ed the completion of the new light

their institution which represents
both good judgment, planning and
cooperation. The new lights give
an effect of daylight inside the
rooms and are controllable so that
any section of the rooms that need
the extra light can be given it.
About 80 new members were
enrolled in the P.-T.A. and a size

Owners Must List
New Construction
To Avoid Penalty

All new construction in Madison
County must be listed with the
county auditor, according to latest
information relative to tax ap-
praisals here under the revised
Ohio Code, section 5712-17. All
buildings or other construction
costing in excess of 5000 on any
land in a township or municipal
corporation must be listed with
the county auditor within so days
after construction commences, it
was said.
Failure to comply with the law
provides that the auditor, upon
discovery of such building or i'm
provement after completion, shall
appraise said property and place a
penalty of so percent for each year
after date of construction. The law
covers all individuals, company,
partnership or otherwise except
railroads and public utilities whose
property valuation is computed
separately, it was said.
Notice of construction must be
made in writing and contain a
cost estimate and a description of
the land and ownership thereof.
according to the revised law.
The state tax commission has
advised that since Madison County
has completed the equalization of
real estate values, that it will not
be necessary to conduct a reap
praisal in 1855 if new construction
is added to the tax duplicate on a
current basis.
The work of listing new con-
struction is now in charge of one
full time Deputy in the Auditors
office, who is equipped with copies
OF all the appraisal formulas used
by the Cole-Layer-T -Trumble Co. in
the 1852 appraisal, so that the
same general yardstick is being
applied to the appraisal of new
construction as was used in the
1852 appraisal.
Approximately S20OO00.OO in
new construction was added to the
1858 duplicate, which was COM
pleted after the 1852 appraisal and
before the listing date in 1853.
There are at the present time
approximately 300 buildings of
various types under construction
the majority of which will be COM
pleted and added to the 1854 dun
Hcate. These are all listed as to
location and type and in our file
as "Under-Construction." Auditor
Forrest Hanson said.

Wheat Prices Set At s2.2O
By Government For 1854

Farmers of this community
were assured of getting at least
S220 per bushel for their 1854
wheat crop when the Agriculture
Dept. announced their price sup
port last week.
Wheat is one of the six basic
crops which are under mandatory
800 federal supports. Other
crops are cotton, corn, peanuts,
tobacco and rice. The 1854 wheat
price was based on 900 of the
August Is wheat parity price of
$2.45.
Farmers whom were interview
ed in this locality seemed to be
we'll pleased with the 1854 wheat
price set by the government, but
several stated that they did not
like the idea of having to obey
all other crop allotments to be
eligible for the support price. For
the first time this year, farmers
VINO want to qualify for the
wheat support price must also
comply with acreage allotments
on the other basic commodity
crops. The ruling will also apply
to the other five basic commod-
tiles, according to the official re-
port.
1t was pointed out that should
the wheat price rise by next July,
(Which is very unlikely to hap
pen) the support price will then
go up proportionately. However,
the price cannot go below the set
price of 1920 per bushel.
Farmers here as well as
throughout the United States are
hoping for a heavy rainfall to
establish the needed moisture to
get their fall seeding off to a
good start. In general, the gov
ernment officials say, there is
grave need of rain before fall
planting conditions can be very
favorable. Farmers here will be
ready to plant wheat earlier than
usual but most of them will wait
TO. the fly date and in event we
do not get rain many of them
will wait until they can get their
ground in proper condition after
the fall rains do come.

District Heads
Made Responsible
Under New Order

District Directors of Internal
Revenue have been authorized by
Internal Revenue Commissioner T.
Coleman Andrews to serve appro-
pirate notices on persons who have
not maintained, for the purpose of
correctly reporting taxes, records
as required by law and regulations,
Director Nathaniel LOCKER said to-
day.
I'm the case of the average tax
payer the keeping of such records
is not at all difficult" Director
Looked stated, but ! do want to
point out at this time that such
records must be kept. Those tax
payers who have not done so
should start now getting their can
celled checks, invoices, bills, re-
ceipts and other evidence of in
come and expenses together so
they will be prepared to file their
income tax forms well before the
deadline next March Is.
Although the Internal Revenue
District Office will do everything
it can to help taxpayers fill out
forms properly and to answer
their questions in the next few
months we will have much more
time to be helpful in January and
February than we will when the
early March rush arrives" the Di-
rector added.
Most people should have no diff
ficulty in filling out their tax
forms properly if they have kept
simple records or have other evil
dence of income and expenses and
will read carefully the instructions
which will accompany the tax
forms when they are ready for dis
tribution about December Is at
the District Office here, he ex-
planned.
However, for those who do
have questions they can't answer
from the instructions, we will
have agents available in this Of
flee for personal interviews and to
answer telephone inquiries" he
said. Some taxpayers will have
