Ohio Power Wants
Roads Closed In
BrookfieId Twp.
Commissioners Set
Monday, Sept. 9, Date
For Public Hearing

A petition by the free holders ot
the township, but it is said that the
Ohio Power Company is in the back
ground, has been filed with the
Noble county commissioners, asking
that certain roads in Brookfield
township be closed to public use.
The petitions are resulting from
the extensive strip mining opera
tions in that township which have
been in full sway the entire sum-
mer.
Three different petitions were
filed and the commissioners have
set Tuesday, September 3, for the
purpose of viewing the roads in
question and one week later on Sep
tember 8, at 2:30 p. m, a public and
final hearing will be held.
The second hearing will be for
the purpose of hearing any and all
objections to the closing of any of
the roads.
Petition one asks the commission
ers to abandon for public use the
township road, listed as number 90,
from its intersection with township
road number 81 in a northeasterly
direction to the John ChlaStala
farm "a distance of one half mile.
The second petition calls for the
abandonment of township road
number 81 from its intersection with
township road 81, in northerly di-
rection to the Noble Guernsey coun-
ty line, a distance of approximately
7I8 of mile.
The third petition calls for the
public to be denied use of the town
ship road which intersects with state
route rs at the Wheeler Gorby farm,
thence running in a southeasterly di-
rection to county road number "a, a
distance of and 1I8 miles.
There is some opposition to clos
ing these roads and the action of
the Noble county commissioners
will be governed in every respect by
public sentiment and the voice of
the people who placed them in of
flee.

Bob Secrest Opposed To Change
In u. S. immigration Laws

Former Congressman Robert T.
Secrest, Caldwell, in a speech at the
Belpre homecoming this week force
fully expressed opposition to repeal
or proposed change of the United
States immigration laws.
Secrest said, 81 have full SYM
pathy for the poverty stricken, op-
pressed millions of the world bit
the solution of their problems can
not be found in flooding the United
States with immigrants.
If we took one hundred million
Chinese, four hundred million
would be left in China and most of
them would continue to live from
hand to mouth. The same is true of
India.
In 1900, we had 100000 people
in the United States. In 1920, we had
los, 100000. Today, our population
is over 140,000,000.
If we repeal the immigration laws
of the United States our standard of
living twenty years from now will
more resemble that of China than of
the great democracy we have today.
