Pipeliners Take
Over Caldwell,
Work Progresses
Housing Situation
Successful w Met
By Local Citizenry

The Williams Bros, Corp, has
~et up temporary headquarters
on the Mckee property, north Of
Caldwell or u. S. Route 81, and
laying of the new Is inch pipe
line is progressing rapidly, ac-
cording to T. E. Davis, superin-
tendent in charge.
Supt. Davis was of the opin-
ION that the corporation and
their following of 243 laborers
and technicians would be in
Caldwell and community for at
least three months or through
September.
The project of laying the
new pipeline, owned by Texas
Eastern Transmission Corpora
ton of Shreveport, La, has
progressed between Sarahsville
and Belle Valley. 1t will con-
tinue through Noble county, in
to Muskingum county and un-
der the Muskingum river,
where the contract will termin-
ate for this particular corpora
ton.
Mr.. and Mrs. Steve Williams
and M. j. Mackie are in charge
of the local offices, north of
Caldwell, and c. j. Porter, of
Woodsfield, is the time checker.
Local employment is being
used whenever possible, said
Supt Davis.
Through the confined efforts of
Ralston's Drug Store, Gillespie's
Drug Store and The Journal,
many of the laborers and their
families with the Williams Bros.
Corp, were placed in private
homes.
The response was especially
gratifying and executives of the
corporation today expressed their
appreciation to the people of
Caldwell, who threw open their
homes that over 243 people might
find a place to live
The Journal still has a list of
available rooms for the pipe
liners and they will be only too
glad to cooperate with those who
have not yet found room.
Many of the families are liv-
ing in trailers and to date all
have been placed in various
property lots throughout Cald-
well.
Business, in general, has been
on the up-swing and all the res
taurants are crowded to capacity.
Many of them have put on the
third shift and are serving break
fast to the men at 4:30 in the
morning.
The general moving in of the
pipeliners has been felt in prac-
tically every home and business
and all have been extended a
cordial welcome.

State Route 78
Re-Surfaced By
State Highway
Contract Let
For Route LAG
At Sarahsville

The completion of resurfacing
work on State Route 78 from
Sharon west to point near
Reinersville, in Morgan county,
was made this week by Shelly
and Sands, Thornville contract
ors. This brought to close work
on the county's east-west high
way which has been going on for
the past two years.
Last summer the same section
of the road was given primary
treatment which conditioned it
for the final hard surface road
mix. Other work done on the
highway in the county area re-
Gently included the changing of
the creek channel near the high
way just west of Summerfield.
A road mix was rolled in on
State Route 670 by the same con-
tracing firm last week with
work on the highway being COM
pleted Saturday. The road
around the southeast side of
Seneca Lake was widened and
new drainage installed prior to
the resurfacing operation.
Last month the Thornville
contractors were awarded a con-
tract which called for the resur-
facing Of State Route 146, Sar-
ahsville to Pleasant City. Offic-
ials of the company indicated
this week that work on the con-
tract would begin Monday, July,
Is.
Maintenance crews from the
state highway department are
working this week on the con-
struction of a steel piling bridge
at the junction of State Routes
| 215 and 78. The new bridge will
have wood floor and will prob
ably be completed within a
month.
A prime coat of tar is being
spread on State Route $40 this
week by division crews. The
sealing operation is being done
to prepare the road for a con-
tract job to be completed late
this summer. The contract was
awarded Shelly & Sands some
weeks ago.
The weed moving campaign,
which is carried out by the local
highway crews during the sum-
mer season, is continuing. The
right of way on u. S. Route 81 in
this area received the finishing
touches Tuesday.
Work on two bridge contract
jobs is progressing slowly, ac-
cording to reports. The new in
stallat;>n on State Route 285,
near the Caldwell corporation
limits is being held back be-
cause of a shortage of steel
beams and reinforcing irons.
Abutments and piers are being
poured at the junction of routes
200 and 145 at Road Fork. Con-
struction work on the actual
bridge has not begun.

Youngstown Plan
Defeated In House
Rep. Philpot Bitterly
Fought Bills Passage

M. eleventh-hour attempt to
ch lhge the method of distributing
the tax on financial institutions,
through which Noble county
would lose approximately $4,000,
was defeated Friday by a close
margin before the Ohio general
assembly raced to midnight ad-
journment of its record regular
session in Columbus.
Despite extreme press
exerted by House Speaker John
F. Cantwell and Acting Finance
Committee Chairman Thomas ].
Barrett, the measure lost by a
close margin of IS to 62.
Under the present law, all the
tax money collected on bank de-
posits and other intangibles in
Noble county remains in Noble
county.
Fighting the proposed "Youngs-
town Plan" included Representa-
tive George c. Philpot of Noble
county and Thurman r. Hazard
of Guernsey county, Democrat,
who steadfastly refused to sup
port the bill, despite the heavy
pressure. Both are representa-
tives of small counties, who
would stand to lose while
Youngstown gained.
Two years ago, the 9th general
assembly decided to return this
approximately $15,000,0 0,000-a-year
tax to the communities in which
the financial institutions were
located. Because most of their in
dustries bank in Cleveland, this
did not help Youngstown and
they were dead set against it but
to no avail.

Plans Compiled
For New Grade
School BUILDING
Board Will Meet
With Architect
Charles J. Marr

Caldwell's new $4,000 grade
school building will become a
reality within the next year, ac-
cording to the present plans of
the Caldwell Board of Education
and Architect Charles J. Mari of
New Philadelphia.
The local board of education,
headed by Bae Marshall, presi-
dent, is making every attempt
possible to construct as modern
a grade school plant as possible
with the proceeds of the bond
issue voted last November.
In order to bring this about,
they have instructed their archi-
tect, Charles j. MARI, to submit
further studies relative to the
school program with the thought
in mind of producing a structure
which will provide a modern
grade school building, including
all the facilities necessary for
meeting today's school curricu-
lum and those of the future.
Members of the board will
meet with Architect Marr within
the next two weeks for addition
al study of the plans and specifi-
cations. At that time, Mr.. MARI
will be instructed to proceed at
once in the final preparation of
the contract drawings so that
bids can be secured late this fall.
Rather than rush pell-mell into
a building program, members of
the poaln and Architect Marr are
progressing cautiously in order to
take advantage of the present
trend towards lower costs of
material involved.
Although there have heen sew
eral cuts in material pr,c"s dur-
ing the last three months, the
majority of the national econo-
mists predict further and greater
reductions on and after Oct. J.,
l949, President Marshall pointed
out. In order to take care of this
market condition, the board anti
cipates the procurement of bids
some time during the months of
November or December.
President Marshall said this
would give the contractors an op-
portunity to obtain all the ne
cessary materials and have
everything stored at the site, in
order that actual construction can
get under way in the spring of
1850, without any delay.
In concluding, President Mar
shall pointed out that current
problems in construction are
primarily the delays incurred in
deliveries of steel, pipe, sash, etc.
1t is therefore anticipated that
these delays can be overcome by
giving the contractor an oppor-
tunity to place his orders for
m a terials during the winter
months and have them in readi-
ness by the spring of 1850.

All Three Entries
Place In Chicken Of
Tomorrow" Contest

Noble county entries in the
statewide Chicken of Tomor-
row" contest, held last Wednes-
day in Columbus, won third and
