OhiO'S Big Sink Hole.

JIM. Sheets, Attorney General, says:
The cost of operating the canals for
the last twenty-five years, over and
above receipts. is % 375, ,324.67. This
does not include great many other
expenses that mu st be charged to the
canals. The canal commission has
done a great deal to increase the re-
ceipts of the canal by way of water
rents, ground rents, ETC. The money
has all gone into the canal fund:
hence, the expense of the canal COM
mission should be charged to the
canals, which will be at least sl60 600
more. A large bonded debt of the
state running at the interst for most
of the time in the last % years should
be charged to the canals; especially
the interest.
Again, the counties throughout
the state, through which the canals
run, have been to great deal of ex-
pense in keeping up canal bridges.
They are more expensive than
bridges over streams. Commission
ers of Franklin county say it aver
age about $4,000 a year in that
county. At the same rate it would
cost the counties of the state through
which the canals run upward of $780,
600 year.
Again, there are large number of
extra appropriations not included in
the above expenses. 1t is great
wrong upon the people of the state
to continue these useless water ways.
If these canals were abandoned and
their banks leased to railroads we
would get from 500, 900 to 5000 a
year clean profit out of the rentals.
Besides large amount of property
would be placed upon the tax dupli-
cate thus further relieving the tax
payers.
