mercial Fuel Company.
The basic reason behind the
change, according to Mr.. Temple
ton, is that equipment owned by
the contractor will result in a
more efficient mining operation,
resulting in a conservation of
coal as a natural resource. I'VE
have carefully studied the mat
ter he said, "and as a direct
result Of the equipment which
Commercial Fuel will bring to
the mine, we fully expect that
the life Of the mine will be
doubled"
Electromet began mining coal
at Dexter City in l948 for use
at the COmpany's plant at Ash
tabula, Ohio. At the present
time, all coal mined at Dexter
City is being used in the Steam
Station at the Marietta plant
The Steam Station generates
power for Electromet's huge,
modern fcrro-al!oy plant located
there.
I'VE have enjoyed our close
associations with our good neigh
bors in DeXte" City" Templeton
said, and will continue to be

Woodsf;esd School

Continued from page one)
ted village board members pre-
sented the county board with
three questions for their con-
sideration. They are as follows:
If the WOodSfield exempted vii
lage board of education were TO
petition the Monroe county board
of education for acceptance in
the county school system, would
the Monroe county board of cdu-
cation accept Woodsfield?
If Woodsfield We're a member
Of the county school system,
would it not be easier to re-dis-
trict school districts within Mon
roe county?
Since the Woodsfield school
board had not made any COM
mitments to any other local
board or any other interested
group, did they (the Monroe
County board) not feel the best
place to present the question
was to the county board.
Supt. Delven w. Devore of the
WOodsfield school board said that
the questions submitted were
more of an "eXploratory" nature
and that future meetings will be
held relative to this problem.
Monroe county is in the midst
of an industrial development
but unlike Noble county, the in
dustry to be located will be in
the county school system and
not W0odsfield.
The Caldwell plant of the CGR
is located completely within the
Caldwell school district and they
of course receive the sole bene-
fats from the increased receipts

If Issued Traffic
Violation Tag, 1t
Is Wise To PoyUp

The mere fact that motorists
feel that they're getting by"
with something when they
ignore a tag indicating a traffic
violation, might prove their
downfall.
Police Officer Jack Oliver
commented to council Tuesday
night that the habit of ignoring
traffic violation tags is becoming
too prevalent among some of the
motorists.
A list has been prepared show
ing the names these violators,
and according to Officer Oliver
some have as high as eight tags
reported against them. These
motorists, and the records will
indicate the dates of the traffic
infractions, will be asked to pay
their past violations before a
warrant will be issued for their
arrest.
From all indications, the tone
in the voices of the councilmen
would readily imply stern action
will be forthcoming if the prac-
tice isn't brought to a complete
halt.
Officer Oliver also stated that
the practice of skipping out" on
these traffic violations ic come
thing that must stop and "get
tough" policy seems to be the
only practical method these
motorists can understand.
SO, Mr.. Motorist, We suggest
that to avoid any undue en-
barassment on your part, if you
are guilty of a traffic violation
in Caldwell, you had better
right" yourself with the law
or the law will get youl

bill. The sewer line extension
cost the village the total sum

General Fund
Slightly Shaded"
A reading Of the financial
condition of the village noted
a deficit in the general fund
of over 100000. However, the
cemetery fund, gas tax fund
and street maintenance fund
all showed a substantial bal
anCc.
The general appropriation
budget submitted by the clerk
was likewise approved - by
council.
Occupying a large portion Of
the meeting was Captain Har-
old Mcdonald of the Caldwell
volunteer fire department
Several matters Of importance
were discussed in the interest
Of the local fire department.
Because of insufficient funds
in the general operating fund,
council deemed it advisable to
withhold any action relative to
purchasing new equipment at
the present time.
However, council did accept
the resignation Of Maurice
Colley as a member of the
fire department, and upon the
recommendation of Captain
Mcdonald, council appointed
Dale Rex to serve as his re-
placement.
COzier Makes Contribution
Council was advised that
Cozier Container Corporation,
thru their Plant Manager Joe
Giallombardo made a generous
contribution to the local fire
department in appreciation for
the fine work they rendered
when a short circuit caused a
fire to break out in their Cald-
well plant.
This money will be used in
purchasing sorely needed
equipment to properly equip
members Of the department.
Warning Issued
Council authorized the fire
department to issue warnings
to those individuals who make
it habit TO tail" the fire
engine when in the process of
making a fire run.
Captain Mcdonald noted
that this was in direct viola
ton of the law and any men,
Der Of the fire department,
when answering a fire call,
could bring action against a
Violator.
The last item to be aired
with some "do it now" gesture,
was to provide the law enforc-
ing officers of the village with
a regular police curiser, pro-
perly identified and marked
as such. The idea was to trade
off the three wheefr which
has proved to be quite a
lemon as far as to its general
use is concerned.
Mayor Nichols appointed
Councilmen Wiley, Jennings
and Colley to investigate the
possibility of trading the three
Wheel'r for something more
practical and perhaps more
beneficial in bringing the vii:
| lage on a par with neighboring
communities.
