Prepaid Taxes Up
In Ohio; Not Here

A big increase of more than half
a million dollars in excess of the
corresponding weeks total year
ago registered by the S4,274, ,376
sale of prepaid tax receipts for the
week ending August 4, 1856, State
Treasurer Roger W. Tracy report
ed today.
The actual amount of increase
was S562, SIT, which represents a
gain of 1915 per cent over the rev.
enues of $3,711,799 for the week
ended August 6, 1855.
Treasurer Tracy said that the
cumulative grand total revenues
for the current fiscal year, which
include prepaid tax receipts, use
tax and other collections, stood at
S2O,611 SIT on August 4, 1856.
In the report Madison county
shows collections for the week of
only S7,231.72 compared to So, 1885,
81 in the same period last year.
The total from July / to date is
S.35, 1855. some more than S4,-
600 under the S39,687.75 for the
period last year.
The trend toward lower figure
seems to be common to the imme-
diate area counties.

ions for all age groups.
The Madison County Firefight-
ers' Association has taken con-
tract with the fair group to pro-
vide fire and police protection dur
ing the fair. Sheriff H. c. Markley
is directly in charge of the group
which is offering protection to all
the exhibits and people at this
gathering from Madison County
and the surrounding communities.
In past years this arrangement has
proved very satisfactory to both
the firefighterS and the Fair
Board.
Departments eleven and twelve
are drawing considerable attention
this year with exhibits advertising
wares of local merchants and deal
ers. Much new and proposed
equipment is being shown, with
some exhibitors (advertisers) us
ing tents to provide enough space
for their wares. Many local mer-
chants are on hand displaying for
the fair visitors the autumn stock
which is available at their stores
in downtown London.

154 Pints While
Here August IS

The American Red Cross Blood
mobile Committee expressed graft
tude this week to the 10 people
who volunteered to donate blood in
the Wednesday visit of the Unit to
London.
Although several of those volun-
teering were not eligible to donate
the unit collected 154 pints of bad
ly needed blood, bringing up the
county's total almost to the place
where it should have been two
months ago.
Without the response received
here Wednesday, the county was
faced with losing participation pri-
vileges in the blood bank program.
In such case all Madison coun-
tians using blood would have been
forced to pay about $500 per pint
for professional donors.
In the visit here the Bloodmob-
lie Committee added four new Gal
Ion Club names to their member
ship. The latest people to complete
their gallon contribution were Ker-
NIT Parks, Miss Bertha Holcombe,
George James and Ruth Armstrong.

Hospital Hits
Record Number
OF Bed Patients
BY - Clarence Hucks

We hit a new high for patti
ents Sunday with a record of 40
bed-patients. There continues to
be demand for hospital beds
and our capacity of as beds may
not last but a few years. Some
have already asked the question
when are we going to start
building again. AS in many 9th
er hospitals, we have a demand
for private rooms. With eight
private rooms we are hoping to
supply the demand. However
when there is not a demand for
private rooms we have most of
these private rooms equipped
so as we can use them as semi
private.
