declare that they will turn their atten-

following the arrest today of six vio-

OHIO DRAWS ON
PRISON FOR ROADS
Convict Made Brick Is Chief
Material in State System
Described by Legislator

Ohio will spend 100000 annually
on road building, following a definite
program Including permanent improve
ment In market highways and inter-
county roads, according to Charles
swan OF Cincinnati. speaker of the
Ohio house of representatives and dele
gate to the national meeting of the
knights of Khorassan in Minneapolis
recently. The highways act passed by
the last legislature, levied half mill
tax on all property of the state for
road building purposes. Under the act
the construction of highways is placed
IN the hands of the state highways
commission, and while the county pays
part of the cost, the county commits
sloners have no Jurisdiction over the
general contract or construction
Brick roadways will be built in most
cases, although the plan consists of GER
tain concrete and bituminous macadam
roads. The state has purchased large
tract of land and will use convicts to
make brick for a large part of the
highways of the state. The roads will
be from 20 to 2S feet wide, varying ac-
cording to the extent of travel Mr.
Swain declared that all roads should be
at least 30 feet wide, and if subject to
heavy traffic should be correspondingly
wider. He said the cost of the Ohio
roads is expected to be about $4,000
a mile.
The road law of Ohio, as outlined
by Mr.. Smith. includes the following
provisions:
levy of half mill on all tax
able property of the state, creating
revenue of $4,000, 900 annually.
Control of laying out and con-
structing highways, kgiven to the
state highway commission, with a
provision that the county scommis-
way to be built in the county.
The county is to pay 25 per cent
of the cost of the road, if the rev.
enue of the county is sufficient to
meet his coat with its other ex-
penses. If the county is small the
state pays the total cost of the road
Double system of highways. one
other connecting county seats
making continuity of roads
through the state.
Intercounty roads to be con-
structed of brick, manufactured by
convicts and delivered to the road
commission at cost.
Automobile tax based on horse
power of machines varying from So
to SIS for each machine, to be used
for maintenance of highways.
Endorsement of County Welfare
associations, giving those organiZa-
tionS state aid in construction of
county highways.
Work under the new road law will be
started next year, and this year the tax
commission of Ohio is making surveys
and plans to commence the program as
soon as funds from taxation are avail
able.
