Some weeks ago, a bloc of or
ganizations and legislators re-
commended Congress keep the
present gas tax and expand the
program of federal aid to accel-

Direct opposition came from
those who would repeal the pre-
sent tax, scrap federal road aid,
and leave highway development
to the states. Back in November
some state governors adopted {

COUNTY WIDE QUARANTINE

The rabies outbreak in Noble county has taken on such
serious aspect that Health Commissioner Dr. NJ S. Reed
has felt it and advisable to slap quarantine
all dogs in the county.

from Columbus state board of health that animals had
submitted positive rabies said today that it

Dear Sir:
Which factor rules in Noble
county, prejudice or justice?
Last July IL, had the mis-
fortune to be involved in a fatal
accident on narrow route $40 at
very dangerous curve which
the State Highway Department
left UNMARKED. At that time
the investigating patrolman
quoted law saying that any
person breaking law and kill
ing another person while operat-
ing a vehicle regardless of the
circumstances was to be charged
with manslaughter.
Your January IL paper re-
ports similar accident on route
l46 with one exception which
was (to quote your own words)
that it occurred on a wide curve.
l am not writing this letter
because l wish to see this man
prosecuted, but to try to obtain
a truthful explanation from
someone, especially from the
good Corporal at Cambridge,
why this case is any different
than my case of last July. There
is little doubt that the driver of
the coal truck did break a law
of the State of Ohio and the
same law l was charged with,
that is, if the report in your
paper was at all accurate. Why
was he not held and I was rail
roaded" into court for the same
type of accident?
/ shall be waiting for this
letter and a answer to appear in
your paper in the very near
future.
Very truly yours
