The 965 inmates have been kept busy gather­ ing 2,161 bushels o f apples, 5,042 lbs. o f ..grapes and 114 bushels o f potatoes, besides cherres, pears, peaches, etc., and the storeroom is filled-to overflow­ ing. Plenty o f fruit has been canned and laid away fo r winter consumption. ThS-band o f 80 members continues giving daily concerts on the campus. The county fa ir season is fast draw­ ing to a close only four being held this week, the Butler County fa ir at Ham­ ilton , Guernsey County at Old Wash­ ington, Morrow at ML Gilead, and Wayne a t ,Wooster.

Governor’s Promise Has Not Been Kept The manner in which the State High way department has handled the let­ ting o f the Route 42 resurfacing con tract is hardly in line with the prom­ ises made by Gov. White two years ago and smacks much o f “ a la Coop­ er.” The local stone Company was low bidder and the stone passed the state test and on this grounds the re­ surfacing company made its bid. By a singular turn the local company next discovered another company fur­ nishing stone and hauling it twenty miles, wearing out other good roads. The people here were mindful of the acts o f the Cooper administration on election day two years ago and it seems the only remedy to get a square deal is fo r the continued defeat of all administrations that do not play fair. In this way the thousands o f motorists that pay the bill,in gasoline tax may eventually or accidently get a man in the highway department that will be able to give all contractors a square deal. With unemployment just as marked here as other places the ad­ ministration fails to keep its promise to the people, j DENIES STATE CHARGES * The International Corporation of |Bogardus, Cox, Edwards and Springer! j herns, Osborn, issued a general denial jto charges contained in' an injunction ! ’ suit filed in.Common Pleas Court- by |the Attorney General office for Theo- jdore Tangeman, State Commerce Di­ rector, in an answer filed by Francis jHoover and Dudley M.

Tax Conimitte Head Corrects Statement Mr. David Bradfute, president of the Greene County Inter-Organiza tion Tax Committee has issued the following statement to correct a for­ mer published article ,relative to the cost o f the Greene County Board of Education as 'compared with former years. Some time ago the Board asked Mr. Bradfute to appear to explain his position in 'view o f._ the published statement, when the actulal figures of cost had been obtained from the office o f the County Auditor. The statement speaks for itself and clears up wrong impression, “ The Interorganization T ax Com­ mittee wishes to correct tfie error ap­ pearing in the .article o f August 6th - A i tfcat time tho article Was published, the Greene County Board of Education ind the Greene .County Superintend­ ent’s office had not been made the subject of any investigation by the committee and the figures submitted were not intended to'apply to Greene County Board o f Education or Greene County Superintendent's office. The statement. “ Erpenaes o f the county school superintendent’s office, including salaries and office costs, showed a 160 per cent increase, rising from $5353 to $13,851 in the period, 1920 to 1931; but the percentage of average increase for the state as a whole was exactly the same, accord­ ing to the committee’s figures” , should have read, “ The expeninAmerica u have read, “ The expense Of the local superintendent’s offices‘ in the county, including salaries and office costs, showed a 160 per cent increase, rising from $5353 to $13,851 in the same period, but the preentage of average for the state as a whole was exactly the same according to the committee’s figures.” According to the figures furnished by the County Auditor, the expense of the County Superintendent’s office for the twelve year period 1920 to 1931 inclusive, showed a decrease from $9081 to $4095, .which amounts to ap­ proximately 46 per cent decrease for She twelve year period. We are glad o correct this mistake as it is not the purpose of the committee to misrep­ resent or attack any organization or jfficial. The purpose being rather to report to the citizens o f Greene Coun­ ty a comprehensive picture o f the present tax situation' and to let the people select their own remedies. Signed—DAVID C. BRADFUTE, Pres. Grefene, County Inter-organiza­ tion Tax Committee.

Two special committees have been at work investigating and ready to make report on^ reductions. One plan calls for a saving of $1,500,000 a year by taking a five per cent deduction from the first $1000 o f salary, 10 per cent from the next $4000 and 15 per cent from all over that. Another measure changes the per­ centages and estimates a total saving o f $1,760,000 by hitting the higher salaries for a larger reduction. The plan is to moke the reduction effective for only two years. . Other legislation proposed is to en­ able building and loan associations to invest in the. stock o f Home Loan banks. To provide fo r housing corporations which-may proceed with slum elimi­ nation and other housing projects, to he financed in part with federal funds.
