Caldwell Property Owners
Will Get Tax Reduction
Caldwell School
District Owners
70 Reap Benefit
Auditor C. B. Long
Announces Cut Of
1.50 Mills In Tax

Real estate property own
ers in the Caldwell exempted
village school district receiv-
ed welcome news today from
Noble County Auditor Gill
bert B. Long that they would
be paving less taxes in 1854
when the annual tax collec-
ticn opens.
Auditor Long appeared before
the state tax commission last
week and urged the reduction
in taxes for this community, due
to the greater valuation Of the
district.
The state tax commission ap-
proved a rate of 1870 mills for
the Caldwell school district
which is 1.50 mills less than the
property owners paid in 1852.
Caldwell property owners
should appreciate this reduction
even more when it is pointed out
that residents of BateSville will
be paying the highest tax in the
county. 1t is listed at 1880 for
1853.
Auditor Long said that the
average county millage would be
17.75 and the lowest in Noble
county will be Brookfield town
ship where the tax will be only
1890 mills.
Auditor Long also said that
the reduction of property tax
for Caldwell was also due to the
retirement of several outstand-
ing bonds.
Batesville corporation has
always been paying the highest
tax rate in Noble county for
several years.
This is due to the fact that the
village council uses about z mills
for the street lighting in the
community and other current
expenses of the village.
In addition the Beaver school
district last year approved a
bond issue for $4,000 to repair
and rebuild their high school
and this will add in the neigh
borhood of approximately 5.3
mills.
Treasurer A. R. Hicks is now
preparing the new rates of taxa
ton for Noble county and they
will be published in December.
Opening of the 1854 real estate
tax collection in Noble county
for the first half of the 1858 tax
will probably be in February or
March and possibly earlier. The
dates will be set by the state tax
commission.

johnson Cannot
Qualify For Seat
On Town Council
Board Of Elections
Will Not Issue An
Election Certificate

The Noble county board Of
elections said today that they
would not issue a certificate of
election to Carl johnson, who
picked up 423 votes in his bid
for a seat on the council, village
of Caldwell.
The board of elections con-
tend that Johnson. a member of
council, moved outside the cor
poration limits of Caldwell and
for this reason he is not able to
serve.
The election board will Of
ficially notify the council and
they in turn must recommend to
Mayor Homer Johnson, a can
didate to fill this vacancy. The
appointment rests with the coun-
Gil members and not Mayor
Johnson. If after 80 days, the
council does not recommend a
member, the mayor then has the
power to make an appointment.
Johnson'S name was on the
ballot in the Nov. election.
This would be a wonderful
opportunity for the council to
get cross representation on the
board. 1t is a we'll known fact
that Caldwell is growing indus
trially, as well as the entire Ohio
Valley, but there is no one with
an industrial background on the
council.
Emil Barnett, Donald D.
Nichols and Gerald Hayes are
all three merchants. James
Johnson and Dwight F. Wiley
are employees of company.
This leaves a vacancy which
should be filled by an indus
trialist.
With the industrial growth of
the community in the years to
come, it has been suggested that
Joseph Giallombardo, manager
of Cozier Container Corp, be
appointed in this capacity.
A resident of Caldwell for the
past seven years, Giallombardo
is we'll qualified to sit on the
council and would give this
board, an industrial knowledge
background which will even
tually be so necessary.

Otherwise the council will pass a resolution

The main reason that Caldwell still has water Is
the fact that Mayor Johnson started several months ago

paying off dividends.

APPEAL TO WATER USERS

APPEAL TO WATER USERS
The people of our town are
taking 100000 gallons of water
daily from our water supply and
not one drop going into it. 1t
is only question of how long
we are going to have water. One
big fire could use all the surplus
we have. Now it is I'm to the
people of Caldwell to either con-
serve or be without water. This
is the third time we have asked
for this conservation, and prac-
ticaIIy all of the people are CO.
operating. Only a few have de-
fled the appeal and say they are
paying for the water and will
use it as they see fit. 1t is not
a matter of paying for the water,
it is having water. The VILLAGE
Council feels that the good citi-
zens will not, and others must
not use water for unnecessary
purposes. Unless the town gets
full cooperation on conserving,
the Council will be compelled to
pass a Resolution inflicting a
very heavy fine, and discOntinu-
ance of water to the viOlatOr.

Burlingame pointed out that
this was about nine inches below
normal, resulting in a critical
shortage of water supply for
Caldwell and the rural COM
munities, where it has been
necessary to haul water for
stock, etc, for many weeks.
There is no indication of any
rain in the near future and the
outlook is anything but good.
Conserving of water is now
an absolute necessity in Cald-
well and Mayor Homer Johnson
said today that local residents
have been cooperating very we'll
for the past two months.
1t may be necessary that even
more strict measures will be
taken in the very near future.
