Der of felonies and misdemeanors.
Under the former law $50 of all
fines collected in our Mayors
Court on arrests made by the Ohio
State Patrol were payable to the
Village to be applied to the proper
funds of the Village; and in addi-
tion all the costs collected in these
cases were deposited into the gen.
eral fund of the Village. In the
past years, it was pointed out, at
least half of the annual revenues
of our Village were derived from
our Mayors Court; and it is prin-
cipally because of this former
source of revenue that the Village
has not been required to ask the
voters for additional levies in the
past, other than for street lighting
purposes, council emphasized.
After January l, 1858, the rev.

At the present time only $1.60

mill general operation levy at the

of a group of pullets simply by ex-
amining the flock, according to
Marsh. The prospective buyer may
get a measure of proof of such
breeding by asking to see the sales
bill or the purchase order received
from the hatchery originally sup
plying the chicks. Pullets of strains
bred for broiler production should
never be purchased for egg pro-
duction, Marsh says. Their large
body size results in poor feed eff
cheney. In addition, the period dur
ing which they maintain a high
rate of lay is too short to make
them profitable egg producers.
Poultrymen may look for several
signs of health in young pullets.
One of the best is a large body in
relation to age and strain of the
birds. Eveness in size, with few
small birds in the flock, is anoth-
er. The presence of heavy yellow
pigmentation in the shanks and the
skin, plus smooth, even feathering,
indicates freedom from disease,
Marsh explains. In considering
feathering and pigmentation one
should remember pullets raised in
confinement are not as smoothly
feathered or as highly colored as
range-reared birds.
1t is not wise to select future
layers from flocks which contain
some pullets that obviously are di-
seased. Although only healthy spec
linens are taken from the flock,
the fact that they have been ex-
posed to unhealthy pen mates MAX
es them a poor risk, Marsh warns.
