State Tax Board
Forces Properly
Revaluaiion Here
Suit Filed On
Monday In State
Supreme Court

The Noble County Commis-
Sioners have been advised by
Attorney General C. William
ONeill that the Board of Tax
Appeals for the state has filed
petition with the Supreme
Court of Ohio, compelling the
board of commissioners of this
county to appropriate the sum
of $4,000 for the use of the
county auditor in making a gen.
eral reappraisal of real property
in the county.
Commissioners w. G. Toad
Davis and Charles Rayner ignor-
ed the letter which they received
from the state and since no reply
was made as of high noon on
Monday, August 27, it has been
assumed that the petition was
filed for necessary court action.
Commissioners Davis, in COM
me ting on the action of the
state board of tax, said:
"Are we serving the people
of Noble county or the state of
Ohio. 1t has been estimated that
98 percent of the people in this
county are behind us in our
stand, yet from all indications,
the state is forcing us to hold
another reappraisal. The law
states that we shall hold a re-
appraisal every six years. We
have complied with that law and
intend to stand pat"
1t will be remembered that
Commissioner haywood Love is
recuperating from a major
operation and will be unable to
attend any meetings for at least
another month.
The Noble county reappraisal
was held two years ago with the
appraisals coming from every
township and village in the
county. But the state said their
reappralSement was too low and
there should be more equaliza-
ton of property value in the
county.
With this in mind, the state
board of tax appeals has order
ed that another reappraisal be
taken. But the commissioners
have Steadfastly refused to do
so.
The state has now taken its
only other recourse and thru
law, they plan to force another
reappraisal.
The commissioners said today
that they would appropriate
the money but only, if and when,
the court so orders.

to use in the local school.
Vocal music will be taught in
each grade and choruses will be
organized in the high school for
all who are interested. Of course,
the usual attention will be given
to the band which sets for all
of the school high standard of
excellence.
Art will be taught to the
seventh grade the first semester
and to the eighth grade the
second semester. Grade teachers
will teach art and handicraft to
their pupils.
A class in prepared speech will
be offered to juniors. Supt. Can
navan said they expect to have
a debate team, individual speech
events will be sponsored and
dramatics will be a part of the
school program.
It has been estimated follow
ing the registration that the
total enrolment for the school
will be $40 students, with 270
in the grade schools and 270 in
the high school.
This represents an increase in
enrolment with a more gradual
increase expected from now on.

auditor of Noble county has
supplied the group, upon request,
with the cost to each taxpayer in
the event a bond issue would be
floated in the amount of $50,-
10000 on a countrywide basis.
Auditor Wilson writes: with
the current value of a property
on the duplicate for $500, it
would cost Mr.. Taxpayer $3.50
year for five years of $780,"
In other words, Auditor Will
son says it would cost $100 for
each $1,000 valuation. 1t is esti-
mated that over so percent of
the people of Noble county
would pay approximately $1,000
over period of five years for
their share in providing the
county with memorial park.
What greater satisfaction
could a civic, patriotic-minded
person have than in knowing
that for this paltry sum, a need
ed memorial could be secured to
honor the county's war dead and
serve as a living tribute to the
men and women who unselfishly
served their country in a time
of great need?
We believe the time has ar
rived when action is necessary
to bring about this desired and
necessary county project.
Write your local paper, express
your sentiments to the county
commissioners and to members
of the Noble County Agricultural
Society. The people of Noble
must decide for them
selves the course of action to be
followed.

plenty of thrill rides for the
young and old.
From all indications, the speed
program on Friday and Saturday
afternoons will be super for

horses already at the fairgrounds
with several more to come in
on Friday morning from
Pennsboro, w. Va. Most of the
horses started arriving Tuesday

still arriving on Thursday.
The unusually large number of
horses indicates a good racing
program on both Friday and Sat-
urday afternoons, the races to be

be $1,500.00 in purse money on
Friday and $1,000 on Saturday,

Route 81 To Be
Completed Soon

The dedication of the new
state highway garage, south of
Caldwell, will be held sometime
in October, according to state
ment made today by Superinten-
dent of Highways, J. E. Douglas.
All will be completed with the
exception of heating units to be
finished and electric wiring TO
be completed, The heating
system in the repair shop of the
new garage is unusual with a
series of pipes running through
the floor of the repair shop. The
main part of the garage will have
radiator fans which will circu-
late steam heat.
Local forces are grading the
yard and shade trees will be
moved back on the lawn in front
of the building.
The blaektop surface on route
81, Caldwell to Belle Valley, will
be completed this week. The
berms will be raised to the level

and the people of Noble county
will Fundamentally support the
issue.
At this very moment that
movement is on, and a comment
from interested citizens will add
tremendously to the effort. To
accomplish a project that would
incorporate every phase of re-
creation that the county should
provide for its people, requires
a great deal of promotion.
There are many approaches a
person could view in regard to
the establishing of a memorial
park in Noble county. First, one
must consider the advantage of
a desirable site where all would
benefit equally. 1t has been ad-
vanced that the Noble county
fairgrounds would provide the
ideal location. This has been
favorably considered by the
group and members of the Noble
County Agricultural Society
have been contacted for their
opinions.
From the president. Norris
Bigley, we were given the salts
faction that the society would
meet in special session and dis
cuss the proposed project. Other
members have expressed them
selves most favorably and in
sympathy with the memorial
park project. 1t is expected that
a meeting will be held immedi-
ately following the fair and a
decision will be made at that
time.
Naturally one ponders on the
cost of such project where
in a park, playground and swim
ming pool could be provided. The

Other crewmen in the truck
were Fred Anderson and Donald

only minor injuries.
Denton Woods, driver of the
truck and brother of the victim,
told investigating officials that
the crew had driven up on the
BERN to unload telephone equip
ment. He said that without warn
ing, the truck began sliding
down the steep embankment.
Supt. Knox said the contract
crew was employed by the

in the Waterford area for the
Oh ass iated telephone COM
