Collection of personal and corpor-
alton tax is now under way in Noble
county at the office of County Aud
itor George E. Bates.
Bates has placed approximately
1000 of these tax returns in the mail
for the convenience of taxpayers
who have mailing address. Auditor
Bates said these forms should be
returned to the office, when the tax
payers come in to pay the personal
tax
The tourist" home business in
Caldwell has reached unusual pro-
portions the past few years and
owners of these homes are in for
a jolt-they have to pay personal
tax
Bates said that while furniture in
an individual home is not taxable,
furniture in rented or leased room,
cabin, cottage or furnished apart
ment is taxable since it is income
producing and must be listed for
taxation.
Practically every other home in
Caldwell has a paying guest" and
a special drive this year will hit
many new personal tax recipients.

Gene Miller Injured
In Auto Accident
On State Route 78
Believe Victim Is
Suffering From
Brain Conclusion

Gene Miller, 81, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Walter Miller of Sarahsville
remained in a semi-conscious con-
dition at Marietta Memorial hosp
ital, Monday, where he was taken
Saturday morning.
Although the extent of his in
jurieS was unknown, it was believed
that he is suffering from brain
conclusion which he received when
his auto turned over.
The accident occurred around 200
o'clock, Saturday morning, on state
route 78, two miles east of Cald-
well, near the Walter Fogle home.
Miller was enroute to his home in
Sarahsville, when he lost control of
the vehicle and it plunged over an
enbankment
The accident was discovered by
members of the Fogle family, who
had some difficulty in getting Miller
out of the vehicle. The young man
had been pinned under the car,
when it turned over.
Miller was taken to his home and
then removed to the hospital in the
McVaySchilling ambulance early
Saturday morning, when partial
paralysis developed. Investigating
state patrolmen said that Miller had
not suffered any broken bones.
The vehicle was badly damaged.
Gene Miller is a candidate on the
Republican ticket for nomination as
clerk of courts, running against in
cumbent George L. Thompson.

Telephone Go. Asks
For ak Reduction
Treasurer Refuses
Check For Payment

The Ohio Associated Telephone
Co., with main offices in Erie, Pa,
but serving Noble county, have
asked the Public Utilities Commits
sion of Ohio for a twenty per cent
reduction in taxes on public utilities
in this county.
Public Utilities falls under real
estate classification and for the
first half of the 1947 tax collection,
the telephone company sent their
check, with 20 per cent deduction
noted.
Treasurer Ira Pryor refused the
check, believing that if anything,
the company should be paying more
taxes, rather than a reduction.
With this in mind, Treasurer
Pryor and Prosecuting Attorney Leo
Carter met with the Public Utilities
Commission of Ohio in Columbus
last Thursday and asked that the
company's taxes be increased thirty
(30) per cent. Final decision rests
with the commission.
The two officials were accom-
panied by the county commissioners
and Auditor G.. E. Bates.
Once again in the interest OF
county funds, Treasurer Pryor will
attend a meeting to be held at the
Neil House, Columbus, this Thurs
day. 1t will deal with decision re-
Gently handed down by the state
supreme court in the case of the

vision.

''Did You Have A Room To Reni?" Is Battle Try AS
Tax REPRESENTATIVES Crack Down On Tourist Homes

It is not unusual for one home to re-
ceive> as much as $1,000 per year
from this type of income. Now is
the time for the captain of this ship
to cough up.
The law requires every person
with taxable personal property
either general or classified, must OBJ
tain a personal tax blank, file a
properly prepared return and pay
at least one-half of the tax between
February Is and March 81. If filed
after that date, Bates says there IS
a mandatory penalty added.
AS in the past, personne; in the
office of Auditor Bates, will assist
in making out these returns.
The auditor pointed out Monday
that in the spring of 1947, spokes-
men for schools and municipalities
appeared before the legislative COM
mittees at Columbus, complaining
that in many places the taxing
authorities were failing to collect
taxes on any or a sufficient amount
of the taxable valuation of some
properties in the subdivision.
AS a result Of these CLAIMS, the
legislature appropriated $150,000 for

use by the state department or tax
alton to send representatives into all
the counties to check these claims.
Bates has been informed that in
Guiding January II of this year, the
department of taxation has checked
so of the 88 counties and has col
lected an additional $1,180,939 from
25,052 persons. Most of this new
money, according to the auditor, has
come from photostatic copies Of fed
eral returns and new businesses that
have failed to file returns.
E. A. Warrington has partially
checked Noble county, especially
new businesses and strip mining
companies. In a few instances this
has resulted frorl the federal pic
ture on present taxpayers.
Warrington will be back in Noble
county from time to time, recheck-
ing businesses as well as to give
special attention to farmers, profes-
sional persons, persons having
cabins, furnished rooms or furnished
apartments 70 rent
Taxpayers who failed to receive
form are requested either to write

Caldwell council and Charles
"Spide" Ferguson, division engineer
with headquarters in Marietta, a
$4,000 Improvement project, affect
ing Main street in Caldwell and

The improvement will mean much
to Caldwell and will be completed
this summer.
It is expected that the village of
Caldwell will spend approximately
$4,000 on the project, the balance to
be paid by the state.
The project also calls for resur-
facing of this highway from the
Caldwell Produce Co. on East street
to the Gill home on Playground road.
The contemplated project was
discussed in detail at regular meet
ing of the council held Tuesday eve
ming.
The council also went on record

Red Cross Drive
Opens In County
Monday, Mar. 8
Mrs. Lois Jennings
Is Named Fund
Drive Chairman

In a special announcement made
today, Fund Chairman Mrs. Lois
Jennings said that the Red Cross
drive would officially open Mon
day, March 8, rather than March
Is, as previously planned. The
machinery is SO geared and func-
tioning so smoothly that the actual
drive was moved a week ahead.
Mrs. Lois Jennings, wife of G. T.
Jennings, of East street, has accept
ed the fund craftsmanship of the
1948 Red Cross drive, which opens
in this county, Monday, March Is.
The national drive is already un-
der way but Noble county is late in
getting started, due to lack of vol
unteer workers.
w. A. Meyers, general field rep
resentative for the Red Cross, has
spent several days in Caldwell, con-
ferring with members of the execu-
tive board, relative to the local
drive.
The selection of Mrs. Jennings
as fund chairman was finally made
and she gladly accepted her new
duties.
AS in the past, the chairman will
be assisted by number Of volun-
teer workers in each and every one
of the fifteen townships in the
county.
1t is expected that a house tc
house canvas will be made in Cald-
we'll and the larger communities.
Noble county's quota for 1948 is
$170000, according to Mr.. Meyers
It is comparatively low, when
checked with all the neighboring
counties and communities.
The drive will continue during
the remainder of this month and
possibly longer, if the goal is not
reached at that time.
The official Red Cross drive for
the nation was opened by President
Harry S. Truman, who urged the
support of all Americans in this
worthy cause.
The Red Cross is an organization
that depends entirely on the sup
port it receives from each and every
community and its work progresses
with the giving of others.
The success of the local drive will
depend on all citizens, whether their
contribution is large or small.
If you haven't already been con-
tacted and can assist in this drive
Chairman Mrs. Jennings should be
notified.

Macksburg Landslide
Recalls Historic
Find, July 5, 1882

The landslide at Macksburg, in
volving IL acres of what is now
known as the E. E. Jeffers farm
recalls a discovery of historic
significance, which occurred July
S, 1882.
1t was on this farm, then owned
by H. w. Ward of Caldwell, tha
the old historic turtle, bearing the
carvings of L. Whetzel, Betty Zane
and Port Henry, with the date
July 4, 1776, was found.
Scientists and historians later
proved that it was in WhetZePs
own handwriting This story also
received nationwide publicity, as
is the landslide.
The turtles death occurred in
February, 1884 but was preserved
and now a valued possession of

Many Veterans
File Applications
For State Bonus
Dick Davis First
I'm Line AS Gold
Rush" Moves On

The Noble county gold rush in on!
Wasting very little time, Noble
county veterans were right on the
ball, Monday morning, when the
bonus application blanks arrived in
Caldwell.
E. E. Cunningham, county service
officer, said that approximately 500
veterans had already filed their ap
plication for the bonus and that the
average payment in this county
would be $4,000.
1t was estimated, unofficially
Monday, that 275 applications were
completed at the main office in
Caldwell. A corp of volunteer typists
assisted in grinding out the bonus
applications.
Down at Dexter City, the Legion
post in that vicinity filled out 38
forms Monday evening and over at
Summerfield, As forms were COM
pleted.
Many local veterans will get the
full amount of $400 but it is all de-
pendent on length of domestic and
foreign service between December z,
1941 and September 2, 1945.
The rush is still on but Service
Officer Cunningham reminded ex-
GIs that there are plenty of appli-
cation forms to take care of all 1400
veterans estimated for Noble coun-
ty. The county received three appli-
cation forms for each veteran plus
an extra Is percent as reserve
supply, just to guarantee that any
waiting for applications would be
reduced to minimum.
There actually is no great hurry
in asking for the bonus. The appli
cation form carries the following no.
tation: "All applications must be
mailed out not later than June 80,
1850" That gives a veteran approx
imately two years and four months
more in which to get in line.
Richard Davis had the honor of
being the first to get the bonus ap
plication filed. The head custodian
of the courthouse, since the illness
of William Heron, was number one
on the hit parade which continued
throughout the day. He is a son of
Commissioner w. G. Toad Davis and
wife.
The county's supply of forms ar
rived in Caldwell at 5:45 a. m, Mon
day in an Ohio national guard truck
with state highway patrol escort.
They were received by Service Of
ficer E. E. Cunningham and from
then on in, the rush was on-in
spite of the early hour.
Veterans, outside the state of
Ohio, should make application by
letter for their bonus blank or they
can be sent by any member of the
family.
1t has been again pointed out that
only the original discharge papers
will work.

Harry G. Watson
Files Legal Action

Harry C. Watson and the Quaker
City National Bank, a corporation
has filed a damage suit in Noble
county common pleas court against
the Ohio Farmers Insurance Co.
The plaintiffs are asking the court
to award them damages in the
amount of $1,877.30, which they
claim is due them in insurance to
cover loss sustained when the
Watson barn burned to the ground,
February %, 1947.
The plaintiffs contend that the
policies were paid up in full and
there is no reason why the insur-
ance should not be paid. The barn
was located in Seneca township:
L. c. Young is attorney for the
plaintiffs.
