A lamb roast on the beach was the feature of th* picnic. Oame* and contests war* greatly enjoyed. John Schmauch Oto-rataad. apent today In Th* carnival which travels under th* nam* of "Golden Rule Show*" left Amherst Saturday and **v*ral other things, Including a Wll far sign painting Of $96. In order to mak* a little money on th* *lde, th* advanc* man of th* carnival rounded up several politicians, relative to putting up a large aign at th* entrance to th* carnival grounda. Th* politician* conMnted, paid their price and th* sign waa painted by Ray- burn and Webb, of Lorain, and erected, it I* reported that th* idea became a "fluke" when th* aign painter* cam* to collect the money for th* painting of the sign. Th* case is to be heard tonight. Other than leaving th* bill of $95, several other thing* were left, and not of th* beneficial nature. Every evening, until nearly midnight, enough noise wa* being mad* at Brandt's park to keep th* whole town awake. A certain prominent man In town stated, "If a citlxen of Amherat went down there and mad* a* much nola* aa they did, he would be arr**tod." Some of th* show* war* not of th* type that Amherst's young people should attend as wall as some of th* older people. Amherat people want to th* carnival spent their money for something which did not benefit them in any way whatsoever, but helped to mak* th* carnival people rich. If another such show should ask entrance into Amherst th* township trustees ahould toll them that Amherst ie no place for such a ahow and that Amherst people hav* a much hot- tar place to put their money than Into carnival promoters' pockets. Statistics secured from the records of tbe common plea* court provide the following interesting information US comparoel with the figures for the previous yeur: Tbe totul number of civil judgments rendered for the fiscal yeur ending June 30, 1922. wus 425, tbe uumlber for money only being 175, aud those for which money wus included numbered •>- The number of fiscal decrees wus 1 '.'f*. Lust yeur the totul number of judgments wus Will, or in:; more than this year. The total amount of money involved wus $387,233.99, or un uveruge of $1,705 S7 for each Judgment. Last year the total judgments amounted to $71,551.05, uu uveruge of $349.03 per judgment. The report for 1922 shows uu excess of Judgments over last yeur of $315,- 1182.94, these figures being interesting from the fact thai while the totul number of judgments rendered was 103 less than last year, tbe amount of the judgment* Is $315,682.94 more than last year. The largest number or suits filed and foreclosure proceedings Is a reflex of the period through which the country is pausing, following the world war. A reflection of the heavy odds against which city and suburban electric street railways In Ohio had to contend during the general business depression In 1921, is observed in statistics for those companies Just compiled and made public by the state public utilities commission. These figures show that the city and suburban traction companies in Ohio curried 59,299,578 fewer passengers laat year than they did In 1920, tbe totul number of revenue car riders Including transfer passengers for tbe state being 719,242,805 in 1921, aa against 778.542,383 lu 1920. During the pust three months, however, general business conditions have picked up to such au extent that almost ull of the 18 city and suburban car companies in the state are carrying more riders than they were u year ugo at this time. Operating revenues of the companies In 1921 decreased $1,355,066.36 as e eini|,ari-d with 1920. Operators of the properties, however, by practicing rigid economy, muuuged to reduce oper- uting expenses $3,063,386.22 in 1921 over 1920. Despite the fact that the revenue of the car companies decreased during the year, luxe* for 1921 paid by theae same companies increased $99,556.74. the taxes paid in 1921 totaling $3,047.- 993.03. while tbe umount in 1920 was $2,948,436.29. The total Investment lu the city and suburban traction companies ln Ohio at the beginning of this ear was $110,685,740.49, according to tbe ut llll ies commission's figures. Clovis Wiseman of Amherst spent last eveniug In Loruin. Raymond Baumhart of Amhersl was a Lorain visitor Tuesday eveniug.

JUOGMENT8 LESS THAN LA8T YEAR STREET CAR REVENUES DECREASED, EXPENSES INCREASED, LAST YEAR Carnival Leaves Amherst but Takes the Spoils COUNTV FLORISTS HOLD OUTING The Lorain County Florist*' association held an outiug at Beaver Park yeaterday. A lamb roast on the beach was the feature of th* picnic. Oame* and contests war* greatly enjoyed. John Schmauch Oto-rataad. apent today In Th* carnival which travels under th* nam* of "Golden Rule Show*" left Amherst Saturday and **v*ral other things, Including a Wll far sign painting Of $96. In order to mak* a little money on th* *lde, th* advanc* man of th* carnival rounded up several politicians, relative to putting up a large aign at th* entrance to th* carnival grounda. Th* politician* conMnted, paid their price and th* sign waa painted by Ray- burn and Webb, of Lorain, and erected, it I* reported that th* idea became a "fluke" when th* aign painter* cam* to collect the money for th* painting of the sign. Th* case is to be heard tonight. Other than leaving th* bill of $95, several other thing* were left, and not of th* beneficial nature. Every evening, until nearly midnight, enough noise wa* being mad* at Brandt's park to keep th* whole town awake. A certain prominent man In town stated, "If a citlxen of Amherat went down there and mad* a* much nola* aa they did, he would be arr**tod." Some of th* show* war* not of th* type that Amherst's young people should attend as wall as some of th* older people. Amherat people want to th* carnival spent their money for something which did not benefit them in any way whatsoever, but helped to mak* th* carnival people rich. If another such show should ask entrance into Amherst th* township trustees ahould toll them that Amherst ie no place for such a ahow and that Amherst people hav* a much hot- tar place to put their money than Into carnival promoters' pockets. Statistics secured from the records of tbe common plea* court provide the following interesting information US comparoel with the figures for the previous yeur: Tbe totul number of civil judgments rendered for the fiscal yeur ending June 30, 1922. wus 425, tbe uumlber for money only being 175, aud those for which money wus included numbered •>- The number of fiscal decrees wus 1 '.'f*. Lust yeur the totul number of judgments wus Will, or in:; more than this year. The total amount of money involved wus $387,233.99, or un uveruge of $1,705 S7 for each Judgment. Last year the total judgments amounted to $71,551.05, uu uveruge of $349.03 per judgment. The report for 1922 shows uu excess of Judgments over last yeur of $315,- 1182.94, these figures being interesting from the fact thai while the totul number of judgments rendered was 103 less than last year, tbe amount of the judgment* Is $315,682.94 more than last year. The largest number or suits filed and foreclosure proceedings Is a reflex of the period through which the country is pausing, following the world war. A reflection of the heavy odds against which city and suburban electric street railways In Ohio had to contend during the general business depression In 1921, is observed in statistics for those companies Just compiled and made public by the state public utilities commission. These figures show that the city and suburban traction companies in Ohio curried 59,299,578 fewer passengers laat year than they did In 1920, tbe totul number of revenue car riders Including transfer passengers for tbe state being 719,242,805 in 1921, aa against 778.542,383 lu 1920. During the pust three months, however, general business conditions have picked up to such au extent that almost ull of the 18 city and suburban car companies in the state are carrying more riders than they were u year ugo at this time. Operating revenues of the companies In 1921 decreased $1,355,066.36 as e eini|,ari-d with 1920. Operators of the properties, however, by practicing rigid economy, muuuged to reduce oper- uting expenses $3,063,386.22 in 1921 over 1920. Despite the fact that the revenue of the car companies decreased during the year, luxe* for 1921 paid by theae same companies increased $99,556.74. the taxes paid in 1921 totaling $3,047.- 993.03. while tbe umount in 1920 was $2,948,436.29. The total Investment lu the city and suburban traction companies ln Ohio at the beginning of this ear was $110,685,740.49, according to tbe ut llll ies commission's figures. Clovis Wiseman of Amherst spent last eveniug In Loruin. Raymond Baumhart of Amhersl was a Lorain visitor Tuesday eveniug.
