NEW YORK R-- Business once

Tax Bill Error
Causes Trouble
Treasurer Explains
Special Assessment"

December tax bills are causing
much CONSERVATION among tax
payers here due to the fact that
tax of 3 tenths of l mill, levied by
the Scioto-Sandusky Conservancy
District, is listed on the tax bills
as special assessment" Treas
urer Roger Counts explained that
the forms have no place provided
on them to list what the tax is for
and, consequently, many persons
are questioning the special assess
ment" which is really not a special
tax.
The Scioto-Sandusky Conserv-
ancy District levied similar tax
in 1947 and this is the second and
last of such levies as permitted
under the provisions of the Con-
servancy Act of Ohio.
The Conservancy Act was pass
ed by the Ohio Legislature in 1914
following the disastrous 1913 flood
and provided for the Conservancy
Districts which were set up in 1884
The Scioto-Sandusky District is
now a corporate body with per-
petual existence, with power to
sue and be sued and with the
power of taxation and assessment,
it was said.
The money collected from the
tax amounted to approximately
$250,000 in 1947 while the amount
collected this year is expected to
bring some S300,000.. The money
collected from the present assess
ment is not to be used for con-
struction of dams or other projects
and will be used to pay prelimin-
ary expenses only. The cost of dam
construction will be borne by those
who directly benefit from such
construction, when and if it is done
and will be directly proportioned
among those who benefit from
such project, it was said.
1t is believed that such con-
struction may come from the fed
eral government and that the Con-
servancy plan may be abandoned
inasmuch as the Rocky Fork de-
velopment was completed at fed
eral expense. Both the Muskingum
and Miami District programs were
done with federal funds, it was
pointed out.

Mrs. Ruff Says
Doesn't Remember
Shooting Husband
First Degree Murder
Charged In Homicide

ClRCLEVILLE, o. LRp-Prose-
cutor William Ammer today said
he planned to file first-degree
murder charges against Mrs. Mary
Agnes Ruff, 35, in the fatal shoot
ing of her husband.
Ammer said the charges would
be filed in Pickaway County Com
mon Pleas Court later today.
Mrs. Ruff, mother of three, was
picked up in Columbus Thursday.
several hours after her 34-year-old
husband, Daniel E. was shot in the
Ruff farm home two miles north
of South Bloomfield.
Sheriff Charles Radcliff of Pick
away County said Mrs. Ruff said
she did mot remember fatally
shooting" her husband. She told
Radcliff if she did kill her hus-
band it was done in a wild night
mare in which she dreamed her
husband and mother-in-law were
chasing her through the house with
a gun.
Mrs Ruff said she and her hus-
band quarreled Wednesday night
and that he slapped her, Sheriff
Radcliff said.

Commissioners Turn Down
Board Of Health Proposal
Lack Of Extra
Funds May Cause
Cut Backs

The Madison County Commits
sioners, in joint session Monday
with the Board of Health and
members of the Health Depart
men, turned down a request for
$4,000 in additional funds which
were said to be necessary to oper-
ate the County Health Depart
ment. The Health Department is
now costing approximately $4,000
per year, it was brought out.
Health Commissioner, Robert
Vogei, said that his office showed
a deficit of $1,284 in 1852 and ex-
poets a deficit of around $4,000 in
1853 Vogel stated that the ex-
penses of the health program here
are going up and that cut-backs
would be necessary unless addi-
tional funds are forthcoming.
The commissioners stated that
the health program is not their
responsibility inasmuch as the
township trustees provide funds for
the health program. The commits
sioners cannot, under the law,
transfer funds to the health de-
partment, it was said. They do,
however, have a fund to pay hos
pitalization of tuberculosis patients
where necessary, but declined to
turn these funds over to the Board
of Health at the suggestion of
Vogel, stating that the funds were
part of the yearly budget and were
for a specific purpose.
Mention was made of raising
salaries of health department en-
ployees and it was brought out
that several of the health depart
ment personnel were earning more
than the county auditor who re-
ccives S240O per year.
The Township Trustees had in
creased the Health Department
budget $1,000 which covered the
1852 deficit. The expected $1,000
deficit for 1853 will cause the
health department to cutback its
several programs, Vogel said.
Vogel then asked the Commits
sioners to levy an additional tax
to cover the deficit but the request
was refused. The Commissioners
stated that Clark, Fayette and
Delaware counties were in debt as
the result of this sort of financing
and that Madison county is free OF
debt and intends to run under the
actual appropriation for the COM
ing year.
The commissioners said, how
ever, that should unexpected mon
les come in during the year, they
would reconsider the matter at
that time.

$4,000 were class "A" Receipts for
