FIREDESTROYS
BROADWAY HOME

Farm home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Amer RauSch, near Broadway, and
all its contents, was destroyed by
fire of undetermined origin Satur-
day night
Mr.. and Mrs. Rausch and their
two little sons were in Rich
wod at the time and knew nothing
about the fire until they returned
about midnight, it is reported. .
The fire started about $50 pm.
Volunteers from Broadway and
vicinity were able to save the out
buildings, but the flames had gain
ed such head-way that nothing
could be done to save the house or
its contents.
Mr.. Rausch had recently remod-
eled the property, installing new
plumbing and a basement. He had
intended to put in furnace af
soon as he could get one. Mean
while the home was being heated
with circulating heaters.
One of the first persons at the
fire, before the home had burned
down, said he could see one of the
heating stoves lying on its side on
the floor. Whether the stove upset,
causing the fire, or whether the
fire started elsewhere and burned
the flooring away from the stove,
causing in to upset, could not be
determined.

PARKING METERS
FOR TOWN ORDERED
Will Be Installed In
so To 80 Days, Mayor Says

Order for 40 parking meters, to
be installed in the Marysville bus
mess district, has been placed by
Mayor Asman with the Magee-
Hale Park-O-Meter company,
PittSburg, he revealed this morn
ing.
Contract for the meters was
signed by the Mayor and William
Buhl, district representative of the
company, last week. The company
expects to be able to make delivery
in so to 90 days, and the meters
will be installed on a trial basis at

The meter which Mayor Asman
bought was the one which men,
berS of Council unanimously favor
ed at their last meeting. 1t will
cost $3.50 per meter, and is COM
pletely automatic.
1t is so constructed that a single
slot will take either pennies or
nickels, depending upon how long
the motorist intends to park. 1t
can be adjusted mechanically to fit
any kind of parking regulation.
With the meters installed, May
or ASman said, there will be no
change in parking time limits in
the business district. Two hours
will continue to be the maximum
allowed, and it will cost 10 cents to
remain parked for the full amount,
Persons wishing TO park for
shorter periods of time may de-
poSit as little as a penny for Il
minutes, two pennies for "a min
utes, three for SO minutes, four
cents for 48 minutes, or i nickle
! for one hour.
Figures on the meter which show
how much uNeXpired time remains
thereon are large and quickly read
able for both motorists and en-
forCement officers. The mechanism
is installed in a Weather-proff
! transparent plastic case.

saying to a new father who just
paid the hospital bill and settled
with the doctor now your eX-
penSes are over
1t is true that Government ex-
PenseS in peace times should be
met through tax channels. Normal
ly that may be true but eXtraordin-
ary expenses such as mastering out
our armies, paying G.I. costs after
discharge, and caring for the hosp
italized, those are expenses which
must be met through borrowings.
So individual citizens loan their
money TO the goVernment-get a
good interest return for so doing
thus they save at a profit and the
government avoids inflationary
financing which in the long run
would be very costly to all of us
by setting up fictitious values. E
uropean countries resorting to
printing press money are going
through the agonizing pains of in
flation now.
The Victory Loan is another in
flation stop gap in this country.
We in Union county must do our
share.
