REPORT on
YEARS WORK
More Mortgages Were
Cancelled Than Placed
On Property Here

Noble county recorder Clyde
Wharton has completed his annual
report of the conveyances, mort
cages, deeds and leases in his office
for the year past and it is now on
file in Columbus. The report was
delayed this year seeral months,
due to the inability of the State to
obtain the proper forms.
The report discloses that more
mortgages were cancelled in this
county for the year than was mort
gagged but in both cases the amount
is staggering.
Throughout the county, there were
100 mortgages on agricultural lands
filed, representing 7,547.65 acres.
They were mortgaged in the amount
og S138,427.14. Lands within corpo-
rate limits, valued by the acre, num-
bered seven, representing 1.84 acres,
and a consideration of S4,950.00.
City, town or village lots numbered
So and a consideration of S71 ,624.73.

complicated or mixed mortgages
numbered four and a consideration
of S2,O25.O0.

the county for the year was 164,
involving 7,549.49 acres and a con-
sideration of $217,044.87.
MOrtpapes Cancelled
1t is encouraging to note that
more mortgages were cancelled in
the county than were placed on
property, which in itself is an indi-
cation that more money is in cir
culation.
There were 108 mortgages can
celled on 9,O35.05 acres of agricul-
tural land, representing a consider
alton of $173,864.O0. On city, town
and village lots, rs were cancelled
with a consideration of $87,990.58
Six were cancelled on mineral and
oil lands, involving $8,150.0O.
Grand total of all mortgages can
celled were 189, representing $685.
05 acres and money value of $27O,-
O04.58.
This represents a difference of
$52,959.71 in the amount placed on
property and the amount cancelled

nominal considerations, 81 deeds
were recorded, representing 4,O06.9C
acres. The financial consideration

rate limits, representing 1.O5 acres

senting 20.87 acres and a consider
alton of $1,421.20.
Grand total of deeds filed, involv-
ing nominal and other than nominal
consideration were 372, representing

Real Estate Tax
Collection Started

Noble county treasurer Ira Pryor
has started his collection of real es-
tate for the first half of 1945. All
tax collections are currently one
year behind.
Treasurer Pryor stated that ap-
proximately $64,868.OO was collected
for the last half of 1914 and that
this collection should amount to
$4,000 or more.
This is due in part to the fact
that many taxpayers settle for the
entire year during the first half of
the collection.

The citation goes on to say the

vince him beyond any doubt that
il is simple, efficient, and prac-
teal. II the machine could only
be financed in terms suitable
to Martz. he says, he believes il
could work major changes in the
agricultural and industrial back
ground of the Southern states.
Having met with many types
in newspaper work, and with
many ideas, we think the ma-
chine may we'll constitute a sac
cessful method for deccflie.tag
ramie fiber.
Apparently other people have
thought so to, others wiz ..lcliey
to invest. One investor working
with Martz had a field Of many
acres planted in ramie, probably
the largest stand in the eoun-
try. The field was near the in
.ventor's house. One day Martz
saw the man supervising the
blowing under of the entire
stand. Amazed, he asked the
man why in the world he was
doing this. The man answered,
Martz said, mot to worry too
much about it, he was being well
paid to do it," Martz believes
firmly that the man accepted
a huge sum from organized cot
ton interests to Withdraw from
the development of the ramie
process and pillow under the
stand.
All that Martz has now is a
small plot to keep the cultivated
ramie strain alive.
Another man, a wealthy re-
tired N~ortherner who was living
in the South, became enthus-
iastid about the process, and
worked with Martz for a time.
On his death, he left 100000

development of the ramie pro-
cess" Martz says the failure of
the will to state specifically
which" ramie process the de-
ceased intended presented a loop
hole to his heirs, who succeeded
in breaking the will.
That's how the matter rests
today. Martz desires to go to
Washington TO take out a pa
tent on the latest development
of the process. which he says
marks the close of the exper.
mental period. He has no more
money. He needs a hacker who

Refusing to accept the Navy
Departments first brush Off OF
the complaint, the Mayor now
has added the strongly-worded
report of the state sanitary en-
gineer to the file.
The Kroeze report contains the
following allegations:
That al the sewage treatment
works. the estimated flow is
six million gallons a day. far
more than normal for the pop
ulation figure. indicating that
faulty joint connections are
permitting excessive amount Of
surface water TO flow into the
system:
That approximately one half
Of this flow is being bY-passed
without treatment into the riv-
err.
That sewage treatment plant
is large enough for the nor
NAL flow to be expected from
the present population. but cam
not handle the added flow of
surface water in the sewage.
Mr.. Kroexe states also that
excessive sand flowing into the
unsealed pipe joints
places an added strain on the
pumps. is filling up the sedi-
mentaiion tanks. and is wear
ing out the pumping machin-
cry at on excessive rate.
1T is felt the City would be
justified in requesting the res
ponsible authorities TO make a
study of these conditions with
the view Of making such cor
rections as are necessary to
eliminate the excessive flows
and sand infilfration as now
exists"
On the basis OF this added in
formation and the continuing eff
forts of the city to have the
condition corrected, the Navy De-
partment is now having a study
made by its area civil engineer,
on whose findings the depart
ment's decision will depend.
