CAPITAL CITY ITEMS

Columbus, Feb. 12.-At the expira-
SION of $500 years the state of Ohio
will have completed the magnificent
system of public highways which she
has so auspiciously begun. At that
approximately the spring of the
year 4709 A. D.-the last mile of roads
builded under the present system will
be completed amid general rejoicing,
and persons from the south pole and
other metropoli will gather to cele-
brate the longest job of public improve
ment ever successfully carried out by
any community.
These statements are not testing. A
eerious calculation made by the finance
committee of the lower house of the
legislature yesterday shows that the
present rate of progress in the building
Of roads means the expenditure of ex-
actly that $500 years in covering every
highway in the state. The figures were
brought 10 the attention of the COM
mittee by Representative Fl. F. Ed
wards, of Cleveland, who is opposed TO
the scheme agreed upon, which gives
each county N the state 5000 of state
funds To use I'm road bf.ilding.
