Atty General Rules
On Licking Co. Road
Material PAYMENT

Licking county commissioners
may not order a payment of
several thousand dollars worth
of road materials as moral OBJ
legation until there be sufficient
unencumbered funds in the
county treasury to meet the
warrants, Attorney General
Thomas ]. Herbert held this
week in an opinion to the Lick
ing county prosecutor.
In 1886 Licking county receiv-
ed 5000 ton of stone for road re-
pair. The county commission
ers did not have the county en-
gineer make an estimate of cost
of the stone which is one of the
steps necessary before advertis-
ing and accepting bids to make
it a legal obligation of the
county.
Determination of facts which
would support a moral claim is
the duty of the commissioners,
but the claim is renewable by
the courts and the courts are
not bound by the finding of
facts made by the commission
erS.
A county auditor is liable in
damages for all loss sustained
by the county for payment of a
morals which has been allowed
contrary to law. Commissioners
have expressed willingness to
pay for the stone, but there is
not sufficient money.

Kiwanians Hear
Dicussion On
Electoral College

Members of the Newark XII
wants club held their regular
noon day luncheon Monday, with
Frank Elliott, president of the
organization presiding.
During the after dinner meet
ing Chas. E. Schuler of the
Schuler Engineering company
was reinstated to membership.
Charles l.. O'Neil, who left
this week for Pittston, Pa,
where he has been transferred
by the S. S. Kresge company,
rendered his resignation as a
member of the board of direct
ors. George Happier was elect
ed to fill the vacancy.
1t was revealed at the meeting
that the December attendance at
luncheons had been 81 per cent
of the membership.
Frank S. harrington, mana
ger of Sears, Roebuck and COM
pany's Newark store, was ap-
pointed chairman of the commit
tee to solicit sales tax stamps
from members. The money OBJ
tanned will be used for worthy
cause by the club.
The program was in charge
of T. E. With, vice president,
who introduced Don Lindrooth,
who talked on "The Electoral
College," Mr.. Lindrooth ex-
planned that in the early days
of the Republic a great deal of
concern was shown over the
method of electing President
of the United States.
Many plans were suggested,
said Mr.. Lindrooth, but none to
elect by a majority of popular
votes. On 21 different days
this question was considered and
over 80 votes taken by the dele
gates who had been named to
make the decision, on a method
of electing President.
Finally the so-called "Virgina
Plan" was adopted, providing
that the total number of sena-
LOIO oIlO 1Cp1COCliC0CANCo L1OII
each state would determine the
number of members in the Elec-
toral college. They believed that
this method would keep any
particular group of states in
one section of the country from
holding a balance of voting
power in the election, and would
also keep the Executive branch
of the government free from
the whims of either the Judicial
or Legislative branches.
BY law the Electoral college
meets the first Monday after
the second Wednesday in De-
cember and casts the votes for
each of the states. The electors
in the states are elected by del
egates to the state party con-
ventions, concluded Mr.. Lind
rooth.

For several years the ques-

under discussion by delegates to

need of such a project being ap-

not until recently however that

1t is expected that the new

will serve not only as a place

Fulton Bryan
Driving 1916
4-Cylinder Dodge

Fulton Bryan of the Bryan
Motor company, came into
possession of a 1916 4-cylin-
der Dodge this week when w.
X. Richards traded the 25-
year-Old vehicle in Tuesday
on a new 1941 fluid drive

Mr.. Richards was the orig
inal owner of the 1916 car
and has had it in his posses
sion since that time. 1t is in
good mechanical condition and
perks right along with Fulton
at the wheel.
In 1916 many accessories
were required before a car
could be called "cOmplete"-a
far cry from the modern auto
mobile. Shock absOrbers in
those days cost $50 extra,

Newark's Loss

TT is with a feeling of deep
regret that we, together
with numerous other New
arkites, bid farewell to a
loyal citizen of our Com
munity.
Newark's loss is Pittston,
Pas gain with the arrival
in it's midst of Charles
ONeil, manager of the S.
S. Kresge Co. store of that
city.
While not a native of
Newark or even of Ohio,
yet a native son never gave
greater loyalty to any COM
munity than Mr.. O'Neil did
to Newark.
Whenever called upon for
time, effort, or service of
any kind he could contrib
ute to a civic project,
Charlie" never asked how
much would be required Of
him :. his was merely the
query "Is it for the better
ment of Newark 2"
q Just six years ago Mr..
O'Neil with his wife and
one young daughter, Co
rinne, arrived in Newark
from MorTistown, N. j., to
undertake the management
of the local Kresge Dollar
Store. Since then a second
daughter Eleanor has been
born to the O'Neil's, which
fact they agree makes
Newark an actual "Home-
town" for one member of
the family.
Mr.. O'Neil's warm friend
fness makes all acquaint-
ances Immediately become
his friends. His fair and
honest dealings with GUS
toners of the store, bust
ness associates, and en-
ployees contributed to his
great popularity.
We take pride in the fact
that Charlie" O'Neil liked
Newark; he said so repeat
edly, and Newark liked
Charlie" O'Neil. We en-
joyed having such a fine
gtizen among us, and con-
graduate him on this pro-
motion, and so we say good
bye and the best of luck to
Charles O'Neil and hope
that circumstances may
some day bring him back to
Newark.

NEWARK is fortunate IN
having within it's con-
fines a number of service
clubs, among them Kiwan-

The potential power for

unlimited. Any civic task
within reason could be ac-
y Acomplished with united eff
forts and work that has
been done the past years
could never be measured.
They have been in the fore

enterprise which has bene-
fitted Newark. 1t is to
them and others of similar
nature that we look during
the coming year for en-
couraging support in the
progressive program of our
city.

'Esnner could a tribute be
paid to them, than in the

Body Found

The body of George Mason,
so, was found by firemen in his
home in wildwood avenue, Sun
day morning, when they enter
ed the house to extinguish a fire.
Death was attributed to suffo-
cation by DIR. G. w. Sapp, cor
oner. The fire had burned a
hole six by eight feet in the
floor of the middle room near
the kitchen, and the house was
filed with smoke. 1t is believ-
ed Mason had gone to the room
where the fire started to smoke,
and later had returned to bed,
and that the fire started from
cigarette or pipe. He was a
Spanish-American war veteran.
Funeral services were held Tues
day with burial being made in
Cedar Hill cemetery.

countrys bankers to help speed Up and
clarity the defense drive. "Becouse

newly set up defense contract service.
A greet many manufacturers who have
for years been making q single line OF
products, do not immediately reolize

generally more rapid and more diversi-
fled than ore those Of his customers
