small majority.
The bond issue of $1,000
would be about eighth OF
what the disposal plant would
actually cost as City Solicitor L.
c. Young pointed out to council
that the total overall cost would
probably amount to at least
$550,000 and possibly more.
AT the time of the original
survey back in July of 1854, it
was suggested that part of the
cost would be met by issuing
mortgage revenue bonds to
finance sewage treatment plant
and interceptor sewers. These
bonds are retired by income
realized from sewer rental and
are secured by a mortgage on
the utility property concerned

county infirmary near Marietta,
Saturday.
According to w a S h n G O n
county authorities, Bates came
to the door of the infirmary at
about 1880 p. m, Saturday. Mrs.
Haas, wife of Supt. Donald
Haas, said she called her husband
to talk to him because she was
incoherent and seemed to be
intoxicated"
After "mumbling" something
to Supt. Haas, Bates got in his
delivery truck and drove it up
on the porch of the infirmary
He then backed the truck down
and drove up three or four
times, smashing porch pillar,
damaging the door and when
backing the truck, he snapped a
utility pole.
After driving on the porch
Bates got out of the truck and
ran into the infirmary and up
the stairs. On the stairway he
was said to have allegedly
thrown an aged woman inmate
down the stairway. The aged
resident suffered bruises but nc
serious injuries.
Bates was seized by two men
and held until the sheriff's de-
partment arrived. He is lodged
in the Washington county jail
Other charges may be brought
against Bates, according to Wash.
sngton county authorities.

Murder Charqe
IsFiIed Against
ByesvilIe Man

A first degree murder charge
was filed in Cambridge munich
pal court, Tuesday against Doran
'Dopey" Gibbs, %, Byesville,
confessed slayer of Byesville
restaurant owner, Alvin Mic
key" Poland.
Gibbs allegedly triggered the
16-gauge shotgun blast which
snuffed out Poland's life about
1920 y. m. Sunday night on the
front porch of the Poland home,
247 S. Seventh Street.
Poland and his wife had just
returned to their home after
closing the restaurant they
operated in Byesville.
Gibbs was sitting on the front
porch of the Poland home when
the couple returned. 1t is said
that he had been drinking most
of that day. The fatal shot was
fired when Poland approached
him on the front porch and the
latter died instantly when the
charge struck him squarely
between the eyes.
A former newspaperman, Pol
and had been employed on the
Byesville Enterprise before it
ceased operation. He was also
we'll known in Caldwell by a
number of friends.
Funeral services for the victim
were held Wednesday from the
Herlan-McGaugy funeral home
in Byesville with Rev. Daniel
Carmany officiating. Interment
was made in the Greenwood
cemetery. The American Legion
post was in charge of the mill

In some areas where municipal
courts are operating, these courts
will be given countrywide juris-

However, in the case of Noble

than 10000 inhabitants, only one
court and one judge will be in

Driver Point
System Bill

Safety-conscious Ohio and
Noble county got a new yard
stick today to measure danger
Gus driving.
Gov. c. William O'Neill signed
an emergency law creating
penalty point system for traffic
violators.
Any Noble county driver who
gets Il points within two years
under the system will lose his
or her driving license for up to
a year. Maximum penalty for
driving while under suspension
is six months in Jail and a $500
fine.
Rep. Edmund C. James auth
ored similar bill in the legis-
lature but it had more stringent
penalties than the one finally
enacted by the legislature.
Here is how the new law will
work in Noble county:
The state bureau of motor
vehicles will keep track of points
assessed for traffic convictions
or bond forfeitures in all courts
over the state.
Six points will be assessed for
driving while drunk or drugged,
failing to stop after an accident
or driving while a license is sus-
pended or revoked. Three points
will be assessed for reckless
operation and two for speeding
and other moving traffic viola
tors.

Two weeks ago today ! Wro

Two weeks ago today wrote
a column beginning:
"The MOST widely advertised
and anticipated business slow
down in American history is
here, is a fact. Interest rates
meaning the cost of borrowing
money-are humping against
the ceiling for this cycle.
THE prices of highest-grade
bonds issued by our corpora
tons. States. cities. the Gov
eminent. are sitting on a floor,
We are winding up one of the
steepest upSurges in interest
rates and one Of the sharpest
slumps in bond prices in this
century -"
And then went into detail
on what E these. statements
meant.
While I spent many weeks
OF careful checking and think
ing before / dared put such
fiat judgments as the above
into print, l confess I didn't
dream on Monday. November
IL, that within two weeks
events would prove them to
have been sensationally pro-
phetic. I'm being neither
modest nor boastful: I'm stat
ing a pertinent fact.
For since Monday, Noyem-
Der IL. interest rates have gone
into one of the most spectacu-
lar declines in moder times.
The cost of borrowing money
is no longer bumping against
the ceiling. 1t is now well
below the ceiling.
In the past six days prices
Of highest-grade bonds of all
types have zoomed off the
floor. Many bonds have
chalked up gains ranging to
four and five points-which
works out to $40 and $50 per
$1,000 bond. That's a big
move in the high-grade bond
markets and rarely in this
country has an advance of
this magnitude taken place in
a few days.
In this period, the Federal
Reserve System has officially
recognized that business condi-
tons have changed and recess
sionary tendencies rather than
infiationary forces are dominat-
ing the economy.
Thus. after two and a half
years Of tightening the reins
on credit-and helping to push
the cost of borrowing money UP
and the prices of bonds down
the Reserve Board is now loos-
ening the reins on credit.
1t began the loosening on
Thursday evening. November
IA, by authorizing a cut in the
loan rate the system charges
to its member banks from 3h
to 3 per cent.
Reserve officials followed up
last week by indicating before
IA congressional committee that
other moves are "on the fire.
to make credit more plentiful
as well as less costly. .',.,
Thus, the practical sugges-
tions I emphasized in that col
umn of two weeks ago now
warrant undermining.
If you will be looking for a
loan to finance your business
in the near future. you should
gain by holding of the bor-
rowing for a while. With the
trend of borrowing costs in
