The limit has been fixed, at 45 miles an hour on highways. Responsibility is placed on the motorist as to danger­ ous and -vreckless driving. In certain traffic 25 miles an hour may be re­ garded dangerous. One other feature o f the new law is the entire elimination Of highway {courts conducted by/ officials hungry fo r fees. The old law of a limit o f 35 miles an hour observed by few motor­ ists and in certain sections officials set tip a speed trap to- catch unsuspected motorists.

Barn Burns With Loss of $10,000 A blaze o f undetermined origin destroyed a barn, livestock and valu­ able farm equipment at 11:30 P. M. Monday on the fdrm rented by M. K. Tavenner, Route 9, Springfield, on the Possum road, north o f Clifton. Mr, Tavenner estimated his loss to be ap­ proximately $10,000. The loss is part­ ly covered by insurance. Mr. Tavenner and his family ha! retired fo r the night when he was awakened by a bright light shining in his room. He got up and saw the barn, which is a structure about 130 by 70 feet, a mass o f flames. Realizing there was no chance o f extinguishing tho> blaze, Mr, Tavenner made a push fol1 the door in an effort to get a calf and some o f his equipment to safety but wa sdriven back by the flames which had by this time enveloped the entire building. He had to content himself With watching the flames destroy thousands o f dollars Worth o f equipment, hay and grain. Mr, Tavenner did not ap­ peal to the city fire department for aid as the blaze had gained too much headway when it was discovered. The bam is about 200 feet from the house) tent as are the banks. Greene County, aggregating $6,467.32.. The injunction suit was filed by the Xenia National Bank, which seeks to be relieved of paying $2,925 assessed! against it; the Citizens National Bank, also of Xenia, claiming $3,200/ .62 was levied against it, and by the First National Bank of Osborn, which asserts it was taxed $341.70 on its shares of capital stock, • , It is charged *by the banks that the Ohio laws under which their shares were taxed were discriminatory and in conflict with the revised federal statutes which prescribe methods and conditions for the taxing o f national banks. The banks allege that the capital stock of other financial institutions und capital in the hands o f individuals used in competition with the banks, are not taxed in the same manner nor to the same extent as is the stock of the national banks. If shares are taxed, “ the tax im­ posed shall not be at a greater rate than is assessed upon other moneyed capital in the hands of individual citizens o f such state coming into competition with the business o f na­ tional banks,” the federal law specifies according to the injunction action. The complaint filed by the three national banks contends that building and loan companies, mortgage, com­ panies and individuals who loan money are in competition with the business o f nntional banks and are not taxed in the same manner nor to the same ex- the latter not being damaged. The property destroyed in the fire included two automobiles, a calf, one mule, a corn planter, harrow, complete set of harness, 30 tons of hay, 100 bushels of- oats and many other valu­ able articles. This is the third fire Mr. Tavenner has experienced during the past five years. The state fire marshall in all prob­ ability will be asked to investigate the cause o f the blaze as rumors have arisen to the effect that the confinga- tion may have been the result o f spite work. Last fall a number o f Mr. Tavennor's hogs were stolen and lie never traced the identity o f the cul­ prit. . U.

Business men and property'owners are lending support to the movement in the belief that such a system is badly needed in the corporation qb a protection of health, to bring about better fire protection and most of all to lower insurance here as has been dpne in other towns. The organization is open to all business men and property owners and very encouraging reports have been received. The public, is realizing that Cedarville to keep pace with oth­ er towns must adopt this progressive step.' In certain- quarters a report has been circulated that if the town adopts waterworks private wells will be con­ demned. This report is without foundation and such an order has never been given in South Charleston, Yellow Springs, Fairfield, or even in Xenia, where they have had water­ works for more than a quarter o f a , century.
