Real Estate Tax
DeadIine July 70

Roger D. Counts, Madison Coun-
ty Treasurer, reports that tax col
lections for the last half of 1854 on
real estate taxes show that there
is going to be quite a last minute
rush if they are to be equal to the
December collection. There are
about ten days before the books
will close, and after that date, a
10 percent penalty will be added.
The December collection here
amounted to S46S, ,923.23, and to
date for June, there has been col
lected only S297. .387.90. If the
collected is to equal that of Decem-
ber, there will be some rushing
around as that means $171,535.3 .33
must be paid in the next 10 days.
Mr.. Counts reports that the pub
lie utilities, paying their taxes in
the last few days, help swell the
total, but that there are also many
individual taxes yet to be paid.
Don't forget that the final date
for payment without penalty has
been extended only to July 20,
1855.

New Ohio Law Effects Administration
OF Elections For Public Benefit

Secretary of State Ted w. Brown
today hailed as highly beneficial
legislation, Amended Senate Bill
220, enacted by the 101st General
Assembly, which was signed into
law by the Governor.
Brown, who worked closely with
Boards of Elections officials in pre-
pairing the measure and carefully
followed its course through the
Legislature, said, Many of the
changes will mean a greatly in
creased efficiency in the admins
tration of elections in Ohio and
many of the provisions in the new
laws will bring direct benefits to
the public, as we'll"
He cited, as an example, the
elimination of municipal-wide Pri-
mary Elections where the only con-
test with party is for Councilman
from ward. BY holding Primaries
in only those wards where a con-
test develops, thousands of dollars
will be saved the taxpayers over
the years, Brown said.
The bill was sponsored by Sena-
tors Oakley c. Collins of Lawrence
County and Ross Pepple of Allen
County; and by Representatives
Kenneth F. Berry, Coshocton
County; Louis ]. Schneider, Hamil-
ton County; Ralph H. Colegrove,
Jr., Butler County; and John j.
Lynch, Mahoning County. The Leg
islative Committee of the Ohio AS
sociation of Election Officials met
numerous times with Mr.. Brown in
canvassing suggested legislation.
The bill passed with only three
dissenting votes in the Senate and
one in the House.
Among other highlightS in the
new law are:
Elimination of elections for short.
unexpired terms for county offices.
If the term is to end within one
year after election, no election viii
be held.

accidents on Sunday.
