GAS LIMIT SET
AT THREE YEARS
WELLS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO
SUPPLY OTHER THAN DoMES-
TIC CONSUMERS LATER.
EXPERTS MAKE INVESTIGATION
Study Causes of the Recent Gas Short
age in Many Ohio Cities-Much
Suffering Has Been Reported.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Columbus, O.-Within a very few
years, probably not to exceed three,
natural gas companies will be unable
to furnish industrial plants with gas
without endangering the domestic sup
ply, in the opinion of Charles V.
Critchf1eld, gas expert of the state pub
lie utilities commission, who has re-
turned after spending 10 days in the
West Virginia field studying the causes
of the recent gas shortage in Cleve-
land. Cincinnati appears to have es-
capped without serious inconvenience,
but the shortage was pronounced in
Cleveland, which is farther away from
the source of supply.
Proof of the depleted store of ma
tural gas in the $500 wells of the West
Virginia company is supplied he says,
Is in the continued installation of COM
pressor stations, until now nearly a
score are in operation helping force
the gas out of the wells and into the
mains. In the early days the wells
supplied the gas without artificial pres
sure. Now the company must use
enormous artificial means for getting
it out of the wells in the quantities
required by their customers. In case
of word that cold wave is coming the
men are sent out to turn on the wells
and give the extra supply of gas stored
up in previous period of rest. If the
word of the cold wave comes in time
the pipes are filled and the gas sup.
| ply is adequate, but if the time is too
short the wells are not put on in time

HIGHWAY BUILDING IN OHIO
Ten and Half Million Dollars Spent
on s43 Miles.

Columbus, O.-During the year 1915
the state highway department has had
under its direct supervision the con-
struction of 843 miles of road at a
total cost of $10,514,769.67, so the an
nual report of Highway Commissioner
Clinton Cowen to the governor shows.
That Ohio is in the forefront in the
movement for improved highways is
clearly indicated by it's activities in
this direction. The report gives in
brief form a comprehensive and thor
ough summary of the work of the de-
partment during the year, including
the cost in detail
OF the total mileage improved, 226
miles were of brick construction, 159
of concrete and 448 of macadam, in
addition to 10 miles of grading. Des-
pite the extremely unfavorable wealth
er conditions, the department COM
pleted contracts covering $50 miles of
construction during the year.
The report of the maintenance and
repair work of the department indi-
Gates 905 miles of repairs were com
pleted at total cost of S804,753.22, or
1889 per mile. This amount includes
the cost of all repairs on bridges and
culverts and the extensive repairs
made necessary in some places by
floods. The repairs on about 1877 miles
were so extensive as to virtually
amount to rebuilding and cost the sum
of 500, ,38060, or $4,459 per mile. Many
Of these roads were old, worn out
county roads taken over by the state
for the purpose. of maintenance either
by the state alone or in cooperation
with county authorities. The cost pei
mile of what may properly be termed
maintenance and repair of the Other
585 miles was $194,372.62, an average
cost of 1884 per mile.

RUSS TAKE ERzERUM
GRAND DUKE REPORTS GREAT
VICTORY OVER TURKS TO

London, Feb.' 18.-Led by Grand

The blow is the most serious yet
struck at Turkey. Early relief of the
British forces operating in Mesopota-
mia, including the beleaguered garri-
son of Kut- -El-Amara, is predicted.
The fall of Erzerum is expected to
open the way for crushing advance
by the Russians through eastern Ar
menia in the spring. Constantinople
itself might be imperiled. BY this
contemplated drive the Russians, it
is said, hope to bring Turkey to her
knees
More than 10000 Turkish troops
were captured in Erzerum with the
investment of the fortress, according
| to Titiis dispatches. Two noted Ger
man leaders, Field Marshals Won der
Goltz and Limon Won Sanders have
recently been reported at Erzerum. II
is not yet known whether they es
capped.
The Russian campaign was unpar
alelled in military history. The ad
vance was pressed across a bleak and
rugged country, over mountains anr
through narrow defiles in Arctic cold

One Per Cent Law.

In a ruling to Prosecuting Attorney
Hugh F. Newhart, Noble county, it is.
held by the attorney general that the
various road levies authorized by the
Cass highway law are outside the ten
mill tax limitation of the Smith one
percent law and inside the ffteen-mill
limit. The levy of the taxes must be
made by the township before it can
issue bonds, it is further held.
While there is no objection to pro-
posed reciprocal arrangement with
other states for the care of nonresident
insane, the Ohio Board of Administra-
ton is without power to enter into a
binding contract because of the limita-
tions Of the law, the attorney general
says.
He also gave the bureau of account
ing ruling to the effect that the regu-
lar repositories also are repositories
for special teachers pension funds.
The city treasurer is the ex-officio
treasurer in city school districts, the
county treasurer in districts in which
there is no special treasurer and in
districts which have their own treas
urer he is the custodian of pension
funds.
