R. T. Valkenburg, of Laporte, was yesterday granted a patent by the government oovering every part of jan automobile railway, whioh he will construct between the east and the west. A sample track will be put down between Toledo and Cleveland, and if it is successful the full line will be built. The soheme is to lay a twelve-foot wide oement roadway with grooved rails, and it is claimed that the road can be built for SB,COO per mile. For a hot air soheme this is good and is the latest one yet.
