SAACs
City Solicitor Charles B. Holts-
berry, before the franchise went
to vote, vigorously supported
the measure, stating if necessary
he was ready to carry the fight
to the supreme court. What you
councilman have done in pass
ing the same rate ordinance, and
what / am sure you will do to-
night in giving official sanction
to the franchise, is in keeping
with the request of the Federal
Government in time of war,-to
keep expenses down. Both Ma
yor Lockwood and myself have
spent much time going over rates
in various other cities, and we
find the rate here is compatible.
With small businessmen and all
of us being hard hit by special
taxes for war purposes and suf-
fering decrease in income and
taking increased taxes with a
smile-why shouldn't the utili-
ties ?" demanded Holtsberry.
The solicitor then read the fol-
lowing letter from the Office of
Price Administration, Washing
ton, d. c.
Dear Mr. Holtsberry:
Your letter of December 10th
has been referred to me for at
tention and reply.
Under the recent amendment
to the Price Control Act, no util-
ity may increase it's rates with
out first giving appropriate no.

Political Subdivisions
Can Raise Salaries

The order of Director of Econ
omic Sterilization James Byrnes,
attempting to limit states and
their political subdivisions from
granting pay raises without ap-
proval of Washington bureau
Gratis is without authorization of
law and consequently a nullity,
Attorney General Thomas j. Her
bert declared this week in an
opinion to the Bureau of Inspec-
tion and Supervision of Public
Offices.
Not only did Congress fail to
delegate such power to the Pres
ident when it passed the law
permitting wage control, but if
it had attempted to give the pres
ident the right to regulate the
salaries Of state employees the
law would be unconstitutional,
Mr.. Herbert said.
Speaking of the Act of Con-
gress, Mr.. Herbert said "There
is nothing in the entire statute
which would in any way indicate
that Congress intended that reg
ulations made pursuant to the
authority conferred by the Act
should apply to cities or villag-
es."
"That any state, in the exer-
else of it's sovereign powers, may
lawfully fix the salaries and
wages of it's employees certain
ly requires no argument or cita-
ton Of authority. The manner
of fixing such salaries Is like
wise solely within the jurisdiction

Victory Tax
Effective January |

The Victory Tax, effective
Jan. /, 1943, will be the most
drastic tax ever imposed on the
American taxpayer. Levied
only on individuals at a rate of
5 per cent on gross income, it
has a specific exemption of
1924 regardless of marital sta
tus or size of income. The tax
will be withheld by employers
from each pay period and remit
ted quarterly to the Treasury.
AS an example, a married per-
son with two dependents, earn
ing $4,000 in weekly amounts of
$3.50, would have a deduction
of $2.10 per week from his pay
check. Employers may deduct
the five per cent on each dollar
paid or use a table provided in
the Act, thus avoiding calcula-
tions.

Christmas

Once again the eyes OF
mankind turn toward the
East as the birthday of the
Christ Child approaches.
Once again we can be
thankful that there is a Dl-
vine Providence made mani
fest on a Christmas Eve
bolstering hope throughout
a tragic and war-torn world.
Once again, though hearts
. are heavy as the resoundlng
clank of the mechanical
monsters of war, the shrek
of bombs, the drone of air
planes on their deadly mis-
sion of death and liberation,
the unearthly din of the
battlefield; exploding shells;
terrain strewn with dead
and dying,-once again the
peoples of all the earth can
turn with confidence and
hope and faith, to that
Christmas Eve Of long ago,
and know in their hearts
the God-given right of the
freedom of man will trl-
umph.
On this Christmas Eve let
the whole world observe
that we in America rededl-
cate ourselves to belief IN
God, the Son, and the Holy
Ghost,-that Blessed Trinl-
ty. Let us have the faith
of our fathers; let us sacrl-
flee to the uttermost of our
material possessions which
in the highest stretch OF
imagination cannot balance
the scales for one single life
of a loved one lost on the
field of battle.
Let us again, this Christ
mas Eve, on bended knee,
express our faith in He
who has guaranteed free
dom and justice and right
and mercy for ALL man.
kind.
For only through faith in
God, giving strength, wis
dom and foresight to our
allies and ourselves, can we
hope to win through to spir-
itual and moral victory,
- that Peace once again will
reign to the far corners OF
ithe earth.

Bicycle License
January |

Attention is called this week
to the fact that bicycle licensing
goes into effect January /, and
that owners can secure such lie
enses at the office of Mayor Ar
thur d. Lockwood.
Here are some of the things
necessary to know in applying
for a license. To have the facts
in hand when making the appli-
cation will speed up the process
and save extra trips to secure
the desired information.
The applications will be
made out in triplicate. The
serial number of the bicycle
must appear. If the one on the
bicycle has been obliterated
another will have to be stamp
ed on the frame by the city
for recording purposes. On
the application will also go the
age of the applicant, telephone
number, make of bicycle, col
or, trim, whether boys or
girls, single bar or double bar,
tires, front light, and descrip-
ton of other accessories.
1t is pointed out that with
this information filed in tripli-
cate lost or stolen bicycles can
be easily identified and returned
to the owner. According to
Mayor Lockwood and the police
department, the licensing pro-
gram should cut bicycle stealing
to a bare minimum-such has
been the experience of other ci-
ties.
Cost of the license is so cents
for the year.
Dealers must notify the licen-
sing bureau in the Mayors Of

comprising Licking county unem-
ployment compensation pay
ments during November were
$40 per cent lower than during
October. Payments totaled $5,
214.94.
Throughout the state, unem-

creased 80 per cent to an all
time low of $139,916.90, the sec
ond straight month that benefit
payments have fallen below the
half million mark, according to

Our Warriors

Licking county's contrib
ution, in manpower, to the
greatest war in all history
is revealed by the over 5000
young men who have enter
ed the armed services, eth
er by enlistment or induc-
ton between Oct. 16, 1910,
and December of this year.
This figure is continually
being increased, and in an
other few months may be
near the 1000 mark.
What this means is ap-
parent when we consider
that this county's honor roll
in the last war was not half
that many.
So already we have doub-
led the World war figure
with many more to be sent
into the service. Before it
is over, some believe that
we'll over 1000 will be sent
to war from Licking county.
We have reason to be
proud of the local represen-
tation in our armed forces.
It's. safe to assume that our
G3wa boys are acquitting
themselves with distinction
on many battlefronts. Al
ready several have been
mentioned for special awards
for bravery in action. AL
ready homes have been sad
dened by that greatest con-
tribution of all-"Died while
in the service of his coun-
try"
Licking county's war en-
rollment is Just one indica-
ton Of how complete is this
nations war mobilization. It
is the type of all-out effort
which must be very discour-
aging to our enemies.

Harold Jay, district manager

At the session two weeks ago
council passed an ordinance call
ing for continuation of the pres

period. Certified copies were de-
livered to both the Ohio Fuel
Gas Company and the Ohio Util-

The Gas company will not ac-
cept it and is asking a rate in
crease on all gas consumption

would affect approximately 400
consumers in Newark. They al

to regulate the rates at issue. AS
part of our work in this field,
we have made it a practice to
oppose utility rate increases in
the absence of a clear and con-
vincing showing that an undue
hardship would result if a utili-
ty was required to operate at ex-
isting rates.
We hope that you can con-
vince the Ohio Fuel Gas Com
pany that it ought to continue
to render gas service in your ci-
ty at existing rates. If the COM
pany seeks higher rates it would
have to give us notice and in
formation in accordance with
Procedual Regulation No. II, a
copy of which we are enclosing.
If the company should appeal
to the Ohio Utilities Commission
for a rate increase, our policy
would be to oppose the increased
rates before the Ohio Commits
sion unless the company demon
strated clearly the increase was
essential and would not conflict
in the cost of living.
We are anxious to do what we
can to cooperate with you and
we should be glad to meet or
discuss the problems with you
further.
