Democratic Northwest. [volume] (Napoleon, Ohio) 1869-1894, 1882-05-25

The Ohio Legislature during its last
81 ssion passed law regarding the haul
ing Of heavy loads over Aacadamized
roads. which Il may be well for farmers
and teamsters tn carfully read and re-
member. The law, which took effect
April 10. 1882. va passed 10 prevent the
free roads in Ohio from being cut up by
hauling too heavy loads over them during
the season OF the year when by reason
OF the rain and snow the roads are soft
and easily damaged. Section 1904 Of
the law provides:
1T shall be unlawful for any person or
persns, firm or corporation, either by
themselves or agent, in any county
having free Macadamized or graveled
roads, as specified in Section 1876
(Revised Statutes) to transport between
the 10Th day of May Of each year over
such roads in a vehicle having a tire Of
less than four inches in width a burden
of more than two thousand and five
hundred pounds, provided. however,
that whenever the said roads are suffi-
ciently dry or frozen to bear up burdens
of greater weight than is herein specified,
then and in that case the restrictions to
burden of two thousand and five
hundred pounds shall not be in force"
The penalty attached to the violation
of this law is not less than five nor
more than fifty dollars. The Board OF
Commissioners Of every county constitute
a board of directors, who shall have
supervision of the matter, and shall
regulate the weight that may be carried
on wagons with tire wider than four
inches.

Roads and bitches.

No portion Of Ohio is more rapidly
progressing and improving than the
Northwestern, and no where certainly
can be found more fertile and produc-
tive soil. "A good deal Of labor, how.
ever is necessary for its full develop.
ment and proper cultivation. It is
level, fiat, with deficiency in natural
drainage and much ditching is there
fore required. In Henry county a
great deal has been done, much of it,
we regret, extravagantly, with little
Judgment and to little purpose, - The
land in many instances is subject to
assessments which seem unreasonable
and excessive, but, we believe the
benefits are fully remunerative.
3 The Commissioners, as appears from
the return Of the commission appoint
ed by the court to examine their an
nual report have caused the bonds Of
the county to be issued in payment Of
some Of these assessments, to the ex-
tent Of $4e,OOO--most of these bonds
being issued on old ditch certificates
and mostly to assignees. County
bonds should never have been issued
for this purpose. It was a great and,
to use a mild term, serious blunder

special assessments, under recent de-
cislon Of the Supreme Court, (Horse-
