County Commissioners File Exception
To Proposed Appraisal By District

The Noble county commissioners,
W. c. Toad Davis, H. G. Williams
and Charles Rayner, have filed an
exception with the clerk of courts
in Tuscarawas county on the recent
notice of hearing appraisals by the
Muskingum Watershed Conservancy
district, in which Noble county
would be assessed the sum OF
$24,360.29, due to the finding of the
board of appraisals, which in part
said,
Each county containing lands
within said District, including Noble
county, was found to be benefited
as a public corporation.
The conservancy district plans
for increasing and improving re-
creational facilities at the lakes, in
cluding Seneca, but it is proposed
that the credit of the 18 counties
within the district be used to fl
nance the improvement. The credit
cost of Noble county would be
$24,36O.29.
In their answer, the commission
ers asked for a complete canceIla-
ton of the assessment.
They gave a seven fold reason
which is as follows:
1. The plaintiff (Conservancy dis
trict) has failed in its promised and
scheduled road construction and i'm
provements on the south side of
Seneca Lake as originally planned.
2. There is a continued demand
on the part of the plaintiff for the
removal of property from the tax

3. Plaintiff has failed in its prom
ised and scheduled opening of allot-
mentS so that other construction
would off set the tax depletions
caused by the conservancy program.
4. Plaintiff transferred to the u.
S. government and removed from

Beaver, $4,000, Marion, $1380.0O
and Seneca, $3,22000, making a tot
al removed of SIG, ,470.00, which rep
resents loss in taxes of $2043.00.
Plaintiff has absolutely failed to
formulate a substitute program for
the furtherance of the conservancy
program and the protection of Noble
county to take the place of former
plans found to be unavoidable.
z. The plaintiff has failed to pre-
sent a constructive program show
ing single cent expenditure in
Noble county covering the assess
ment against the county of $24, $50.
90.
In concluding, the commissioners
asked for a complete cancellation OF
this assessment.
Hearing on the said appraisal viii
be held on June IL in New Phila-
delphia, at which time the local ex-
ceptions will be heard.
