Excerpt from Sixty-Fourth Annual Report of the Board of Public Works: Also, First Annual Report of He Board of Public Works, the Chief Engineer of the Public Works and the Ohio Canal Commission Acting as a Joint Board in the Management and Control of the State Public Parks and Pleasure Resorts of Ohio The betterments and repairs needed on the Public Works for the coming season herein recommended to be made, you will find numerous and of diversified character, not a few requiring a large expenditure of money, and which, taken altogether, would necessitate a sum far beyond your anticipated receipts or the ability of your department to furnish. In attempting, therefore, to maintain the great Public Works of Ohio with insufficient means, your department can but resort to the old 'penny wise and pound foolish' policy which unfortunately it has too long been forced to practice and which if continued, must, in the near future, lead to the utter annihilation of the whole system.
