Harley Wheeler Will
Take Office March 10

Harley Wheeler, Republican, will
assume his new duties as auditor of
Noble county, Monday morning,
March 10, replacing Ray McVay,
who has appeared politically for
many years before the people Of
this county.
Wheeler will be sworn into office,
probably prior to March 10.
He is taking over the heavy and
exacting duties of auditor during a
turbulent period. The county needs
more money to keep its political
subdivisions happy, the deputies
are clamoring for a raise which
they will never get, the commits
sioners are fighting with the State
welfare department, another delin-
quent tax land list must be prepar-
ed and submitted for collection and
there is a split in the Republican
party.
But the new auditor has the abil-
ity to cope with all these problems
and he is taking over the reins with
the best wishes of the electorate.

Faced with ever-mounting de-
mandS for more money, the leaders

counting of how much was avail
able for increased appropriations. A
special committee, headed by Rep.
Paul H. Ballard (R-Jackson) re-

New Tax May Be
Placed On Naiural
Resources Locally
State Tax Commission
Recommends New Tax
To Provide More Funds

Columbus, Feb. 12-(Ohio Press)
"A new tax, based on the privilege
Of seVering natural resources from
the earth, was proposed to the 9th
General Assembly by G. Emory
Glander, state tax commissioner, to
provide additional revenues for
Noble county and other counties in
need of increased aid from the state.
Glander recommended the substi-
tuition of a severance tax for the
present ad valorem tax on minerals
and mineral rights in his report to
the legislature. His report was the
result of five-months study ordered
by the last General Assembly.
"a severance tax is tax imposed
upon the privilege of severing ma
tural resources from the realty, pay
able by the owner or owners. by
the seVerers or by those required to
deduct the tax from the amounts
due others, and is to be paid at the
time Of severance" Glander ex-
planned. This tax is recommended in
lieu of all other taxes on mining,
producing and severing natural re-
sources.
attempting 10 assess minerals un-
der the prevailing or existing stat
utes is extremely unsatisfactory,
Glander reports.
For example, if the county audi
tor or his assessor has knowledge of
coal deposits and assesses either the
coal or the rights thereto as real
property, the tax is levied from that
time until the coal is mined In the
case of coal reserves the taxpayers
in many instances have paid the tax
for period of 25 or more wears and
no coal has been mined. Where the
mineral is not discovered until it
is mined or extracted, the tax will
be levied for very short period or
not at all; and in many instances
minerals are removed before taxes
can be assessed, levied or collected"
The tax commissioner did not
estimate how much revenue the sew
erance tax would provide for Noble
county or other counties where oil
or gas is drilled or coal is mined,
but he emphasized that the new tax
would provide more money for the
local governments.

August Ahrents, more fav-
orably known as "Augie", and
prominent citizen of the Dudley
community, narrowly escaped
the ravaees of a red fox attack
early Monday morning while
walking from his home near
Dudley to the local store and
postoffice.
Appearing from nowhere, the
bushy tail specie showed fight,
but Mr.. Ahrents being unpro-
tected, decided it best to high
tail for a neighbor's home, the
nearest being Jake Heddleson, a
short distance of approximately
200 feet. Successful in his dash
for safety without suffering any
bodily harm, Mr. Ahrents re-
manned under cover until the fox
was destroyed.
The call for assistance rapidly
spread in the neighborhood, for
the "sly red fox" remained in
waiting under the porch of the
nearby church. The neighbor-
hood was alerted, and all un-
harmed pedestrians were warned
against the possible attack of the
invading red fox.
Soon a posse arrived, we'll

making them suitable for the spec
ific type of operation which they
plan.
William F. Beatty, attorney, Pitts
burgh. and his engineer. Mr.. Couch,
were in Caldwell, Tuesday, making
final plans for the new industry,
which will employ between 80 and
40 workmen, when going full blast.
The old mine site, which has been
used for the village for the past
several years as disposal plant,
will now become the center of act
ivity for washing, sorting and ship
ping of both strip and vein coal.
The company will install leaders,
picking tables and any other equip
ment necessary in the loading of
coal, according to the terms of their
lease.
They plan on loading at least so
I cars per day and have space for so
coal cars.
Arrangements have been made
with the Pennsylvania railroad COM
pany to lay track, frog and switch
from the main line which runs near
by to the new loading site. This in
cludes 2700 feet of track on the old
right of way from the PENNSYLVANIA
railroad right of way to a junction
with the cement wall immediately
north Of the old mine shaft
The coal company has the use of
any building on the grounds and
authorized construction of any new
, buildings which they might deem
necessary.
The village of Caldwell retained
the use of the mine shaft and i'm
mediate surrounding grounds and
this will continue to be used as
disposal plant.
Attorney Beatty and Mr.. Couch
were represented in the transaction
by Attorney Leo Carter of Caldwell,
who drew up the terms of the lease.
Purchased several years ago by
the village of Caldwell from the
American Legion post here, the 8.37
! acres has been used exclusively for
| a dumping ground and the debt
| against same was paid off last month
by the village.
| The company has agreed to paw
| $500 per annum for the grounds
| payable one quarter in advance
| They also agreed to maintain the
right of way from route 81 to their
| installation and to keep all of the
premises they occupy in good order.
The new industry should mean
much to this county, when it is in
full operation and another step for
ward in the realization that industry
must be attracted to this county.
Mayor Secrest said the transaction
started last week and following a
called meeting of the council mem
bers, immediate action was taken.
No coal will be mined on this site
but trucked from various other
mines and strip mining sites, where
it will be washed, sorted and then
shipped to market.
1t has been pointed out that the
county's three largest industries are
all located within a radius of
three miles, including the Cozier
Wood Container company, the Noble
Livestock auction and now the
Beatty Coal company.
