Tax Collector Finds
No Sport in Last
Minute Tax Reports

All, yes, it's just possible
that the revenue man does
not relish last-minute re-
ports of income tax any
more than Mr.. Average Tax
Payer.
Anyway, it was a weary
gentleman-Mr. B. H. Ly-
tie, deputy collector of the
Eleventh Ohio district =
whom a Leader reporter in
terviewed this week at the
e post office.
"More reports have been
filed this year than during
any of the seven years of
my experience here" Mr..
Lytle announced as he re-
laxed for a few minutes af-
ter a hard days work. "And
there's more to come. Well
be here until 8 o'clock on
Thursday evening, and right
up until the midnight dead
line Friday"
Final deadline for feder-
al income tax returns is set
at midnight Friday, March
Is.
"But tell them not to wait
until then-please," Mr.. Ly-
tie added as the reporter
ducked through the door.

Robert Michael Patrick Mcdaniel he calls
himself, and st. Patrck's day is a great day he
will admit But then he's so busy being an
Irishman all the year round that it might be
just another of those days on the Irish calendar.
Then too, his names not really Mcdaniel at
. all. Not his real name, as any good Irishman
will tell you It's MochDonal, pronounced gut
turally, in the Gaelic tongue-and Gaelic is
something an Irishman will roll at you with all
the fluency of the Mediterranean natives, or
again with the stacatto spatting of machine gun
bullets. 1t all depends upon how the Irish are
feeling. They're great takers. And Robert Mi
chael Patrick Mcdaniel is one of the best.
He was born in Newark, but he learned the
Gaelic tongue before the English, his father

Principals of the cast in the the.

the board. They are cast or

lesser characters come and go
and perform at will. One sees
drama bordering on tragedy and
there is comedy. But the under
lying theme of the story put iA-

nance and business-high fl

The job of board members is
no small one. Years ago it re-
ouired but two days of each week
to complete and handle all the
business which flowed through
the office. Now, it is job re-
curing full-time effort. They
are on the job at $3.50 and quit
at a or A 80 in the evening unless
their is some item of routine to

Second Block
OF Easter Seals
Bolsters Drive
Plea for Easter Support
Made by Licking County
Children's Society

With the mailing of 250,OOO
penny Easter seals this week, the
Licking. County Crippled Chill
dren's Society continued it's drive
to raise funds for the county's
crippled children. The seals were
sent to $500 county residents
with a special Easter plea for
support, H. w. Carr, chairman,
stated.
The 1910 campaign for funds
was officially launched last week
with the distribution to school
students of 10000 packets con-
tanning ten one-cent Easter seals.
Recognizing the need for addi-
tioanl funds in county, state, and
national Golfers, the Licking
county committee has set its
goal at 81 300. Last years drive
produced 81, 1,341.90, and special
promotions including the Install
alton of posters in city offices
and stores are being used this
year to bolster the campaign.
The fact that some 81 per cent
of the crippled children of the
county are not eligible for IN
fantile paralysis benefits was
cited by Mr.. Carr in urging the
support of city and county resi-
dents. The larger portion of the
fund remains in Licking county,
ten per cent being sent to the
National Society for Crippled
Children and one-third of the
balance to the Ohio society.
\ Assigned for special work
during the campaign this year
are Charles Starrett, Mrs. w. j.
Ingler, Frank Elliott, Mrs. Ma
rion Wells, Mrs. Charles Mont
gomery and Miss Jean Davis.

who did not even see the Irish coast until he
was young man of 21.
According to Robert Michael, st. Patrick's
birthday is unknown but during one of the wars
that ragged over Alsace Lorraine he was taken
prisoner by the English at the age of six or sew
en-. He was separated from his parents and
taken to a monastery in South Glastonbury
England. Here under the tuteage of Father
Patrick he became proficient in the language
and arts and at 21 he decided to call himself
Patrick after his tutor and to enter the minis
terry. 1t was shortly thereafter that Father
Patrick died, and on his deathbed urged the
young priest to go forth and spread the religion

fluctuate, but not enough to al
ter the complexion. Back in
1885 operating the county offices
cost $487,000. During the next
three years, due largely to de-
pressed conditions all along the
line, the figures grew. AS wit
ness: 1886, $528,500; 1887, $685.
1923; 1888, $604,956. The year
1889 showed a decided drop.
Loss of revenue from various
and sundry sources brought
about a sharp curtailment of
departmental appropriations.
Employees of Licking County
were forced to take a cut in sal
aries. The figure that particu-
lar year skidded to $498,443. Ad-
ditional revenue in sight for the
present fiscal year made it poss-
ible in January of 1910 to re-
store salaries in whole or in part.
Budget increases for office op-
erations were ignored by the
board. Appropriation, therefor,
took an upward leap to within
$4,000 of the 1888 high.

Newark Township
Voters Petition
For Twp. Division
Request of 81 Per Cent
Of Voters to Be Granted
Unless Contested

Request of 81 per cent of the
voters in Newark Township for
cessation from the city of New
ark will be granted by the board
of County Commissioners as
soon as the required legislation
is drawn by Prosecuting Attor-
ney Kenneth Kreider, Hugh E.
Jones, chairman of the board,
said this week.
The board, in conjunction with
the County Auditor and the
Board of Elections, has COM
pleted a check-up on the validity
of the 81 per cent of names sub
mitted. They said that unless
an injunction is asked and OBJ
tained from the Common Pleas
Court, they have no alternative
except to grant the request.
The move will mean the estab-
lishment of township boundaries
for the new township and the re-
naming of the subdivision.
When these in addition to other
requirements are carried out,
Newark will no longer vote for
township officials. Money on
hand from the tax duplicate of
Newark and in possession of
Newark township will be divided
between the city and the new
township, it was said.
According to state law every
city must be included in a town
ship. However, it is not clear
in the minds of officials wheth-
er or not it will be necessary to
elect a complete slate of trustees
and other township officers. 1t
is definite that a justice of the
peace will be elected by the new
township. Prior to cessation

ship in question gave as their
reason for instituting the move
that people from the city do not
have the interest in township
government as do those outside.
Commissioners feel that the
cessation action here sets a pre-
cedent in the state.
