Good Roads and Autos.

Already in North Carolina there
have been issued up to the first of
January, 1913, S2,663, PTS 5 in high
way bonds. Many of these bonds
are for a long term and it is ques-
tionable whether the roads can pos
siblv survive until the bonds are re-
deemed.
Over $4,000 miles Of excellent
roads have already been constructed
at a cost Of something over 100 mil
lion dollars under the State highway
organizations. 1t will always be to
the credit Of American highway en-
gineers that they have succeeded in
preserving this vast system Of roads
from the destructive effects Of the
new traffic by motor vehicles, but it
must not be inferred for one mo-
ment that the automobile has been
only a harmful influence to our
highways. The autonobilist has re-
sponded to the taxation Of his ma
chine splendidly. The total amount
of automobile revenues from license
fees and registrations in 1912 was
over S., 900, 00O, and in those States
where there are well developed State
highway commissions the automo-
bile revenue cancelled the cost of
maintenance of the State highways.
The automobile revenue in FL States
averaged 1855 a mile for all the ex-
listing State roads,. w. Page in

Maggie Schultz, a woman of the New

and stunted in the slpms, and having
