Last Week esday, Feb. 15, is another ne in Cambria County. Personal property returns must be filed with county commission- by that date. out 5,000 personal property return blanks were mailed out from the commissioners office last Friday. The blank forms also may be obtained at the Court- ip of ward assessor. | person in the county who owns taxable personal is required to make a return. Such property includes mortgages stocks, bonds, promissory notes, judgments, articles of agreement | and similar investments. Govern- | ment bonds, postal savings and | savings. accounts are excluded from the taxable list. Likewise, stocks or bonds held in Pennsyl- vania corporations that pay a five-mill tax to the state are not taxable by the county. : The return blanks provide a space for owners to list any hold- ings about which they are in any doubt regarding whether it is tax- able,. If not taxable, it will be excluded when the returns are checked in the commissioners of- fice. The four-mill tax on personal property netted the county $43,- 809 last year. Owners of taxable personal property were reminded that the law provides specific penalties for any person who wilfully fails or refuses to file a return _contain- ing the required information. Fai- lure to make a return calls for a penalty of a fine up to $500, a jail sentence of not more than six months or both.

Michigan now has a 500-foot section of “hot road” which has melted snow this winter. Opera- tion costs have been about $1 per hour. The Detroit Public Lighting Commission (PLC) and the State Highway Department installed the electrically heated sections last fall on a heavily-travelled highway at the edge of the city. Harold F. Wall, PLC assistant general manager, said the de- frosting process eventually might put a stop to snow-clogged high- ways which frequently halt travel in many parts of the country. Wall said he believed this was the first time such a project has worked successfully. “I understand an electric com- pany tried it once, but they in- stalled their heating elements be- neath the pavement instead of in it as we have done. That didn’t work out,” Wall said. The de-icing experiment origi- nally was begun in connection with two super-highways now be- ing constructed in Detroit. If the heating elements are successful by winter's end, they will be in- stalled in ramps leading to over- passes. Wall said the heating element useed was 98-foot, 14-gauge wire installed in two tracks, 18 inches wide. As a further test, one track was imbedded in “blacktop” and the other in concrete. Wall said he had discovered no appreciable difference. The $1-per-hour operation cost has not been considered high when compared with snow remov- al costs. The price for installation will be practically negligible when the wires are imbedded during highway construction. Possibilities for the new tech- nique are many. Not only will snow covered and icy bridges be eliminated, but the project can be extended to storefront sidewalks De-Icing Plan Works Successfully In Tests o Rent Office Again Outlines Basis For Legal Eviction Leo H. Akers, area rent direc- tor, again reviewed the grounds on which tenants can be evicted. County courts are handling all eviction cases, he pointed out. The rent office does have the right, however, to take court action to prevent evictions on specified rounds. The first class of allowable ev- ictions embraces those in which the tenant fails to live fp to his obligations. Such cases include nonpayment of rent, breaking of various rental agreements, com- mitting a nuisance, or using the property for illegal or immoral purposes. The landlord also can effect a legal eviction for any one of the following reasons: 1—If the landlord wants the premises for his own occupancy of for the occupancy of his im- mediate family. 2—If the landlord has con- tracted in -writing to sell the dwelling for the purchaser's im- mediate occupancy. He cannot legally evict a tenant in order to sell to someone who is going to continue to use the dwelling for rental purposes. 3—If the landlord wants to de- molish the building, or alter it substantically for continued hous- ing accommodations of convert it into additional housing units, and the work cannot be done while the tenant remains in occupancy. 4—If the landlord intends to withdraw the unit from the rent- al market. However, in order for legal eviction the law prohibits any further rental of that unit as a housing accommodation.

Individual Fines For Gambling Here Cost Less In 48 The cost of gambling fines is going down, as shown by records at Ebensburg during the past year—but arrests are up. During 1948 the number of gambling arrests in the county was more than double the 1947 total, but the county’s “take” in fines increased only about 21% percent, In 1947 the average fine of $163 was paid by each gambler taken into court. Last year the average fine was down to $95.50. County detectives and Johns- town police made a total of 118 charges in gambling cases last year—Ilotteries, tipseals, numbers, cards, lice, and horserace bookies. This was more than 100 percent over the 56 cases in 1947. Ninety eight fines were imposed netting the county $9,360. In the cases where the same defendant was arrested twice for the same offense, the court fined him on one charge and suspended sentence in |the other. This accounts for 20 cases in which no fines were im- posed. Records of Clerk of Courts Jos- eph C. Wess show that fines were imposed in all 56 cases in 1947. |The county netted $9,125, just $235 less than during 1948. First offenders usually are fined only $50 and subsequent offenses have been drawing fines of up to 50. After each major war in which the United States has taken part, prices have gone up rapidly, ac- cording to Penn State extension agricultural economists. As SEEN IN VOGUE ed=ok.
