At a special meeting of Cald-
well council, Tuesday night,
plans were discussed to clean up
the city dumping grounds on the
old mine site, north of Caldwell,
and legal proceedings instituted
relative to the purchase of a
street cleaner for the village.
The council has received many
complaints relative to the dump
and the careless manner in which
trash has been tossed there. They
plan to have a bulldozer 60 in
and push the debris into an
excavation and cover it up.
They also talked about the
possibility of installing an
incinerator on the city owned
property and having a city en-
ployee supervise the burning of
trash there for one day a week
only. However, this was only in
the talking stage and no definite
action was taken.
City Solicitor L. c. Young has

days but he will be instructed
to prepare the legal proceedings
necessary for bids by the village
on the purchase of street
cleaner.

CurtaiIed In Caldwell

Although Postmaster General

been tossed to the side of this
little used road near her mail
box.
She Immediately notified the
sheriff's department and the safe
is now at his headquarters in
Caldwell.
The vault was described as a
small combination-type, weigh
ing between $50 and 200 pounds.
The combination had been
punched with a drift punch and
the door then removed from the
hinges. Both the safe and the
door were discovered very close
to each other as though they had
been tossed from a car.
Sheriff ConaWay said he be-
lieved the safe had been aban-
doned about two or three days
ago which would connect it with
the Orrville robbery.
However, it has been raining
constantly since that time and
there was quite a bit of rust On
the safe.

Ninety Year-0Id
Granger Oldest To
Receive Tb x-ray

Renrock Grange, No. 1904 took
top honors last week during the
free x-ray examinations at the
courthouse when one of their
members topped the list of being
the oldest to show up for an
X-ray.
He was Harry w. Dickinson,
of Reinersville, route /, who very
easily walked off with top
honors.
He was 80 years old, eight
months and II days and there
wasn't any question but what he
would win the ten-inch cake
being, offered by the Noble
county tuberculosis association
to the oldest person or granger
who visited the x-ray clinic
during the three-day period.
Mr.. Dickinson is amazingly
young for one of his advanced
years and could easily pass for
a young man of rs years.
Mr.. Dickinson was quite
emphatic about his age, however,
and even added the eight months
and II days for good measure.
The beautifully decorated cake
will be presented to Mr.. Dickin-
son this. weekend. 1t is to be
baked and decorated by Land

to reality,
First, would be for The Farm
ers Telephone Company to bur-
den itself with all the financial
responsibility by running three
metallic lines over the existing
ight-of-way into Caldwell.
Secondly, would be to seek
the cooperation Of the General
Telephone Company in extend
ing their lines the distance
allowed them by law, which
would be about two miles beyond
the limits of Caldwell, and for
the Sarahsville company to
extend their lines to meet those
of the General Telephone. Tt
would necessitate Sarahsville
building approximately three
miles of line.
The third, and possibly the
most feasible to bring an ade-
quate type of telephone service
to Sarahsville, would be for the
company to consider selling it's
property to the General Tele-
phone Company.
President Archer stated that
of the three alternatives, the
best in the final analysis would
be to sell the company, which
would alleviate the many prob

officials in maintaining the
