Commissioners
Hear Delegation

A delegation of local citizens
met with the Noble county COM
missioners Monday morning in
an attempt to learn why the
appropriation was cut for certain
offices and what could be done
about it.
1t was pointed out later that
nothing concrete was accom-
plished by this meeting although
the commissioners did learn that
the county still wants law en-
forcement maintained at high
level.
The commissioners told the
group that the auditor would
make another check and perhaps
something would be done about
it.
During their other business
meeting, the commissioners or
dered 1000 tons of crushed lime
stone from the Lawrence King
quarry at $1.70 per ton at the
quarry. Other than allowing the
bills, this was the only other
item of business transacted.

Damage Roads
Thruout County

The state highway department
reported today an estimated
damage. in the amount of $4,000
to roads, bitches and slips in
this area from the high waters
of last week. Bridge damage was
at minimum because personnel
was on hand in various spots
throughout the county to prevent
ice jams.
Farm Planner Merle Marietta
also reported that the Noble
!, county engineers office stated
that no official damage estimate
had been released but the Excess
sive rainfall and floods caused
considerable damage to culverts
and road beds in the county
highway system.
Marietta also points out that
debris is widely scattered in
crop and haylands in bottom
fields and many water co-ops
will have to be replaced or re-
paired as a result of flood dam
age.
Farm owners with damage or
interest in flood control will
have an opportunity to express
themselves at a meeting of the
Noble Washington Soil Conserva-
ton districts to be held the
latter part of February. This
meeting is being called to dis
cuss watershed and flood preven-
ton possibilities.
Heavy rains and the attendant
floods caused widespread dam
age in the Noble Soil Conserva-
ton district but there were also
benefits. The conservation re-
serve fish ponds of Walter Brown
and Brick Smith are now filled.
Both of these ponds have small
watersheds.

State Liquor Sales
Total $95,l03 Here

Total liquor sales at state
stores in Noble county last year
were $95, 5,203.58.
Liquor sales at state stores
showed a drop of more than
eight million dollars in 1853, ac-
cording to an audit of last years
sales just completed by State
Auditor James A. Rhodes.
Volume of all retail and whole
sale business last year was $2l5,-
642,780 compared to $685.
462 in 1857.
Retail sales dropped from $161
million in 1857 to $157 million in
1858, a decline of 265%.
Wholesale business was down
from $62 million in 1857 to $50
million in 1858, drop Of go.
Wholesale business is done
with taverns, night clubs, hotels,
restaurants and other places that
sell by the glass. The decline in
wholesale buying indicates less
drinking at public places last
year.
This was also reflected in sales
tax collections since the sales
tax is charged on drinks sold
by the glass.
