FIRE LEvELSr2
LARGE BARNS Ar
MT. STERLING

Fire of undetermined origin, de-
stroyed two large barns on the
Max Douglas farm at the edge of
Mt. Sterling on State Route 277
Monday afternoon at 1;15. Loss
was estimated between $4,000
and $4,000; around S1.5GO on
farm tools and power equipment
in the buildings, the remainder on
the barns. sE
The larger of the barns, an old
frame building, is believed to have
been a school house at one time.
The other building was a tile
structure. In the two buildings
were farm equipment, various
tools but no hay or seed. One
Ford tractor was saved.
The Douglas farm of about 30
acres lies partly within the cor
poration and partly over the line
in Pleasant township.
The Mt. Sterling Fire Depart
ment answered the call. They were
unable to save the barns and spent
their efforts on saving the garage
next to the larger barn.
Mrs. Douglas is said to have dis
covered the fire.

Need Boost OF
20-25 Per Cent
Board Declares

The London Board of Public
Utilities has made a recommends
ton to the London City Council
that water rates be increased by
between twenty and twenty-five
percent. The utilities board mem
bership includes Bruce D. Lewis,
Bryan Jenkinson. and S. E. Rob-
ison. ees
A survey by the board shows
that approximately 45c of every
dollar of income goes toward the
cost of purchasing and paying for
the improved plant which now
serves soft water to all users. The
balance Of 55c of each income dol
lar is spent for operating costs, the
board said.
The board further explained
that the London council had orig
inally set proposed rates which
were but about S0re of those al
lowed the old water company by
the Utilities Commission of Ohio.
The outbreak of the Korean war
and the subsequent rising prices
has now made it mandatory that
rates be scaled upward to meet
the increased costs, it was said.
Another factor which was
brought out to show how costs
have increased since the original
proposal Is that the softening plant
cost $4,000 as compared with the
original S50,00O estimate. 1t was
pointed out that the original soft
cning plant was estimated to cost
about $50.0C0 but that by the time
it was ready to be built costs had
increased to $4,000 and that it
was only by eliminating several
important construction features
that the cost of the softening
plant was brought down to S76,-
0O0.
1t was further stated that i'm
come of the water plant under
private operation would have been
approximately $4,000 per year
but that the rate agreed upon at
the time of the purchase allows
but $72,0O0 in revenue, an amount
$4,000 per year less than that al
lowed by the utiiitics commission.
Thus. it was said, the proposed
increase will cost the consumer no
more than it would have if the
plant had remained in private
ownership.

Copies of the order were also
directed to Prosecutor +. (.
Sidener, Jr.,, and members of the
Board of County Commissioners.
The board, under Ohio Law,
may order a reassessment of the
real property, or any class in any
district or subdivision thereof,
when in its opinion, such property
has been unequally or Improperly
assessed, to the end that all clas-
ses of property in such district
shall be assessed u compliance
with the law.
Order of the board was sssucd
following a hearing with Madison
county officials March Is. Sinilsr
hearings wcr1 conducted. or will
be conducted, Sith officials OF all
counties Of t1= state.
In issuing the order on Madi-
son county the board listed the
following findings, with respect 10
reappraisal:
l. The valuation of real pro-
perty in Madison County in the
year 1911 was $50, 168, ,375.00
2. That the predepression value
of real-property in the year 1925
was S32. $1,000, in the year
1926, S3l, ,965, 10000; in the year
1927, S31, ,905, ,702.o0; and in the
year 1928, S31, ,eO8, 10000.
3. Valuation were reduced in
the years 1929, 1881, 1882. and
1888, the total reduction being
$15, los. 10000 or 470496 less than
the 1925 valuation
4. Small increases were made
in the years 1887, 1943, and 1919
5. The valuation Of real pro-
perty as reported on the Abstract
OF Real Property for the year
1851 was $26,4l2,640.00. This val
uation is being used as tho base
for collecting taxes in the year
1852 and is S5,571, ,315.o0 or
17.42It less than the average val
uation for the four years 1925 TO
1923, inclusive.
g. At a hearing held on March
1S, 1882, with the county auditor
for the purpose of discussing the
assessed valuation of real pro-
perty in Madison County, the
county auditor was furnished in
formation in regard 10 the level
of tax assessments on the 1851
tax list and duplicate based upon
data collected on sales in Madi-
son County. There appears to be
2 lack OF uniformity in the val-
uation of different classes of pro-
perty in the various taxing dis
tricts, and that percentage in
crease on all types of property
within the various subdivisions
would not cqualize property as
and would aggrsvate
the present inequalities.
