March OF Dimes
Campaign Underway

The 1851 March of Dimes CAM
paign was officially launched in
Noble County, Monday of this
week, and will continue thru to
Wednesday, January 81.
Chairman Fred Fox said today
that S1,936.50 was spent on Noble
County's only two polio victims
during 1949 and 1850. They were
Robert Lori and Nancy Roberts
of the Coal Ridge community.
This amount has practically
depleted the local fund and citi-
zens are asked to contribute
generously in order that the
balance might be built up.
The past three devastating
years of the worst polio epidem-
les in history have also wiped
out patient care funds of the
National Foundation for Infan-
tile Paralysis and left unpaid
bills of $5,000,000.
With the local and national
picture the same, il is hoped that
the 1851 March of Dimes CAM
paign here will go over the top.

Expect Action On
Reappraisemeni
Auditor Jack Wilson
Called To Columbus

The long anticipated show
down on reappraisal of Noble
county real estate may reach the
crisis stage this week. The state
board of tax appeals, Columbus,
in a special letter to the county
commissioners and Auditor Jack
Wilson, has requested their pre-
sence in Columbus today, Thurs
day, for the purpose of discus
sing the valuation of real estate
here and the desirability of a
complete reappraisal.
After much delay, the tax
board has approved the tax rates
for Noble county and the col
lection of the first half or jan
uary tax will begin soon. For a
time it appeared that the board
would reject the rates turned in
on Noble county real estate and
demand a reappraisal, although
this would have left the county
without any local tax monies
In the letter to the county
cornfnie sioners and the county
auditor, Edward ]. Kirwin,
chairman of the board said, "You
are hereby requested to appear
before the board of tax appeals,
Room 1912, Ohio Department
Building, 65 South street, Col
umbus, Ohio, on Thursday, jan
uary 18, 1851, at 1000 a. m, for
the purpose of discussing with
the board of tax appeals the
valuation on real estate in your
county and the desirability of
a complete reappraisal therein"
Auditor Jack Wilson left
Thursday morning to attend the
meeting. From all indications,
the commissioners had no inten-
tions of attending the meeting.

Noble County Treasurer Ira
Pryor said today that the tax
books for Noble County would
probably not open until the lat
ter part of February or the first
of March. This will represent the
payment of the first half of 1850

The rates of taxation were

state department of taxation and
this in turn will delay the tax
collection in the county.

that regular school periods
would have to be interrupted,

will be divided in half. One
group will attend school in the
morning and the other group in
the afternoon. All teachers will
assist in the teaching duties
