Storms Cost Ohio Millions In Road Work
In Columbus Ohio the winter weather and heavy snow cost the state about 16 million dollars in highway work. Figures from L F Schaeublin show snow removal of 2 838 432 since November 25 1950 and 4 million dollars in damage to 14 000 miles of state highways. The federal road bureau covers half the cost making up to 16 million dollars in lost construction. Schaeublin calls it the harshest winter on highways in 25 years with an estimated four million dollars over normal maintenance.
