County Auditor
Assumes Duties

Mrs. Ruth Mcdonald was
named deputy auditor for Noble
county, Monday, when Stanley
Osler assumed his new duties
as county auditor, March 9.
The new Republican official
will serve a term of four years
extending to March II, 1868. He
was administered the oath of
office by Common Pleas Court
Judge w. Vernon Archer.
Auditor Osler was unopposed
in the November election and
succeeds Democratic Auditor c.
R. Atkinson, who did not seek
another term. This is probably
one of the few rare instances in
the state of Ohio this year where
a Republican succeeded a Demo
crat.
Mrs. Mcdonald previously SER
we'd as bookkeeper in the audi
tors office under Mr.. Atkinson.
Mrs. Linda Wells will also con-
tinue with her duties as clerk
typist.
Former Auditor c. R. Atkinson
will remain in the office for a
period of time, Auditor Osler
said.

traffic necessary on State Route
339, at the Crooked Tree hill,
has been repaired after a period
of several weeks, Archie Van

ported today.

ment crane was used in the pro-
ject as well as a backhoe from
the Marietta division crew.
Stag and limestone are being
hauled on all traffic bound roads
in the county, Supt. VanF Fossen
said. Sealing work is being done
on State Route 285, between

ways in Noble county.

Engineer Controls
Disbursement OF
Anocated Funds

An operation of county gov
ernment that has resulted in a
great deal of misunderstanding
was clarified this week by a
spokesman for the board of
county commissioners.
The question was regarding
what control the board of com
missioners has over fund ear
marked or appropriated the
county engineer for operating
the highway program.
The commissioner said, at
was thought last year that we
could control the amount of labor
by appropriating the engineer a
certain amount each month.
However, the prosecuting attor-
ney reversed this procedure. 1t
was his opinion this method of
procedure could not be followed,
as we (the commissioners must
appropriate the county engineer
the amount of money they deem
necessary to operate the county
for the entire year"
Continuing, he said, The law
also delegates the county engi-
neer complete authority to hire
or fire all labor that he sees fit
to carry on his highway pro-
gram"
In the past the county com
missioners have attempted to
regulate the appropriations made
to the county engineer.
The commissioner said that
many people are of the opinion
that the board controls certain
expenditures in the engineer
office. 1t is the boards wish that
this matter be publicly known,
that the engineer has complete
jurisdiction in the management
and conduct of his office and
controls the disbursement OF
money allocated for his opera
ton.
