Editor
 The Wrangell Sentinel
 Dear Sir:
 would appreciate a small space in your paper to make an explanation that think is neces- sary at this time.
 There have been various rumors circulated in regard 10 the reason that it was impossible for the pro spectiYe buyers of the WrangeIl lumber mills to secure a clear title to the mill property. One of these rumors was that the Alaska Native Brotherhood of Wrangell was in- strumental in preventing the sale of the mill for the reason that they were claiming land in the property involved This statement is absolutely without foundation as the Brotherhood has no con- nection whatsoever. with this pro- perty, and the minutes of our meet ings will reveal, that no discussion of this contemplated deal has ever been mentioned in our meetings. Our organization realizes the benefits that would be derived from the operation of this plant. for our community and the citizens. who have their homes here, and the merchants and business people As far as we are concerned We would lend whatever efforts that we have at our disposal to assist in getting this matter satisfacto- rily adjusted so that the wheels of progress could be set in motion 10 create a permanent payroll and the employment of labor. Some thing that is yitally essential for the future welfare of Wrangell
 Sincerely.

on the road was completed last
Saturday.
The work by the division crews
was done primarily to prepare the
highway for a road mix top to
be applied in the near future.
The contract for the job has been
awarded to Shelly & Sands, con-
tractors, from Columbus.
State Route 215 out of Belle
Valley is to receive 400 tons of
aggregate in the next two weeks
according to officials. Work will
be done by local crews who hope
to complete the job by June s.
According to reliable reports the
road has broken through in var

Pennsylvania
Line Completes
Bridge Project
Heavier Output
Of Coal Will Be
Made Possible

In a record breaking time
of only a few weeks, the
Pennsylvania railroad COM
pany, with headquarters in
Cleveland, has completed the
construction of two new iron
bridges and the elevation of
the underpass at Florence
Addition, north of Caldwell,
with the Vogt & Conant
steel contractors of Cleve-
land in charge.
Exactly four hours after the
old bridge on the railroad near
Florence Addition had been dis
manteled, the new bridge was
in place, according to Al Bur
roughs, general construction
foreman in charge.
With the aid of a derrick car
and crane, the bridge, which
weighs rs tons was erected.
Foreman Burroughs said that
a dead track" existed for only
two days and that normal traf-
fic has been resumed.
When the underpass on u. S.
Route 81 was raised seven and
onehalf inches, the extensive
construction program for Noble
county was completed.
The crew of contractors NOV
ed on to Baltimore, Md, this
week where they will construct
several new bridges for the Bal
timore & Ohio railroad company
On this job, 86 trains pass over
the track in II hours and the
construction company employees
will be able to work only Is
minutes at a clip.
1t will be remembered that
the new bridge near the Stand
ard Oil bulk station was com
pleted in record breaking time
and it was again duplicated on
the Florence Addition bridge.
The new bridge will be known
as No. 3642. The construction was
necessary in order to permit
heavier engines and more coal
cars on this section of the track
in Noble county. This will now
permit greater output of strip
mine coal.
Monday and Tuesday, Foreman
Burroughs and his crew of "a
men were busy with the eleva-
tion of the underpass; which
spans Route 81.
This was deemed necessary by
the Pennsylvania company tc
permit a greater truck load or
the highway.

and Harry Tracey, all of Cleve.

the collection and he placed
the blame entirely on the
county itself because this
collection had not been current
year after year
Considering that Noble county
is one of the smallest in the state,
she now ranks 34th in Ohio for
the amount of un-collected delin-
quent taxes.
The "open meeting was re-
quested by selected representa-
tives of the oranges and farm
bureau organizations in this
county two weeks ago, when
these progressive farmers be-
came interested in the financial
status of the county.
Attending the meeting were
Tax Commissioner Becker, Audi
tor Jack Wilson, Commissioners
w. c. Davis, Charles Rayner,
haywood Love, Representative
George Philpot, Benson Day,
also of the tax department, and
representatives of the farm or
ganizations in the county.
Mr. Becker agreed to come to
Caldwell to help iron out local
tax problems when he was con-
tacted by the commissioners on
May 2. Three things were para
mount in the minds of the far
mers who requested the meeting:
!. How to get coal lands placed
on the tax duplicate 2. When and
how reappraisal of real estate
would be made. 3. Why no at
tempt had been made to collect
delinquent taxes.
Verbal Airing
All three questions got a com
plete verbal airing Monday. Ac-
cording to Commissioner Becker
coal lands can be taxed but under
present laws any land owner
; whose land is underlaid with
coal would be required to pay the
same taxes regardless of whether
mining operations were going or
or not. Mr. Becker was careful
to point out that taxation is made
on the land itself and ownership
has no relation to the value OF
the land. Said Mr. Becker, Re
! gardlesS of whether the land is
owned by corporation or an in
dividual, the value is basically
the same and taxation is made or
that basis"
Sharply Criticized
Members of the legislature
both past and present, were
sharply criticized by the robust
silvery-haired tax commissioner
Mr.. Becker stated that for the
past Is years the tax department
has been eager to secure passage
of a severance tax law which
would place tax on units OF
minerals as they were removed
from the land According to Re.
preventative Philpot, the present

a surplus had been built up
which amounted to $4,000. This
was transferred to the general
fund. No surplus has been built
up since due to the high valua-
ton of livestock and the increase
in the number of losses.
A total of SO claims were ap-
proved. The largest payment
was made to w. K. Conner, of
the Hiramsburg community. Mr..
Conner was awarded damages
amounting to $255. This amount
covered the loss of 81 sheep, %
of which were killed outright.
The following is a list of
claims approved by the commits
sioners: Frank Barnhart, Dexter
