MILES OF BRICK ROAD.

Cleveland, Ohio, June 1S.-Cuyaho- ga County will add sixty miles of ru- ral brick road to its 400 miles of sim liar pavement according to the 1914 road improvement plans announced by County Engineer Stinchcomb, thus strengthening it's distinction of being the best paved rural district of any similar area in the world.
 A minimum width of sixteen feet has been adopted for roads to be laid during the coming summer and the entire expenditure, including fills, bridges, etc, will be somewhat in ex- cess of $9O0,0O0.
 The adaptibility of brick to rural roads was first proved in Cuyahoga County and the policy of building for permanence was adopted here even be- fore automobile traffic drove other localities to copy similar construction. Cuyahoga County has expended more than eight million dollars in this type of road and the repair bills have amounted to practically nothing
 A perfect system of radating high ways now extend to the county line in every direction and the task which Engineer Stinchcomb has outlined is that of connecting these main arter- ies with suitable cross roads.
 In spite of the cost, the county is money ahead, according to county off cials, for the increase in taxable rural land values has yielded more than the total cost in revenue. Cleveland with 600 miles of brick paved city streets will pave about eighty miles of streets this year, including the repaving of some of its main highways.

IN LOCAL FINANCIAL CIRCLES

between the consular officers of the
Latin American countries was held in
New York. with view to mapping out
plans for assisting United States finan-
cial interests in reaching out for this
trade The consul general of Costa
RiCa. by whom the conference was
called. pointed out that at present the
| nlted States is Outranked by half a
dozen powers in its commercial power
in Argentina, Bolivia. and Paraguay.
To remedy this condition the estab-
lishment of Pan-AmeriCan banks was
proposed by which cash would be made
available for merchants through branch
es of banks in New York. 1t was sug-
gested that South American financiers
might be induced to invest in such in
stitutions.
Meanwhile. President Wilson and his
advisers have been busy looking after
the Federal finances. The President, in
a message that met with most favor
able comment, has called upon Con-
gress to replenish the fast shrinking
Government receipts by the imposition
of n war tax. Recognizing the DISPOSE
ton on the part of the public to refrain
from invest ments just now. Mr.. Wilson
strongly advised against the selling of
Federal bonds to supply the money.
To nOStnonc the additional revenue, he
wisely pointed out. would cause the
Treasury Department to weaken the
financial situation by withdrawing from
the national banks of the country more
than s75O0o0o0 that is now deposited
with them.
