RIBXJN VOL XXXI WAUSEON, OHIO, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1913 NO. 32 . FULTON ' COUN TAXES FOR 1913 Totals of Levies For 1913 In Fulton County Taken From Abstract of Tax Duplicate. , Sent to Columbus This -Week. Changes Effected By Warnes Law. ' This week the county auditor com pleted the abstract of the tax dupli cate of Fulton county for the year 1913 and filed copies with the State Tax Commission and with the Audi tor of State. The county auditor's office heaved an audible sigh of re lief when this task which is a long and tedious one was completed. The total tax valuation of Fulton county ifor this year was $37,207,330, which . is . just about one million dollars more than it was last year. The to tal amount of taxes in the county for 1 1913 exclusive of the delinquent taxes to be collected and the dog tax is $422,224.39. This amount when col- . lected will be distributed as follows: State Sinking Fund $ 1,246.45 ' State University Fund... 3,441.68 State Common Schools... ( 12,464.45 , State Highway Improver , ment . . . 18,603.67 Total State Tax ........ 35,756.25 County Fund $ 31,592.63 County Poor Fund 7,651.60 County Bridge Fund 25,221.26 County Building Fund 4,585.01 County Indigent Soldiers. 5,608.44 ' County Road Fund ...... ,7,651.60 County Agricultural Fund 1,016.04 "Total County Tax .'.....$ 83,326.58 Township Levies 49,822.36 Local Schools 107,261.61 Village Levies ........... 49,502-9 Miscellaneous, including all ' special taxes ana gen eral road funds 96,555.00 The delinquent taxes for 1912 and former years on real estate amounts to $18,498.62 and on personal prop erty $5,632.18. " The Dog tax for 1913 amounts to $2,050.00. r ' The new tax assessing machinery which goes into .effect next year un der the Warnes Law will make changes in the appraisal and assess ment of taxes which is popularly supposed to take a heavy burden of work from the auditor's Office, but the relief, unless the law is amended this winter,- will not be so great as many suppose. By February of next year the auditor must preparean abstract of all taxable propertyXin the county with valuations as they now are, this of course is necessary in order to give-the new district as sessor a basis from which to work and will only have to be done once. The .district' assessor will have charge of the deputy assessors and the auditor relieved of thai duty but the auditor will act as secretary of the new Board of Complaints, as he has - for the former Board of Equalization, further more under the law as it stands at present the auditor will act as a member of. the Budget Com mittee so from this end of the work he gets precious little release from work. When it comes to the clerical work of making up the tax duplicate part of the work will fall to the office of the district assessor; it will be the duty of this office to make out the tax- books in triplicate, up to the valuations, two sets of these are to be handed over to the auditor who must make out the extensions and deliver one set to the treasurer, retaining j on set in his own office. The major part nf the work lies in this figuring out of the rate and the amount of . taxation on each tax valuation as de termined by the district assessor Persons desiring to know in ad vance what their taxes will amount to will have to apply to the auditor ' as at present, the set" of books re tained by the district assessor arev not required by the law as' it now stands, to have the extensions carried out, nor - does the law require the ' district assessor to figure out these extensions. . State levies will-be cer tified direct to the district assessor but all special tax for ditches, streets, , buildings, etc, will be certified to the auditors office as at present . The idea that the auditor's office will be robbed of most of its work is a mis taken one.

Routine work was disposed of and the engineers par tial estimates for work as completed on East Elm, Brunell and Franklin streets were heard and the necessary provisions made to pay them. The con tractors have concentrated their work ing forces on Brunell street in an en deavor to complete that street; the season is to far advanced to com plete the streets that are to have the asphalt finish this year and the work will have to wait until the sunshine of next spring. - Several pieces of sidewalk were considered and orders vere issued to property owners to build forthwith or tne village would proceed to build for them. The con ditions existing at the intersection of Commercial and Brunell streets, brought about by the installation of the new Lake Shore side track to the mill buildings, wera considered and the street committee determined to view the premtees and order such changes as should eliminate danger to vehicles passing from Commer cial to Brunell .streets, or vice versa, as far as possible. Lij?hts, sewers and street condi tions furnished the old familiar sub jects for discussion, subjects that are ever with the council members and which seem never to fail for Droblems more or less intricate. I But two more regular meetings re main for this present council. The first of January they will hand over their responsibility and their prob lems to their successors.. Whatever may or may not be charged against tile present council they certainly, cannot be justly charg ed of inactivity. They have "done things' and the things they have done will remain r aa memorials of their Activities. . Birmingham, Ala., F. - L. Willis, suffered greatly from asthma and bronchitis.

This time it is Pro fessor Earnest D. Waid and his bro ther, Benson Waid, both Fulton coun ty boys whose success we take real pleasure and pride in recording. The Springfield Sunday Union, of Spring field, Mass., in its issue of October the 26th, publishes under the caption, "Prof. Waid's Farm Talk of Am herst", an article describing a big potato crop raised by Prof. Waid and his brother, Benson, this season; the article is illustrated with views of the potato field and pays glowing tribute to the skill and ability of these two Ohio boys. Earnest has for the past two year3 been the as sistant director of the Extension De partment of the Amherst-Agricultural College. Soon after entering up on his duties at Amherst Prof. Waid purchased an old farm of 33 acres lying at the foot of Amity street in that town, and this past season, he planted a plot of 2 and 13-20 acres to potatoes, Green Mountain variety, securing a yield of 403 bushels to the acre without counting the small ones. ' The crop was sold at good prices and his seed potatoes, are in great demand. Prof. Waid has also scored a suc cess in dairying and in market gar dening. ' His services in the exten sion work of the college is very' high ly spoken of; the people find it prac tical and .convincing as he speaks from experience rather than theory.

Tuthill was appointed last week to fill the new office created by the Warnes Law, in Fulton county. Dr. Tuthill is receiving the congratu lations of his many friends and it is generally conceded that a wise choice has been made by the commission in selecting him to fill this new office in this county. Dr. Tuthill has been a resident of Wauseon for the past thirteen years during which time he has practiced his profession of dentistry. Associat ed first with Dr. F. L.

Dr. Tuthill has taken an active in terest in public affairs since he has been a resident of Wauseon and made a record for faithful and efficient public service as a member of the Wauseon Board of Education during the building of the high school a period during which that of fice was no sinecure. As a Democrat Dr. Tuthill has been a prominent and DR. GUY B. TUTHILL earnest worker enjoying the confi dence and esteem of the members of that party, as evidenced by their choice of him as a member of the Board of Deputy State Supervsiors of Elections, he serving as chief deputy of this board until his resignation last spring. Dr. Tuthill has the respect and con fidence of all who know him and his appointment will give general satis faction, among the people of the county, whether or not they are in favor of the new system of assessing tax valuations.- . . Dr. Tuthill will have no easy task when he assumes the duties of his new office early in the coming year; he will have no precedent to follow as to the conduct and work of the office as he would were he succeeding to some office already established, but will practically have to install a com plete new system. Regardless of party lines Dr. Tuthill deserves and should have the co-operation of all citizens in the discharge of his dut- How to Treat Sprains For sprains and bruises rub on and rub in "thoroughly Hanford's Balsam of Myrrh.
