This result has been achieved by persistent effort in the face o f many diffiiculties and not without consid­ erable trouble. Mr. Galloway has hopes of further decreasing the .volume of waste water at Cedarville. His has been a notable achievement of much importance to the industry and he is to be congrat­ ulated, It certainly is to be hoped that his good success will continue; indefinitely. As for stream pollution—there is none below the Hagar Straw Board &, Paper Co. at Cedarville. •—Ohio Health News Washington Trip For School Winners A five day sight-seeing trip to Washington, D.

COUNCILMUST REDUCESTREET LIGHTINGCOST The village legislative body had an experience Wednesday night that has not fallen on council for many years. The problem of finance is just os im­ portant t tohe public as to the individ­ ual. Although the village had an in­ crease in the real> estate duplicate of several thousand dollars, the person­ al duplicate has slipped to nothing un­ der classification; For this reason there must be a, curtailment o f local activities along many lines and the public muBt be content without part of the electric lights. Mr. E. H. Heathman, representing the Dayton Power & Light Co., and City Solicitor Harry D. Smith, met with council to get a working agree­ ment-suitable to the company and council. ________________________ _— u_ ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. m i l l Lawn | Garden | Beautification!

The planting of trees is to be general this y&ar in recognition of the event, so that Arbor Day this year is to be out standing and its purpose to be contin­ ued for some months yet. This move­ ment for tree planting is being en­ couraged by most all divic organiza­ tions. There are many trees to be planted in This section by various organiza­ tions. Just where has been a prob­ lem and the Herald has selected one place where such trees will have cate and attention, especially during the first few years. Consent has been given by the Board of Public Affairs for tree planting by organizations or individuals on the water-works site that should be beautified as it will al­ ways be public property, so far as one might guess at this time, The site is not only granted but the Board through its chairman, Mr. Ralph Wol­ ford, goes so far as to give aid in this work without expense of the or­ ganizations. All that is required is the provide the tree. Some regulation as tf>location must bo observed. Let's get behind this movement and boost.

(Continued bn page 2) It -was generally understood that smaller or lower candle power lamps must be' used and about one-third o f the present' lamps' dropped, until such time as funds are available. Council took the initiative,in the matter rath­ er than incur a debt on the village by having unpaid light bills. Mr; Heath- man will submit a plan where lamps can be dropped and yet give each sec­ tion all the light possible until funds We secured, and no one knows at this time when that will-be. „ Different methods were discussed to going on the mid-night schedule or dropping some lights.. Council only received about $303 for street light­ ing for six months when the bill un­ der the contract is $161.16 s month.. The plan now is to get the cost down to’ about $55 a month and many of the lights must be cut off. ' For the pro­ tection of property it was the general- opinon that we needed lights more af­ ter midnight for protection than be­ fore that hour. While most property .owners paid about the same tax on their real es­ tate, a few paid more due to higher valuations.-. We have secured Bome figures that citizens may know just what council faces in finances. The duplicate for 1931 was real es­ tate $658,330; personal, $536,910, with a total o f $1,198,240. The duplicate for 1932 is; real es­ tate, $739,880;. juidito)^* eft - present returns, most o f which are\ now in is: $88,270. This bring*, the total village duplicate down to $828, 100, a loss over 1931 o f $367,140. The estimated income under clas­ sification • is intangibles $1,513.70 and on personal property $ 10 1 , a total ’ o f $1,614.70. It is plainly evident to all that while real estate in most cases has paid more taxes this year, person­ al property and intangibles escape with little or no tax. ” There will be. ho funds for street improvement or repair other than the ■ village’s' share o f gasoline tax and ’ the .license tax. The percentage for the later when the law was changsd cut the village’ s share, the difference going to the state highway depart­ ment. It is also almost certain at this time that council will not have funds to provide the new pump for the last well at the water plant;, due to the tax law. The situation is no .fault of the officials who had nothing to do with passing the tax law. It will no| be pleasing to property owners to pay more taxes on their real estate and then not have some of the protection and advantages of the past under the old law. Fire and police protection is to be cut to the lowest point to keep the village from running in debt. The , village has not had a deficit in forty ydars and council will eliminate many things to live within the income and have no debt. The public must face the situation as it is for council is not responsible for increasing the real estate duplicate, nor the law that has shrunk the personal duplicate to a mere pittance. The story is best told by pointing out that property owners have been "classified”, while owners of personal property have been exempted, XENIA ROTARY CLUB PRBk PARES FOR HOBBY FAIR The Xenia Rotary Club is staging the first annual Boys’ Hobby Fair to be opened May 6 in the Jobe Brothers Co., building in that city.
