TAX DECREASE SEEN BY PREBLE COUNTY AUDITOR THIS YEAR

EATON, O., April 16 Decided de-j crease in the value of the personal tax of Preble county, as compared with last year, will be shown this year, according to the belief of County Auditor S. C Hunt, who bases his statement upon the returns made at this time by approximately 1,500 of the 8,000 or 9,000 persons who make personal tax returns. The limit for filing voluntary tax returns expires April 30, as the first day of May. the date fixed by law, falls on Sunday. Those failing to get in within the time limit will forfeit the $100 exemption. Auditor Hunt will have the several assessors of the county meet in his office May 2 and be sent into their respective districts to ferret out those who may fail to make returns.. To Issue Certificates Certificates of indebtedness aggregating $45,000, to run six months and to bear Interest at the rate of six per cent, will be issued by the county commissioners in order to proceed with necessary road repair work. The certificates are issued in anticipation of the collection of a onemill levy for two years for county roads, the electors of the county adopting the proposal at the November, 1919. election. The commissioners resolution for the certificates of indebtedness issue sets forth that it is necessary because the county road repair fund Is exhausted. Combine Club Work. Federation of boys' and girls' club work In Preble county has been effected, under co-operation of the county farm bureau, county grange, county schools, county fair board and other agricultural bodies, and the chamber of commerce of Baton. Tentative plans for development of the work includes a big picnic thi3 summer for the boys and girls, to be given by one of the agricultural organizations. It has also been proposed that the chamber of commerce give them a banquet, and the schools give medals to club members completing the work. The fair board will encourage the work by offering suitable premiums for displays of club work at the county fair. Next fall or earl7 in the winter a corn exhibit will be conducted, at which members of the club will be given opportunity to display their products. It is likely prizes will be offered in order to stimulate interest.
