Mayor Nichols is hopeful that
the new law will be of some
benefit to the village of Cald-

the necessary legislation to place
on the ballot a bond issue in the
amount of $1,000 for approval
by the electorate at this Novem-
Der election. This amount will
be levied against real estate and

Additional revenue will be
! derived from users of water and
this will be prorated on a per

which was submitted to counci
established the cost Of the entire
installation, including the sewer
system and d sewage treatment
plant, at $546,OOO.

The alley leading to the grade

major industry to locate in
Noble county following the end
of World War II, manufactures
wire bound boxes and crates.
The company operated only a
short time before hostilities came
to a close, at which time they
manufactured ammunition boxes

In an expansion move in 1948,
the company was provided ad-

G. S. Brown property thru the
efforts of the Noble County

l. By Ted w. Brown =
Secretary Of Stote OF Ohio

This year marks the 10th an
niversary of the establishment
in some Of Ohios metropolitan
counties Of Boards of Elections,
such as were very soon after
ward to be instituted in all SO
counties.
Enactment of the PugslCy Act
started the plan of having bi-
partisan county Boards Of Elec-
tions-Boards comprised of two
Democrats and two Republicans
in each of Ohio's 88 counties.
Proper observance of this
great advance in the establish
ment of free and honest elections
in the Buckeye State, will be
made by Boards Of Elections and
as a part Of the program Of a
summer conference of Ohio Elec-
ton officials scheduled to be held
in Cincinnati, September 27, 28
and %.
Helping these county Boards
of Elections and the Secretary of
State succeed in the administra-
ton of elections. are thousands
of precinct election officials, also
representatives of both political
parties. Being bipartisan in
character these precinct groups
are another safeguard against
irregularities.
1t is to be hoped that the vot-
ers will consider the merits OF
our election system in America
and that, on this 10th anniVer-
sary year of the establishment OF
the first Boards of Elections in
Ohio, they will register their ap-
probation by going to the polls
in unprecedented numbers.

for the lot is to the rear of the
