The United States Geological Survey
has continued to cooperate with us in

geologic map of the State and the work

The question as to the best and most
economic methods of improving the pub
lie roads of the State. the character and
distribution of the best materials for
macadamizing roads, have attracted an
increasing amount of attention Ill all
portions of the State. The survey has
not only carried on Investigations con
corning the road materials, but has also
given large amount of Information
concerning the methods of road building,
and we have now nearly ready for pub
lication a report giving a large amount
of information concerning these subjects.
Already more than thirty counties in the
State have adopted in part at least the
policy of working roads by taxation and
there is every reason to believe that at
the approaching session of the General
Assembly still larger number of coun-
ties will ask to be added to this list.

ready for distribution and will make a

in North Carolina will be sent to the
