A public hearing on the 1949 budget will be held in the com­ missioners’ office a t the court house, S g xrday morning. Estimated income in the gen­ eral fund next year has been set at $408,997.21 against $454,142.41 for 1948, while the outlay of money has been estimated a t $373,745 as compared with $376,- 345.20 this year. During the current year, $50,000 was trans­ ferred from the sinking fund to the general fund while only $10,- 000 is estimated in transfers to the general fund next year. A salary increase amounting to 15 per cent over their current salaries, is in store for elective county officials beginning new terms in January, as a result of state legislation enacted recently. This outlay will amount to ap­ proximately $8,000, according to County Auditor James J. Curlett. This law affects all elective of­ fice-holders next year except the auditor, one county commissioner and common pleas court judge, whose terms do not expire this year. The salary boost will not become effective for the treasur­ er until September, when his new term of office begins. To offset the salary boosts and increased costs of operation, all down the line, are expenditures occurring this year which are not included in the 1949 budget, The biggest item is $25,000 ear­ marked in the current budget for a countywide reappraisal of real estate, which is conducted every six years. There is a slight de­ crease in funds allotted the board of elections as 1949 will be an off-year election, whereas na­ tional elections are being held: this fall. The county bridge fund has been set up at $58,000 in 1949 against $56,300. in 1948 in*antic­ ipation of new bridge con­ struction and increased cost of maintenance. Estimated receipts in the road fund are listed at $237,202.07 in 1949 agianst $282,202.07 in 1948. This decrease was brought about 'by the fa# that this fund showed a balance of $53,637.99 as of Jan. 1, 1948. The balance at the end of this year is estimated at $7,202.07. Receipts in the bond and re­ tirement fund are estimated at $66,150 with expenditures esti­ mated a t the same amount. The 1948 budget estimated expendi­ tures a t only $16,030 but it was pointed out the county will begin paying off the $950,000 in bonds for the new county hospital next year. Expenditures for this in­ clude a payment of $45,000 on the principal and $21,150 in interest. Fish andGame Assn, toHold Picnic Sept. 1 The Greene County Fish and Game association will hold its annual picnic Sept. 1. at Kieter Grove on Stonp road, reviving a custom abandoned several years ago.

CONFARRS ON TRIP Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Confarr left, Sunday, for a two weeks' trip through the southwest. The -Pantry will be closed these two Seeks* ________ . . . Ohio, as tin* accompanying il­ lustration shows, I? one of only three states which still do not have laws requiring the reporting of motor vehicle accidents to a cen­ tra l agency. As a consequence of this lack Ohio traffic safety experts are agreed, is handicapped in achiev­ ing th» fuUc.'i benefit from its efforts to control motor vehicle accidents. A complete system of traffic accident reporting, it is pointed out, provides facts that will, through study, tell the respon­ sible public officials what needs to be done about any or all fac­ tors in the accident situation. The facts, about traffic accidents are indispen/ible to a prevention plan. It is imperative, according to authorities engaged in traffic safety woik. to ’.now where, when and how motovi-ts and pedes­ trians are being killed ar.d in­ jured, the condition or state of the vehicles, motorists, pedes­ trians, weatht r and road at the time, also details necessary to make the records complete. Intelligent study of the motor vehicle accident problem, these authorities emphasize, requires comparison of records. Scientific traffic planning, for instance, de­ mands that a “before and after” study of accidents be made every Horseshoes to AttractMany At State Fair Amateurs, women and girls and “old timers” will pitch for top honor’s in the Ohio state fair champion-hip horseshoe tourna­ ment. Aug. through Sept. 3. With twice the number of courts on farm lane as were available last year, the state fair tournament will include clar- rcs for the first five place win­ ners in lire Ohio amateur champ­ ionship; trophies for the first three winners in the Ohio state fair championship open to any pitcher who pitches 40 feet; a trophy to the winner of the old timers tourney (70 years or more); trophies to the first three place winners in the wom­ en’s and girls tournament (30 to 40 feet) and a trophy to first and second place winners in the junior class (under 11-30 to 40 feet.) And there will be plenty of lanes open for those who wish to pitch a friendly game with their neighbor without entering any of the classes. G. A. Benedict. Johnstown, president of the Buckeye State Horseshoe Pitchers association, has been named by state fair manager, Edwin J . Bath, to man­ age the courts during fair week, GO TO CALIFORNIA Mr. and Mrs. William Nagley and Mr. and Mrs. W. F. McCoy, of Ohltown, left, this week, for a trip to California, While there, they will visit in Los Angeles and will visit Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Bull and family in Santo Cruiz. time a new traffic control device is installed, or a new regulation affecting accident prevention is adopted. These “before and af­ ter” studies are essential in the formulation of any selective en­ forcement program or any selec­ tive educational program. From them it is possible to ascertain just how, where and when en­ forcement should be applied and how, where and when safety edu­ cation will do the most good. All in all, the compilation and analysis of accident records pro­ vide the facts relative to acci­ dents which are necessary as a basis for the inauguration of in­ telligent corrective measures in the maintenance and construction of highways, in the placing of highway signs and markers, in the installation of traffic signals a t intersections; in efficient en­ forcement and effective public ed­ ucation. The division of traffic and safety of the Ohio highway de­ partment collects and tabulates accidents reported by state high­ way patrolmen, as occurring on state highways outside munici­ palities. However, under this system, it Is impossible to obtain reports on all accidents on rural state highways alone, while there Is no way of obtaining informa­ tion on the number of accidents for the state as a whole.
