Additional Acreage
Makes Storage Space
Far Road Materials
Noble Countians can now well
be proud of their county high
way garage.
During the past several
months, county highway em
ployees have been periodically
engaged in making needed re
pairs to the old building, and
obviously laboring to make the
surrounding grounds a bit more
presentable.
Improvements on the building,
according to County Engineer
Homer Weedon were done with
the idea of projecting additional
safety for the employees of the
county highway system. Pre
viously, all vehicles entered the
garage from the southern ex
posure, which always created a
traffic hazard because of the
nearness of State Route 78.
The changeover has eliminated
this phase of moving the county
equipment directly from the
state highway. Five large en
trances or doors were construct
ed on the northern approach to
facilitate this particular opera
tion. For needed conveniences,
one door was permitted to re
main on the south side of the
garage. All others were closed
permanently with concrete
blocks.
The five doors on the northern
section of the building will en
able the county engineer to
house necessary equipment from
the cold weather, and at the
game time maintain the repair
department with a certain de
gree of efficiency. However, a
glance at the present housing
facilities of the county garage
does not permit the county en
gineer sufficient storage space
for vital supplies and equipment.
The entire building has been
painted a bright yellow and its
appearance indicates a well
maintained and efficient operat
ing unit.
Landscaping the area sur
rounding the garage, has great
ly enhanced the entire county
setup. It required the moving of
several thousand feeet of ground,
and this was done with county
equipment. The ground was used
to fill an existing gulley which
previously was used to no ad
vantage.
With this work completed, ad
ditional acreage was developed
to stock vital road materials and
will also provide sufficient park
ing space for the county equip
ment and employees' cars.
Where possible erosion could
result, landscaping these banks
was accomplished with seeded
grass and covered with straw.
With the availability of city
water, County Engineer Weedon
has installed an open wash rack
to wash county mobile equip
ment. Superintendent of county
highways, Elijah Danford, stat
ed Tuesday, these improvements
have enabled the working crews
to operate more efficiently.
Superintendent Danford noted
with a great deal of satisfaction
how rapidly trucks can now be
loaded from the huge material
stock piles as pictured in the ac
companying photo.
In all, Noble countians can

Two Million Tons
Of Coal Mined In
Noble County, '52
Production Expected
To Increase During
The Coming Year
There has been a 400 percent
increase in mining from the
Meigs Creek Bed in the past
eight years and nine mines in
Noble county last year took
nearly 1 Is million tons of coal
from this seam.
Ohio coal production in 1952
totaled 35,487,231 tons and could
double by 1975, says Marian S.
Klein of the state division of
geological survey.
He cautions "depressing fac
tors" might dtyelop to lower this
figure estimated for the coming
years.
Production of coal in Noble
county in 1952 totaled 1,866,647
tons, Totals published for our
neighboring counties were:
GueVnsey, 47,002 Monroe,
10,000 Morgan, 33,321 Musk
ingum, 1,341,999 and Washing
ton, 167,797.
Of 691 mines reporting last
year, 289 were strip mines. No
figures are given on Ohio's total
coal reserves. However, an in
dication of the extent of the re
serves is provided by a summary
of a detailed report on "Meigs
Creek No. 9" seam. Reserves on
this seam are estimated at four
billion tons, of which less than
1.2 percent has been enhausted.
The four billion ton reserve
in this one coal bed alone
amounts to more than twice the
total of all coal mined since
Ohio entered the Union 150
years ago. The remaining reserv
es in the Meigs Creek Bed are
believed to be the largest in any
of Ohio's easily available coal
deposits, except perhaps the
Pittsburgh No. 8 seam.
^inci Offenses
Result In Fines
'!ui' .lay alti'nioon, two cases
succession were brought be
fore Mjfyor Homer Johnson in
his court in City Hall, both by
State Highway Patrolman Wil

turn without giving any signal.
His fine was $5.00 and costs.
George Harper of South Olive,
was fined $10.00 and costs by the
mayor for driving a truck with
too high a load. He was arrested
by the patrolman after some of
the stone he was hauling from
the Merry quarry west of Shar
on, flew from his truck, narrow
ly missing the windshield of the
patrol car.
Last Friday, Nov. 13, Junior
O. Clark of South Charleston,
W. Va., was fined $5.00 and
costs after he was charged with
driving left of center by Patrol
man Milcy.
