Tax Books Will
Close March Is

All owners of real estate in Noble
county are being notified by Treas
urer Ira Pryor that the deadline for
payment of the first half of the 1945
tax on real estate is March /.
Treasurer Pryor stated that the
books will be closed on that date
and under no consideration will taxes
be accepted. Noble county was one
of the few in the state to receive an
extension of time from January 20
to March Is.
1t is necessary that the books be
closed in order to compile the de-
linquent tax property list. This list
will be entirely new from that pub
lished in 1941 and represents the
property which has gone delinquent
in the past four years.
Just as soon as a settlement can
be made with the auditor, this list
will be advertised and the property
sold within two years after date of
publication.

property used in all lines of business
such as agriculture, commercial, pro-
fessional, and manufacturing. Those
persons who apply at the auditors
office for help should bring a list of
their chattel property as of January

save a great deal of time in filling
out the returns.
For merchants who desire it, the
auditors office will assist in cal
culating average monthly inventories

office is not under pressure of wait
ing taxpayers.

ing average prices may be followed:
corn, regular, $1.0O per bushel; corn,
hybrid seed, $3.50 per bushel: wheat,
$1.80 per bushel; oats, 70 cents; bar

annuities, notes, deben-
lures, stocks and bonds of incorpor-
ated firms and subdivision bonds and !
notes issued since January l, 1913. |

o file early and avoid the rush
period during the last few days of
March. /

BUILDING NEEDED
IN COUNTY FOR
NATIONAL GUARDS
Chamber of Commerce
Contacted To Secure
Proposed Essentials

) Noble county Chamber of Com
merce officials have been contacted
by the adjutant generals office in
Columbus, relative to the location of
suitable building in Caldwell for a
national guard unit.
1t is the present plan to double the
strength of the Ohio national guard
and consequently many more build
lngs will be needed for armories. The
individual units will also be much
larger and for that reason, most of
the single unit armories will be
unsuitable for infantry comuanies.
The Norval Robey building on
East street was formerly used by the
old unit, prior to the war, but this
houses the Caldwell Canvas Products
Company and in any case, would now
be to small
1t has been estimated that for a
rifle company, they will need the
following space:
Drill hall, approximately $4,000
square feet; offices, 600 square
feet; locker rooms, 2,40O square feet
and property rooms, 1000 square
feet.
For firing battery Of field artiI-
lery, they will need the following:
drill hall, approximately 5,0n0 square
feet; Offices, 600 square feet. locker
rooms, 1000 square feet: property
rooms, 600 square feet: vehicle stor-
age for 30 vehicles and a drill field
adjacent, approximately four acres.
Such a building is not available in
Caldwell but there is no reason to
believe that the unit Headquarters
should be located here. l. is quite
possible that such a building could
be found in other communities of the
county and the Chamber of Com
merce is anxious to know if such ex-
lists. Either the president, John D
Wheeler, or the secretary. Arthur
Boyer, should be contacted and they
VIII work out a plan for submitting
this to the adjutant generals office
in Columbus.
Enlarging of the national guard
unit calls for the famous 9Th divi-
sion to remain intact. Major John
Groves returned to the States with
this unit and for this reason he has
been appointed by the president, as a
committee of one, in the intere-t of
bringing a national guard unit to
Caldwell.
1t is understood that a meeting of
former officers of the 37th division
will be held in Columbus newt month
and it is expected that Major Groves
will represent the county at this ses-
sion.
