THEATERS, PUBLIC

Influenza Epidemic Leads
To Action This Morning;
Schools Here Have 235 Out

All schools in Union county, as
we'll as motion picture theaters and
other public gatherings were order
ed closed this morning by the
County Board of Health for the re-
mainder of the week.
The order was announced short
ly before noon today as school alb
SenceS showed alarming increases
over last week. The closing order
was issued in an effort to control
the influenza epidemic which has
been prevalent in the county for
the past several days. The ruling
will remain in effect through Sat
urday.
Marysville school officials, as
we'll as those of several county
schools had already decided to Shut
down for the rest of the week when
the Board of Health ediCt was an
nounced.
"Our attendance was worse to-
day, after being closed since last
Wednesday, than it was at that
time" Supt. H. w. Carr said this
morning.
235 Out Today
There were 235 pupils, or 30 per-
cent of the total enrolment, out OF
the Marysville schools when they
opened this morning, Supt. Carr re-
ported Last Wednesday, when it

$4,000 DAMAGES
ASKED OF COUNTY

f. p. Hartman, Columbus, has
brought suit for $4,000 against
the county, as the result of injur-
les and damage suffered when his
automobile ran off the road onto
collapsed bridge over Indian Run
on the Freshwater road, April g.
1914. He names the county com
miSsionerS as defendants.
Mr.. Hartman, who said ne was
helping his son dispose of hay on
a farm which he had under lease
near Plain City, at the time, says
the county had not placed warn
ingS at the bridge.
The structure had partially col
lapsed in such a way that he coulc
not notice its condition as he ap-
preached it from the east. The
bridge had only partially fallen in
to the streams bed. No warning
signs or barricades had been e,
rected at either approach to the
bridge.
AS a result of the accident, Mr.
Hartman said he was injured ser
iously enough to require hospital
treatment and that he was unable
to work for two months. Some oi
his injuries are permanent, he ad,
ded, in asking for $4,000. Clifton
l.. Caryl is attorney for the plain
tiff.

LAMB POOL GAINS
ARE CONTINUED

Receipts at the Union County
Lamb Pool continue to increase
and prices are being maintained
at satisfactory levels according
to Guy L. Green, president of the
Union County Sheep Improvement
association. Six hundred seventy
one head of sheep and lambs were
handled at the New York Central
yards on Dec. and choice lambs
brought SIC per hundred weight,
Mr.. Green said.
Good lambs sold for SIS and a
fair grade brought $14., with COM
mon selling at $13 per hundred
weight A few poor lambs with
some scattering culls brought $12
and down and sheep ranged from
81 down. Weights on choice and
good lambs continue to average
high, most of them over 80 pounds
and will command the subsidy pay
ment of 3.15 percent which be-
came effective Dec. l with those
weighing between 65 and 80
pounds receiving 2.65 per hundred
weight subsidy payments.
A long-needed improvement at
the yards seems about to be real
lied as the material for covering
the ntire system of pens has arriv-
ed and work is expected to start in
the very near future, according to
information received from offices
of the New York CntraI Railway
co. who have provided the handling
and shipping facilities, in cooperat-
ion with the Producers Livestock
Association of Columbus. 1t has
been extremely difficult to handle
lambs during the bad weather and
the roofing of the yards will not
only add to the efficiency of hand
ling, but will also be a much need
ed protection to stock being made
ready for shipment.
The next pool will be held on
Dec. 27 and labor at the yards will
be in charge of Guy L. Green Mr..
Green urges all farmers to get
their lambs in as early in the day as
possible, preferably not later than
IL noon. This enables the men in
charge to process the days re-
ceipts and complete loading before
late evening.

and Wilbur Forty, member of this
committee.
Mr.. Quatman informed the Viii
lage officials that service in Ma
rySville had apparently become
poorer during the war years be-
cause of a tremendous increase in
telephone use here. Little could be
done about it until the present
time, he added, because the com
pany could not obtain men or ma
terialS to increase facilities.
Equipment Finally Here
Finally, it has been possible to
obtain automatic equipment nee
esSary to expand switchboard fac
ilities in the local exchange, he de-
Clared. Moreover. Mr.. Quatman
said, his company has recently OBJ
tanned the services of two skilled
telephone men, and two more are
on the way home from the Armed
Forces. By Jan. l, seven skilled
men should be working on the job,
although Is are needed to facili-
tate installation. of all equipment
and Improvements contemplated
for this territory.
During the war years, although
not so many new telephone inStru-
ments were installed, due to them
not being available, service on
phones already in use was in
creased by approximately 80 per-
cent, Mr.. Quatman reported.
Switchboard facilities at the local
exchange simply could not handle
this load and not much could be
done about it with no equipment
available, he said.
Many Complaints Heard
Councilman ASman told the
Telephone co. officials that he and
other Village authorities have been
receiving many complaints con-
cerning the telephone service here.
He added that MarySville is en-
tltled 10 Dellef service ana asked,
on behalf of the community, that
something be done about it as soon
as possible.
Mr.. Horton pointed out that an
other "sore spot" with local tele-
phone subscribers has been lack of
adequate facilities between MaryS-
vile and Milford Center and Ray
mond exchange. The company is
endeaVoring to alleviate oVerloadS
on these lines as quickly as pos
sible, he said.
In the very near future, service
on the Marysville exchange not
only will be bettered, but also be-
tween the county seat and the 9th
er exchanges as well.
