clined and that Of the independ-
ents grew. q new effort was made
to form more all-inclusive drives.
The first major effort-and still
the pace setter for all others
was the Torch Drive" launched
by the United Foundation of
Detroit in 1919. 1t has set new
records every year, raising $14.2
million last year, or more than
twice what was raised the last
year before its formation.
The key to its success was
agreement of employers and la
Dor unions that only the United
Fund could solicit contributions
in Detroit's industrial plants.
The big independent charities
had to join.

The movement spread rapidly
Wherever United Funds were set
up, the national independents
have tended to cooperate. with
certain reservations.
The Red Gross reserved the
right to appeal to sources of
revenue outside the plants dur
ing the spring. BY early 1855,
Red Cross policy went further
and allowed local chapters to

chapter retains control Of its own

The United Fund movement

fort to consolidate community
money-raising. It is succeeding
the Community Chests which
first grew strong during World
War I, got a new impetus during
World War II, but since then
have declined in collections.
A major factor in their decline
appears to have been competition
from other newly formed chari-
table organizations m akin g
highly effective public appeals
outside the Community Chest
programs.
With these indepedent drives
growing. public demand has also
grown for a new organization
to accomplish what was the
original purpose of the Commu-
nifty Discrimination Of fund
raising and consequent reduc-
ton Of the number of appeals.
Offer Answer
United Funds have offered to
supply the anwser.
One of the limits of Commu-
nifty Chests has been that they
were essentially declarations Of
local agencies, calling on local
citizens to support local serv-
ices. National agencies. for the
most part. preferred to remain
outside the Chests.

Cross. for example. additionally

in the nation are covered by some type of
life insurance.
Noble county residents have their full
quota of it. Their $l6,650,000 represents an
average of 50, ,76O per family.
The survey, the first detailed, nation
wide tally ever made in the industry, dis
closes that 80 percent of men and 70 per-
cent of women in the urban population have
life insurance In rural areas it drops to II
percent of the men and So percent of the
women.
Income has great deal to do with it.
There appears to be a remarkably close rela-
tionship between level of income and amount
of insurance held
According to Life Insurance Fact Book,
the coverage per family is now nearly 112
times it's annual income
Ordinary life insurance and group in
surance are the varieties owned by a
majority of policy holders. Ordinary leads

type.

How we'll are residents of Noble county
protected by life insurance? To what extent
are they covered? What form of insurance
do most of them hold?
There has been a marked expansion of
life insurance locally during recent years.
People have been putting more of their
increasingly available cash into broadening
the base of family security and protection.
AS of the beginning of this year, local
ownership of life insurance reached the
grand total of $16,650,000, according to a
breakdown made of a survey conducted by
the University of Michigan's Survey Re-
search Center.
The local volume has kept pace with a
rise in ownership noted for all sections of
the country. Nationally, it amounted to 11.6
percent since 1854. The range was from 9.3
percent to 1876.
Just how large thrift and protection
program the American people have built
up over the years is gathered from the fact
that they now have over 1878 billion salted
away in life insurance. Nearly 115,000,00O

on the utility property concerned. They are
not lien against property and do not
require vote of the electorate but may be
voted upon authority of the village council.
These bonds may run for 80 years
There is no legal limit on the amount
of mortgage revenue bonds that may be sold,
the restrictions being those Of economics and
prudence and an appraisal of the service
charges than can be or will be acceptable to
the users of the system
The portion OF project expense charge
able to the treatment plant, life station and
interceptor sewers is $175,000. 1t is proposed
that this amount of bonds of the mortgage
revenue type be sold. Retirement of these
bonds, as we'll as the costs of operation and
maintenance, may be borne by income from
sewer rental.
The remainder of the total cost is
$37l 900 and it must be borne jointly by
special assessments and general taxation.
Approximately 80 percent or 100000 of
special assessment bonds would require
authorization leaving the remainder of
$1,000 as general obligation bonds
The debt limitation of five percent
applied to the Caldwell valuation of $2448,-

in equal annual principal installments, plus
interest Therefore, the first year debt re-
tirement cost would be II ,OOI25 or $284O.OO
plus interest on $1,000, which at 31s per-
cent equals $2,485.00 for a total of $685. co.
This amounts to $2.l4 per $1,000 valuation
of the taxable property.
Total front footage without intersec-
tions, on the plan shown, is approximately
44,30O feet. The average annual cost of re-
firing $3O0,00O in 20 years at 312b interest
is $2l,l10. This amounts to $0.476 per front
foot per year.
The average annual assessment costs as
a whole, based on the real estate portion of
the tax duplicate of $l,644,45O amounts to
$l2.83/$1,000 valuation.
Auditor c. R. Atkinson has figured that
the $1,000 bond issue would amount to 1.e
mills or $160 per thousand dollar valuation
The tax rate in Caldwell is now 1890 and
this would increase it to 21.50 for the initial
cost of such a sewage treatment plant.
A sewage plant would be wonderful
progressive step for Caldwell and certainly
would be in line, as far as progress is con
cerned
AT some future date, it might mean tht
difference in our current industrial expan
sion.
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1956-08-16

Voters in the village of Caldwell will
have bond issue of $71 900 placed before
them at the general election to determine
whether they want a modern sewage system
in the community as specified by law or be
content with their present pollution system.
The professional survey completed in
1854 listed the entire cost of such a sewage
system at $546,000 but it is believed now that
the actual cost would be nearer $700,000
Just how would such an expensive pro-
ject be paid for in community the size Of
Caldwell is the leading question which the
property owners are now asking themselves.
And of course they would come up with
the right answer if they believe that they,
as property owners, will be eventually foot
ing most of the bill.
But there is now a Federal public law
$50, known as the Water Pollution Control
Act, which contains provisions for assistance
to municipalities wishing to construct sew
age purification facilities
Should the property owners of Caldwell
show they have faith in desiring such sew
age system in their community by approx
ing the $1,000 bond issue, then the federal
government would step in with federal
funds.
The Public Law $50 authorizes federal
funds to be used in this program but they
have yet to be appropriated by the Congress
before the program can become fully opera
tive.
But Congressman Henderson has assured
Mayor Donald D. Nichols that he will do
everything possible to aid the village of Cald-
well in securing these Federal funds should
it become necessary in their sewage plant
construction.
Costs of the sewers at intersections must
be paid for by the political subdivision as a
whole plus minimum of two percent of the
cost for which special assessments are to be
levied. Special assessment bonds may be
issued for not over 20 years.
General obligation bonds may also be
used for financing sewer projects. The debt
limitation in Ohio is five percent of the tax
duplicate for voted bonds and one percent
of the duplicate for unvoted bonds
The survey said that inasmuch as the
entire town will be benefited by such an
Improvement, there is logic in allocating
part Of the expense to all property in the
village. This type of security may be sold
for full maturity period of not more than
rs years.
Mortgage revenue bonds may be used to
finance sewage treatment plants and inter-
ceptor sewers. AS the name~.implies, such
bonds are retired by income realized from
sewer rental and are secured by mortgage

In something over 220 days,
the past Congress spent 2,198
hours in debates which filled

Congressional Record. 1t pro-
duced 85l new public laws and

While this kind of box score
affords some indication of the
activity on Capitol Hill, the
statistics are misleading since
they do not provide any analysis

A PROBLEM FOR
ALL AMERICA

The 1855 Supreme Court de-
cision ordering integration in
public schools, has raised one
of the most vital issues in the
history of our nation. Those
for or against the decision
have, for the most part, not
contributed to Qualification of
the issue. The federal govern
ment, conscious of an election
in November, has tried to steer
a middle course. And no one
has really done anything to
correct the rapacity of the Su-
preme Court in reaching for
power taken from the States
and assumed by the federal
government.
