Local Bank Deposits
Indicate Large Savings
Residents of Noble county have a large amount of cash carefully
tucked away in savings accounts in local banks.
They have been steadily socking it away, at a faster rate than
usual, for the past two years. As a
Tesult,
firm foundation now from the standpoint of quick assets.
The findings are by the Fed-
Heart Fund Drive
Now Totals $561
they are on an unusually
eral Reserve Board, which has
iust rendered a report based on
its biennial survey of bank de
posits. Figures are given in it
for nearly every county in the
United States, as of June 23,
1958.
They show, for Noble county,
total of $2,976,000 in savings
accounts (tune deposits) in the
local banks.
Divided by the county's pop
ulation, this represents an aver
age of $252 on deposit in sav
ings accounts for every man,
woman and child.
The build-up in savings has
been due to a combination of
conditions, say the economists.
On the one hand there has been
an improvement in personal in
comes. On the other hand there
has been a recession and, before
that, the threat of recession.
As a result, the public mood
turned to one of caution and
prudence. The attitude becamc:
pay off old debts, buy what i~
needed but pass up the expensive
items, such as cars, which create
new debt.
The deferred spending, or st
least a large part of it, went into
the bank, where it now sits,
ready for action. When it wili
be brought out nobody knows.
But there is enough there to
finance the biggest boom the
country has ever seen.
The Federal Reserve report
shows total funds on deposit in
Noble county banks, in checking
accounts as well as in savings
accounts, in the amount of
$5,934,000.
It is a gain of 7.2 percent over
the $5,532,000 that was on de
posit locally in 1956.
The gain in Ohio as a whole
was 4.9 percent.
National studies indicate that
the American people are bolster
ed by a big economic cushion of
liquid as ets, amounting to sonv
$305 billion. It is a huge poten
tial for buying goods and ser
vices.
State Highways

Slag
Traffic bound highways in
Noble county have been receiv
ing several loads of slat to
maintain traffic on State Routes
663, 724, 285 and 566 according

ed Tree, where a slip occurred
last week.
The local state garage 'has re

material and a supply of No. 34
coar-e slag for use on traffic
bound roads.
Supt. Kearns stated that the
graders owned by the state high
way department are being used
on traffic bound state highways
to keep roads open to traffic.
Commissioners Buy
,000 Tons Of Slag
The Noble county commission
ers purchased 1,000 tons of No
46 crushed slag from the Stand
ard Slag company of Youngs
town, Monday, at their regular

The slag will cost $1.70 per

cost $1.40 per ton shipped to
Quaker City. The total cost is
$3100.
The board also approved the

sis for the protection of real and
personal property under thei
jurisdiction for a period of two
years from March 1,1959 at $500

Mayor Taylor, who is a mem

The Noble county organization
of mayors wa^ perfected by nam
ing Mayor Howiler of Caldwell
as president. Mayor Bailey of
Belle Valley will servers* secre
tary.
Beginning the first of next
year, all cases involving violation
of state codes will have to be
heard before the county court
judge in Caldwell. This would
result in a drastic reduction in
revenues for the villages and at
the same tin^e curtail the power
of the mayors in these com
munities.
A resolution opposing the
present county court or munici
pal court law will be presented
to each of the councils in the
various Noble county villages
and they will be sent to State
Senators Stanley Mechem and
Danny Johnson and Representa
tive Edmund G. James. This
resolution is as follows:
Whereas, the legislation known
as the County Court law (or
Municipal Court law) passed and
amended by the 102nd General
Assembly greatly reduces the
jurisdictional powers of Mayor
Courts as of January 1, 1960
Whereas, such restrictions may

or being in our village and
Whereas, o'cher such provisions
of this legislation may cause such
a reduction in revenue to this
village that in additional burden
may result from increased taxa
tion or curtailment of services
essential to the health, welfare
and safety of this village.
Now therefore be it resolved
by the council of the village of
Caldwell and other villages in
Noble county that the state
senators and state representative
make themselves familiar with
the full impact of this law upon
the village and that they repres
ent in the 103rd General As
sembly so that proper and full
consideration may be given these
municipalities when proposed
amendments and revisions are
presented for consideration on
the floor of the Senate and

C. R. Parrish, of the state
auditor's office, who is currently
auditing the village records, in
dicated that it would be proper
for the village to prepare an
ordinance, establishing an of
ficial record, showing the pay
structure of elective village
officials and all salaried em
ployees.
Meeting in special session last
Friday evening, council voted to
relieve the village marshal of the
customary responsibility of being
street foreman or commissioner.
However, with the marshal's
job will go those duties now
performed by the meter officer,
a combination which the council
men expressed is more com
patible.
The street foreman's job will
be filled by a person capable of
devoting more time to the prob
lems of street maintenance and
general village supervision.
Upon the suggestion of State
Examiner Parrish, the title of
street commissioner will no
longer be applicable, and here
after the job will be referred to
as the village street foreman.
Mayor Chester J. Howiler
stated that the change would
provide a more coordinate work
ing force for the village and at
the same time would permit the
village law enforcement officer
to concentrate on parking meters
and traffic conditions.
Council temporarily appointed
Ray Gould street foreman until
the job can be filled perman
ently. It i^ understood that only
