Commissioners Approve Olive
Annexation Petition To own
Final Approval
Up To Council Al
August Meeting

The Olive annexation petition
to Caldwell was unanimously
approved Monday morning by
the Noble county commissioners
at their regular meeting.
This means that the COM
munity of Sc families, just east
of Caldwell, has only one more
hurdle before final approval and
that is the Caldwell council.
The petition will now be SUBJ
mitted to council at their next
meeting, June 4 but there is
waiting period of so days before
final action can be taken.
The petition will be filed and
read by the clerk at the June
4 meeting and definite action
will be taken on Aug. 6.
The commissioners approved
the petition at a hearing which
was held at 1000 o'clock Mon
day morning. A large number
of interested petitioners attended
the hearing and not. single
objection was made. All the
commissioners favored the an
nexation of Olive to Caldwell.
The original petition was filed
with the county on Monday,
March 18 by Leander Crock, who
had been appointed official agent
for the residents of Olive in
securing annexation and follow
ing through with the necessary
procedure.
Total real estate proposed in
the annexation would amount to
S925.00 which would be reduced
to $888.30, were they to become
part of Caldwell.
The estimated personal prop
erty tax in the proposed addition
amounts to $4,000, according to
records at the courthouse.

Water Customers
Increase On Line
Serving Florence

Three new fire hydrants have
been installed in the Florence
and Park Heights areas since
water from the village has been
made available.
John Riski, acting secretary
and treasurer for the group,
stated Tuesday that the line is
now serving 48 customers. Five
have been added since the first
of the year.
The installation of the fire
hydrants will be a factor in
decreasing the cost of insurance
to property owners in the area
because of available fire protec-
ton.
A great deal of work went into
this development by interested
persons after the village officials
denied their request to provide
water for the area.
At the time it was questioned
Shy some" if sufficient custom
ers could be realized to justify
the cost of the installation.
The present line now carries
three times more customers than
what was thought could be
made available at the time the
matter was being discussed with
Caldwell village officials. The
line was laid three years.
Riski was of the opinion that
eventually the line will serve
every residence in the area,
which in total will mean more
than 1u0 customers.
At the present time two water
lines are providing service for
homes in the area north of Cald-
well. The other line was spon-
sored by a group living in the
Maple Heights and Laura addi-
tions and is operated completely
separate from the inch line
running to Florence.

at ST. Francis hospital, Cam

late Friday evening when he
was beaten up by a group of
unknown assailants.
The local sheriff's depart

Joe Powell, route l, Lewisville,
who is believed to have been
implicated in the beating of the
Summerfield man. Execution
of this affidavit will be made

The alleged beating is said
to have taken place at Swazey

which places the prosecution
in that county and not Noble.

The merchants division of the
Noble County Chamber of Com
merce held its initial meeting
Tuesday evening, and discussed
ways and means of improving
CaldWell's shopping area and
methods to be employed to make
Caldwell better place in which
to buy.
To attract more buyers into the
area the matter of remaining
open on Friday evenings, parti-
cularly during the summer and
fall months, was favorably re-
ceived by the group.
To further develop this pos
sibility, a group was assigned
to contact the merchants for an
opinion. A meeting will be held
this coming Friday evening, at
7:30 o'clock, in the chamber of
commerce rooms, courthouse, to
act on the proposal. All the mer-
chants are asked to attend.
Prior to the Friday meeting,
merchants will be given an
opportunity to discuss the matter
with a member of the committee.

Dedication Plans

William Davis, member of the
village board of public affairs,
was named by Mayor Dwight
Wiley to serve on the program
committee whose duty it will be
to work out plans for the dedica-
tion of the new municipal build
ing now under construction.
Mayor Wiley also named
Robert Whitcomb, village coun-
Gil member, to serve as chair
man of the committee at the
meeting held Monday evening in
the village hall.
Meeting to formulate definite
course of action for an appropri-
ate program, several proposals
were submitted by committee
members for consideration.
Until the date of completion
for the building can be defin-
itely established, the suggestion
to have the dedication a part of
the firemen's festival failed to
receive favorable consideration.
With the arrival of the remain
ing steel Tuesday, and construc-
ton calling for full speed
ahead, the meeting scheduled to
be held on June 3 should pro-
vide the committee with suf-
ficient data to proceed with all
dedication plans.
Committee members present
at the meeting were Mayor
Wiley, Robert Whitcomb, Jack
Barnhart, Ernest Dutton, and c.
J. Estadt. Clifton Elliott was

to extend its lines approximately
two and six -tenths miles from the
corporation limits.
This would represent about one
half the distance between the two
villages.
AT the present time, one line
connects the villages and often
calls are delayed because of the
increased use of the phone facili-
ties. It was noted that long dis
tance calls are on the increase
and this is factor in the COM
pany's concerted effort to bring
about improved telephone service
