street intersections within the
village of Caldwell, might be
placing themselves in rather a
precarious predicament.
Several accidents have been
reported at street intersections,
and this is primarily attributable
to the lack of consideration the
drivers give to the mo parking
and stop" signs.
Additional signs have been
erected and eventually all street
intersections which create some
hazardous approach will be
marked. Night Officer Jack
Oliver likewise has been instruct
ed to be on the lookout for
Violators.
Trees To Be Cut
To eliminate the possibility of
some future accident, the two
huge trees on Cumberland street,
near the NIX store will be cut
down on the instructions of
Mayor Homer Johnson.
The work will be performed
by the village street crew. This
will be completed within the
week. According to Homer John

cording to Ira Pryor, treasurer

tenn of livestock raising and feed
ing at their recently renovated
barn, one mile of Caldwell, in

The Stringers purchased the
former sale barn from Lester
Timmons last September. The
southern side had to be COM
pletely rebuilt, the roof was re-
newed and a complete concrete
floor was laid with proper
drainage bitches. Running water
was piped to the barn from the
Caldwell light and water plant.
All necessary equipment for
mixing dry feed was installed
and also a conveyor for manure
removal.
At present, there are 88 cattle
being dry-fed at the barn. When
ready to go, they will be choice
to prime.
Wiley Stringer is the former
owner of the present Cleveland

Director Chester w. Goble an
nounced today.
Noble county's quota was set
at seven for this month, with %
for Athens, six in Guernsey, two
for Meigs, seven for Washington
and % for Muskingum.
This is nearly a so percent cut
over last months quota of 4,903.
Director Goble also said that
Ohio's quota would be adjusted
because of the liberalization of
the 37th Infantry division but
he didn't know just when.
This will mean another sharp

men from the state.

the citizens on New street, ex-

Three new lights will be in

in bringing about this long
awaited civic endeavor, are the
following councilmen: Carl

legal processes.
Several months ago the Dexter
City village council authorized
Mayor Blake to contact G. S.

survey of the proposed area. Fol
lowing the completion of
Browns assignment, the council
placed the matter into the hands
of Attorney L. c. Young, who
will submit the request before

1t is expected the matter will
receive immediate approval
from the county commissioners.
