Taken to House of
Correction Yesterday

Carlton limbaugh. 35, of Oak
land, who was sentenced to two
years in the House of Correction
last week following his conviction
by a male jury on charges of I'M
natural and perverted sexual prac-
tice. was taken to Jessups yester-
day by Sheriff James E. Frantz
Hinebagh must serve at least
one-third of his sentence before he
is qualified to apply for parole.
There was a question this week
about a slight discrepancy in the
news story of last week. Carlton
Calls testified that in his business
dealings with Hinebaugh he had
always been responsible and up
right. He did not testify as to the
mans character. Only one actually
qualified to testify as to his char
acter and this was Ralph Smouse.
Smouse said the mans character
was considered good
Through an agreement with at
torneys for prosecution and de-
tense, the jury contained only
eleven persons. One man, sched-
uled as the 18th individual was
not able to appear and both sides
agreed on the II. This is probably
the first case in history of the cir
cult court here where the jury
consisted of only eleven men.

Declares Budget Request
Shows Normal Increase

That the budget request of the
Board of Education presented to
the County Commissioners recent
ly was not nearly as large as pic
tured in last weeks issue of The
Republican, was declared this week
by Maurice Brookhart, president
of the board.
In last weeks issue of The Re
publican a statement accedited to
H. D. Swartzentruber, vice presi-
dent of the County Commissioners,
showed that the increase over last
years budget requests had totaled
some S18O,OOO.
Mr.. Brookhart stated that the
Board of Education's budget as
presented to the County Commits
sioners for their approval requested
only S34 1893 more than last year and
not the S180000 as published.
He further added that Garrett
county schools still receive the
smallest percentage of the total
county budget, of any county in the
state.
The amount listed concerned
only the county budget. There
is a mandatory minimum for
schools, and the total is dependent
upon the assessable basis. When
the assessable basis is increased
the amount apportioned to schools
is proportionately increased. There
will be a considerable increase in
the county's assessable basis this
year, it was indicated.

County Tax Rate
Still Uncertain;
Levy Being Fixed
Commissioners Remaining
Hopeful. Await Figures
On Accessible Busis

There we're still no defitite fig
ures available in regard to the
county tax rate up to this morning,
but Allen S. Paugh, president, said
the County Commissioners we're
still hopeful that the rate could
be kept the same as it was last
year, S235 on each 500 of assess
able property.
The amount of increase in the
assessable still was not available
r. c. McComas, supervisor of as
sessments and taxation, indicated
last week there would be an in
crease but he was unable to say def
nitely how much. The basis last
year was S42,S39,1 56.1O
Nothing was transacted this week
by the Commissioners except con-
tinued work on figuring out what
the levy would be. They had the
assistance of their auditor in this
regard, and had been in conference
with heads of various agencies and
departments.
Mr. Paugh did explain how bust
ness transactions we're to be con-
Quoted so that criticisms which had
arisen from time to time could be
eliminated.
He said the regular meetings
would be held the same as previ-
ously, the first and third Mondays
and Tuesdays of each month. All
regular business matters will be
presented to the commissioners by
the clerk to the board. Paugh en-
phasizcd that the clerk was limited
in the various demands of the
public to rules and regulations set
up by the Commissioners. Appoint
ments may be made by telephone
or by contracting the clerk at the
office.
The Commissioners also indi-
Gated that approved minutes of the
commissioners office would be open
to the press at convenient times.
In doing this the commissioners
said they hope to promote better
understanding and create closer
contact by citizens of the county
business.
Mr.. Paugh said all constructive
suggestions and ideas would be
appreciated by all commissioners
and would be given due considera-
ton He added this did not mean
that knowledge of official business
had not previously been released
but he wanted to assure the public
of further information on county
business.
Future progress of the county
depends upon mutual understand
ing and effort" he concluded

Health Dept. Seeks
Extra Sanitarian

The need of an extra sanitarian
for the County Health Department
was expressed this week by Dr.
Arthur F. Jones, health officer, and
a request for this has been made
of the County Commissioners in
the proposed budget of the depart
ment.
DR.. Jones said extra help was
needed due to increased demands
on the health department. He ex-
planned the demands were in sew
eral fields. He said the dairy in
dustry was demanding closer SUI
pervision on production and pro-
cessing of milk and milk products.
State regulations for eating and
drinking establishments are re-
quiring a stepped up surveillance.
Due to increased building of
homes, business establishments,
schools, recreational areas and
facilities in the county, DR.. Jones
said it was imperative that more
supervision be given to sewage
and water problems.
Charles B. Miller, only sanitarian
in the county at present, says the
work has piled up and that it
would take the services of another
sanitarian to sufficiently cope with
the problems.
DR.. Jones pointed out that new
state budgeting has made it pos
sible to secure another sanitarian
with state matching funds, the
state furnishing two thirds and
the county one-third.

A. I am informed by the
Justice Department that carry
ing sweepstakes tickets across
State lines is o technical VIOLA
ton Of the law.
Under consideration is the
possibility Of establishing local
banks or repositories wherG
out-of- Staters can leave theil
tickets after purchase. How.
ever, this is still to be worked
out with the Justice Depart
ment.
@. Is there any limit on the
number Of tickets an Individual
can buy?
A. Not in the law, but you
can bet some limit will be estab.
lished by the sweepstakes com
mission. The reason for a limit
Is to keep gangsters out Of thi;
operation.
@. How could eangsters pos
sibly get involved
A. Let's say there was nc
limit. a gangster could come
into New Hampshire from some
other State. buy tickets by the
thousands, sell them at higher
than face value and pocket the
huge profit. Well prevent that.
Talk Of 50 Per Cent Return
@. How much will be given
the winners?
A. That has not been de-
cided yet. There has been some
talk about returning so per
cent of the revenue. However,
the mission will decide
that.
@. What would be the States
take under present estimates?
A. Proponents Of the bill
have set estimates as high as
So million q year at So q ticket.
And they've estimated on the
basis Of that figure the State
could keep half and return the
other half in prizes. That re.
mains to be seen, however.
@. Any indication how many
prizes will be awarded for each
Of the two sweepstakes races,
and how much will they be
worth?
A. That will be up to the
commission.
@. viii the State be able to
keep its entire share Of the
sweepstakes revenue?
A. That's not certain y ct.
There has been an informal ex-
preston of opinion by the In
ternal Revenue Department
that the State would have to
pay a 10 per cent excise tax
on gross revenue. That, too, is
yet to be worked out.
U. s. Tax Only for Winners
Q. How much Of a tax bite
will be taken out Of the win
ners' share?
A. New Hampshire has no
State income tax law, so the
only deduction will be the Fed
eral income levy. Let's say the
winner gets $4,000. Just to use
