestant ministers and a
lay representative from each of
their respective churches of Malta
and McConnelsville, met Sunday af-
ternoon in the Main Street Church
Of Christ. to make plans for 60
ch-movement which starts
aext Sunday, Jan. 10, and continues
for IL weeks. The purpose of such
community movement of united
efforts on the part of the Protestant
churches, grows out of the fact that
approximately only one-fourth of
the population of the two towns at
tend church at all.
Feeling that such movement
would give expression to the grow
ing feeling of cooperation among
the churches, inspire our people in
the common cause for which each
church stands, as well as urge each
person to take full advantage Of his
privilege and opportunity in devel-
oping a balance, poise and an ade-
quate faith in life, the churches Of
these two towns are uniting in this
movement which will, they trust,
prompt you to go to church some
place next Sunday and every Sum
day.

The cottage of Mr. Warner, at
Ramseyburg, near Luke Chute, was
destroyed by fire Sunday evening
about $50 o'clock. The firemen
here responded to the call, but the
house was practically destroyed.
They assisted in keeping the flames
from spreading to adjoining camps.
How the fire originated is not
known, since no one was living in
the cottage. 1t is believed to have
been set on fire by providers who
had been about the building. Those
first on the scene report that the
lock on the basement door was
broken. 1t was one of the finest
cottages in that vicinity, and was
fully furnished. Mr.. Warner, the
owner, has a grocery at Nelsonville.
