Curfew Effective
In Belle Valley

Belle Valley law enforcement
officials believe that a $50 cur
few is the answer to their
problems.
Village NJ arsh al Andrew
Spizak stated today that the
practice so prevalent among the
teen-age group to loaf in business
establishments and loiter on the
village streets until late hours
must stop.
Because of this fact and the
possibility of something of a
serious nature resulting from
this existing condition, officials
are becoming a little concerned
and have come up with the
CurfeW idea as preventive
measure.
Youngsters and teen-agers, 1o
years and under, when in a
public place of business or on
the village streets after $50
must be accompanied by their
parents.
Those found violating the cur
few will be referred to the
county juvenile court.

Objections Voiced
Al Hearing For
Relocating yR B

Objections to the state high
way departments proposed plan
for relocation of a section of SR
78 and 260 in Noble county, were
voiced at public hearing Friday
in the county court house.
Ray Steen, right-of-way- en-
gineer, from the Marietta divis-
ion of the state highway, pre-
sided at the meeting when the
complaints were filed. Steen
stated that only two property
owners were present at the hear
ing, Elijah Crum and Edward
Sorg.
Crum's objections, according
to the Marietta division, con-
cerned the possibility of flooding
due to the increased height of
the proposed new section. He
felt that the relocation of 260
would create a dam" which
would cause flood waters to
approach his home.
Both property owners indicat-
ed that they believed the CON
crete bridge" on the Carlisle
road was not capable of handling
the potential water drainage.

Commissioners
Agree To Sell
Third Vet Home

The Noble county commission
ers are planning to get out of
the homecoming business.
With two homes already dis
posed of, the third and last of
such commissioner controlled
dwellings must 'go" by Dec. 81
of this year, at least that is what
the law requires.
Moving in that general direc-
tion the commissioners appointed
Charles Hutchins, Joe Buckley,
and James Law to act as apprais-
ers and establish a selling price
for the dwelling that is presently
occupied by George Simonton, a
veteran of World War H. The
property in question is located
on the corner of Railroad and
Spruce streets, lot number 245,
in the village of Caldwell.
The established appraisal price
is $1,000.
According to the law the vet
eran occupying the home has
the privilege of, purchasing the
property at the appraised
amount. He has go days in which
to make up his mind. If within
that period of time he declines
the offer, the commissioners will
then offer the property for sale
at public auction. 1t will be sold
to the highest bidder.
The county commissioners were
unanimous in their conclusion in
the method prescribed to dis
pose of the property.
From the sale of the other
two homes, there remains in the
emergency veterans housing
fund over S10,500, according tc
Auditor c. r. Atkinson.
