Seven Positive
TB Cases Found
I'm Health Clinic
Percentage Low,
AS 1,009 X-rays
Were Taken Here

Seven positive cases of tuber-
culosis were reported, Monday, in
a confidential report received by
Health Commissioner DR.. N. S.
Reed, from the state department
of health, as the result Of the TB
clinic held during the Noble
county fair. 1t was sponsored by
the Noble county TB association.
Of these seven positive cases,
two were residents of GAINESVILLE
and their names will be sub
mitted by Commissioner DR.. Reed
to the Muskingum county TB as
sociaton for a follow-up action.
A called meeting of DR.. Reed
and Health Nurse Mrs. Vera Cum
ningham was held Monday after
noon.
All those who show signs of
tuberculosis will be notified to
come to the office of DR.. Reed
and arrangements will then be
completed for a follow-up x-ray
film, l4x17. %
Cost of these x-rays will be met
by the Noble county TB associa-
tion with proceeds received from
the sale of Christmas seals last
year.
It is expected that if arrange
mentS can be completed, the
larger x-rays will be taken at the
Rocky Glen sanatorium in Nc
Connelsville and then interpreted
by tuberculosis technicians from
the sanatorium.
1t is important that each and
every individual of the above
seven positive cases cooperate
with the local health department
and receive additional examina-
tionS.
1t will be remembered that
l,O09 X-rays were taken during
the three days of the county fair.
Of this number, three were faul-
ty.
This means that only seven out
Hof l,006 x-rayS taken in the coun-
ty were poyitive, representing a
low percentage for the county as
whole. J..

State Route las
In Elk Township
Will Be Improved
Road Will Be
Raised Above
Flood Level

If present plans, being formu-
lated at the state highway engi-
neerS office are carried out, State
Route 145 from Harriettsville
south to Lower Salem, will be
raised above flood stage in the
near future. Although plans are
about complete, it is expected
that actual relocation work can
not be started before next spring.
In order to place the highway
out of the high water area, it will
be necessary to relocate the road
in two places just south of Har-
riettsville. Both changes will
take place between the junction
of State Routes 564 and 145 and
the Guy McVay store, Harrietts-
vile.
The first fill will be made i'm
mediately South of the store. The
other fill and relocation will be
near the Luther Schramm home.
The highway department is ex-
pected to begin laying the ground
work for the improvement yet
this fall with the securing of the
rights-of-way. The department
will probably secure material for
the fills from the immediate area.
The Elk township citizens, who
are usually isolated during the
spring floods, will welcome the
, new change. In the past the only
available highway into the iso-
lated area during flood stage
were County Road 46 and AZ into
Fulda.
Last Friday the districts CEN
ter line painting machine was in
the area anSs finished work on
Route 21. THE crew expects to
return to Noble county later this
fall to paint the center lines on
all secondary roads.
Workmen from the local garage
i are busy with ditching operations
on State Route 146 from Sarahs-
vile to Whigville this week. The
ditching of 564S was completed
| Tuesday.
An official of the Kent Bros,
Construction Co., announced on
! Monday that the new bridge on
State Route 285, east of town,
would be completed by Sept. 80.
At the present time traffic is be-
ing routed through Florence Ad-
dition while workmen are max
ing fills and preparing the ap-
proaches to the bridge.
A shipment Of 900 tons of Stag
has been unloaded and stored by
the local maintenance depart
ment. The material will be used
sfor patching work on the various
local roads. Trucks are busy this
week hauling Stag over u. S..
Route 81, north of Ava, where
the berms are being repaired.
Berms on State Route $40 will
probably be raised later this fall
when a sealing process is COM
pleted by Shelley and Sands,
Thornville contractors.

fit of approximately $4,000
yearly to meet the terms of
the ordinance.
The ordinance, drawn up by
the bonding house which is to
hold the mortgage revenue bonds
on the new $125,000 expansion
and improvement at the local
electric plant, in reality is a
mortgage on the plant and all
equipment.
Three main provisions are set
forth in the contract. The bonds
are to be retired at the rate of
one $4,000 bond per year starting
in 1852 and continuing through
1864. After that date, the retire
ment will drop to $4,000 per year.
In addition to making the pay
ments on the principal, interest
at the rate of two and three
quarter per cent must be paid
semi-annually on the first twen-
ty-seven bonds that are retired.
After that the interest rate jumps
to 3 per cent. Interest payments
are scheduled to be paid on
March first and September first.
Total yearly payments, including
the interest and principal, would
be approximately $12,4375O,
The other savings, approx
mately $4,000 yearly, must be
paid into the sinking fund until
the fund reaches a total which
is twice the amount that is paid
yearly toward the bond retire
ment and interest. The payment
lno the fund must be one-fourth
of the yearly payment there by
making the $4,000 figure above
approximate.
Last year, the gross revenue
from the sale of electric power
was $55,000. For the same year
operating expenses were $4,000.
Fuel oil constitutes about one
half of all operating costs.
Since that time, it was learned
that fuel oil costs have dropped
almost three cents per gallon
and this would seemingly tend
to allow for a larger profit in
the operation of the local plant.
The village engineer, Paul Ell
well, of Cleveland, has maintain
ed that an additional profit, prob
ably in excess of $4,000 yearly,
could be realized when the new
generating equipment is install
ed. This would come about in
in economy of operation made
possible by the duaI-fuel burn
ing engines which use either fuel
oil, natural gas or both.
Since these figures were drawn
up by the engineer, a reduction
of rates has gone into effect here.
According to officials, this would
reduce the gross revenue income
by about one:-fourth.
AT the Wednesday evening
meeting, the council and board
were expected to determine
whether all payments could be
made under the terms of the
new ordinance. If the necessary
funds will be available, the coun-
ell is expected to take action on
the proposal.
