Sales Tax Receipts
Show Increase Here

Sales and use tax revenues to the
state of Ohio were at an all-time
high of $129,007, ,346, according to
the year and report of Don H
Ebright, treasurer of state. This
compares with $108,018,679 during
1916 or a gain of 1875 percent.
Noble county had one of the high
est percentages of gain in the state
of Ohio, being listed at 275. Total
collected for the year in this county
was $52,721.83 compared to SAL, ,351.-
60 for 1916
For the period ending Dec. 81,
when the Christmas buying was al
its peak in this county, receipts
were listed at $3,1O4.31. For the
same period in 1916, they were only
$1,69019.
Each of the 88 counties showed
sharp increases throughout the year
with Mercer county heading the
list with gain of 36.7 percent.
Along with higher prices the in
creased production of automobiles,
home and office furniture and the
construction of new homes were to
a great extent responsible for this
upward trend.

Valuable Salt
Beds Underlie
Noble County
Increasing I'm
Value AS Basic
Raw Material

According to the Ohio Journal of
Science, commercially-valuable salt
beds that are of great and increasing
worth as basic raw material for
the chemical industry underlie most
of Noble county and % other east
ern Ohio and northeastern counties.
James E. Pepper, of the U. S.
Geological Survey, New Philadel-
phia, said in an article, in the jour
nal that the western border of the
salt area runs in south-easterly
direction from Lake Erie through
Lorain, Ashland, Medina, Wayne,
Holmes, Tuscarawas, Guernsey,
Noble and Washington counties.
The eastern border, Pepper said,
runs through Cuyahoga, Summit,
Stark, Harrison, Belmont, Monroe,
Lake, Geauga, Portage, Carroll,
Ashtabula, Trumbull, Mahoning,
Columbiana and jefferson counties.
Pepper, who based his salt sur
vey on study of records of 1855
oil and gas wells drilled in east
central Ohio, said the salt deposits
in some areas have a combined
thickness of more than 300 feet.
It will be remembered that Rob
ert Mckee, back in 1914, was drill
ing a we'll for salt water, east of
Caldwell, when he struck the first
crude oil-first in Ohio, first in the
United States and possibly first in
the world AS matter of fact, it
has long been known that Noble
county was underlaid with vast re-
sources of salt beds.
''The shallowest depth at which
salt may be obtained appears to be
in an area in Lorain county that in
cludes Sheffield and Avon town
ships, Pepper reported: "'There the
depth from the surface to the top
of the uppermost salt bed ranges
from 1875 to 1850 feet.
From that point the beds dip
southeastward about 80 feet per
mile into Noble county, Pepper said
In Stock township, Harrison county,
the uppermost salt was found 4,767
feet down.
Because Of the depth below the
surface at which the salt lies, it or
dinarily is obtained by pumping
fresh water into the wells drilled
into the salt beds and repumping
the brine to the surface for process
ing.
The geologist suggested that Lor-
! ain county provides a Favorable
area" for prospecting for salt at
shallow depth.

Sub-Zero Weather
Envelopes Entire
OF Noble County
State Highways
Again Back To
Normal Condition

Fifty tons of salt, 700 bags of cal
cium chloride and Is cars of cinders
have already been used on the state
highway roads in Noble county as
a part of the ice control program,
according to Harley c. Wheeler,
superintendent of highways here.
This amount is somewhat exces-
sive over previous years but sub
zero weather and binding snow,
storms con be held responsible ir
this ice control program.
All highways in Noble county, ex-
cepting the secondary and county
roads, are in excellent condition anC
travel is bein gmaintained.
According to the government,
thermometer at Frank Burlingame
Sharon, the mercury nose dived tc
one below zero, Sunday morning
and three below, Monday morning
In various sections of Caldwell
the mercury stood at 19 below Sun.
day morning and variation of Il
to Is below, Monday morning. Thi:
is quite logical as Caldwell is situat-
ed in much lower section thar
Sharon or community.
Despite the sub-Zero weather, the
gas situation was not considered
acute and service continued as ir
the past, regardless of the heavy
load the companies were carrying.
Due to a failure in their heating
system, the Farmhouse Chevrolet
garage shut down operation for c
half day, last Monday due to un-
satisfactory working conditions.
Superintendent Wheeler also SAID
that ten additional cars of cinders
had been ordered and they were
now enroute. This will be sufficient
to cover the highways, should an
other emergency exist.
Emergency crews are still alerteo
and all machinery is properly gear
ed for the next heavy snow storm
State highway officials in Cald-
we'll are usually very well informed
relative to driving conditions
throughout this section and motor,
lists should contact the highway
garage before taking off on con.
tempiated trip.
