THE ROAD QUESTION AGAIN.

Iurrah for John Purvis, II
there IS any more in the county
with a. strong a back bone and
and as sound a judgment as he,
let US hear from him, because il
the bond issue is passed it will be
sure to put the county in Z worse
stage than what it IS. The county
bls been pretending to work the
roads for three years by taxation.
What sort Of roads has she GOT?
They are in a worst shape today
than they were under the old sys-

They are in I shape now for the
flies To blow. Why Because
you cannot save ueat without
salt and you cannot save the roads
without work. Put a foundation

The bond Issue will build txo
roads and then all that are rot In
reach OF these roads viii have to
do without or work the roads and
pay the - tax too. Is there any
fairness about that? No. because
they have been paying 3 road
tax for four years and have not
got any roads yet. What has
gone with al taat money? Has
1t been put cute the roads? The
roads speak for themselves. Il
mas not. so what has gone with IT,
It surely must be squandeged

FIR maaY years this pa7er has
printed column after column in
f.sp ot 4fol roads throughout
tlis state The tine ha- come
when Wa must have good roads
at any reasonable costs. In view
Of the peculiar nature Of soil the
great obstacle - permanent road
building is lack Of materials.
The idea has gone rtroad that
sand and clay mixed is the prop
er proportion will make perma-
rent roads. Now, that may be
truei we trust 1t is true since we
have an abundance Of both in
most places IN our county. How
ever, as q matter Of common
knowledge, the torrential rains
We have will WISH away any sort
of road that is not buils oi the
hardest possible substances es-
pecially ii the water is allowed to
run over it as it must down the
steep hills in our county. On Il
level roadway this might DO well
bat on the grades it cannot last
very long, in the very nature of
things.
Toput sravelof any sort means
very large expense, many states
are doing that and it seems ulti-
matcly that all communities must
place rock or gravel on their
roads to insure passage every day
in the year.
Money judiciously expended in
putting down permanent roads is
always money well spent, the
great trouble is u get the worth
of our money. As We are now
going there is widespread dissat-
l-facuOn about the roads: the
form is about up to plans and
specifications in the months when
all roads are solid but in the bad
months there is no bottom to them.
The people are dissatisfied their
money goes and no roads. O1
the eve Of a bond issue every yo-
ter wants u be assured that his
money wiilnot be fJolishly spent;
he wants to be advised that there
Is no bad contract made, that
when made it will be enforced,
that the roadted Will be properly
laid out and that the suriacing
will be permanent; in other words
the job must be worth the money .
The great trouble in most states
is first from lack OF road building
knowiedge-thousands are spent
before TIE people learn how u do
the work. There Is much graft
and dishonesty in the methods
used. You see, the supervisors
and other persons interested
whose duties it IS to look after
the roads. who were elected or
appointed b the people, after
they work awhile some road con-
'ractor comes along aa1 this OIL
Ger resigns his job, be gets a good
berth II Overseeing some part
Of the work. That feature has
caused much dissatisfaction and
must always be watched. Graft
ers don't build roads and - in
many .ates these have ben the
worst drawbacks.
Our people want 70 count the
costs before going in AM bur
deaing ourselves with a big debt:
il we are sure We can Get value
received. then all right; il no.
let's not e hasty but give care
ful study To this situation.
