DRUNKEN DRIVERS
TO Be CURBED HERE
Authorities To Clamp
Down on This Offense

Warning that authorities here
are going to do everything they
can to break up the increasing
amount of drunken driving was
voiced this morning by Mayor
Asman. The mayor handed one
driver fine of 500 and costs
Sunday, and second man is to
come before him this week.
"This offense is becoming in
creasingly worse, especially on
Saturday nights, and we do not
intend to fool with the boys any
longer" Mayor Asman said. ''If
they want to continue playing
around, driving while under the
influence, they may as well make
up their minds that they'll have
to pay the price"
Working with local authorities
will be Patrolman H. G.. Ramsey,
who will check the highways
near Marysville, especially in the
vicinity of nearby beer parlors.
Officer Richard Simpson and the
other Marysville police will keep
close tab on ''the boys" in town.
Anyone they catch driving under
the influence of liquor will be
picked up, and Mayor ASman will
do the rest.
Jay Martin, Plain City, Rt. 3,
was fined 500 by the Mayor
Sunday morning after a night in
Union county Jail. Martin was
picked up by Patrolman Ramsey,
near New Dover, Saturday night
He paid the fine and costs and
was released.
Louis Nicol, of near Irwin, has
been cited to appear before the
Mayor some time this week, fol-
lowing a property damage acci-
dent on South Main street, Sat
urday evening. He was ordered
by Officer Simpson to appear be-
fore Mayor Asman this week.
Nicol, driving north on Main
street, in d state bed stock truck,
struck the rear of a 1910 Ford be-
longing to Luther Taylor, 800
South Walnut street, which was
parked on Main street. The acci-
dent happened in front of the
Gray Court building.

UNIONS TO HEAR
,SALTER OFFER
ON WAGE PROBLEM
However. No Agreement
Is Reached In Meeting
Held Last Thursday

No settlement or agreement
was made Thursday night at a
meeting held between represen-
tatives of the H. B. Salter Manu-
faturing co. and its three AFL
Unions.
The company's offer of wage
adjustments, while acceptable to
the unions, was not sufficient
inducement to settle negotiat-
ions. A general wage increase
demand was again presented
(which the company felt it was
unable to consider in the face of
serious cut-backs in its backlog
of orders and reduction in prices
forced by a stagnant market.
Because of the failure of hous-
ing to get under way as antici-
pated, plumbing goods jobbers
are holding large stocks of mer-
chandise which should have been
moved weeks ago. A recent sur
vey shows the contract lettings
for new housing down 13 per
4, cent from this time a year ago.
Willingness to continue negot-
iations, however, was indicated
by Representatives of the unions
who agreed to present the COM
pany's proposal to their men,
berships for consideration. Ne
gotiations will be resumed at a
meeting scheduled for Thursday,
May 8.

ended amicably with the farmers
agreeing to cooperate at all rur-
al fires and to have representa-
tives at the 10 remaining fire
fighting classes. In return Mayor
Asman and the Councilmen as
.sured the farmers they would

National Brass Mfg. Co., of
Bellefontaine, will move into a
new factory this summer, clear
ing the way for an expansion and
machinery modernization pro-
gram that will be quickly reflect
ed in increased production. This
additional output will contribute
to the industry's overall efforts
to speed production of brass goods
vital to the nations building con-
struction industry.
Hamer Fuson, general mana
ger, said the new building and
its 1850 square feet of floor
space will permit the company to
increase its current employment
of rs to 100 or more at once, and
that two-shift operations will be
continued to help cut into the
big backlog of orders.
Currently, the company pro-
duces plain finish plumbing brass
goods and valvel in wide demand
for residence and office building
plumbing installations. The new
factory will make possible the
introduction of several new items,
including gate valves in " inch
to 2 inch sizes and various sizes
of radiator valves, check valves
and heavy plumbing goods items.
60xl90 Feet
The new factory building will
be 1870 feet long, 60 feet wide and
will be laid out to simplify
straight-line flow of materials
through the plant in production
line fashion. The building will be
of steel girder and concrete con-
struction and will have a steel

DELINQUENT LIST
DROPS TO S477O.
TREASURER SAYS
Current Payment Hits
l09.09 Percent of
Total Charge on Books

Property owners of Unicm
county paid S2I4.333.93 in current
and delinquent real estate taxes
during the first-half 1916 collec-
ton, Treasurer E. A. Holycross
revealed today. The collection
was one of the best the county
has ever reported, he said.
Delinquent taxes in particular
were paid up in unusually good
fashion, with only S477066 in de-
linquent taxes now on the book.
Millcreek township, which had
delinquent before the coll
lection started, paid in the entire
amount.
Prior to the time the books op-
ened, this county had Sl9,91043
in delinquent taxes on the book
OF this amount, Sl5,139.77 was
paid, or 1904 percent. Last year,
only 1859 percent was paid in
on the first half collection on de-
linquent accounts.
Current Payments High
This years current first-ha;f
collection ran slightly behind d
year ago, but not much. While
the current charge for 1916 is
1855, 1924 only half of this "a
mount was to be paid in the first
half collection. But many property
owners paid up their entire years
charge at one time, so that the
collection came to S199, ,194.16.
This figures at 10000 percent
of the first-half charge, against
10962 percent which came in at
the first-half collection a year
ago.
The response by the taxpayers
this year has been very crafty
ing" Mr.. Holycross said. "It is
one of the best collections | can
recall and leaves the county in
very good shape"
Amounts collected in the va
riOus townships were:

A record has been received in
the Union county Agricultural
Extension office from the U. S.
Department of Agriculture stat
ing that P. c. Boerger & Son, of
Marysville, have completed re-
cords on six daughters of their
Holstein bull, "Sm Fern de Cream

six Paris township farmers VINO
attended the regular meeting of
Village Council, last Thursday,
took part in a lengthy discussion
with the Solons concerning rural
fire protection in the township
In addition to the discussion, the
Solons heard several other re-
ports and made arrangements for
reopening the Big Four play
ground this summer
The six farmers attended the
meeting to protest what they
thought was too much delay on
the part of the Marysvillc fire
department in getting to rural
fires and in preparing to fight
the fires once they get there.
Specifically, the farmers cited the
fire of April 20, in which the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. James
Welch, on the Bellefontaine rd.
burned to the ground.
1t was their contention that
the firemen took too long getting
ready to fight the fire, once they
had arrived.
Didn't Know Water Supply
Members of the fire depart
ment attending the meeting, and
Councilmen who were aware Of
the facts, pointed out to the farm
ers that there was no one at the
Welch fire who could show them
to an immediate supply of water,
and much time was spent in 60
ing to a small stream some 500
feet distant from the fire.
One of the agreements in the
fire protection contract between
the township and the village is
that the township will have men
at any fire to direct the firemen
to sources of water, and to assist
in fighting the blaze The con-
tract provides that Marysville
is to furnish only a driver and
two firemen for rural runs.
1t was further declared that
Paris township, has not yet had a
representative at any of the fire
fighting schools which are being
conducted weekly to train Marys-
vile firemen and others interest
ed in proper techniques.
The discussion was conducted
on friendly terms throughout. II

CONSUMERS

Continued FROM 8 INV
reluctance of consumers to ex-
tend their indebtedness varied.
Retailers and other trade
sources suggested such factors
as:
Record high national income,
incidentally, has been cited as
n reason that consumer credit
should be curbed. More easily
available credit has the effect
of pumping more money INTO
already swollen reservoirs OF
purchasing power. The result, 1t
is claimed, would be more
dollars bidding for goods that
are still limited in many cate
gories.
Secretary Snyder's refer
ence to the demands Of compe-
tition was echoed by some
stores.
Silk. Baer & Fueller, a St.
Louis department store, said
until last Thursday when, they
they held to their old terms up
said, they were forced to meet
the terms of a competitor who
announced that day a new 10
per cent down budget plan.
A Richmond, Va, department
store said there was evidence OF
the competitive spirit in low
erning credit terms.
Here is a sampling of COM
ments:
Foley's Houston, Texas: no
effect upon sales, no rush to
obtain credit.
Rich's, Atlanta, Ga: no effect
on sales in Atlanta because
terms imposed. by control being
retained.
The Fair, Chicago: buying
increased in last few days but
considerable argument whether
due to relaxation of controls CT
merely seasonal.
Tampa Merchants association,
Tampa, Fla: credit bureau
buster than ever in its history,
sales up.
San Francisco, Retailers
Credit association: only su a
seasonal increase in credit re-
quests. Only in isolated cases
have credit restrictions been
eased.
Memphis Associated Retail
ers: most customers not de-
manding the easier terms. Sales
have shown no appreciate
stimulus.
Kaufmann's TT m ent
store, Pittsburgi:no appreciate
effect. We haven't had any in
crease at all in demands for
credit.
Sears Roebuck, mail order
