Rowzee.
The current real estate levy is
1926 per 800 evaluation on real
estate and SAT on personal
property.
Action similar to that taken
by the County Board has already
been voted by School Board
members, who added 100000 to
Supt. T. Edward Rutter's recon-
mended budget for the 1861
year. The superintendent's $9.6
million budget called for a o.
cent increase and the 500, 900
addition raises this figure to 25
cents.
The new proposed tax rate
hikes would set the real estate
levy at $371 and 1892 on per-
sonal property.

by law to build the fish struc-
lures in the dam.
Cites Moral Obligations
Senator Butler asserts that
this may be SO in the strict legal
Interpretation. 1t does not, bow
ever. relieve the engineers of
their moral obligation, he says.
In answer to this. Col. Adams
replies that the existing dam has
effectively barred the passage of
migrating fish for more than 100
years. For nearly two decades,
moreover, the old dam has been
under jurisdiction of the Inter-
ior Department, the agency of
which the Fish and Wildlife
Service is a part.
The Senator waves this argu-
ment aside. First, he said, he
questions the materiality of the
point. Furthermore, he adds,
World War II prevented con-
struction- of fishWays in the
present dam, and just after the
war the engineers started PLAN
ming the new dam.
Stresses Concern
On top of it all, as Senator
Butler stated in recent letter
to the Commissioners, II must
confess my concern over the
stress you place upon what the
law requires rather than upon
what you are authorized to do
in the best interests of the pub
lic." -
And, he wrote: 1T seems to
me that it is only fair for the
District water consumer to pay
for the fishways since the dam
is being constructed for his
benefit, and since the f1shways
are necessary to minimize the
disturbance to fish life caused
by the construction of the dam. +"
Senator Butler calls attention
to that section of the Fish and
Wildlife report warning that the
Potomac fish species are losing
ground" to industry and develop
ment.
Sport, Food Factor Cited
This decrease in the face of
constantly increasing demand for
them as food and sport should
not be compounded by failure to
provide adequate provisions at
the proposed new dam for access
to the 10 miles of suitable
spawning area above" the report
asserted.
The Service recommended that
one f1shway be built Immediately
where the dam crosses Snake
Island near the Maryland shore.
Provision would be made for a
second fishway close to the Vir-
ginia shore should the travelling
fish population be to great for
one fishway.
Col. Adams and his staff
many of whom are avid fisher
men-say they are entirely in
favor of conserving fish life. The
objection stems from the not in
considerable expense of building
the delicately designed concrete
ramps with their system of
battles to slow the water and
keep it deep enough for the fish
to swim over the eight to 10-foot
water drop created by the dam.
Also, channels through the old
dam would probably have to be
built.
The Engineers feel that the
cost should be borne, not by the
District alone. but by some COM
bination of agencies such as the
Interior Department with pro-
portionate shares by the States
of Maryland and Virginia and
the District.

5 Per Cent Increase Seen
Sound estimates, however,
indicate that improved and ex-
panded spawning waters for the
fish would increase the harvesta-
BILE stock by a minimum of S
per cent, according to the re-
port.
The percentage increase would

days annually Aside from the
recreational aspect, the fishing
goods and services related to it
would realize a 100000 annual
income boom.
Principal opposition to fish
way construction comes from
the District Commissioners and
the Washington District Engi-
neer of the Army Engineer
Corps.
The District Engineer Office is
building the ST million low-level
dam, pumping station and tun-
mel project to boost Washing
tons water supply. The sole OBJ
lection to f1shways, according to
Col. Ray Adams. District Engi-
neer, is monetary.
Col. Adams points out that the
$250,000 cost would be paid en-
tirely by the District of Colum-
bia out of revenues from water
consumers.
1--WE simply feel that this is
burden which should not be
placed on Washington's water
users when the money could be
spent on much more imperative
water supply needs" he said. The
District Commissioners agree.
The fishing fraternity, conser-
walton authorities and Senator
Butler. Republican of Maryland,
take the opposite view largely on
the basis Of previous congress
sional action.
Congress in 1854 appropriated
sufficient funds for at least one
flshway over the dam at the re-
quest of the District Engineer.
Since that time, however. the
engineers and the District
Board of Commissioners have
decided that the fishway ex-
penditure is less urgent than
other water supply needs. The
Commissioners enter the picture
since water supply costs are met
with revenues from the city's
water consumers.
Senator Butler contends that
the engineers have an obliga-
ton to Congress as well as the
general public to build the Ash
ways. He chiefly relies on the
1854 appropriations hearings in
which the engineers requested
funds specifically for fish pas
sages.
He points out that while Con-
gress did not specifically appro-
pirate money for the fishways,
it needed the engineers request
by providing enough funds for
that purpose.
The Controller General of the
United States since has ruled
that this fund legislation is
"permissive" rather than man
datory. In other words, the En-
gineer Corps is not compelled

home on High Rock Farm in Liberty
Township, Ross County, became the
scene of many festivities. Dinner
parties, dances and foxhunts were
frequent and many prominent guests
enjoyed Renick's hospitality there.
Felix Renick was killed in 1848 by a
falling tree.
During the years before Renick died
beef cattle raising had grown to such
proportions that long drives of cattle
driven along the roads to the East
were great hindrance to stage coach
and freight wagon travel. The cattle
would swerve out of line to the middle
of the road and in such numbers that
it almost was impossible for the
drivers to get them back in line 50
the stages could pass. Horse traffic
on the roads lost many hours in such
delays and for many miles could
move no faster than did the cattle.
hogs and sheep that were in their
way. Often the herds were moved al
night to clear traffic and were rested
by day at the side of the road.
There then were no packing houses
in the midwest and the only markets
available to the cattle raisers were
the eastern ones. Not until the coming
of the railroads did the midwestern
markets develop. Cincinnati long had
been good market for hogs and
shipped much pork as far as New
Orleans by steamboat but bought and
processed little beef.
Beef cattle raising began in the
Scioto valley and from it spread all
over the middle west, the same
methods of fattening and marketing
being adopted by the other western
stock raisers as they got into the
business.
Because of the foregoing the Scioto
valley righfully has been termed the
cradle of cattle raising in Ohio and
the country beyond it.
The difficulties and hardships of
pioneer marketing seem almost un-
believeable to stock raisers for the
market of today, when the marketing
is the easiest part of the job in pro-
ducing beef for the nation.

Beef For The Market

4
Though the first cattle brought into
the Northwest Territory were the
cows brought along by Abraham
Cavalt when his group from New Jer-
sey settled at present Terrace Park,
Hamilton County, in january, 1889,
there must have beens cows before
that at Marietta, which antedated
the settlements west of it seven
months or more. The people there had
to have had milk from some source.
Cattle raising in Ohio for the east
ern market began in 1904 near
Chilhcothe, in the Scioto valley, when
G Gorge Renick, Ross County,
drove the first herd of Ohio beef
cattle over the mountains to Balti-
more. Renick had bought the cattle In
Kentucky and had fattened them on
his farm near Chillicothe.
Cattle then were not sheltered but
were kept in open lots of about 10
acres each and were fed twice a day
with unshucked corn and fodder. The
waste was picked up by hogs. This
practice had its origin in Ross County
as did that of cutting the corn at the
bottom, leaving the stubble in the
ground and setting up the stalks in
shocks.
The Ohio cattle drivers who went
to New York usually lodged at the
Bulls Head Tavern, kept by Daniel
