bids. said that he would not take the
work unless he could have both con-
tracts. He said that unless given
both he would add $4,000 to his bid
for one of the sections. BY reason OF
the roads being let by the state de-
partment and not in separate parts
by each county, Culbertson was given
the whole at his reduced figures. By
having the entire "a miles, the con

Compilation of the death sta

more mortalities of persons below ]
year of age than for any five years
period of life thereafter. There were
$3.50 deaths in Ohio during 1913, OF
which 1892 were males and 31,107
females. Of the deaths 1854 were
whites and 1924 were black, and IL
of races other than Ethiopian and eau

The deaths of infants less than ]

those of 1 year were 1882. The death
rate is only half as great for the next
