While reappraiSals of real es-
tate, public utilities and industry
for taxation purposes will be
started in l948 in some counties,
Auditor Frank McCurdy stated
that the Union county reapprais-
al will probably not be taken
until l949.
A reappraisal must be taken
either this year or next, because
of an act passed by the Ohio
legislature, June 10, l947, calling
for a general appraisal to be con-
Quoted by the county auditor at
least once III each siX-year period
beginning with the year 1943.
Auditor McCurdy said that To-
cal persons will be used to take
the appraisal but fewer persons
will be used this time than at
the last. One appraiser was APP
pointed for each township h e
last time.
While this method ended the
work in a little over a month,

Relief For Gold Mine Operators
tBy Mary Lee Council)

WASHINGTON - The Senate has sent back to committee Sena- tor McCarran's bill, s. 27, proVid- ing for suspension of enforcement of certain obligations against the operators of gold and silver mines who have been forced to cease op- erationS because of the existence of any law or regulation of the federal government.
 The measure, introduced on January Is, l947, was recommit- ted to the Senate committee on the judiciary after being passed over without prejudice each time it was brought up on the floor of the Senate. It is understood such ac- ton amounts to death to the bill, at least in it's present form.
 The bill provided that any op- orator, who because of the un- availability of supplies and equip ment was unable to continue op- eration of his silver or gold mine and thus fulfill any contract to purchase such property or requir- ing the performance of certain work on his property, could ap- peal to a United States district court for relief. The court, after hearing, could order suspension of work to be done in order to full fill any contract or make any dis position of the case as would be equitable to conserve the interest of all parties.
