Council OK's
Bridge Repair
On Route 285
State Highway
Will Accomplish
Actual Project

The regular meeting of the
Caldwell village. council was held
on Wednesday evening, Novem-
Der 3, following poatponement,
caused by the general election
held on Tuesday, the regular
council meeting date.
A representative from the state
highway department was given
permission by the council to re-
pair the approach to the bridge
just inside the corporation limits
on state route 285. Although the
bridge is outside the jurisdiction
of the village, the approach is
within the village limits. This is
a part of the resurfacing and re-
pairing Of the CaldWell-S -Sarahs-
vile road now being completed
by the highway department.
A traffic light will be installed
at the intersection of Mill and
Miller streets, north of town in
the near future. This action was
taken by members of the council
at the Wednesday evening meet
ing after they had been given the
green light by the state highway
department.
Several years ago, light was
used at this intersection but was
removed after the highway de-
partment felt that the light Gre
ated a safety hazard by causing
traffic to be held up near and
on the Pennsylvania railroad
tracks.
1t is understood that in addi-
ton to the light on the north
side, the city will soon have sew
eral new lights to replace those
around the square. These lights
are several years old and men
ace due to the fact that they fail
to operate frequently and at
other times stick thereby holding
up traffic in both directions.
The council meeting was
brought to close by the reading
of the bills by the village clerk.
Payment of all bills were au-
thorized by the council.

State Bonus
Payment Is
Completed
Noble Countians
Receive S312.9S
As An Average

All bonus claims in Noble
county and throughout the state
of Ohio, except questionables and
current applications, have been
paid.
This was stated today in Co.
lumbus by Director Chester w.
Goble of the World War II COM
pensation fund in announcing
588,127 checks totaling $182,564,-
852.56 we're mailed to living vet
Grams and the next of kin of de-
ceased veterans from April %,
1948 to November /.
Noble county had 693 army
claims, which were paid, amount
ing to the staggering figure of
$225, 5,17176. The navy claims in
this county numbered only lat
and amounted to $34, ,605.04.
This represents a total bonus
figure of $259,776.80 paid to
Noble county veterans, averag-
ing a single payment of $31289.
There were a totalof $50 claims
in the baby county of the state.
Director Goble explained that
questionable claims are those
needing additional information
or supporting documents upon
which a legal determination can
be made. This information is re-
quested from the veteran con-
cerned in some cases and in
others it is necessary to refer to
the branch records of either the
army or navy.
'Wgsa sannot say all irregular
claims1efe the result of the appli-
cant's failure to follow instruc-
tions. In many instances, omis-
sions and errors on discharge
papers furnished both army and
navy veterans upon their separa-
tion from service cause such
cases to be made irregular" Di-
rector Goble said.
Applicants with lower claim
numbers than 702,190 who have
not received payment can be rea-
sonably certain their claims have
been referred to a special section
for additional information or doc
uIllClito OSlOiS pay ylllSIllS Cd11 De
made in fairness both to the vet
Grams and taxpayers of Ohio.
On a state wide basis, 502,500
claims from army veterans have
been received and 434,348 paid
by November /. Of the 2O3,8OO
claims received from navy vet
Grams, 144,S84 were paid by No.
vember /.
Next of kin claims paid totaled
$2,150,372.91 and the average
amount paid per claim was
$383.38 as compared with "$311.47
for living veterans.
Of the $4,000 claims received
to date, 10000 were submitted by
next of kin applicants, Director
Goble explained.
1t will be observed that the
average payment in Noble coun-
ty was slightly higher than the
average payment throughout the
state.
