The Ohio river commission has filed its
report with Governor Mckinley and Ssti.
mates that at an average cost of 5000
per mile it would require O00o.O0O
dollars TO improve all the roads In thu

mate that the average cost Of trunsp1rtn-
ton by horses or wagons over country
roads is In any event about twenty five
cents per ton mile as coutrasted with
about onchnlf cent per ton mile for
transportation by steam over railways.
Arguing from this prohibtve cost Of road
construction. and from the waste In any
transportation by horse power. over oyer

the laying of steel rails on highways aud
the substitution Of electric or other IN
