The amount is bas­ ed on the taxes paid into the treasury in the previous year. It was formerly paid as a whole in the f a ir but was changed by- legislation in order that more revenue could be paid into the general fund at an earlier date to meet the state’s obligations. A study of the deaths of Ohio for the year of 1930,which is the last year for which complete dflta is available, indicates that more deaths occured in age period 70 to 74 than in any other age period. Six causes of deatn were responsible for 77 per cent of "all deaths in this age group, and the causes were: heart disease, cerebral hemorrhage, cancer, nephritis, pneu­ monia, and accidents. During this same year six deaths were reported . over 100 years of age, find 175 deaths over 95 years of age. The death rate for the white people was 11.1, for the negro 18.3, and for all other races 30.4. There were 5,090 fewer deaths in 1930 than in 1929, and 56 per cent of this decrease was in the' rural dis- ban district of the state. .Deputy Supervisor of School Lands J. C, Fowler, in the office of State Auditor Joseph T. Tracy, in his re­ search work runs across some rather vague descriptions in“ copies Of deeds and titles, in various counties of the state. One on record a t the courthouse in Newark, Licking county* describ­ ing a title to a parcel of land states: “Then northwest to near a stone pile where Sam Jones licked Bill Smith.” A number of others which Mr. Fowler run across are just as vague, which tend to make rather indefinite deeds.

HEAVYDAMAGE DUETOHIGHWIND MONDAYNIGHT Spring arrived officially Sunday to be followed Monday evening with the first electrical and rain storm, ac­ companied by extremely high wind. The damage in many sections of the county will amount to many thousand dollars. The storm entered the county near New Burlington and swept north-east leaving a wide strip of territory in a more or less damaged condition. In tha.t village some fire or six homes were unroofed, while barns and small buildings on farms were greatly ' damaged! Part of tfie roof on the M, E. church in that place was removed with damage to the belfry. The farm of Thurman Early on'the Xenia-Jamestown pike near Xenia sustained heavy”damage- to buildings. A sheep barn, two garages, scale house, and other smaller buildings were Wrecked and lumber scattered many hundred feet across-fields. The fine country home of the Barley family was damaged to some extent. Th ehouse and barn on the Spahr farm just east of the Earley land also were damaged, the roof on part of the barn being carried some distance by the wind. The gable end of the Glass home on the same road was blown in and-most all chimneys tumbled over. A barn on the Ed Foust farm .was partially unroofed. ' Minor losses are reported on many farms where a silo was upset-or light buildings turned over and damaged. In Cedarville the only damage of any extent was the lifting of part of the roof from the old Reformed. Presby­ terian church on West Xenia avenue. The telephone company as well a s . the electric and power lines were put put of 'commission in various parts of the county.
