precedent for Government Ala.

A precedent for government aid in
making good country roads, is the aid
given the states in building and main
tanning levees on the Mississippi river
and its tributaries. The government
appropriation for levees amounts to
about s1,000,000 per annum. This
work directly benefits about 800, 900
people while the construction of good
country roads would benefit at least
50, ,000, 900 people. Pennsylvania has ap-
propriated s5,750,oO0 to be expended
within five years under the direction
Of state board of highways. Thus
the state proposes to cooperate with
counties and townships in making and
maintaining good highways. The coun-
ties, or townships are required to pay
onc-half the cost OF such work, the
state paying the other half. Ten per
cent Of the state appropriation is to be

Vast Amount of Work Comes

COACH BUILDING, IN AMERlcus.
Company viii at Once Greatly In
crease Its Shop Force Here BY Ad-
dition of Car Work-This Depart:
ment Viii Be Permanent.

Orders have beed issued to the end
of bringing to the Seaboard Railway
shops in Americus the greater portion
of the coach building and repair work
of the entire system which, it is said.
will be made permanent department
here, thus very largely increasing the
force of skilled artisans in this as we'll
as in other lines of work.
At least thirty additional coach
builders and skilled men will be en-
ploYed here at once.
This information is most gratifying,
as 1t means the rapid enlargement Of
the shops here and the increase in the
working forces IN all departments, as q
vast amount of work will now come
here.
Supt. Sanderson, of the motive de-
partment, will come to Americus very
shortly to look over the situation and
will order here all material and sup.
plies required in this work. The ma
chinery is already installed, but some
little time will be required to ship
hardwoods and the vast amout of 9th
er material required in coach building.
The addition of thirty or forty skill
ed men will make quite an increase in
the shop force here.
And, better still, it is not for q brief
period of months covering the crush"
season but, as stated above, it is the
purpose of the company to make ithis
branch of it's repair work here a per.
manency.
The Times Recorder is informed also
that IN future more repair worklin all
lines will be done in the local shops,
the finest on the entire system. More
car repair and engine repair work will
be sent to Americas, and within year
it will not be surprising if the Sea-
boards shop force here was increased
to five hundred men.
This means vast deal for Americus,
and this announcement this morning
will be hailed with pleasure. The
company is going to build up it's shops
here very largely, and the fact will be
duly and substantially appreciated.
