ALAMANCE MAKES GOOD ROADS
Letters From Prominent Citizens Showing What
Has Been Done With Wise Observations on
Road Building,

not require an Elisha TO tell us
that the value of good roads is
beyond our comprehension in dollars as
we'll as happiness.
Ten years ago the idea of building a
macadami road in Alamance was
looked upon as matter of impossibility,
but today we have about twenty miles
of macadamized roads in this county,
about all of the principal roads are fairly
well graded and in high state of pre-
servation And we find the building of
good roads gets easier and the burden
gets lighter.
Under the road law of 1899, the peo-
pie outside Of the incorporated towns of
the county that were subject to road duty
were required to pay tax of $500 per
year, or to work four days. This was for
the purpose of grading and maintaining
the roads. but under the laws of 1901 the
road law was so amended that we now
have to work three days or pay tax of
S1.25 per year, and our roads today are in
better condition than ever saw them be-
fore during the winter months.
We have TO pay a special road tax of
5 1-3 cents on the 500 worth of property
and 80 cents on the poll for the building
and maintaining of the macadamized
roads OF the county, and what the aver
age farmer pays ne will more than reap
the benefit Of by going one trip to the
county seat during any OF the winter
months of the year, on foot or by con-
veyance. Put the people of this county
are divided on the subject of good roads
as they are on everything else. They are
divided into three classes. One class
(the better class) are willing to pull the
wagon and one class are willing to ride,
at least if somebody else will do the
pulling; and one class are always pulling
back. This not only applies to roads,
but to any public expenditure. Every
one had as we'll tell the better class of
this county that there is no God as TO
tell them that good roads is not an ad-
vantage to one and ALL
The value of or farms hasadvanced
sc per cent in the last ten years, and we
owe it to q few patriotic road builders Of
this county.
Our roads are of untold Importance to
our children that have to attend the pub
lie schools land ours are second to none.)
Ten years ago the roads where we could
only. haul two bales of cotton today we
can haul from four to five, and you see
the use of the road one day is worth as
much as the average tax payer has to
pay in any county in the State. Our
doctors will ride cheaper and our preach
ers can preach better for they do net
feel like preaching after riding ten or
fifteen miles $50 they say, but 1t was
rot so ten or twenty years ago; and our
vehicles last longer Any man that OPP
poses good roads is a clog TO the wheels
of progress

Ny Dear Sir: note with much inter-
est the fattering prospects OF the meet
ing on the 18th and 14th instant of the
Good Roads Congress, and look forward
to the occasion as one of most pleasant
nature. and will certainly lend my pres
ence and influence with firm belief that
this congress will set our people TO work
with a determination TO have better
roads from which the entire State Will
enjoy many comforts.
Our county, as you may be aware, is
now paying road tax of Is 2-S cents on
the $780, and by this means we are be-
ginning to feel that we are making a
progress of which we should not be
ashamed. as we now have more than six
miles of permanent roads, besides the
roads in general have been shaped up,
ditched out, leveled up and Strengthened
until a better class of roads prevails
throughout the entire county
Our people, in fact all of us, are on the
order of the Chinaman TO some extent,
and some are always ready to oppose any
new move regardless of it's benefits, and
when our county secured the services OF
a competent engineer and road builder,
many were the comments about his work
ings, but since his building the few sam
pie miles. as it We're, of macadam road,
after the plans of the Mecklenburg county
roads (our community getting UP and
running an excursion to Charlotte that
our people might see their roads, this
comment is fast dying out, as every day $
use of these macadam roads convince the
people that with the thickening popula-
ton of our county these macadam roads
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1902-02-09
BY w. d. Woods, Road Supt.

The board of county commissioners OF
Alamance county have levied a special
tax of 16 2-3 cents on the 500 valuation
of property and % cents on the poll for
the building of permanent roads.
The condition of the public roads i'll
Alamance county is good The sentiment
of the tax payers is in favor of special
tax for road building and better roads.
A great feeling of dissatisfaction eX-
;sts among taxpayers, both on the con-
dition of the roads and the present sys-
tenn of working the roads, which is by
taxation and convict labor.
The Importance of good roads is so
great that il is beyond our power to
know just what is the true value OF good
roads, or what will be the greatest
benefits derived from the building of
better roads and general road improve
ment
Awaiting and ready to help forward
the cause of good roads in North Caro-
lima and hoping to attend the Good
Roads Congress in Raleigh on February
18th and 14th. l am,
Very truly yours,
