classes of property are valued
at uniform level.
There will be two crews of
men operating in the county, one
working on the farms and the
other in the towns and villages.
1t will be the duty of the field
men to get all the information
available that may influence
values.
1t is very important that these
men check the interior of the
dwellings. This will determine
the type of construction and
apply the correct physical de-
probation. 1t will be to the
advantage of any taxpayer who
desires to have a fair value
placed on his property to have
these men check the interior
thoroughly.
All men working on the re-
appraisal will carry credentials
from the office of Auditor Osler
and all of them are reliable,
honest and conscientious.
A spokesman for the company
said that it would take at least
nine months to complete an ac-
curate reappraisal in this county
and a tentative date has been
set for early fall in 1860.
In other counties where they
have worked, this company has
received only 35 to 40 protests,
which is considered unusually
low.
Auditor Osler is anxious that
these field men receive the full
cooperation of the general public
Some of the questions asked will
be personal, such as the amount
they paid for the property, how
long they have lived there, what
improvements have been made
etc. Every building on location
will be considered in the break
down of determining the value
of each parcel.
The size, shape and number OF
buildings will affect the ap-
praisal, as will the type anc
quality of construction. replace.
ment value, the age and depre-

ing, the type of floors, the
quality Of interior finish of build
ing, the heating plant, air con

equipment and many other items
The appraisers will inspect al
buildings, inside and out. Shoule
an appraiser not be admitted tt
a home, they are then to assume
that everything inside was O.
the most modern nature anc
would therefore have high
value placed on it. 1t would ther
be up to the property owner tt
prove otherwise.

unanimous approval of all men,
berS attending the Caldwell
meeting.
That section of the trail ex-
tending from the Caldwell lake
area to the Whealdon hill or SR
2S5, distance of three miles,
was walked by the group.
According to DR.. Roy Fairfield,
professor of history at Ohio Uni
versity, Athens, and president of
the trail association, the area
provides most unique and color
full panoramic view typical of
this section of the state.
Persons interested in hiking
as a means of recreation will
undoubtedly regard this area as
unusually scenic, since it incor-
porates woodlands, open areas
or grasslands, lakes, highways
and villages.
Many prominent people have
been attracted to the plan and
are lending their support in
developing the Buckeye Trail.
Present at the Caldwell meet
ing were DR.. Roy Fairfield, presi-
dent of the association; Merrill
Gilfillan, department of natural
resources, Columbus; Bill Miller,
editor of the Logan Daily News;
William Price, secretary of the
association and chief naturalist,
division CT parks, Columbus.
Ken Crawford, member of the
League of Ohio Sportsmen, Co.
lumbus; John Klecan, association
treasurer and member of the Big
Brothers Association, Columbus;
!. l. Dickman, assistant chief,
division of forestry, Columbus;
and Tom Lloyd, manager of the
Wildcat Hollow Riding club,
Rockridge.
Local members of the execu-
tive committee present and who
served as hosts to the group were
Merle Marietta, Noble county
soil conservationist, and John
Wargo, science instructor, Belle
Valley high school.
Others present were Paul Jon
ard, county agent, All club
Paul w. Wheeler, Glen R
Wheeler and G. J. Estadt.
AS outlined, the trail will lead
from Seneca lake in a northerly
direction thru Guernsey, Har,
rison, Carroll, Stark, Portage
Trumbull and Ashtabula coun-
ties.
From Browns Knob the trail
would lead thru Morgan ano
Washington counties, following
the direction Of the Ohio river
to Cincinnati Two alternate
routes are proposed in this direc,

The association has established
standard markers to properly
identify the route to be known
as the Buckeye Trail
Named as overseers for the
Noble county segment, were Mr.
Marietta and Mr. Wargo. 1t will
be their responsibility, with the
help of others, to seek the rights

Favor Shown For

Cumberland Lead

The Buckingham board of super
visors at its October meeting indi-
Gated it would favor adoption of a
resolution recommending steriliza-
ton of mothers who bear a second
illegitimate child, and denying vel
fare support to mothers who bear
their first child out of wedlock.
DR.. w. A. Pennington. supervisor
from the James River District.
recommended that such resolu-
ton be adopted.
The resolution could be similar
to the one adopted by the Cumber-
land County Welfare Board and ap-
proved by that county's board Of
supervisors. DR.. Pennington said.
To Follow Up
The Buckingham board stipulated
that such a resolution would have
to be drawn UP and presented by
the Buckingham Welfare Board.
Supervisors agreed to take up the
matter again at the next meeting
The Cumberland county resolu-
ton, read by Pennington, included
a provision which would require
fathers Of illegitimate children to
contribute to their support, where
paternity can be proved.
Cites Survey
Pennington quoted a recent Rich
mond Welfare Board survey that
showed about so per cent of the
city's welfare funds had to be ex-
pended on Nightmares and their
mothers.
If enough county welfare boards
and boards of supervisors will for
ward similar resolutions to the
State Welfare Department, Penn
ington said. lit should be possible
to have legislation enacted to curb
this out-of-proportion drain on well
fare funds for the support of lille
climates and the encouragement OF
