-Four routes are proposed for a
canal from Lake Erie to connect with
the Ohio River. The one showing the
greatest population and total tax du-
plicate is the route from Cleveland to
Marietta. The zone will embrace a
strip rs miles wide on each side of
the waterway. Medina will be in
cluded in this zone, and if the canal is
built should benefit by it. The other
routes are from Toledo to Cincinnati,
Sandusky to Portsmouth via Colum-
bus, and Ashtabula to Pittsburg. The
further towards New Orleans the
Ohio river is tapped the better.
