Public Salaries Per
Capita Cost Is Hiqh

Noble county has one of the
highest per capita cost for
salaries and wages paid to county
officials and employees in the
state of Ohio, according to a
report released today by Auditor
James A. Rhodes.
The 1856 salaries and wages
paid to Noble county employees
amounted to $219,547 or a per
capita cost of $18.68.
This is next to the highest in
the state with honors going to
Pike county, where the per
capita cost was $22.99.
Pike county has a population
of l4,607 and a payroll of $685.
S46. Noble county has a popula-
ton of slightly more than 1000
with a payroll of S219,547. The
per capita cost is, of course, due
to the small population in this
county, since it requires prac-
tically the same officials to carry
on government duties, whether
it be large or small.

Madison County's Road And Bridge
Projects Aimed At Increased Safety

Madison County's Road IN d
Bridge Program is one of the best
in the state, and the work of the
Madison County Engineers De-
partment is kept at steady pace
to keep the program on top. In
cluded in the work of the depart
ment, under the supervision of En-
gineer Helge G. Ekedahl, is maj
or problem of repairing, replacing
and maintaining one hundred three
bridges, all more than twenty feet
long. (Culverts, those under twen-
ty feet in length, would add sever
al hundred more to the total, and
they might we'll be added, because
they too must be kept in repair
Actually, there is continuing
program underway to replace the
many DID, narrow, low capacity
bridges to meet the needs OF to-
days transportation methods. The
older bridges were from fourteen
to sixteen feet in width, and were
strong enough to support what
ever traffic was generally using the
road when they were built.
Today the, bridges are all being
built at least twenty feet wide and
strong enough to carry the legal
loads of $4,000 pounds. The fore
sight of the County Engineer Exc
dahl has practically eliminated the
problem of breaking down of
bridges. Accurate and frequent in
spection sees that the bridges are
replaced before they are in the
state where they will endanger the
lives of the residents of the county.
In the past year seven of the
bridges have been replaced with
the new, better structures which
permit heavier traffic without
danger. OF the seven built. six were
done with labor normally used by
the Engineers Department. The
seventh bridge was done with part
contract and part county labor,
thereby keeping the cost down to a
minimum for the work done, and
the value received.
One of the major projects this
year has been the new bridge over
