Serious Fire Is
Prevented Sunday
Near Belle Valley
What could easily have been
a disastrous fire Sunday after
noon at 2:20 o'clock was averted
by the quick thinking of the
owners, Mr. and Mrs. Marshall
DeVolld, Caldwell route 6, near
Belle Valley.
Mrs. DeVolld first saw the
flames shooting from a large
barn, which was filled with tons
of baled hay.
The Belle Valley and Caldwell
fire departments were immedi
ately called but their services
were not needed.
The family pulled out the
burning bales of hay which were
located on the run-way of the
barn and thus prevented it from
spreading.
The loss could have been a
severe one for the large barn
was completely filled with hay.
The family advanced the
theory that the fire had been
started accidentally by one of
their small grandsons.

New Tax Levy To Pay For Village
Street Lighting Aired At Meeting
Main order of business at the Tuesday night meeting of the
Caldwell village council was the discussion of proposed rate in
creases on the village utilities, water and electrical service.
Members of the village board of public affairs, R. D. Buckey
and Charles Evilsizer, were present in the interest of advising council
the need for "increased facilities in the water department. They
proposed that an additional
settling basin tank be installed
at the water plant.
Board Recommends Raise
In Water And Electricity
Rates For Caldwell Users
The recommendation was made
on the basis that at the present
time the pumping facilities are
in use 21 to 23 hours a day and
the present basin is lacking in
the capacity to take care of the
increased consumption.
Facilities are present for an
additional Alteration bed, and
the site needs only to be com
pleted. Council gave the auth
ority to proceed with estimates
on the job and to draw up plans
for the basin which would take
care of future needs.
No facilities in this direction
have been added since the sys
tem was installed in 1935, and
the board made the recommenda
tion on the increased demand of
consumers.
A proposal was made to take
care of the added cost by increas
ing present water rates.
Light Increase
A proposal was also made that
the electric light rates be given
a slight boost to offset increased
costs of production and increased
use of municipal facilities.
