RESOLUTION. _ _ _ _ ' s Be It Resolved, By the Board of County Commissioners o f Greene County, Ohio, now acting as a Board o f Directors f o r said County,, and for the "purpose o f prescribing add fixing in accordance with the provisions of Section 7477 o f . the General Code, the burden which Persons, Firms or Corporations may. transport over the .macadamized, graveled or stone roads within the County, be and hereby is ' fixed, fo r any vehicle having less than Three Inch Tire, including the veight of,veh icle and driver, 3400 pounds: Three Inch Tire, including the weight o f vehicle and, driver, 3600 pounds; Four Inch Tire and Over, including the weight o f vehicle and driver, 3800 pounds. Thd law provides a fine of not less than Five Dollar!*, nor more than Fifty Dollars, against any per­ son violating the above regulations as to the Use o f Public Highways. BOARD OF COUNTY COMMIS­ SIONERS, Of Greene County, Ohio. Xenia, Ohio* Oct. 4, 1916. S> t*ar tiWMf D p . M m * PM m The legislature will recess on March 8 th until the 20 th when the work o f this session closes. So far few bills have been passed, the most important one pertaining to the work­ men’s compensation law which will deprive liability 'companies to write industrial •insurance in this state, number of good measures are before both houses but few have a chance o f passage. There are the new election bills, taxation measures, road laws and financial relief fo r cities which have a good chance. We would like to see a bill passed that would empower the state high­ way commissioner t o . compel village counsels to improve streets where the state of other, officials had im­ proved highways oh each side. In hundreds o f cases where new roads have been constructed the town, city or village has failed to improve the ' street through the town connecting the improved highway. We have such a case iH Xenia. We had it here last winter and about the vvordt place on record is in Clifton. There is no occasion fo r allowing streets to get in .such a condition. If a town or village cannot afford to keep up its streets especially, be­ tween -improved roads, it should be abandoned and thrown into the town­ ship. Last spring the •Clifton offi­ cials drug black iriuck from the side o f the street into the center. There was no travel on it until this winter. During the so ft weather the street is impassible and fa r worse than before*it was scraped last spring. The state highway commissioner should have as .much- power over county commissioners, township trus­ tees and counsels as the boards o f health haye and the legislature would do a w ise thing in passing such a law. •' FREE MAIL DELIVERY. Camden, Preble county, may get free city delivery o f mail if Con­ gressman Gard is successful.
