County Electors May
Use Voting Machines

Columbus, March 26 - (OP) -
Electors of Noble county may soon
be voting by pulling a lever rather
than marking the candidates of their
choice with a pencil.
Secretary of State Edward j.
Hummell has advised the Noble
County Board of Elections that he
has approved two types of voting
machines for official and legal use
by the board.
Machines which the county board
may now purchase feature either
vertical or horizontal party columns.
Voting on both is accomplished by
pressing levers, and provisions are
made for voting either a straight or
split ticket. Secrecy is assured by
electrically operated curtains.
These machines, one manufac-
tured by the Automatic Voting
Machine Corporation of jamestown,
N. Y, and the other by the Shoup
Voting Machine Corporation of Phil
adelphia, were found by the state
board of voting machine examiners
to comply with the provisions OF
Ohio's statutes.

municipalities and townships in the
county.
5. Return of all of the revenue
realized from cigarette dealers Ii
cense fees to the municipality or
township of origin.
For Noble county public school
teachers and other public employees
the proposals mean more money on
pay day.
To the Noble county taxpayer, the
executive budget offered no relief
although Governor Herbert prom
ised that eff at the end of this year
-1947-the revenues actually re-
ceived by the state substantially ex-
ceed the appropriations plus a rea-
Sonable reserve, / shall then call a
special session of the General As
sembly for the purpose of recon-
mending for consideration the ques-
tion of tex reductions"
No mention of a veterans bonus
was made in the budget or the
Governors message. This matter is
still pending before the legislature
and will have to be presented to
popular referendum before it be-
comes involved in the states fl
nanceS.
Recommendations for capital i'm
provements and betterments will be
made at later date, the Governor
told the legislators.
By juggling a few figures, the
Governor compromised the differ
ence in the states estimated rev.
enues as estimated by the finance
committees of the House and the
Senate. The House wanted to set
$422, 100000 as a pay go"
basis for appropriations while the
Senate thought $487, 100000 would
be available. He estimated the states
general revenues for the biennium
at $455, ,28l, ,756, only $287, ,264 in ex-
cess of recommended appropriations.
The Governor told the legislators
he was presenting a balanced bud
get. The difference between his rec
concentrations for current operating
expenses and the grand total of
$532, ,942, APO represented earmarked
