To Authorize Issue of Books.
For the past six years the legisla.
ture has successfully resisted attempts
to get through a resolution for the
printing and issuing by the members
of Howe's Historical Collections of
Ohio, which comprise two volumes. A
movement has been started to have
the present general assembly authorize
another issue of these books, which
give the history of the state up to
1888. For years each legislature
would provide for such issues for no
other reason than to add to the per-
quisites of the members. The judi
cious distribution of these sets by the
members was calculated to produce
votes when needed Members Of the
senate are making inquiry as 10 the
probable cost of another issue Of the
volumes. The state owns the plates
for the books.
