COUNTY RELIEF COSTS ASTOUNDING Now that the federal government and the state government have un­ loaded a greatly built-up relief sys­ tem on counties, cities and townships to be directed from higher political sources for political purposes and the cost to be paid by Greene county tax­ payers, >it is the purpose o f “ The Herald” to give the reading public a small picture o f what cost shave been the past few months and what they may be the coming months un­ less the tax paying, public enters protest. While the figures quoted below show what the county has been payirig it is not necessary a reflection on the busi­ ness interests that have been paid these sums for no doubt all have given true values. The payment o f these sumB on the part o f the county has been a part o f the duty o f public officials but the reader will certainly realize what a costly system has been forced on the taxpayers o f this as well as every other county in the state. Under the proposed system the same political powers, that have ordeed coal, food, clothing, etc., which the county has paid in the past, this cost will now fall on each o f the twelve townships and Xenia city. The Herald has taken the following items from records in the office o f the County Auditor for the larger sums. Vouchers for $25 and under in most cases have been ignored but it can be said that these sums omitted would total several thousand dollars. The names o f the firms are from every section o f the county, though a large per cent o f the payments are to Xenia firms where about 57 per cent o f the relief orders were issued. The dates represent approval by the county com­ missioners, the firm name, for what purpose and the amount o f the pay­ ment from the county poor relief fund. DECEMBER 5TH Chambliss Bros, and Son, groceries, TAKES PROPERTY William Delinger, a defendant in a partition suit filed by Marjr A.

Davey has insisted that we must have higher reappraisal fo r property to raise more'tax funds for more relief. That seems to be the New. Deal theme song from Washing­ ton to Columbus. This past week a Democratic At­ torney General gave a ruling to Democratic State Tax Commission, appointed by Davey that it was man datoify that the county auditor o f each county in Ohio re-appTaise all real estate and improvements to get more tax funds. Most rural counties like * Greene county do not know where funds can be secured to pay the cost o f an ap­ praisal under plans laid down by the extravagant tax commission. The cost o f appraisal in this county is estimat­ ed to exceed $18,000. Under the ruling the matter o f fin­ ance is up to the various hoards of county commissioners who must pay the bill. These boards face a serious problem. As a suggestion the com­ missioners might, submit to the elect­ ors for approval first a bond issue for !18,000 to pay the bill. If this.should be defeated both the commissioners, the State Tax Commission and Gov. Davey would get an expression as to how the taxpayers in Greene county stand. If the Tax Commission still insists on a fifteen or twenty per cent in­ crease in valuations on homes and farm land, renters might just as well get ready to meet increases in rent.
