Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1939-01-05

Among the closing acts of the
Ohio senate, which was brought to
its close Saturday night, was the
confirmation of DR.. Lee Humphrey
OF Malta as member of, the state
medical board DR.. Humphrey was
re appointed by Governor Davey in
April but his appointment had new
er been confirmed by the senate. Dr.
Humphrey was first appointed on
the state medical board by the late
Governor Judson Harmon, and has
served continuously ever since, hav-
ing been re-appointed by Governors
Cox, Donahey and Davey. His pres
ent term expires May 18, 1945. He
has already served longer than any
ether member of the board in this
state. and perhaps he has a record
for the United States.

MAYORS ANNUAL REPORT
the McConnelsville Council:

To the McCOnnelsville Council:
AS required by law, take this op.
portunity of submitting to you my
annual report and also to thank
members of council and all other
village officials for the conscientious
and thorough discharge OF thei1
duties during the past year.
During the past year we have
completed an extensive program OF
public improvements as follows:
We have installed curb and gut
ters and black top on six blocks of
streets.
We have installed sewers from
Main street to the river on Fifth
street; at total expense of S.
10000 to the town for both prof.
ects, the balance of the costs of
these improvements having been
paid by the federal government.
We have also installed six new
fire hydrants at cost of 1885. 90.
for the purpose of increasing the
towns protection from fire.
We have completed the refunding
program approved by the voters in
August of 1887, and the tax payers
of McConnelsvilIe should note that
PURPOSES
is LIZ mills lower than it has been
at any time in the past quarter of
a century. The completion of the
refunding program has made possi-
BILE this reduction in the tax rate.
The tax payers of the village should
be further advised that their local
officials have put into effect various
economies in the operation of the
government, such as eliminating the
post of street commissioner at
savings of approximately $500 per
year
After the completion of all the
public improvements above noted
the village still has the following
balances in it's various funds:
General Fund 2,996.39l
Street Maintenance -- 551.2sl
Gas Tax --------------- 359.32
Fund - 5,136.2Sl
Tax payers should note that
while the municipal debt is twenty
one thousand ($21,000.0O) dollars
in bonds outstanding, the net in
debtedness is less than $16,0OO.0O,
due to the substantial reserve in the
Sinking Fund at the present time. |
During the coming years Sinking
Fund receipts will exceed bond ma
and the net indebtedness !
will be reduced more rapidly than /
bonds are actually retired.
| recommend the adoption of the |
following budget of the year 1899: j

Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

NEW YORK, Jan. 4-The stock
market, led by the steels and rails,
pushed forward in vigorous rally
today with pivotal issues up frac-
tions to around 3 points or more
at their best.
The upswing came after falter-
ing start and was we'll under way
when the Presidents message to
Congress was published. Traders
studied the document, apparently
were not displeased with it, and the
rally was extended in the late trad
ing.
Wall Street had already taken it
for granted that rail relief legisla-
ton would be pushed at this session
and that the note of rearmament,
already sounded, would figure i'm
portantly in the Presidents several .
scheduled messages. This feeling
stimulated the carrier and steel is
sues and helped to pull the aircraft
shares fro ma slump into higher
ground
The ticker tape was slow most of
the morning, but speeded up after
the message was delivered. Trans
fers approximated 5000 shares.
Toward the end of the session
there was some profit realization
and prices slipped away a bit from
their best levels.
The Paresidents words were re-
ceived in most sections of the market
as constructive, and conciliatory
to business. The recommendation
against reduction of Federal spend
ing, some brokers said was regarded
publish" as market factor iras-
much as it removed at least one de-
fationary threat.
Another phase received cordially
in many quarters was the reference
to national unity and the ending of
strife between capital and labor.
Ahead most of the time, but off
from the days highs near the close,
were United States Steel, Bethlehem,
Crucible Steel, Santa Fe, Great
Northern, Chesapeake e. Ohio
United Aircraft, Sperry Boeing and
Glenn Martin.
Others to pull ahead included An
aconda, Kennecott, United States
Rubber, Westinghouse Electric. Gen
eral Motors. Chrysler. Dow Chem
ical and Du Pont. Tagging behind
were International Harvester, Amer
lean Can and Public Service of New
Jersey.
