etry work, will be rs feet long
and l8 feet wide.
A complete new front will be
installed in the business building
with lowered ceiling and COM

81 Oh 100 Paid For Noble County Polio Victims

that the current drive was not
a local one, other than to help
the national foundation. In the
event the local chapter runs out
of money, the national founda-
tion will furnish the money and
the treatment of the polio vic
Tins continues. However, the
chapter is expected to reimburse
the national foundation, when
ever possible.
Rev. Wilson is also hopeful
that more people will become in
terested in this cause throughout
this country, as the responsible
ity rests now on three or four
citizens.
Noble countians, in general,
will be asked to aid the local
cause when the next March of
Dimes" campaign is held here in
January.

Each Postoffice
Accepts I unds In
Polio Campaign
Additional Funds
Being Raised To
Assist Victims

All postoffices in Noble
county are acting as receivers
for contributions to the nation
wide emergency polio epidemic
fund campaign and persons
wishing to give may send their
dimes or dollars to Polio, 20
Postoffice" in any community,
according to an announcement
made today by Rev. o. O. Will
son, chairman for this county.
Noble county has two polio
victims, Robert James Lori,
one-year old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert Lori, Sr., of Coal
Ridge, and Nancy Roberts,
six-year old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Junior Roberts, also
of the Coal Ridge community.
They are the first two cases
in Noble county for several
years, according to Chairman
Wilson.
Letters received at the Cald-
well or any other postoffice in
this county will be forwarded
to Cleveland. !.
Because of the urgency of the
need for additional funds, the
supplementary drive is being
handled in the quickest man
ner. The National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis, Inc, like
many local chapters, is rapidly
running out of funds due to the
heavy demand for aid this
year.
There is no goal for a county
or community, with everyone
invited to give whatever they
can for even dimes will count
this year, Rev. Wilson pointed
out today.
The current one-week drive
is in no way connected with
the annual March of Dimes
staged each January.
1t is expected that, as in the
past, Noble countians will res
pond to this cause and contri-
buttons will 60 forward from
this county to Cleveland to aid
the fight against polio and as
sist the already stricken VIC
Tins.

Grand Jurors
Return Eight
Indictments
Justice Works
In Reverse
For VarhOla

The Noble county grand jury,
after a drawn out two-day ses-
sion, returned eight true bills late
Tuesday evening. Two of the in
dictments were again Mike Var
hola, garageman, Belle Valley.
The findings against the Belle
Valley man were made on
charges of assault with intent to
wound and for exhibiting a slot
machine.
The other two indictments were
returned against Charles Roberts,
Coal Ridge, and Raymond Tren-
ner, Ava. Both were made on a
charge of breaking and entering
building with intent to steal
and commit larceny. The indict-
ments grew out of an affair in
which the two boys allegedly at
tempted to break into the Var
hola garage, last month.
The queer twist of justice took
place after the attorneys for
Roberts and Trenner filed the
charges late last week. In the at
tempted robbery, the Roberts
youth was shot in the leg while
fleeing from the scene of the
crime.
The opening of the fall term of
court was held at $50 Monday
morning but recessed Monday
afternoon after only half of the
witnesses were examined. The
jury returned early Tuesday and
returned eight true bills late
Tuesday evening. During the two
day session, twenty-seven wit
nesses were called in the eight
cases. Three cases were ignored
by the court. Four of the true
bills returned are of a secret ma
ture.
The court was Adjourned until
the call of the petit jury by the
court. This will porbably be late
next month.
Monday morning it was neces-
sary to excuse five jurors. Jurors
serving included: Homer Warner,
Edgar Cutler, A. H. Rich, Joseph
Wiley, Henry Holman, John Sny-
der, foreman, H. E. Miilhone,
Clarence Hutchins, Dean Raney,
Glen Layman. Talismen selected
to replace the five absentees
were Elva Nichols, j. w. Gulick,
Chloe Long, Lewis Bates and
CHARLES Clark.

ary structure maintained
over Duck Creek where the
new bridge is being con-
structed. 1t is said that the op-
ening of school was delayed
there because the insurance
company would not be respon-
sible for pupils hauled across
the old Road Fork bridge.
The contractors are strength
ening the old. bridge this week
but. in the meantime, the stud
ents are walking" over the
structure. They are being un-
loaded at the northeast ap-
proach and then picked up
again by the bus driver on the
opposite side.
The bus ride and walking
jaunt is expected to continue
only for a short time, during the
period of rebracing the bridge.
Construction of the new
bridge on State Route 285 en-
tered its final stage this week
when work was begun on the
approaches to the new struc-
ture. Work on this bridge was
resumed last week by the con-
tractors after a temporary lay
off caused by the construction
of the bridge in Elk township.
The Fenton Construction Co.
is in charge of this project. The
concrete floor is being poured
this week at the new bridge on
the Sarahsville road. Work was
actually started early this sum-
mer but held up because of a
shortage of structural steel.
According to unofficial sources,
the project should be complet-
ed by Sept. 80.
Actual work on the new
bridge in Elk township has
been suspended while the fin
ishing touches are being made
on the Caldwell Sarahsville
bridge.
State highway construction
crews have virtually completed
installation work on a bridge
and two culverts on State
Route 215. The road is again
open to the public although the
installation of bridge railing is
yet to be installed.

from the local garage, with the
coming of the fall season, are
winding up their summer long
cleanup campaign. Ditching
crews have completed. State

in the ditching of State Route
564..
The Jones contracting firm
has completed resurfacing op-
erations on State Route las

cording to officials, three con-
tract jobs calling for the seal
ing of routes 285, $40 and 670
are still unfinished. The con-

was made by the village coun-
Gil at their August meeting
upon the recommendation of
Paul Elwell, of Cleveland, who
is employed by the village to
expand the production capacity
of the electric plant.
Although the reduction in
electric rates is being welcomed
by local consumers, there is a
catch in the overall picture. A
new rate schedule has been set
up in the water department
which will raise the water rates
to business firms using over H.
600 gallons a month. The board
of affairs has instructed the viii
lage clerk to bill water users
monthly. This is the first time in
a number of years that this has
been done. In the past, residen-
tial users have been billed every
three months while only COM
mercial consumers have paid
their bills monthly.
Minimum Bill
Under the new electric rate
schedule, the minimum bill has
been reduced from one dollar to
fifty cents. A charge of five cents
per kilowatt will be charged for
the first kilowatt of power used.
For the next 40 XVIII, the charge
will drop to four cents per XIV.
Consumers will be charged at
the rate of "a cents for the next
l40 XVIII and all over 220 XIV
will cost the customer lis cents
for each XIV used.
Special Provision
A special provision has been
made for home owners who have
electric hot water heaters. Heat
ers, having. tank capacity of
30-49 gallons will purchase their
last 240 XIV of electricity for one
cent per XIV. Rate for tanks with
a capacity of 40-74 gallons will
be reduced to one cent for the
last $50 XVIII. Cugomers having
tanks with a capacity of rs gall
Ions or over will receive the one
cent rate for the last $40 XVIII.
Secondary Voltage
Where sixty cycle, single or
three phase, secondary and pri-
mary voltages are furnished, the
charge for the secondary voltage
for the first fifty XVIII per XIV
demand will be five cents for the
first 80 XVIII and four cents for
all over 80 XVIII. For the next
$50 XVIII per XIV demand, the
rate will be "a cents per XVIII
for the first 5000 XVIII and is
per XVIII for all over 5000. All
electricity used over 200 XVIII
per XIV demand the rate will be
reduced to one cent per XVIII.
In business establishments
where fluctuating loads are
prevalent and it is necessary to
install separate transformers to
supply service, the minimum
monthly charge will be one dol
lar per kva of the installed trans
former capacity.
Commercial Users
The commercial consumers
will probably be introduced to
demand meters for the first
time within the next two months.
The billing will be based on the
highest fifteen minute XIV de-
mand or. the highest registration
of thermal-type demand meter.
According to the report, no de-
mand can be less than five XIV.
The reduction in rates* will
probably cut the residential
consumers bill about one-fourth
according to estimates. In most
cases this savings will be about
