These zones will be maintained
until dangerous conditions can be
remedied, the director said.
The director has the power, un-
der Section 6307-21 of the General
Code, to reduce the statutory
speed limit of so miles per hour
to a reasonable and safe speed up
on any portion of state highway
whenever he has determined by

z COUNTY ROADS
ON PROGRAM FOR

Made Possible BY U.s.,
State Assistance In Part
OF Vast Ohio Project

The State Highway Depart
ment's S9,786,837 first postwar
year Federal aid secondary roaG
Improvement program, consisting
of 149 projects totaling 258 mile<
on county and state highway sys-
tenn roads in "a counties, has been
submitted to the Public Roads Adj
ministration for approval, High
way Director Perry T. Ford am
nounced today.
Approval of the vast program
is expected by June l, Director
Ford said and the Highway De-
partment will offer the projects
for sale as quickly as possible af-
ter that approval is received.
In Union county, the following
highways are included:
State Route SO, It's miles from
Champaign county line east to
State Route 4, with new and sal
vaged medium type pavement.
County Highway 286, 4.90 miles
westerly from State Route 81, with
two-line medium type base and
shoulders, grading drainage, struc-
lures and surface by county.
Federal Funds To Aid
Earlier this year, the Highway
Department submitted to the PRA
for approval Ohio's plan for 12,-
200-mile Federal-aid secondary
read system stretching into every
one of the states So counties. It
was necessary to set up such a sys-
! tenn before the state counld par
ticipate in the 1914 Federal High
way Act program. This act author
lied an annual S5O0,0OO,0O0 road
/ improvement appropriation for
distribution to the states for the
first three postwar years, this to
be matched $3.50 by the states.
The act provides that S225,000,-
600 be spent annually for Federal
primary routes, S125,0O0,OOO an
nually for urban routes and $780,
100000 annually for secondary
roads. Ohio's Federal allotment for
each of the three years is primary
routes, $780,, 900; secondary roads,
$4,65S,000; urban highways, ST.
$4,000.
All but AIS miles, or less than
three per cent, of the mileage sub
mitted to PRA as Ohio secondary
road system, was approved. Of the
approved 11,75O-mile system, A.
1929 miles are on local road sys-

G,796.S on the state highway sys-
tenn.

TO REDUCE TRAFFIC FATALITIES

tion that the statutory prima facie
speed limit of so miles per hour is
unreasonable or unsafe for con-
ditionS."
Director Ford has ordered the
speed limit on the section of U.s.
36-37 near the Alum Creek bridge
about halfway between Delaware
and Sunbury reduced to 35 miles
per hour. This bridge has a sharp
curve at each end. The necessity
for frequent repair of guard rail
indicates excessive speed also caus-
ed many accidents at this bridge, -
Mr.. Ford said. The other zone is in
Medina county.
Roadside signs warning motor
lists of the reduced speed limits
will be erected the director said,
and traffic lines and markings will
be painted on the pavement to
guide drivers.
The State Highway Patrol has
| been instructed to enforce the
zone speed limits, Mr.. Ford added
Similar speed zones have been
established in Ohio from time tC

time the Highway Department has
launched a determined and sustain,

Forty-siX of the first-year pro

HIGH PRODUCTION IN 1916
HELD MOST IMPORTANT

The production of high-quality
hay is going to be more important
in 1916 than ever before, accord
ing to county agent d. B. Robin
son. This is because the supply of
grain and the amount of protein
supplements evailable for livestock
is very scarce. Agronomists at O.
hio State university are advising
Ohio farmers to cut their hay ear
ly and say the best time for cut
ting hay in Union county is dur
ing the week of June TIA.
At this time, the feed value is
highest. Early cutting improves
the hay quality because the chem
icaI changes in grasses and le-
gumes are rapid as the plant nears
maturity and the leaves shatter
much more readily from mature
plants than from those less ripen-
ed. A large percentage of the feed
value of the hay is in the leaves
and the finer stems.

Marysville high school athletic
field as a result of the Birch ma
gic show in the Senior high school
auditorium, Thursday evening
Mr.. Birch and his company pre-
sented both afternoon and evening
performances, with good crowds in
attendance at each.
The show is one of the finest
entertainments whcih has been
presented here, and scored defi-
mite hit with both the children and
adults who saw it. Mr.. Birch is a
clever entertainer and his many IL
luSions had the audiences baffled
from start to finish.
People are still talking about his
escape from packing case, his
vanishing pony trick, and the many
other which he presented, guessing
on how they were accomplished.
Probably his most popular trick
was his escape from the heavy
wooden packing case, made for the
show by the Gray Hay co. Mr.
Birch was nailed inside the box.
which had been constructed OF
heavylumber nailed to 2x2 up
rights, and escaped in less than 8
seconds.
Everyone who saw 1t had a diff
ferent version of how the magician
got out, but Mr.. Birch's only COM
ment was "it's really very simple.
