Tax Books Now
Open In County
Property Owners
Notified By Mail

Noble County Treasurer A. r.
Hicks announced today that the
books for accepting real estate
taxes are open and the office is
prepared to start the collection.
A new method is employed
this year for collecting taxes,
according to Treasurer Hicks.
All persons living in Noble coun-
ty and or ing property 1Til9 be
SO advised by mail of the amount
due. However, in a few cases
where the address remains in
doubt, the person might fail to
receive his tax notice.
Treasurer Hicks noted that in
those cases the taxpayer is still
personally responsible and he
should call at the office and ad-
wise the treasurer of his OR her
correct mailing address.
Many out-of-county taxpayers
leave no forwarding address and
again it is necessary that they
follow their customary procedure
in making their tax payments.
Current collections are made
for taxes due for the year 1855.

Commercial Fuel
Plans Moving Huge
Shovel To Dexter Civ
35-Yord Shovel Takes
Ploce Of Seven 2-Yord
ShoveIs In Chonge-ove,

Workmen are now busily
engaged in dismantling the huge
shovel which will be used in
Commercial FUELS newly-acquir-
ed strip mining operations at
Dexter City.
1t will be remembered that
Electromet, subsidiary of Union
Carbide & Carbon Corp, leased
their Dexter City mining opera
tions to Commercial Fuel, effec-
tive June l.
1t has been stated that it will
require several months to com
plete the job of moving the 35-
yard shovel from its present
location in Brookfield township
to Dexter City.
The shovel, property of Com
mercial Fuel, will replace seven
two-yard shovels used by Elec-
tromet. With the larger equip
ment now available, plans call
for moving the shovel into area
previously mined where it was
not considered feasible no1
profitable to strip with the much
smaller equipment. A greater
portion of the remaining deep
coal will now be taken with the
largest stripping equipment.
Just how many of the Electro
met employees will be retained
by Commercial Fuel has never
been determined. However, it is
believed that those failing to
secure employment with Com
mercial Fuel will be given ar
opportunity to work at Electro.
