Here is why insurance companies are reluctant TO ac
cept automobile insurance for those individuals who
have had bad driving records:
a. A driver who has had accident is twice as
likely to get into another accident as is the drl-
yer who has never had an accident.
b. driver with two accidents is three times as
likely to become involved in another as is the
driver with
c. A repeater who has had four accidents is seven
times as likely to have another accident as is the
driver with clear record.
It appears that accidents become habitual with some
people and are not accidental after all.

New J.P. Law Will
Affect This County

January /, 1858, will mark the
end of the Justice of the Peace
system in the state of Ohio and
the beginning of a system in
which every Ohio county, pres
emily having municipal court
with less than countrywide juris-
diction will create new county
court" one for every 10000
population outside the areas
served by the city courts.
The final decision on the JP
courts was made in a bill passed
last week by the 102nd Ohio
General Assembly, Columbus.
The new bill will affect H. c.
Danford, of Dexter City, and
Leo E. Carter, of Caldwell, the
only two Ups serving in Noble
county at the present time.
There is now movement
underway to have Attorney
Carter run for mayor of the
village, since it has been pointed
out that he could devote his
entire time to this job.

Room Cleared
ForSecret Session

In an unprecedented action,
Mayor Dwight F. Wiley ordered
the council room cleared" of all
outsiders Tuesday evening in
order that the council might dis
cuss business of personal"
nature and of no concern
to the public-according to auth
oratative information received
Wednesday morning.
There were only two outsiders
at this meeting, including the
press and a representative of a
utility company.
Out of respect for the council
members, the press representa-
tive agreed to leave during the
secret session, although this is
directly contrary to law. In 1858
the Ohio General Assembly
adopted an "open meeting" law
applying to state agencies. AT
the next regular session in 1855,
this was amended to cover
county, township, municipal and
school district public bodies.
The revised law, which is of
vital importance to citizens OF
