LLOYD RAUSCH, BACK in GERMANY WITH
ARMY, WRITES OF CONDITIONS THERE

An interesting account of Ger
many as it now appears is con-
tanned in a letter received last
week by The Journel from Capt.
Lloyd Rausch, Marysville man
who recently returned to Ger
many with the Army of Occupa-
ton.
He finds remarkable contrast
between the Germany of today
and that which he left about 18
months ago, when he was dis
charged following the end of the
war. Yet many things are still
much as he remembered then
from his previous stay in Ger
many with the Army.
His letter follows:
Dear Friends:
1t has been SO long since / have
attempted" to write you that it
is hard for me to believe that |
am finally accomplishing this aim.
If anyone has the idea that the
Occupational Force has nothing
to do but enjoy Europe, it is

HOMES AT JEROME
ARE BURCLARIZED

Sheriff A. S. Roosa was called
Friday noon to investigate burg
laries of two homes near Jerome.
Both houses located west of Je-
rome, were entered sometime
Thursday afternoon, by breaking
in latched screen doors.
A stand lamp and a suit of
clothes at $50. were taken at the
Bert Andrews home and " mile
down the road, two table radios
were taken from a Mrs. Roof
ing's home. The radios were
valued between $50 and $50.
Sheriff Roosa contacted the
Delaware county sheriff and
found that a great deal of burg
larry has been going on in that
county.
Two boys are believed to be
responsible for the acts; however,
the only lead to their identity is
that they drive a blue convertible
coupe with brown top.
According to the delaware
sheriff, the boys have been
taking radios in particular.

STOCK TRUCKS UPSETs
IN DITCH AT DARLING'S

A large stock truck loaded
with horses and cattle was pulled
from the ditch at 1870 Friday
evening by Buds wrecker after
they attempted to back around in
the driveway of Darling and Co.
on the Delaware road.
The truck, owned by Hoyden L.
Tingley of Montrose, Pa, missed
its route and tried to turn around
to come back to Five Points"
and get back on route.
Several cattle and horses were
knocked down as a result from
going in the ditch, and after
being pulled from the ditch, the
truckmen had to unload and re-
load before continuing. This job
was done at the loading ramp al
the New York Central Depot.

NEWEST PRODUCTION FACILITIES HIKE
OUTPUT OF BUILDING INDUSTRY ITEMS

credit for this efficient layout
goes to Hamer Fuson, general
manager, whose plumbing fix
lures production experience aSsiS-
ted in the efficient planning of
the production flow of all mach
inc and assembly operations.
Current items being produced
are plain brass laundry trays,
cocks, and bibbs. Lines will also
be set up for the production of
gate valves in "" to 2" sizes,
radiator valves, check valves, and
other heavy plumbing goods
items.
Increased production and high
er standards of workmanship are
also attained through the use of
modern precision machinery. All
machinery is of the self contained
type, driven from motors built in
tegral with the machine itself
Power is supplied from double
trolley ducts which run the length
of the building. These ducts make
is possible to conveniently plug
into the power lines at any loca-
ton and at as many places as
required.
Newly installed machines in
clude Warner & Swasey electro
cycles, turret lathes, and Goss
and Dehees automatic chucking
machines. A completely modern
compressed air system supplies
the power for many air powered
tools.
The new factory is located at
the southeast corner of Elm st.
and Orchard ave. Mr.. Fuson eX-
tends a welcome to all interested
persons to visit and tour the new
plant. G.. Harvey Leach, of Belle
fontaine, was the contractor in
charge of construction. p A.
Workman served as construction
engineer.

STATE OFFICIAL OUTLINES PROCEDURE
FOR 194S REAL ESTATE REAPPRASAL

The following letter from the
Board of Tax Appeals, State De-
partment of Taxation, explains in
detail the reappraisal of real
estate which must be made in
Ohio and Union county before the
year 1949.
The work of reappraising the
property values in this county will
fall on the shoulders of Auditor
Frank T. McCurdy, under whose
supervision, a clerk or corps of
clerks will be trained in the intri-
cate job of taking such a reap
praisal.
Fred F. Becker, who heads the
Division of County Affairs in the
State Department of Taxation, ex-
plains in a letter the procedure
which must be followed according
to law. There is also included a
copy of another letter to H. B.
auditor of Preble coun-
ty, who requested this informa-
ton
In the words of Mr.. Becker, the
following must take place and it
applies in every detail to Union
county:
"We welcome the opportunity
of advising the press of not only
the statutes relating to the ap-
praisal of statute relating to the
of real property but also
outlining the procedure necessary
to obtain uniform values not only
within the taxing district of a
particular county but on a state
wide basis. We believe that if the
general public had full and COM
plete information in regard to
value of real property that the
reappraisal would receive support
and sanction.

expert cnecK the plant.
Also discussed at length Thurs
day was the apparent laxity of
|some Marysville police officers
in giving traffic tickets. The re-
lcords of the traffic court were
checked and Council members
are seeking the reasons for some
officers apparently doing SO much
more than others.
William H. Faulkner, chairman
of the cemetery board, presented
to Council the new rates schedul-
ed for lots in Oakdale cemetery.
Under the new schedule a higher
rate will be charged for individ-
uals living outside of Marysville
than those living within the city
limits. The proposed rates were
passed by Council and are as fol-
lows:
Two-body lots, within Marys-
vile $100; outside, $140, four
body lots, within Marysville, $3.50;
outside, $14O; eight-body lots with
in Marysville, $3.50; outside $500.
These prices include perpetual
care for the lots.
Floyd G. Brown, of Marion con-
sulting engineer, on the storm
sewer project appeared before the
Council with the blue prints of
the proposed storm sewers. 1t was
decided by the Solons to consider
the plans for one week and meet
next Thursday to decide on the
matter.
The third and last reading of
an amended traffic ordinance was
held, with the ordinance failing
to pass Council. Provisions in the
ordinance called for a stop sign
for Third ST., at Grand Ave-, Is
mile-per hour speed limit in the
Park area and oneway traffic
west on the alley between Grand
ave. and Park ave. The latter
provision was the cause of objec-
ton and solicitor was instructed
to draw up new ordinance leav-
ing that out.
Bills totaling $59O7.54 were al
lowed by the Solons, the largest
of these being the final payment
IN Mr. proxxp ond occooiotiop f0,,
work on sewer plans, for $4450.
The swimming pool payroll, 1852
and the street payroll, $300.60
were also allowed.
Members present were Council
men Overly, Forty, Huffman,
Bittikofer, Wagner and Kings
more, Mayor Asman, Clerk Schei-
derer and Solicitor Hopes.

"Under the provision of article,
IL, Section 2 of the Ohio Con-
stitution all real property is re-
quired to be assessed according to
value. We have a so-called uni
form tax system in the state of
Ohio. All tax for a so-called pur-
pose within a given tax district
must be uniformly levied. How
ever we do not have uniform tax
alton unless the base used in COM
putting taxes, namely assessed val
uation, is made on uniform
basis.
House Bill BIT, effective Sept
ember II, 1947, amends existing
section 5548. Under the provi-
Sions of H. B. 317 the statewide
appraisal of all real property
must be completed on or before
the year 1949. According to our
records there has been no reap
praisal of real property in Union
county since 1925. Under the prov
isions of the Mcdonald Act passed
in 1925 all counties were required
to make a general reappraisal as
of that year and each six years
there after. This act was effec
tive for a number of years and
required that all real property be
revalued in the years 1881, 1887,
1943. However, in most counties
in the State of Ohio the so-called
appraisals made in 1881 and l943,
inclusive, were merely a gesture.
In our opinion it is necessary to
view and value each and every
tract and parcel of real property
to enable an assessor to properly
price the property for taxation
purposes.
